As I read all the arguments down below I kept wanting them to discuss something I knew about. I don't know much so maybe that would be asking for a very limited conversation. I do know a few things. Not opinions, but experience.
I know I read a book by Russell at my aunts in Texas in which he measured time by steps in a pyramid and said it corresponded with Bible events and predictions.
I know when I tried to find support for a seven thousand year day as I was being taught, it wasn't to be found in the bible.
I know when I asked about it my elders at first tried to answer then got upset with me for not accepting what they said and continuing to want to see proof on it from the Bible.
I know that I lost all of my Kingdom Hall buddies when I quit going. Proverbs 17:17 says "A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress." I know I didn't have any friends like that in the "truth" but do now that I am out.
I know that when my cousin was df'd for, I guess non-attendance and puttin up christmas lights, all of my family except me quit talking to him.
I know that I was told the King of the North was Russia/USSR and that they were going to push through the King of the South, USA. I had a little trouble believing that one, and kept thinking, it will be hard not to grab my gun and head their way if they ever land in Mobile or anywhere else I could get to. I had a little problem with nationalism.
I know I was told that the end was coming in '75 and that the door of the Ark was closing.
I know that when I asked my daughter about the 7000 year creative day she tried to df me. Never answered the question by the way. Just tried to cut me out because I had turned on Jehovah by asking it!
I know that same daughter lives an hour away and I never see her and can't talk to her now. No grounds needed, no sin on my part except the question showed me to be against Jehovah/org.
I know when I read Crisis of Conscience my eyes were really opened to just how the GB does operate, and it made me want to go to New York real bad for the first time in my life.
I know that the loves you should always be able to count on, can't be counted on if they are Jehovah's Witnesses. Moms, Dads, sisters, brothers, children, and even wives will stick that watchtower shaped dagger right in your heart, from the back of course.
And then brag about it to other witnesses, as the grandmother at wit.net was the other day on not having spoken to her daughter or grandaughter, even though they had come to an assembley thinking she would speak to them there. She showed them, by Jehovah, what love really is.
There are a few more I knows, but I feel nauseated.
I know I am sick of these phoney christians who have the real love in them sucked out by the parasites in Brooklyn and replaced with liquid self-rightousness. No warm blood in them anyway, forget the transfusions unless you have the same type of hypocrite nearby.
I know this post is over. Good night.
