  Is there any way around this? (Preaching when you don't believe)

  by venusinfauxfurs in

  2. beliefs

  i figure i can do more to wake friends and family up on the inside than the outside and i didn't come to that decision without a great deal of pain.

  i know it's not "the truth" but it isn't a bad life for me,and i still very much believe in god.

  the witnesses aren't right but neither are the mormons, the catholics, etc and i have other family devoted to both those faiths.

  Sitting Still at Meetings has Become an Impossibility

  by venusinfauxfurs in

  since i know the truth about jw, and still have to go to meetings for family reasons (and because i don't want to leave my friends, either) i get so sick in my chair in the hall.

  i can't pay attention, i can't sit still knowing it's all such a waste of time and a big fat lie.

  i get weird symptoms like: the feeling that i'm going to almost pass out, very sweaty or very cold, and weak legs though i'm sitting down, and the urge to get up and run away.

  Would the holy spirit appoint an elder this stupid? Not likely!

  you learn something new in the kingdom hall every week.... .

  i told an elder that i'm not going out in field service yet but god knows why that is and it's between him and i (translation: jehovahs witnesses are not the truth and it's a colossal waste of time) and i assume the elder took it to mean i want to do it but can't for some reason because he said "jehovah doesn't know that though.

  he has to see you out there in field service to know that you're serious.

  Best answer to "What prevents you from getting baptized?"

  the nosy elder at the congregation i attend until i can get out very soon (just quickly: born in, was headed towards unbaptized pub but changed my mind about that and baptism) pulled me aside and showed me the scripture about coming across the body of water and asking "what prevents me from getting baptized" and i really want a quick, preferably smart-ass reply the next time he puts me on the spot like that.. .

  .

  fire away!
