I was about 8 it came from Micah, hated every second of doing it, the after the next couple I would stand with my head in my hands mumbling incoherently down to the floor, needless to say I wasn't given any more.

What was your first public bible reading? And when?
by Mandrake ini perfectly remember that, rehearsing with mom, trying to read with enough emphasis and in a proper tone.
i was 5 years old, back then in 1996 i think, and the portion was james 5:1-13.... i found today that i still know the first verses by heart!!!
it's actually a cherished memory for me, i came to memorize those because mom had me starting the reading all over again until i got to read it properly... and in time!!!

Pakistan is one of the truly most dangerous places on the planet to be practising Christianity, just goes to show that these hopeless cretins have very little grasp of what world conditions are really like,boasting of NWT's being available in Urdu is breathtakingly stupid. -

I wonder how many palms were greased for the newbies of the new UK Branch Committee to be set in place as replacements for the "old school" a man full of hatred Ellis and the buddy of the most notorious paedophile in their history who now serves in good standing in my old congregation Michael Porter, namely Ron Drage, yet I remained shunned because I vocally disagreed with some doctrines which are now accepted as new light, unbelievable LOL! -

hard hitting slick productions aimed at the mentally unwell, folks down on their luck or just the plain gullible,pure unadulterated stupid fantasy, reminds me of a video game. Its true what others have said though The WTS appears unrecognisable from my time -

When you were really "in", did you have a pet idea that would steer wt into divine favor?
by prologos inwt writers ( klein) admitted at one time, that his majesty's doctrinal ship was zigzagging to find the right course, and many of us believed, that if we accepted the bible as true, cleaning up the teachings would establish the right bearing.
so: did you have a hobby-horse idea you were riding?
writing to brooklyn perhaps?

the old fables and urban legends that there are hidden manuscripts in the Vatican that prove the WTS is being used by God, and that the Devil is so convinced that jw's are truly gods chosen people that he would do anything to get us to leave the faith etc, I believed it for a little whole, sad was'nt I! -

he's recently re-added me again to his group without any prompting or requests, It makes little difference to me as I live alone and have been out decades but he has to be careful just adding people without any notification, people with families who are jw's in households where there is a doubter and where the jw's would be looking out for what kind of stuff they are looking at online etc.
