tired of waiting for armageddon
by embeth2525 ini am really tired of waiting for the other side of armageddon to feel better.
i have'nt felt very well for years, with fibromyalgia and depression and other things.
my friend who is a baptised jw tells me the only way we will ever feel any better is to wait for the other side of armageddon.

The Watchtower's big......(Homer Simpson-like)....... DOH'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by formerout ini was just reading another thread where i was reminded about how the wtbts decided that it was "ok" to have babies again.
i believe this was after the 1975 fiasco where, prior to this they were, in essence, telling people to drop everything, including having a family.. their great revelation about how it was now "ok to have babies" may have been a rush to judgement.
the fact is that a lot of people left because they were "pissed" at being lied to.

Did you pray because you felt like it or because you were told to?
by JH inwitnesses pray many times a day.
at the field service, at the meetings, before each meal and even more.. i don't know if you're like me, but i didn't pray because i felt like it, but because i was told to.. personally, 1 long honest prayer a week would have been much better than 20 routine prayers.
did you feel that it was natural to pray 3 times a day or more?.

My sad news
by Fe2O3Girl inas some of you on the board knew i was expecting a baby, i feel i should let you know that things have not worked out for us.. when i went for the 20 week ultrasound scan last thursday, severe problems were found with our baby's internal development.
only one kidney was detected, and it was very enlarged and polycystic.
there was no long term hope for the baby at all; if it survived to full term it could only live for hours at most.

Somebody- Please Help Me UNDERSTAND?
by upside/down ini understand there is a ton of anger out there toward the wts and dub's, and rightly so... what i don't understand is this notion that there is an evil conspiracy on the part of the wts and dubs as individuals to subjugate and control the unwary (or however you want to label us) for some evil sinister purpose.
i know what they are doing and agree it's wrong but to what purpose- i mean you can look at televangelist and see what's up with them (follow the money).
but what's up with the dub's.

What Is Your Biggest Regret Because You Were a Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ingrowing up as a witness makes it nearly impossible to deal with the "world", as a child.
constant pressure is put on witness kids to conform.
most lead a "double life" out of necessity.
