  Waking up can be a scary time

  by Leopold theseconed in

  2. experiences

  as a person that has recently come to terms with the reality that the truth is not really the truth .

  does anyone else remember the feeling when they realized things were just not true.

  it’s wierd all the years i spent preaching i never really considered what it must have felt like to have two people at your door trying to convince you that your religion of birth was a lie.

  My awakeing was my judicial comittee i believed the elders where guided by god when they "prayfully considered" things and when i heard them spout lies about me i knew it was not the case right there and then. For me i didnt feel much other then anger. And if im being honest, Violent.

  Remember The Green Song Books

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  then new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .

  thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.

  i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.

  Not even a second name? No credentials, no insight to what its about.

  I imagine response levels will be low. Can you supply more information on who "Charlie" is and what he is planning on doing? Further info may help.

  It's time

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  we got a call from close jw family, that it is now time to visit the kingdom hall again because armagedon is a question of a few months.

  now it will happen in a very close time, the brothers say so, was the message.. i had earlier the feeling that jw's think the time has arrived because what they say and what they do, work like mad men with their chart every weekend.. so the expetations are high.. gorby's wife replied "how do you know, you should not know day and hour".

  stay alert was the reaction.. so sad and so stupid.. g. .

  March 2004 disfellowshipped a year later.

  Haysbridge assembly hall is the venue.

  I was so excited. I thought as i came out of the water I was going to feel the holy spirit and a new found connection with Jehovah.

  I came out of the water extremley underwhelmed.

  Just peeking in for a bit...

  by Jidders in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i rather apprehensively would like to say hello.. i've been raised somewhat in the truth,one of my parents is rather rather strong in the beliefs but could honestly be considered pomi with how active they are and their side of the family comes from a line of witnesses, the other parent was but faded a long time ago.

  as such i was taught quite a bit of jw teachings between family and off and on again bible studies.

  recently i had a serious emotional break down over a few months after said pomi parent had advised me that they would not attend my wedding should that day come (i also had recieved a text from my bible teacher i hadnt heard from in a year or two giving a scripture) and it sorta all sank on me that my activity over the last few years was not really jw material.
