when you were a jw, how did you imagine armageddon would be like?

did you imagine it would be short, long?

i remember some saying that they would live in beautiful houses that god spared, just for them.

why exactly are they so bad?

are they afraid that a true orchestral and choral piece will glorify god too much?

btw, can you think of any other songs that kingdom melodies sound like?

Opinions on drugs?

while i was in the 'truth' i and a few of my peers were curious about the effects of certain drugs.

as a teenager during the rave scene of the late 80's early 90's many of the 'worldly' kids were doing ecstasy, smoking weed and becoming heavily involved in the drugs scene.. when i left the 'truth', this curiosity got the better of me and i started smoking weed and eventually tried ecstasy, speed and lsd.. while all drugs can be abused (and i have abused some) i am of the opinion that the use of drugs can be a good experience, if used moderately.. i was wondering whether others have experienced drugs since leaving the truth, i am interested to find out what opinions people have on them good or bad.. i also wondered whether people feel that cannabis should be legalised.

my opinion is that people in power shouldn't tell me what i can and can't do with my own body.

(Warning, rant enclosed) I feel like my brain is turning to mush.....

i'm sick of my job, sick of the city i'm living in, sick of most of the people who surround me daily.

like a lot of folks here, i was "encouraged to find education within jah's service" discouraged from seeking further education whilst being raised in the troof.

were it up to my father, i probably wouldn't have been permitted to attend regular public school, grades k through 12, much less college---education was that much maligned in my family.

.

i was 15, quite old compared to some.. a friends child has just got baptised at 13.....to think that she knows what she wants for the rest of her life at that age seems ludicrous.. so, who here got baptised at the youngest age?.

Are You Surpised By What You Don't Believe In Anymore?
by minimus in

.

jehovah's witnesses must "believe" whatever the watchtower bible & tract society publishes.

now that you aren't forced to accept beliefs that you might not have wholeheartedly endorsed, there must be many different things that you don't accept.....what comes to mind?

i need to vent, and what better place to vent?.

i can not get over the fact that my well-adjusted life, where i am happy, and to me, doing the right things, will always be seen as immoral by my family members and former friends.

the recent email exchange (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/56683/1.ashx <---yay drama) between myself and an ex best friend just makes these feelings come rushing back.
