Congregation members too old or too young for you?
by JH in.
were there enough people in your age/group or did you have to hang around with much older or much younger than you?
i had that problem in my congregation... a few were my age, but they were married, so we weren't often together.. did you feel isolated in your congregation because of age difference or because you were single?.

Letter of thanks to the GOVERNING BODY
by Fruitcake indear beloved governing body members at bethel .
i wanted to thank you for the fine job you all have been doing,,,,,,,you know, like dropping crumbs off the table to feed us your spiritual table scraps, and beating us, bearing us down with heavy loads, so many rules and regulations that nobody can follow...... .
you all look nice in your suits and ties, reminds me of how fine the pharisses dressed with their long fringed garments.

Did the movie Matrix remind you of the Borg
by Fruitcake ini am going to rewatch the movie matrix, because a member of this board said that it reminded him of the watchtower, and how it showed the wt to be a controlling entity that brainwashed its meek followers while others saw through the facade and fought against it.. the movie stigmata, about the catholic church, reminded me of the watchtower also...... maybe jehovah is using movies to speak to us, especially through r rated movies that they so warned us against..(or maybe i'm a fruitcake).
my friend elumn8 and i are watching a bunch of r rated movies now that we broke away, and we think we are learning something!
hurray...

Do you remember a CRUSH you had at the Kingdom Hall?
by Fruitcake ini remember mine... .
we were both studies, my friend and i, but she went to another congregation.
she would call me up on the phone, and tell me this crush she had on a young single elder in his thirties.. she would bake casseroles for him every week and he'd take them home.

WILL THE MODERN DAY PHARISEES PLEASE STAND?
by Fruitcake init is way too sad and prophetic that the governing body has to beat its fellow slaves... ... a lot more are claiming heavenly calling, so they {shut the doorway of the heavens so no one else may enter?
}matthew 23 :13
when jesus came to earth, the powerful pharisees wanted everyone else to think he was a loony, so they wanted him put to death to shut him up.

all you going to heaven
by petespal2002 ini am fascinated to know who left the wtbts simply because they felt they possessed the heavenly calling?
when and how did you feel the upward call, and how has it affected your life?

The Watchtowers Evil Slave?
by Fruitcake ini have enjoyed studying with a warm wonderful group of people called the dawn bible students.. they are everything the witnessness are not and they have much love and compassion between them, contrary to the coldness and harsh judgement of the borg.. .
they still read brother russell and his writings, they are the begining of the watchtower society, but became the dawn bible students when rutherford had taken over, and started the hierarchy, and structure of modern day witnesses.. .
the watchtower hates this small humble group of people and declares them the evil slave!

the Watchtowers Evil Slave?
by Fruitcake ini have with much satisfaction, enjoyed meeting the dawn bible students.....they are a warm, humble group of people who still read the books of brother russell.
they have indepth expressive bible studies, and publish two magazines, the dawn and the herald....... they dress casually at the study i went to, and they show lots of love, and support of eachother, unlike the watchtower.
yet they have accurate biblical understanding on the trinity, hellifire, etc.... the watchtower hates this humble group of people , and calls them the evil slave,, yet i think they are what the watchtower should of been today..they are a wonderful, warm group of people who love the bible.... please look them up under dawn bible students or look up www.heraldmag.org or write,,, the dawn 199 railroad ave. east rutherford nj 07073. they offer lots of comfort and support for those leaving the borg,,, and they have a lot of ex witnesses that have found a welcome family.
