  A troubling visit with a satisfying end.

  by Bonsai in

  2. experiences

  so, i've been out for 2 years now.

  just picked up and walked away from the wacky religion that tried to control every part of my life through fear and guilt.

  i've been wondering as the months go by what would happen when an elder finally showed up at my door and pressed the issue as to why i ceased all activity and then tried to reactivate me.

  You are in Japan?

  The cult seems to be in a slow decline there.

  Today the two elders did not appear to declare at prosecutor's citation

  today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the prosecutor's citation.

  they were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come.

  this attitude favors their culpability.

  In the mid-80's, I remember learning things in 9th grade earth science that refuted the 7000-year creative day. I'd lots of heated discussions with my father about this.

  Door to Door

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear my wife say to me " we are the only religion that does the will of god , and that is to preach door to door, and speak about gods kingdom" and in one sense she is correct, i know there are others that preach door to door, but then someone told me door to door, does not literally mean door to door in modern times.

  i was confused, has anyone ever heard of this before?

  Abolitionist Harriet Tubman will replace President Andrew Jackson on the US$20 bill

  by oppostate in

  1. social
  2. current

  "it’s official: secretary of the treasury jack lew has announced that abolitionist harriet tubman will replace president andrew jackson on the $20 bill.

  and, while jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one.. .

  "naturally there are many people who will complain about this decision, but since tubman’s legacy leading slaves to freedom through the underground railroad is beyond reproach, these critics will most likely turn to defending jackson.

  Frankly, I believe if anybody owned slaves or committed genocide against the native population, they should be off the currency. This would include Washington and Jefferson.

  I'd love to see Martin Luther King someday.

  Proclaimers Book claims anyone can leave the org

  was going through proclaimers book and found this little nugget on page 232. there is so much wrong with this paragraph that my head almost exploded when i read it.. however, i was thinking, perhaps those like me that are trying to fade away without "trouble", can use this in the case that an elder should start questioning with intent of escalating matters.

  I forgot where I read it, but it's called a Hobson's choice.

  His statement is classic doublethink.
  

  Everyone is a hero in their own mind.
  

  Dogmatic people are unlikely to think of themselves as such--otherwise they would change their behavior.

  "from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.

  I believe it's most optimal to move to a congregation where nobody knows you, outside the territory where you live, one preferably too busy to note your absence. That's what I did.

  Have your records arrived there? Once they do, take your exit!
