I mean you just always felt "Bad" for not doing more in the field service or at the meetings. Your a MS why can't you be an elder. Your a pubisher.... why can you pioneer?

Then the would always have some poor sister at the assembly married to some drunk unbeliever, who would beat the shit out of her, she would have 6 kids.....she was dying of cancer but she pioneered.....

The speaker would say "Well brothers and sisters if she can do it why can't we?"

I just isn't a "feel good" religion. If didn't feel bad....what was wrong with you?

The other side of death...

our earth is approx 4.5 billions years old our galaxy and universe approx 15 billion years old the life span of the universe is approx 1 trillion years and yet if we are lucky we will live 70-80 years not even an eye bat in the river of time...as an atheist i really don't know what is on the other side of death but something deep inside me tells me this is not it...what is beyond it i don't know.

are we here by chance, design or divine purpose and if so what is that purpose to live for such a short time just to die and transverse into another reality...makes you wonder...makes me wonder...

What if there is no such thing as death?

What if you are immortal spirit creature having a physical experience?

What if you made the choice to have this experience to learn some kind of lesson?.....to live out some kind of "Karma?"

What if the biggest illusion is...."that this is all there is?".........what if my friend?

Do I owe my life to the org?

the only reason i'm here and i exist is because of the jw org., my parents met in a hall.

is this your situation?.

if it weren't for that missionary couple out in dominican republic in the 50's that called on my grandma and if it weren't for the brother in the early 70's who called on my dad, my parents would have never met and i wouldn't be sitting here writing this post.. i just realized all of these years i thought i owed my life to god and his organization what i actually owed my life to was an organization that claimed to be god's channel.

Don't feel to bad my friend, the only reason I'm here is because a condom broke. It was "New Years eve" 1948. I was born Oct. 1, 1949 so do the math.

My truth is, I believe in reincaration so....on some level I picked my parents. Like maybe you did too.

Everything happens for a reason......you mission (if you choose to except) is to find out why you did.

thats right, about 2 weeks ago i confronted the po and told him i just could not do it anymore.. i genuinely have been under alot of pressure recently with my work so i used this as the pitch.

he was not happy but i received little resistance, which suited me.

i handed him my letter last week before i went on holiday.. i have to say it is a great weight off my shoulders, no book study, meetings for ministry, talks, public talks etc etc.. i will no doubt be the subject of local congregation gossip!

So my friend did you "step down" or step a side....or maybe you just stepped up.
