Self Destructing. oh-oh.
by Captain Blithering inyo dudes.. .
i've been studying ttatt for nearly a year now, i'm pretty much convinced wt theology is a crock, but i can't just leave as i don't want to lose family, and i simply can't disappoint my elderly aging parent.. .
i'm prepared for the long game fade (could be a few years), but have been sowing seeds with the wifey little bit by little bit.

Cheers steve and black sheep, ive been doing this on and off with the missus, as opposed to telling her stuff, wording it in a question, 'I don't get this' , or 'how do you understand this' etc.. It all feels a little too slow though, I'm not seeing any fruitage yet, but I KNOW I've got to be more patient... I read experiences like crazy guys recently, things like that give me real hope!

ITS A MIRCALE,YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPEN TO ME.
by Crazyguy infirst i made love to my wife, maybe i'm better in bed then i thought, because about an hour after that my wife comes back in and i'm sitting at my desk and i asked her, "when the elders df me are you going to leave me, spiritual endangerment and all" she said, no, i don't feel endangered and we talked awhile and i talked about da ing and not sure what to do, then i shared with her a toned down version of the da letter that i posted and that led to her asking about my beliefs and understandings of who the great crowd and 144k, heaven and earthly hopes.
i was even able to tell her how they changed or distorted the meaning of the word naos to show the great crowd not in heaven.
i was able to show her some of the scriptures from the da letter, able to tell her a little about 1914 and how jesus did'nt invisably come in a presence, showing her scriptures on that and some more ttatt.

I hear you, that can get tricky when the two worlds meet occasionally!

Cheers Adam, you're quite right. My long term plan is VERY long though. It's testing my patience already! I'll control myself from now on, false alert everybody, nothing to see here.

Thanks gingerbread , of course you're right, but it does feel good ranting occasionally !
This is one of the things that galls me so much right now, that i cant talk with my pretty half about it. Not yet anyway..

Prayers that are heard. Fuel for a vehicle - YUP. Save us from death - NAH.
by Captain Blithering ini spoke to a ms the other day, trying to get his opinion on the wt we'd just studied at the meeting.
the paragraph where the co didn't know if he had enough money to afford gas for a trip, he prayed and went anyway, and someone donated the exact amount to cover his trip.. my question to the ms was - the wt clearly are saying jah answered that prayer, yet there were a couple dozen jw's sheltering in a kh in the philippines, undoubtedly praying, yet they all died in the hurricane.
how's that work, how can jah answer some prayers but not others?.

Oh oh...
Just gorn and done it AGAIN!!
Spent about an hour with two customers in their office having a good old whinge at the WT's expense!
Feels GOOD to get it off my chest and to help others realise that JW's aren't as benign as they appear. They even told me to work out a couple of 'witness-stumper' questions to ask them next time they knock on their doors..
SOMEBODY STOP MEEEEE!!
(no don't, I'm enjoying this!)
