and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .

Life is awesome though.....My only regret is all the amazing things I will never learn, all the discoveries that will happen after I am gone. We are living in the most wonderful time in all of human history.
I feel the same way, I have been learning so much this past year and have become aware of how so much more there is to learn. In about 150 years we have seen inside heating and cooling, telephones, flying the skies in huge airplanes, internet, organ transplants, anything the imagination can conjure up brought to life in movie theaters. I can only imagine what life will be like 200 years from now.

It's all so sad. ..... but why keep on living?
Because good surprises come when you least expect them.
The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.

I freaked out a bit when learning TTATT. It's been a couple of years, and I've gained some perspective.
Before calming down a bit, I would have panic attacks ( small ones ) where , "Omg!! I....AM....GOING....TO....DIE.." raced through my head. I would drink quite a bit, and lie in the fetal position, sometimes for hours.
Well its good to know I wasn't the only one going through that. Heck, i wasn't sure if I was finally losing it and I was about to change my residence.

It was a crazy feeling to realize that there is no life after death and no I'm not going to live forever. .... I chose my name crazyguy because of all these emotions.Would you believe the first time I saw your name, I had a strong feeling that's why you chose that name. It's CrAzY! -

If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?
by John Aquila inimagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.
they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.
persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.

If women were elders, it would change the whole structure of the organization - a structure that in its current form fosters the sexual exploitation of women.
I say "yes" - make women elders. And watch the rate of child sexual abuse drop. It is the lack of respect for women and children, combined with the sense of entitlement given to the men, that is responsible for the high rate of sexual abuse within the organization. The men are taught that women don't have the right to say no - women are seen as not having the right of consent and by extension, children have no rights, either.
Women have more power than they think.Remember Samson and Delilah? Who was smarter, who was more cunning? Who toppled the most powerful?
And if you don't agree, you can sleep on the couch tonight!!

maybe theres something in it and Jesus will come back, maybe he won't, either way waking up is making me realise
1. Better earn more cash and start saving
2. Better enjoy life now
I think that is one of the most important reasons why it is so important to wake up.

The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children
by minimus ini believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.
the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

In my immediate family, this religion dies when Dad goes.
I'm actually seeing this happen many times over. I was in about 40 years. Of the families I came in with, only two individuals have stayed. The rest, (about 40 families) of the children are out and living a normal life. They don't even attend the memorial.
And the children of the children will never become involved in this cult.

I now realise life is hopeless. I hate life. I can't wait to die but don't want to end it myself.
Hang in there my friend,
I think it's time to take a little break and enjoy a nice slice of pizza, a drink, and sit back and enjoy a nice scenery with some nice background music.

And you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner,
What went through you mind?
And when you realized that the thing you cherished the most, that is;
That you would be with you spouse forever, and with your children forever, and with your grandchildren, and with your great grandchildren, and with your parents, and their parents,
Had just been ripped out of your hands,
Did you break down and cry?
Did you feel like killing someone?
Did it take weeks to recover, or months, or years, or are you still recovering and see no end in sight?
