  so, i know this has likely been discussed before, but i am still amazed at what i see of witnesses on fb.

  i see references to birthdays, or actually celebrating of birthdays.

  i just saw pictures of one witness i knew (i am guessing she isn't one anymore...) eating a birthday cake and opening birthday gifts.

  Afraid of the end of the world?

  i am wondering how much of my anxiety about the end of the world is from the wt experience, and how much is just me.

  i just watched wall-e, and while a cute movie, it really made me anxious.

  scifi in general makes me nervous.

  i was just thinking about this today.

  c of c opened my eyes on how the gb makes decisions.

  i used to think that they must have prayed a lot together and then had moments of enlightenment from god.

  could someone explain what mts is?

  i am assuming it is ministerial training school, but i don't really know the significance of it.

  i keep hearing reference to it, but i guess i don't understand who attended, and what sort of prestige it provided.

  so, i keep hearing reference to this.

  was this just taking place in really small congregations?

  i mean, i know the philosophy behind it; my mom would put a hat on to pray in front on my "unbelieving" dad.

  2. experiences

  i have been lurking here for a couple of months.

  i was born and raised as a witness, and am a little weirded out to even be posting on here (you know the paranoia).

  anyway, i faded about 10 years ago, and after reading so many posts, i am so happy that it was a pretty uneventful experience.
