i couldn't put it down!
very informative.
i agreed with it all.
Well just to give an update...The uh, brothers used to come into my restaurant almost every weekend. Now that I haven't been there 2 months and ALL of them know I am attending spanish NONE have come into my place anymore. Even though I am not attending spanish but they have no way of knowing that....
To coin a phrase...
AH, FEEL THE LOVE!

This makes me think of being a witness....The song at the end of the video. Pacing the cage. Just like they betrayed Bret Hart...The society betrayed us.
"these child laborers are paid very little"... .
these jehovah`s witness child laborers.. .
are forced to work for free... "wbt$ child labor"... .
Sorry I mispoke....Samuel didn't CHOOSE to be a priest. His mother sold him to God if she were made pregnant. I would've been pissed if I was forced to be a priest. So Samuel didn't choose. He was forced to. Same with witness kids today.
this just doesn't sound correct.
can our religious friends help us understand this?.

I vote the first babies to go are the ones that scream in a restaurant while you are trying to have a nice and quiet night out.
remember the video of all the nice dudes who were on the governing body in the 70s?
(here's a refresher).. well this is what their lives were really like - the same as when i was there.
by the time it got to the end, all was left was chicken backs.
I did a two week stint in Bethel to try it out before I signed up for full time. GLAD I did! I came home not wanting to ever do that again.

I think the society is following the Biblical example of Samuel. Didn't he choose to never marry and to be a priest when he was 10 years old?
besides almost getting mugged a couple of times.
the closest, i came to getting hurt while at bethel was in the summer in 1972, at the allentown pa district convention.
i think its name was "the divine endurance" .
Why didn't Superman save Jimmy Olsen?
Come on it's been more than 30 years. I guess I am the only one who noticed the connection.
we moved a couple of days ago to a totally new area.
the cat we had seemed to be getting used to the new place, though she was hiding alot.
she would burrow herself under the sofa cushions or under our blankets.
Looks like it's time to call.........ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE! Alrighty then...
i wanted to dedicate this posts to just talking about the emotional scars we all have had or maybe still have.
was there a gap of time between you thinking you didn't want to continue and actually, consciously, deciding to no longer continue as on of jws?
it's amazing to me the strong hold this religion puts on you.
I am in that process right now. I still believe the teachings...Luckily I don't have any family in the org. All I have is two really good friends. The brothers USED to eat at my restaurant all the time until I quit going. Now they don't return. Some love... I can't stand them now. I still have a few friends on FB though. They don't write me either. The worldly ones do all the time. I guess I was a different witness...
I still fornicated then I would repent and have private reproof...I did this a few times. I still watched Friday the 13th movies. Love em. Then I would feel guilty and sell them. Then 5 months later I would want to see them again and buy them up. I did that 8 times. Finally this year I decided to hold onto them. I also cuss in traffic. Have been doing it for years. Always felt God was going to kill me anyway but I was trying. I went to all meetings and in service. I have given it all up now. Am avoiding the Elders by saying I am going to another hall....NOW they are asking me for the PO's number etc. I am going to ignore that email until he emails again. I have a way out of them stalking me though...My wife is not in the truth. So I tell them she doesn't like it when they come by. It has worked so far.
my eldest son (40) and his jw mom (in here 60,s) can not have a. decent conversation before he storm off in anger.
all famlies have their problems, we are no different.
but for years.
Mocha, Sometimes it is necessary to cut out evil from your life. Cut all ties with her. DF her. I did mine and am happier for it.
