so, here i am, reeling from the events of the recent weeks...and then comes a blessed respite.
one of the "perks" of being on the janitorial crew was that, every summer, tradition sent us to mountain farm for a couple of weeks, to pick strawberries..
ahhhhhh!!

curiosity might prompt you to viisit a chat room that claims to be a place where witness youths from around the world can make new friends.. harbor insidious dangers for christians.
some of these people started disparaging our beliefs..they were really apostates..deliberately tried to undermine the morals.
false brothers.
hey if it weren't for the internet, most of us would still be the pinochio before he turns into a real boy... yay for flesh, bones and, most importantly, a mind to direct all that flesh and bones

so, that spring night (i'm pretty sure it was 1971--memory fades a bit) i'm laying on an army cot in temporary housing, staring at the ceiling--my first night at bethel, and the beginning of the rest of my life as a bethelite (or so i had always thought).
true enough, i'd signed a solemn oath before jehovah, and submitted it to the governing body, that i would stay at bethel for at least 4 years (that was the way they did it then)...but the real expectation (and knorr made no bones about this in his public admonitions to bethelites) was that you were there for life--fine by me.. what more could i ask?
i was in the "control center" of the organization, surrounded by dozens and dozens and dozens of the anointed, and walking past members of the governing body every day...i could just feel their presence as they approached; it was almost palpable, as the holy spirit oozed from them.
i didn't read parts 1 thru 3, but i sure liked part 4... kinda the exact opposite of the rocky movies

we weren't at the circuit assembly this weekend but a friend told us the circuit overseer made this very strong comment.
didn't even say anything about learning a trade.
Yes - because Armageddon is just around the corner
actually, according to the "higher ups", we have already passed that corner and armageddon is RIGHT THERE! YOU CAN SEE IT!

does anyone know a website about where can i find sublimated images in watchtower material?.
peter
awwwwwwww you said sublimated! so cute!
i started fading two and a half years ago... and i have never been contacted once.
not even a call to see how i was doing.
my mom is still a diehard dub and doesn't even think it unusual.
leave well enough alone, you say? NEVER HA! kidding... i know im lucky im lucky im lucky im lucky...

p.s. we don't have zip codes in canada, OK???
if i am not allowed to watch porn, then my wife certainly may not listen to bon jovi.
am i right brothers?
bon jovi makes girls get all giddy in the loinal area.
ha well no... but jon bon jovi reaches such a large audience (from 16-55 or so)... so i just figured he's a good example

how is that possible? i started fading two and a half years ago... and i have never been contacted once. not even a call to see how i was doing. my mom is still a diehard dub and doesn't even think it unusual. her reasoning? "you never had your publisher records sent over. you're not in their jurisdiction, so they don't know how they can help you. they need to know your history." funny, no elders from my previous two halls have called either. half my family are elders and MS's and have never called once. i see them at family functions and they either act like everything is normal and cool or kind of snub me.
maybe if the brothers knew they could count their time with me because i am inactive they would try to reach me. in some ways i love it, and in other ways i find it offensive... i guess i should be happy that elders aren't knocking down my door with questions???

which of ray's books would you recommend someone read first.
coc does a great job of explaining ray's situation and the results.
while covering some major doctrines along the way.
crisis of conscience was written first, and fulfills a different need than ISOCF... i read both of them in that order and looking back, i would never change the order for me personally because CoC helps you disconnect from the watchtower a little better...

if i am not allowed to watch porn, then my wife certainly may not listen to bon jovi. am i right brothers? bon jovi makes girls get all giddy in the loinal area. he makes every other man seem inadequate. he makes women pine for something their husband/boyfriend is not. just like what porn does for men.
