blondie: Agree "the present is the only place we live".
What I don't understand is that 99% of you feel the same, it
was a miserable time. Why would any sane person that was
raised in the borg turn around and do the same to their children.
Most kids have fun memories growing up, why would you subject your
child to that. It not is if things change in the borg, it became worst.
You have generation of gang members, in some cases it is the grandfather,
father and son. What do you get out it, death and prison.
Young JW, wake up. What was good for us may not be that way for you.
The old saying, what's good enough for mom and dad is good enough for me.
I know young kids that was beaten mercilessly because that was the way of
the truth, today they are still in the borg raising their children.

truthseeker100: "they left and cleaned a park". What the hell was that about?
ucantnome: why was the 70's the best for you?
Finkelstein: my first assembly in 1971 I recall was 4 days, seven days holy
sh---t.
ucanthome: 8 days, did you cover the whole bible word for word.
Bung bill:"mad people and of mad times" It was that bad?
If it was so bad in that time, what are the young today enduring..
Ding: "Stay alive till 75!" I think we made it.

Badly written cofty, LOL. A complement, your experience has help
others not in a negative way.

Crazyguy: "lets be blunt", I tried offsetting the activities with my kids that
they felt they were missing. Early 70's we (other brothers) would rent a gym
for the young boys, we planned fishing trips , beach parties, camping trips and
we even had football games. That's the sad part, it wasn't enough.
Outlaw: "welcome to the Club". LOL
Jwdaughter: Thank goodness your dad had his head on straight, just think
if he was a JW elder.
Cofty: You have help so many here in their struggles. Your negative effect in
a way have helped others. From your comments you seemed to come out it
in good shape.
Blues Brother: My kids said the same thing., it wasn't so bad until after 1975
the cult raised it ugly head.
life is to short: You are 50 years old, don't say you will never be who you could
have been. I'm 68, you can still do it you are still young. I wish I could be
50 again.
Kanon: "now is not the time to listen to Jesus", true.
Yes, I was a elder in 1975 and I know what was being said.We will never
see the 80's..
Finkelstein: "why would you say you are sorry"
I feel so stupid for raising my kids in that cult. I was told by all my worldly friends
and family members, you know something is not right with those JW's...
was life that bad for you?
we are really sorry...
has the new june 2015 watchtower finally done away with 7000 year creative days?
the box the bible and proven scientific facts.
genesis chapter 1 uses the term day to set out the stages in the preparation of the earth for life in all its diverse forms.
So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. Maybe the evening
lasted lasted thousand of years, the sun took a break for thousands of
years and then morning came.. Maybe in the creative days God lost track
of time, remember he didn't have a watch.
i was in conversation a few weeks back with a jw i have known for at least four decades.
most of it was catching up on family stuff, he has loads of kids, some have married and produced sprogs since i left.
all news to me.. i demolished a couple of his fatuous arguments, and then he decided to scuttle away, throwing this over his shoulder as he went :.
I love it when they tell you, your life without Jehovah will be pure hell.
Your morals will go down the tubes. First of all I want to respect
myself, that's why I left. Humans invented morality as a set of rules
to live in society. JW as a whole have become an immoral force, most
can't stomach it anymore.

You folks that are still attending what are they teaching these days, ask
one on the elders.
