  Did you always know you might leave?

  by jws in

  if you grew up a jw, did you always know you weren't going to be one when you grew up?

  did you ever have that spark?

  i don't think i always knew i wouldn't be one.

  No, the problem was with me obviously. I just had to do more, reach out more to quell my doubts.

  Even after I stopped going and moved out of state I would still say something to the effect of 'I'm a Jehovah's Witness, but I don't go to the meetings anymore.' stuck in a pathetic limbo. Took a while to convince myself that I wasn't one at all. I never went back once I left, but it took a *long* time for me to leave mentally. There's still a few things I need to do to deliver the coup de grace so to speak.

  I think I remember the one, was "Catch the Moon" the one where one of the ogres got stuck in the well? I liked the Doozers, and Cotterpin. I bet if someone would've made a Doozer stick candy in the 80's they would've made a killing.

  Scriptures that bothered me when I was a Witness

  by I quit! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking of a some of the scriptures that really bothered me when i was a witness.

  one of them was exodus 34:6" "and jehovah went passing before his face declaring: "jehovah jehovah a god merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth".

  to me this made god look like a little kid with an out of control ego.

  The Tower of Babel story always made God to seem to be a bit of a prick to me. "Look, mankind is achieving great things. Let's mess with them." Not a direct quote, but that was the gist of it.

  he was trying to sell obama's seat plus a bunch of other shakedown schemes using his union contacts and control of state funding.

  Yes, the timing. The nerve of him waiting till after the election, and Obama giving up his Senate seat to appoint a replacement through illegal means. This is just more proof of libuhrul media bias!

  i went to jobs and family resources yesterday.

  the man i talked to said the country is not in a recession like the president said on december 1st.

  he said we are in a depression, much like 1947. he said things will continue like this for decades.

  750 billion bailout plan

  by loosie in

  ok i am not a major in economics but i have a better idea than bailing out the major companies who lay off workers anyway.

  i don't see how that is goign to help the economy.. there are 301,139,947 people in the us according to the gov library.

  if you divide 750 billion by the population of the us you get 2.49 million dollars.

  British billion is 10^12th or a 1 with 12 zeros.

  American billion is 10^9th.
