Like it a lot! I would really like to know where in the Bible does it say we have an earthly "mother" that is an organization?

My best friend who was 16 at the time, was almost raped by a 24 year old MS, pioneer, who made a situation of being with her at some isolated location. This pioneer, by the way, was still living with mommy and his mommy felt getting married was a sin. So I guess wanting to rape someone is better than getting married? Huh?

Oh my goodness, you people are bringing back memories of those horrible songs where not even Mariah Carey could make them sound decent. What a sound-scary nightmare!

i went out after every privilege i could get my hands on.
however i never once thought that i was of the "anointed.

Never thought I was one, however, many of them appeared to be a little off their rocker frankly. One older man in our congregation felt that Mickey Mouse/Disney figures and any other talking "animals" whether cartoon or whatever, were from Satan; this was due to the fact that Satan used the serpent to speak to Eve. LOL Hahahahhahaha Everyone looked up to him as if he were a pope.
Also--a roommate of my sister's who was anointed, if she observed my sister in a cranky mood, once asked "Where did you get that bandana you're wearing?". She explained that if my sister bought the bandana at a thrift shop, it may be a "demonized or possessed" item that needs to be destroyed. She would often say weird things like that, completely obsessed about demonic influence in the home. Come to find out years later, my sister suffered from severe depression--so much for all that demonic influence of household items.

The Papal Spectacle. More smoke, mirrors, bells, and whistles.
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. inso the greatest show on earth rolls around again.
traditional catholics must be exulted to be a part of the death of one pope and the selection of another.
many of them would not have thrilled to such a glorious occasion.. a spectacular location, a cast of millions (most of whom are alive), lavish costumes and props, and plenty of superstitious ceremonies and customs.

Oh just thought of something else. For a lot of people who post here, we have been pretty much taught and brainwashed by the JW's to look down on other religions and even make fun of them. The JW's spend a lot of time in their publications painting nasty pictures of the drunk harlot "Babylon the Great". That may be why so many people here, after going through the loss of the so called "truth", feel so cynical toward churches/religions. We do not mean to be unkind, so please give us a break.

I think some of us just have a dark sense of humor--don't take us so seriously or yourselves so seriously! People need to laugh more, life is too short.
I can't stand the catholic church or the pope and enjoy making fun of it. But I would never do it out in the open because I care about other people's feelings and because everyone has a right to their own belief system. The pope has done a lot more good for mankind than I have personally.

when you were babtized and dedicated did you feel a void?
by swiftbreeze inthis has always troubled me:.
i was studying to be babtized although i was raised around the "truth" i still had to have an official study.
so i was taught that i had to go to jehovah in prayer stating my desire to be dedicated and babtized.

I couldn't figure out why I hated preaching to people so much and it made me feel guilty. I despised going out in service, it felt like such a waste of time. I was so horribly depressed when I was a JW that I'm surprised I didn't commit suicide when I was a teenager. I felt like I was a void when I was a JW. Looking back, I wonder how many people around me felt the same way.

OPEN LETTER TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
by Outaservice inyou may not remember, but i know you very well.
i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.
you told me beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.

Well put Mary.
If Eduardo feels the way he does, I think he needs to find another website. He sounds like he is a loyal jdub.
