What Did You Do With Your WWW Money When You Left?
by mentallyfree31 inquestion: when you awakened and discovered the truth about "da troof", what did you do with the www money in your service bag?.
i must confess: i took my apostate brother out to lunch and paid for it with my www stash.
i hadn't deposited my money in a long time, so there was about $30 in there.. .

As a JW, Did You Skip Houses You Knew Were Not Interested?
by mentallyfree31 ini have to confess: in my last 3 - 5 years in field circus, i basically only went to neighborhoods that were extrememly poor and thus i knew they would be favorable to the message.
i always had my own territory checked out, and even if an elder suggested i join another group in working another territory, i always had plenty of reasons why i needed to work mine.
(bible study or rv that i had to make at 11 am, etc...blah blah blah..lol).

The 144,000 Belief - What Will Happen To It?
by mentallyfree31 inwhat do you think will happen to the 144,000 belief as the years progress?
will the wts convert that to a "figurative" number and leave it open-ended?
or will they come up with another date and insist that anybody after that date should not partake?.

District Conventions: The Single People/Wanna Be Married Opportunity
by mentallyfree31 inas the conventions started today in my home state, i can't help but think of the hundreds of jw young people that i know who are still single, esp those over 25. it's really sad that for so many this is their only chance of finding somebody to date.
some that i know have even crossed over into their 30's, and they go year after year, always talking about the possibility of meeting someone special.. the organization literally controls their minds, and dating and marriage to a non-jw is out of the question.
it's so sad that so many have missed out on their life's dreams of having a family and companionship.

Why is There Wickedness On Earth..Just So I'm Clear? (Humor)
by mentallyfree31 ini'm trying to filter through my previous jw beliefs....as to why wickedness exists on earth:.
(1) a talking snake talked a naked woman into eating a piece of fruit.. (2) god really wants to step in but he can't because of this weird predicament with the angels looking on... (3) but, the good news is that a man came and lived a few years and they put him to death.. (4) so, if you will believe in this man, and tell a lot of other people about him...you will one day be perfect.
and you can live in a world with nothing but jehovah's witnesses.
