has anyone read the book when god becomes a drug by leo booth..
i read it back when i first started to wake up in 08 and am now just rereading it.
to me it is just amazing how much it parallels jws well any religion that people abuse..
It really is like a drug addiction. It's alarming to me how much of the human race "uses" it.
In the US especially - I don't think many politicians would get elected here if they claimed to be atheist or agnostic.
There is a religion addict on this board lately who is a fine example (maybe a bit more incoherent and angry than average.) His latest thread has 7 pages. WTF.
Hey LITS sorry if you are feeling low. You are an excellent friend to Flip and me.

ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith alone...for as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also" - james 2: 24, 26
al capone vs. judge rutherford
al capone gained his power by exploiting the weaknesses of people.. judge rutherford gained his power by exploiting the weaknesses of people.

GAWD ! I miss Farkel ! Had lunch a few times with him - great guy he was .
This quote is classic Farkel, " Al Capone lost his sanity due to his syphilis , Judge Rutherford lost his sanity without any outside help whatsoever. "
So great ! Farkel had a way with words. Rest in peace Farkel. You are still remembered here

this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.
"everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".
"also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.
Your friends statement, " the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and I have to fend for myself. "
God forbid this guy ever has to cook for himself or do his own laundry like the rest of the normal human race ! I mean I get it - it's all these clowns have ever known is serving in a mind controlled state for WT Society needs, and a lot was demanded of these folks - but give me a break - whining about cooking for yourself and doing your own laundry. The guy's been spoiled rotten like the rest of them in Bethel having their rooms cleaned for them and cooked for and laundry done. Next thing you know he's going to want his ass wiped as well ! We should all be so lucky

it's been at least a couple years since i've posted anything on here, and much longer than that since when i was active.
ten years ago i first came here all in turmoil over my disillusionment of my beliefs.
i've been through lots of ups and downs since then.
DANIEL-P - Man my friend , I really feel for you, I really do man. I went through this scene with my JW ex-wife after 19 years of marriage back in 1998. There are no easy solutions. I wanted to get professional marriage counseling- she did not - so we were done and we divorced moving on in life- sometimes that is the only option when all other options have run out.
That being said it's up to both you and your wife to determine your future together. Heart to heart confidential talks with each other from the bottom of your soul and I highly recommend both of you going to a professional marriage counselor to get an objective view of the deep lying resentments that may be running within both of you towards the other that have never been openly communicated. It may reveal surprises you were never aware of that existed. The counselor will help both of you see where there is room for improvement and growing if the relationship is to be healed. if your wife refuses to go- then that may be giving you your answer as to whether she wants the marriage to continue- or not. No easy solutions brother- just know that we love ya here and if you ever need a friend, I'm here, O.K. ? Feel free to PM me and perhaps we can chat on the phone sometime, O.K. ? Hang in bud, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
just to say merry christmas and a happy new year!
i hope wherever you are that you have a lovely holiday, even if like me your celebrating on the sly hehe in which case happy christmas on the sly.
xxxxxxxxxx.
