nagging doubt
by JNS2 inmy journey from lurker to poster was pretty quick.
all the posts are addicting to read, this is worse than being a couch potato.
i've been fortified to make a clean break & them the little inner voice starts talking back.

Ray Franz' Book
by JNS2 inhowdy, i'm new here.
21 years in & now about 1 year drifted away with no meetings for spiritual food other than the memorial.
so, in my brother's view i am either spiritually dead or the next thing to it.

Is this plausible?
by JNS2 ini assume a high percentage of those that post & read posts here are either still witnesses, disfellowshipped, disassociated, or just drifted away from the organization.
i'm sure many of us remember well the beliefs of the wts about the scenario leading up to armageddon & i wonder how many of us still think about that kind of thing.
i recall the idea that there would be a declaration of peace & security & every time i hear a political leader or un leader use terms like that my ears perk up.

Not enough proper investigation.
by JNS2 inlast night there was a true story about a man who killed his wife by setting up another man, getting him to come to their house.
he murdered both the wife & the other man.
the police immediately thought the guy was innocent so they closed the case right away.

Sing out the Kingdom songs!!!
by JNS2 inremember all the counsel to sing out the songs?
that's great except so many of us couldn't sing our way out of a paper bag.
i remember visiting a congregation in colo. & a sister was really following the counsel, top of her lungs.

The Garden of Eden
by JNS2 inwhen i started studying with the jws, the matter of whether the genesis account should be taken literally was glossed over quickly.
i think it was one of those "it'll be clearer later on, so let's continue with the study at hand".
it really was an issue for me even from the beginning because my work has always been in the science field.

Wasting PRECIOUS time !?!
by JNS2 ini was just feeling guilty wasting all this time reading these threads, new & old.
but then it occurred to me how much time i spent going to 5 meetings a week, going in field service, studying & preparing, getting dressed up & travelling back & forth to the kh for more than two decades.
i have a long way to go to catch up!!!.

Father's day
by JNS2 ini just wished my dad happy father's day for the first time since 1980, 23 years!
i'm so glad he's still around so i could do that, i might have missed the opportunity because he's had medical problems lately.
it felt strange, but also it felt like a good thing.
