My first "Wordly" Funeral...
by confuzcious inhey guys, .
i just attended my first "worldly" funeral since i've been out of "the truth" tm.. anyways, i thought it was nicely done.
it gave honor to the deceased, it drew me closer to jesus and it evoked emotions within me.. i'm just contrasting this to the jw funerals which always seems like way to peddle products rather than honor the dead.. no thoughts in particular for me, but anyone have any similar thoughts???.

Getting kicked out of a Hall Cleaning...
by confuzcious inhey guys,.
an experience just came to my mind and was wondering if anyone else had experiences of bizarre restrictions.... anyway, i was just publicly reproved and was on restriction so i wasn't allowed to comment.
ok, fine.... well, the congregation was having it's big memorial cleaning day, but i decided to go out in field service.

My life story... by Confuzcious.
by confuzcious inhello friends,.
since i'm not going to the memorial for the first time since i've became a witness, i wanted to post my "j dub" life story as a form of therapy.. i guess i'm posting this here, also, as sort of a refreshment for others who taken this road.
after much study, i've finally disassociated myself - in my heart at least.

BUSH - "No excuse, 'I was just following orders.'"
by confuzcious indid anyone else pick up on bush's quote?.
"no excuse that i was just following orders..." (to the iraqi army).
i thought that was interesting since the parallel is that if anyone (elder, organization, watchtower) says anything contrary to the bible, we can't use that excuse either.

Where two or more gathered???
by confuzcious inhey guys,.
the other day, scully had a great post about "you will positively not die.
" i don't know where it is, but if you read it it was good.. anyway, likewise, here's something that sparked my thinking.... i've been told by elders, etc, that when you go into a judicial meeting or the elders have a meeting about appointents that the decision they made was "from jehovah.".

Diminished Morality as Proof???
by confuzcious intoday a couple of elders came by and told me that "diminished morality" is proof that those who leave the truth have lost jehovah's favor.
that is, when they were in the truth, they were all chaste, etc.
but now that they are out of the truth that they don't hold the same high standards of morality.
