i've been "lurking" around here for a while now (on-and-off for a couple years).

today's the day i'm going to take "the plunge" into "apostacy" and introduce myself here.

i am a 39-year-old single mom of 6, i live in the interior of bc, canada, and work in a doctor's office.

Joyzabel

wow, welcome to the board.

Glad you are not lurking anymore.

Hugs,

Best Service Meeting Item - ever !

by BluesBrother in

the listeners thread about service meetings got me to think, ok , so what was the best service meeting item you ever heard?

we all know and remember the bad ones, but with all our collective years of seat warming on a thurs/fri night, there must have been some good ones.. i nominate the item a few years ago on the dangers of the internet.

it made it sound so exciting that i went off down the public library to find out how to use this new invention - the rest is history ....

Joyzabel

lol Blues Brother.

Hubby gave that talk at the service meeting. Then he went home and got on the internet.

Like you said.....the rest is history!

i can't thank ray franz enough for what he wrote and how he has affected people for the better.

while reading his books and seeing threads about him i have always wondered how his wife reacted when he started telling her about his doubts and trouble with the society.

how did she react when she had to leave bethel with him?

welcome also "Iamforeverfree".

Sorry to hear about your dad. But he was just a follower of an evil destructive cult. Otherwise they wouldn't have the blood policy. He did what he thought "God" wanted for him. Glad you know the difference between "God" and the Watchtower.

Why didn't I take the blue pill?

by ljwtiamb in

cypher: i know what you're thinking, 'cause i'm thinking the exact same thing.

actually, i've been thinking it since i got here: why didn't i take the blue pill?

- the matrix.

for those who had the privilege of serving at El's house ( Bethel) it was easy to see the hypocrisy of the WTBT. As Ray said once.....when you've been in the kitchen, you know what the resturant is really like.
