  Missing a meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  by Skeptically Yours in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  today, like many days, well, usually once or twice weekly, i'm missing yet another meeting; it's the 'book study' meeting.. just don't feel like hearing the same crap.

  the book (isaiah's prophecy) we're studying now is so redundant and boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  plus, i saw all the people i care for over the weekend, so i really don't need to have another doses of their love just yet.. sound familiar to anyone?!.

  I sure do remember that phase. I started to come up with legitimate reasons to miss some of my meetings. Such as getting in home late from work. Sometimes I would walk home from my job which was over ten miles from my house. I lost a lot of weight when I starting doing that. That is how bogged down I felt about wanting or being made to feel like I had to attend the many boring meetings.

  Although, I am a member of another church and there are meeting that I attend, I have never felt more free in my entire life. I now serve God because I want to not because I am afraid of what the elders might think.

  Do you still expect to live eternally?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since leaving the watchtower, do you still believe that you will live forever, here on earth?

  some might think that heaven is the final destiny, while other may just believe in this short life and nothing else.

  what is your belief and how does it affect your daily life?

  oh yes, i still believe that there is such a thing as eternal life. whether it is here on earth or in some heavenly installation. that is a promise from Jesus Christ who is the Messiah. the scriptures were written to glorify Him and to fulfill God's promises to mankind. i don't believe the so-called g.b. who are always changing doctrine to suit them. phewy, humbug. i believe in the words of the Bible. God has never changed or altered what He ever said. this is why i will always believe in my chance of having eternal life.

  To The Field! Umm, Maybe Not..

  by Englishman in

  2. beliefs

  even after all these years away from dubbism, i still get a buzz each sunday morning when i awake and think "no field service ever again!".

  i appreciate that it's now called something along the lines of "engaging in the ministry" or similar, back then we simply "went on the work".

  god, how i loathed it.. so tomorrow, instead of door-bashing and meeting attending, i will do what i want to do.

  oh man, i couldn't stand field svc.what kills me now is to believe that i actually made allowed myself to be forced to do something that i really could not stand. i will never miss it. EVER!!!!

  i do however go to church on sundays and i attend wedn night prayer meetings at my local baptist church because I WANT TO not because i had better or else.

  what a joy it was to be baptized at my church without having to go through the mandatory, mundane two book study and the required field svc. and oh yeah, let us not forget about that list of over 100 questions and bible quotes that you had to have down pact.

  AMEN

  WT goofie phrases.

  by Pepper in

  2. friends

  i used to get into trouble for making light of the these phrases that some elders have told me are to be used only gods people.

  lol that you all may know maybe:.

  "well, brother that is very "commendable," just before the meeting ends the po says to those in attendance "brothers the time left is reduced," i once heard a co say to those seated during one of his talks "well now, we don't want to die at armageddon now do we, well of course not.

  thanks all who responded. i couldn't find anything on paul c. jung. that is his correct name. he doesn't mean anything to me. it is just that i received a book in the mail from him and when i looked his name up the only info was that he puts out free books.

  that ends this search. but thank you all

  hey gumby,

  he has at least twenty so called religious books out and i can never find out anything out about him on the internet but the fact that he believes that he has to spread the word.

  i ordered one of his books which are all free to anyone but it seems rather mystical to me. like some sort of unification (sun myung moon) thing.

  i used to listen to arnold murray until i found out that he doesn't agree with interracial marriages and that eve and the serpent had sex. plus he reaches too many conclusions on his own. he constantly talks about how something is his opinion. i don't want his opinion. i want the Word.
