I really thought i was going to live forever
by Aussie Oz inrandom discussion today ended up in my wife mentioning when she saw halley's comet (1986?
) and all of a sudden i had a total recall moment!.
when it came by, rather than make the effort to watch it, i flippantly said "nah, i'll see it next time!".

Ok Watchtower: will you be sending a DO to the funerals in Nigeria?
by Aussie Oz inobviously you 'cared' about whitney's death, a horrible tragedy, enough to rally the troops and send a district overseer no less, to give the funeral talk.. do you care enough about the 20 poor jw's that died in that tragic truck cum bus accident in nigeria?
who will you be sending to the funerals?
what demonstration of the great brotherly love will you do for them?.

If and when Holt gets a trial...
by Aussie Oz inpresuming he does get a trial.... would the fbi or police, prosecution or defense teams look into whether the elders may have known about his child porn?
would they look at why he stepped down as an m/s?.
i am imagining that if they do, and they do find that the elders had knowledge of his predilictions could this be yet another bad turn of events for the wt?.

Did I do a fade without knowing it?
by Aussie Oz inseeing that there a few new fade threads, and farkels hard to top one, got me to wondering if i actually faded without realizing it till 14 years later.... rewind to 1998 when i just plum ran out of steam.
too many years battling my personal demons resulted in a rapid cease function and in the course of a couple of months i went from m/s and the guy most likely to succeed to leaving wife and congregation.
i passed in asignments, stopped preaching and meetings cold turkey, handed back public talks etc.

The future.....It just doesn't matter!
by Aussie Oz infor some odd reason i cannot remember, i recently got to thinking about the future, not retirement or paying off the house kind of future but in particular, the dreaded 'new world order' that is claimed to be plotting the death of 90% of the population, the planned mass sterilization of humanity, viruses in the drinking water, some stones from the 1970s with guidlines for the future, you may well know the stuff of which i speak.. it has been raised before on the forum, and other forums and blogs can be found with many preaching the new age of death to come.
i wondered if it could really be so, was it really happening?
are we to be the victims of of the 'elite' as they get named, who want to make us all slaves?

should we be talking about the 'new FDS' change to GB?
by Aussie Oz ini am not sure if this has been covered, i don't seem to log in as much these days and this forum moves so darn fast, so here goes:.
should we really be talking about the change of the fds now being the gb alone as official?.
bear in mind that this 'new light' is only something mentioned at the agm (so we are told).

JW predicts tsunami for adelaide australia in 1976, ever heard of this?
by Aussie Oz ini remember way back when, and it was reported in an adelaide newspaper at the time, that a tsunami was predicted to wipe out adelaide and the then state premier don dunstan very famously stood on the end of the glenelg jetty to 'stop it' (to show what rubbish it was).
anyway, looking around wiki i find this snippet:.
one famous demonstration of dunstan's charismatic style and media-savvy came in january 1976. a jehovah's witness soothsayer predicted that due to dunstan and the state's social liberalisationwhich he saw as sinful[121]god would destroy adelaide with a tsunami caused by an earthquake.

Cataloging the damage of the Watchower in my life
by Aussie Oz in1. jehovah's witnesses interferance in my parents marriage leading to mother rejecting father who could not come at the teachings.. 2. my mother taking us 500km away from father to start a new life with a much older jw man just after armageddon didnt come in 75...for teaching us that he was evil and deserved to be killed by god.. 3. bullying at school for being a jw, resulting in only one friend all through school and learning little social interaction.
leading to leaving early with no education beyond year 10.. 4. marrying way to young for love?....
5. making me feel like a demon for being human.. 6. rejection by all friends and wife because i couldn't stick it.. 7. not going back to wife because of rejection, nervous breakdown by freeing wife and believing i was now doomed to die.. 8. almost leaving my childrens lives by both suicide and disapearing.. 9. wifes support by wt to force me out of their lives and for coaching her to do this.
