Any sins you got away with?
by fade_away ini was reading a thread on here that got me thinking.. what is the purpose of confession if not another method of mind control?
back in ancient israel, confession was just this thing you did if you were a good jew.
just like observing sabbath, fasting.. you get the point.

Another JW chain e-mail...Damn these are annoying!
by fade_away ini received a very interesting email a few minutes ago... you may have already seen it but i thought i'd forward it anyway.
it made me think of how blessed we are by jehovah to see with our own eyes the fulfillment of many prophesies which increase our faith in him and in our king christ.
on a personal note, it sent chills down my spine because it's not everyday i get impacted by something like this.... .

Happiness after almost a year!
by fade_away inthat book: "the secret of family happiness" is missing the part that teaches you to live happy with your family.
"but if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned.
but those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and i want to spare you this.".

I just discovered something!
by fade_away inwhen i was a witness, my friends and i used to make hilarious parody videos about everything.
titanic, jackass, 24, and our own religion: jehovah's witnesses.
all of which got us all in trouble with the elders.

My friend is a zombie!!!!
by fade_away inok so my friend is an un-baptized jw who is in love with a baptized jw.
he's going through all the drama of being in love with a jw.
i keep telling him that if he gets baptized, it should be coming from his heart and love for jehovah, not his love for some girl.

The tables have turned
by fade_away ini remember when i was the one on the doorstep knocking on a house full of different noises when suddenly the house goes into a dead silence and the curtains move a bit.
we always whispered to each other "i know they're home, i heard them" and "let's see if they answer the door to jehovah on his day of wrekoning".....which makes no sense, but whatever.. today early in the afternoon my wife and i found ourselves on the other side of the door when we heard a knock from jws we know.
i paused the movie we were watching and made my way to the peep hole.

Did you fake a prayer at the dinner table?
by fade_away ini was terrible at prayers.
it was hard for me to talk to someone i can't see or hear.
everyone else put their heads down at the dinner table so i needed to do the same or i'll look suspicious.

What drove you? Love or Fear?
by fade_away inthis has probably been discussed here before, but i'm new so sue me.. i think the religion of jehovah's witnesses has been an amazing but tragic social experiment proving that the mind is most vulnerable to brainwashing when it's in an unhealthy state.
it seems to attract the bipolar, schizophrenic, depressive, and the paranoid.
it preys on negative emotions like sorrow and fear.
