it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!
-----> Stumbleline ... I am so sorry that happened to you.
I have read other people's JC, and they more or less say the same thing.
Personally, I would like to hear from Elder's if they sat in on JC's and heard other Elder's asking such deep and unnecessary probing questions.
There is no reason for this.
Does this mean there is a percentage of Elder's that are perverts?

BBQing steak on a stake on your patio would your vegetarian neighbors think the aroma in the air stank?

Shirley called out "Harry, did you go into the stinky old basement?"
Harry said, "That place was hairy with spiders. I kid you not."
Frank said, "Surely then you did not go, spiders tend to scare you so."
To be frank with you, I don't know what to do.

As he opened the cellar door,
The fusty, dank smell of decay filled his lungs.
His only thought was to run out into the hot sunshine and take in great gutsy, lusty gulps of fresh air.
But instead, he was transfixed by the sight he saw.

Up on the side of the mountain, there was so much destruction of the old forest trees, but it was needed for the new construction of a whole new tract of homes. All of the new homes had heated bathroom floors and heated towel bars. They also featured induction cooking stoves.

i use to hate when people who made goodbye posts on message boards.
why would they think that just because you no longer post on a chevy truck forum or a los angeles lakers forum the world would crumble around those still left there.
this place is definitely different.
(No longer) Confused and Alone,
I've enjoyed your posts. lol
Thank you for the opportunity we all had to get to know you.
(((Hugs))) from me and mine, to you and yours!

last sunday my wife and i went walking in the cheviot hills in the beautiful northumberland national park not far from our home.
we have walked a lot of the cheviots in recent months and intend to get around a lot more over the summer.. this week we decided to go up a few of the smaller hills in the north of the park so we headed for a peak known as yeavering bell.
it was used as a hill fort since the iron age.
Cofty , I can't imagine living in an area of such beauty and history as you. No matter where you look, something "happened' there.
You live really close to where the Battle of Flodden was. Since
you are a local do you call it that or the Battle of Branxton?
Last Sept was their 500th anniversary of the battle where King James lV of Scotland died , along with so many noble heads of families.
Have you seen what is left of the arch of the old medieval church said to have been where King James lV body was laid after this epic battle?
In the area you live, are the school children taught about their ancient history? Are there local family's who can trace their heritage a long way back?
Are you aware if there are any Summer Solstice activities coming up in the area?
Your area looks so peaceful belying all the battles and fighting that has gone on in that area, in the ancient past.

no one really expects 'perfection' of their fellow humans, even of those in high station.
our past president, bill clinton certainly demonstrated that men in high station can and do give into acts that are not accepted by the public at large.
likewise, i doubt anyone expects that joseph rutherford would be perfect, but we would expect that as a human, he had his ways.. what about "true" spiritual leaders?
Here is some info about Rutherford I did not know.
