Stuff You Would Lose If You Went Back
by Nosferatu inso we know all the things the wts prevents us from doing, but that's much, much different than the stuff we've grown accustomed to.. for those who have been out for a number of years, what kind of things would end up being abandoned if you suddenly started going back to the kingdom hall?
you know, stuff that you now do on the nights you used to attend meetings, the things you own, the things you wear, etc..

Let's Just Be AWARE
by Flowerpetal inhello friends!.
i've been a member here for quite a while even though i haven't posted much the past few years.
i faded from jws starting in 2005 and it was the best decision i ever made.. i feel like i have grown spiritually because i'm no longer locked into a certain way of thinking as the society would have us do, being fearful of listening to other religious beliefs because they are a part of christendom and worst of all, because if one did while in the org.

jesus received his mission orders from jehovah.. the apostles received their mission orders from jesus.. philip received his mission orders from an angel.. paul received his mission orders directly from a vision of christ.. barnabas took paul to jerusalem where he met james (jesus brother and peter) for fiteen days.
no mission was ordered by jerusalem.

Give them a PYRAMID INCH and they'll take a mile!
by Terry inin ancient times the easiest way to measure things was to use the most convenient measuring tools available that anybody could afford to own: your own body parts!.
yes, you could use your own foot to measure "feet".. you could use the width of your thumb to measure an inch (call it by whatever name you like.).
what you really needed (necessity) was to invent your own proof!

The moment I knew it was crap....
by Brocephus inalready had doubts from the time i got pubes... but i was about 15 and we were studying the revelation "book" for the upteenth time.
i realized for every actual bible verse they qouted there was 2-3 paragraphs of conjecture, assumption, faulty logic and just plain stupidity.
that's when i began to plan my escape.

Birthdays Okay -- if done by Fractions
by FatFreek 2005 ini have 2 sons who live close to each other.
thankfully, they are emotionally close despite the fact that the oldest never was baptized and therefore not bound by wt standards.. the youngest, the jw, had a birthday on the 1st of the month.
i wished him a happy one -- but, of course, only in my mind knowing that he would dismiss such a wish if he even talked with me on the phone.
