I hates 'em, I HATES 'EM, I REALLY HATES 'EM
by Grunt ini really do hate them.. every now and then it does me good to make my views on the cult known as jehovah's witnesses known.
i didn't come to this view slowly or rashly, but over a period of some thirty years or more.
when i think of the futures i have seen shredded, the hypocrites i have seen looking down their twisted noses from the bottom of a pit while they thought they were on a pedestal of righteousness, the children i have seen tortured over issues they needn't have faced, the couples i have seen turn on one another and break apart over this phoney "religion", the children i have seen turn on their parents, brothers and sisters, the selfish things i have seen charlatans posing as christians do, the ignorance of the bible i have seen expounded with the tones and knowing looks of superiority, the tears i have seen shed by caring puppet-people trying to serve god honestly but being forced to do uncaring things by the strings pulled in new york, well....... have i mentioned i hates'em!!!!!!!!.

Flashbulbs
by RubaDub incan someone explain the paranoia that exists regarding flashbulbs at the assemblies ???.
i mean, it's not like we have never seen them before and they would draw our attention away from something.
if anything, when you see a lot of flashing lights, it draws attention to the person or event, not to the cameras.

WHAT DID YOU MISS OUT ON WHEN IN THE BORG
by nightwarrior inwe as a family allways wanted a family pet as in (dog ) but as the ministry loomed every weekend ,as well as the meetings we decided that it would be to much trouble ,subconciously the influence came from other members in the congregation ,which in turn came from the elders in turn from the bethel ,allways sprouting on about the ministry first ,you never had time for anything elsemow ,yes a dog would be to much trouble,but now,for the past two /half years my younger children are enjoying the companionship of an animal in the house,as well as 2 cats which we have had for past eight years,.
did you find time for animals.. what did you miss out on ,allso for past 14 years we have had different caravans and motor homes ,.
what did you miss out on when in the borg ,and how did it affect you.

SPIRITUALY & EMOTIONALLY ABUSED
by nightwarrior inall the posts i have read and digested from the board leave myself feeling perplexed,moved with pity and still wanting something more ,both myself and wife are hungry people as regards the truth,i recall that the ancient cristians used to hide away from the roman army within the catcoombs , they sought safety security & solace ,i feel that this site has given evryone the same provision,as the early christians had, yet some just brouse the experiences within , and move on without contributing therfore most of the commited people here still leave ourselves exposed as we willingly post our experiences on the board ,looking into the heart and soul of your fellow man is indeed a privelage,given the freedom by the person posting,.
there still seems to be something missing within some postings, initialy you want revenge for all the hurt and harm one suffers at the hands of the borg ,then you feel the need to search for truth ,as the internet opens up different ways for the truth to be revealed,which opens up more discussions and thoughts ,to everyone.
my main point in life now is to know that i am not lost, that i dont need man to direct myself to god ,the only thing i need to keep in front of myself is that ,if armageddon does come it doesnot really matter,due to the fact that,i have come to the knowledge of freedom that no matter what i do ime still going to die wether i do much or little,the truth will be revealed either at my death or perhapps later ,you cant buy gods favour,most people want to be saved or be part of the great crowd,me ime happy just living for to/day, what transpires from here who knows, .
