Forget what they say, most JWs do not believe the end is near...

during that time i repeatedly vocalized my belief that "the end is near.
" however, what did this cost me?

Things to understand about talking to a Jehovah's Witness...
by drew sagan inplease note that everything i write here is within the context of discussions between two witnesses.
conversations between a jw and non jw are different in a number of ways and so i will not be discussing them here.
the 'running ahead' fallacy.

Hello distant friends, want some books?
by drew sagan inas you may remember (if you were here to remember it), i stopped posting on this forum quite a while ago.
and let me tell you, what a great decision that was!
it has been great to move on from all this jw nonsense.

Free load of Watchtower books (tons!), must pick up
by drew sagan ini've been thinking about getting rid of these books for a long time.
i have bound volumes starting with 1950s up through the early 2000's (not complete, but probably about 35-40 volumes).
i also have about 50-70+ books, including some from the 1950's (let god be true & others).

Goodbye Everybody!
by drew sagan instartfragment.
after thinking things over i have realized that the time has now come for me to say goodbye to jwd.. some personal reminiscing about all of the people i have enjoyed talking with on jwd reminds me why it is time to go.
simply speaking, most of my good friends are no longer here.

Governing Body 2.0
by drew sagan ini borrow the phrase gb 2.0 from alltimejeff, who used it yesterday in the post about theodore jaracz's death.. i was interested in starting a thread that addresses the new leadership regime that has emerged within the wts, especially in light of changes (albeit mundane) the organization has undertaken over the past 15 years or so.
while few of us have had close contact with the men in charge, changes they have made in recent years surly reflect a definable leadership style.
it also reveals a little bit about how they view the organization and its future.. from what i can put together, it seems that there a few obvious things to note.. - 1999 seems to be the sea change year in terms of gb appointment and might be seen sybolically as a turning point in terms of leadership for the group.

Anybody able to look something up for me in a bound volume?
by drew sagan inback in 1997 i began attending meetings.
i am trying to pinpoint the date but in order to do so have to look something up in the bound volume (which i don't have).
the first watchtower magazine i ever got was in the summer of 97, (probably between may and august).

Finally finished my college degree
by drew sagan inthis week i finally finished college.
feels great to finally be completed.. i have to say that the process has been therapeutic.
a year and a half ago when i started to go back i still defined myself in terms of my experience as a jw.. that is all gone now.

Time to go back to the JWs
by drew sagan inafter being a bitter, pathetic, back stabbing, ignorant, evil apostate i have seen the errors of my ways.
