  Feel like I'm living a lie....

  by mochamint22 in

  it's been a while since i've posted on the forum but im needing to get how i'm feeling out of my head and out in the open.

  i don't know what's going on with me but sometimes i feel overwhelmingly sad and my eyes well up like i'm going to start crying.

  i'm not thinking about any one particular thing when this happens.

  Several ways you can leave the WT money when you die - No subtlety here folks

  by agonus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the latest kool-aid edition (november 15th), there's an insert on page 22 entitled "ways in which some choose to give".

  in this short (less than 2 page) article, the word "death" appears no less than 3, count 'em, 3 times.

  "payable on death", "transfer on death", and "bequest at death" are all mentioned.. .

  Review and Comments on the New Elders Book

  by MrDarkKnight in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently completed an exhaustive review of an unofficial copy of the new elders manual.

  my father, who is currently serving as an elder told me a friend of his in the service department told him it was on the internet so i eagerly looked for it and found it.

  yes, i know it was a violation of copyright, but while at bethel i made copies of many technical manuals which is also a copy of copyright so the wts hypocrisy does not concern me.. i was appointed as an elder the year the pay attention book (manual replaced by this one) was released so i have very good working knowledge of the old book and could compare the two books.

  Went to the DC today...

  by dontplaceliterature in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i caught the entire session today, and strangely, it was the first time i was able to stay completely alert for an entire dc program.

  i'm guessing the reason for that is that i was looking at the program with a critical eye for the first time in my life and was not being hypnotised by mind-numbing repitition (see steve hassen's combatting cult mind control).

  the program wasn't that bad.

  So what do ya'll think about the recent new light?

  by stillin9 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  you know, the thing they were talking about in the 2011 dc.

  it was about how the "toes" of daniel's image no longer represent all the individual governments that have come around in human history.

  and that the anglo-american world power is the last world power we'll see before the end of the system of things.

  2. beliefs

  so we had a 'special' visitor today in our hall, somebody from patterson, young fellow with a wife.

  off course i didn't catch that at first until he started name dropping in the first 5 minutes that he was from bethel .

  so he goes on rambling about how we live in the last days and blah-di-blah .

  I Did a Stupid Thing Recently

  by 30 years out in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  facebook has been a valuable tool for finding old friends and catching up on years lost making a living and pursuing our own visions of happiness.

  in one of my less inspired moments i decided to look up an old witness friend and roommate from my days in the church.

  he had never impressed me as being particularly strong in the faith so i was truly interested to find out what he had been up to for nearly 30 years and if he was still "in".. i located him through his sister's fb page and sent a message to his account stating who i was and that i would be very interested in hearing from him and catching up.
