  I just talked to a guy who was at bethel in the early 80's. He was DFed because his wife turned him in for being on a 1-900 phone line. He was listening to some women talking about sex....and why was he doing that?

  He got DFed for hearing some woman TALK about sex.....because his wife won't talk about sex or have sex with him...

  But the good news is she is a pioneer....so she can help others come into the "Truth."

  Can't you feel the love?....I guess that is the problem...some of the married ones CAN'T feel the love...or talk about it..

  Wait a minute......"This speech is SHOCKING.....who can hear it?"....as I put my hand over my ears..

  Thank God I can still read.

  Now remember friends these are God's hand picked appointed brothers.....They actually pray back in Bethel to see if these men should lead the poor flock.....

  This elders have no pride....no favoritism, and most of all speak for god. Plus they come from all walks of life.....With the best Qualifacations.....many are truck drivers.....janitors.....construction workers.

  How could they screw up?

  I'll never forget my ex-father inlaw, Elder Ben Reagan, Janitor from Newport R.I. This guy looked and acted like Gomer Plye.... He was the dumbest person I ever meet!

  He is on the phone with this poor black sister, that just got the shit beat out of her by her 300 lb. husband....and I swear to God this is what he said to her "You must have done something really wrong for him to have hit you....just have another beer and forget the whole thing!"....his answer for everything.

  Of course the JWs say....imperfect persons who make mistakes.....

  But remember there are NO mistakes in the organization...the "Light only gets brighter"

  feelings of guilt

  by confused and lost in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as some of you are aware i am in the early stages of doubting the wts as the only channel of truth.however i am assailed by feelings of guilt.am i being seduced by the words of disgruntled witnesses or ex-witnesses or am i truly doubting !

  !maybe some of you felt this way in the early stages of your "defection" from the wts.sometimes i feel as though i am rejecting god and his organization but other times i feel so strongly that the wts has misled me and is acting to control my "loyalty" by vieled threats of destruction at armageddon.you see prior to becoming a jw i had no religious affiliations.i knew nothing about the bible or god.so for 20 yrs i have only known watchtower teachings and un-learning 20yrs of this is making me so indesicive.am i doing the right thing or not ?

  my only solace is prayer.i have prayed to god to show me in some way what the truth really is.i must admit that these prayers have been the most heartfelt i have ever said.have others felt this way and if so how did they deal with it ?i would truly appreciate some feedback.

  Don't feel bad it took me 52 years to figure it out!

  Here a simple test for you. Go back to your KM stand at the back for a few minutes and go up and down the rows there, look at everyone who is sitting there...and ask yourself this question " Is this person look like a HAPPY person?"......If you look at their faces you will see the answer......and then ask the most important question.....are you a happy person seating there?......Of course they will tell you that your happiness is not important...

  After all they are NOT worshiping a happy God anyway ......They are worshipping a mad "pissed off" God who they think will be killing 999 people out of 1,000....soon.

  6 million Jws.... 6 Billion people on the earth....do the math my friend.
