It is so obviously a lie......now
by snare&racket inonce the spell is broken, one you take a deep fresh breath outisde of the watchtower camp, the amazingly obvious realisation becomes clear.... of course this is a lie, of course this is ridiculous!
you find you have memories of really believing the claims and promises, but it seems like another life, another experience.
it seems so incredibly false once you leave and it is very difficult to belive you even once accepted it!

Today's wt study! Notice the faults?
by stuckinarut2 indid we all notice the way in which this weeks wt study (how to maintain a positive viewpoint) was all about keeping the flock positive even if they feel they are not doing enough in 'service'?.
the irony is that the very reason they feel stressed or worthless is because of the pressures the org puts on them to perform!!!.

The irony. Today's WT "study" almost made me cry.
Not because my heart was touched, but because I felt anger about how they try to milk everything out of a person, push them and make them feel guilty about not doing enough, and then in the same paragraph say that the number of hours of service does not matter.
Yeah, right. Fools.

Emergency relief fund for the Philippines. How will it work.
by joe134cd ini was just thinking it will be interesting to see how the wts emergency relief fund will operate in the philippines.
ok it worked well with the storm in florida, with cashing in on the insurance cheques.
sorry to generalize, but americans have the disposable income, and the insurance polices for things like this - a thing the wtbts finds very attractive.

A suggestion for Fading Dubs. STOP SINGING!!!
by DATA-DOG inwhether or not you realize it [ many of you do ], words have power.
think of the power of the human voice.
think of a beautiful song, or a symphony.

Oh my.. I thought I was the only one doing this.
It just came naturally to me when I learned more about TTATT.
Singing requires a conscious effort and my body would sort of shut down, letting me just stand, stare blankly at the lyrics, and sometimes mouth out the words for pretense. Lately I found myself not saying amen at the end of each prayer. Sometimes a brother leads a prayer with a general tone and I just imagine I am praying to the God I prayed to when I was a child, not the god of the JWs.
@wallsofjericho: I guess you perfectly described the stages of "spiritual weakness".. I think the uberdubs have already singled me out by this time.
