Just wanted to share a music addition
by sosoconfused innot sure if anyone feels like me but one thing that was always lacking to me in the jw's was that the music did not move me in anyway accept maybe one or two songs.
however it was funny that solomon danced out of his clothes so he must have been jammin to something on his ipod.
but the other day i met a guy who is a rastafarian and we were talking about somethings and he told me our discussion reminded him of this song that he loved.

For the born-in/raised in, you ever get resentful upon seeing kids involved with organized sports?
by Theocratic Sedition inthis past saturday, i was watching the georgetown/syracuse game, and a nike commercial was played during one of the breaks.
i couldn't locate the exact commercial, but below is a variation of it that has scenes from the same one that aired on saturday.
man did i feel some heavy resentment towards the wt during and especially after the commercial aired.

I just had a thought that made me feel so much better about this fade...
by sosoconfused inthis is not monumental... i am sure all of you think it all the time.. but as a 3rd gen born-in ex-elder ex-pioneer ex-bethelite i spent so much time in this relion believing that for some reason that god, who loves all humans and created all things only wanted a few people to get knowledge of him - and this small group in america was his choice.. .
now as i said i am sure 99% of you probably came to that realization before and it is common sense, but the very fact that as a grown man i never really thought about this for more than 15 seconds.
the whole idea is just ridiculous and freaking stupid.

The Watchtower Study At A Glance. What's "Christian Activity"?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia injanuary 13, 213 magazine focus is avoding anything that could lessen your "christian activity".
what is christian activity used in every other paragraph?
witnesses are told in a subtle way, if their jobs are high paying they probably are not doing things jehovah's ways.

SoCF chapter 17 ...
by sosoconfused ini think this passage sums things up for me in a way that my own words never could.
as i started my exodus and began to see how we were all forced to fit into this wierd bubble of conformity - i began to get ill and feel that anything i did or wanted outside of the rank and file view was just evil.... .
but these words as i read them sum things up in a way i think most people looking at leaving feel:.

by dissonance_resolved ini'm a born in, baptized as a young teenager, whole family is jw.
i just recently woke up after the new understanding of the fds was announced and it seemed to me to smack of power-grabbing.

nightmare about saran wrapped roast beef
by sosoconfused injust had a flashback of my mother forcing me to eat a rotten roast beef sandwich at the district convention.. i remember her telling me jehovah would not provide us with bad food and how ungrateful i was.
she literally told me if i wasted jehovahs provisions she would "slap my face off"..... for the love of god a roast beef sandwich sitting out in the hot yankee stadium sun all day... i really wonder what could cause someone to be so insane.

WT Society holds EXTREME Responsibility for 1975 and False Expectations
by flipper inhowever- many jw's who have come into the jw organization from like 1985 forward virtually may have no knowledge of the wt society's 1975 debacle and false predictions of the end times or armageddon predictions.
just like in in the book 1984 by george orwell the wt society has a way of not only erasing it's history so no newer witnesses will be aware of their false predictions, but also they are re-writing their history as if those false predictions never happened.. so for those of you here who may have never read or heard of how whipped up into an emotional frenzy witnesses were in the years just before 1975 by the wt society claiming the end was any day now- this threads for you.
to see the pressure that was put on jw's by the wt society to get rid of everything before " armageddon " .
