I threw all of my bound volumes in the dumpster where they belong.
I tried to use the old WT magazines to start camp fires but when I did, you could hear a loud demonic screem from them "Noooooooooooo!".
when you were a witness, what did you do with your old watchtower (public/ study versions) and awake magazines?
i know for some throwing away a magazine is comparable to burning a quran.
i never threw them out!

the watchtower seems to have lost track of one of their favorite endtime players - the king of.
how could they let such an important component of their prophecies vanish.. .
growing up in the 50's and 60's i fully believed the watchtowers scheme for interpreting daniel.. and it was quite believable back then.
I like to ask Jdubs who is the current King of the North. The new and young ones have no idea what i'm talking about.
If Freddie was still alive, he wouldn't have a problem telling us who it is.
bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.
(psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.
(wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.
If only the world were full of atheists, it would be a much better world IMO.
i think it would not be much different than isis.
they would be happified to kill and cut off the heads of apostates.. when my jw parents would beat me, they would bring up that in the bible, jews could stone to death rebelious children.
i guess that was supposed to make me feel better about the beating.

please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.
i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.
i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".
I used to get a lot of crap for working out and taking care of myself.
"Body training is beneficial for little but spiritual training is beneficial for much" blah blah blah
I have also noticed that many elders dring like fish.
obviously i'm having ex cult issues, family still in and a wife that's all kokoo for cocopuffs as well as our marriage isn't good.
i would like to leave her, she has never been the kind of wife i wanted.
anyway the stress is getting to be to much, thinking about things all the time and its effecting my work as well as otherthings.
Dump the wife and get on with your life. Then you won't need the meds. Your not getting any younger.
i know this has been talked about in the past but im new here..
They create more atheists than any other religion.
i won't be lengthy on this.
i have been in the org for about 20yrs.
now & woke up about 2yrs ago.
Welcome!
during my last meeting i was approached to see if i would be willing to switch to the electronic version of the km/watchtower.
i thought to myself "i'm way ahead of you here, buddy.
been doing it for almost a year.
Elder's wife: "He is the head, but I'm the neck."
some souls here may feel i was a little harsh.
if so, i am deeply sorry.
i was abused by a handful right from the start, presumably on the basis of the avatar picture (and 2001 vintage).. when visiting dubland, i often find that others start fights with me - for whatever reason, and i provide quite a supply of them - and when it doesn't quite go the way they expected, they cry persecution.
Norm Hovland; Farkel = Doug Checketts (R.I.P.); AlanF = Alan Feuerbacher and dozens of other excellent researchers and writers like Amazing, COMF, Quotes etc
It was these early researchers and contributors as well as PB, JANH & FOCUS that greatly assisted in my escape from the WT cult. I owe a great deal of respect & gratitude to these early appostates. I often wonder what ever happened to AlanF & Amazing.
My objective was always and solely removing the Whore. With maximum prejudice.
I like your passion. let's kill the WT Whore! Anything short is just allowing the Whore to continue to swell her pockets while raping the gullible.
