  A "believing" mate vs. "UNbelieving" mate

  by Terry in

  1. jw

  the scene is familiar.. a jehovah's witness family with one member who has awakened from the lie.. the split comes down to an interesting wrong terminology:.

  the context of the entire family is as a jehovah's witness family.. damage has already been done.

  the individuality was sucked out.

  Excellent reasoning Terry, even suspected murderers are entitled to a defence, or the right to remain silent.

  Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  jws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.

  it has something to do with the demons.

  another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

  JWs look down on sarcasm, apparently satan is quite a sarcastic bastard.

  Do GB members poop?

  do gb members poop?.

  the question arises because of the great similarities i see between jw land and n korea.

  for one thing, the information flow is the same in the two realms; its one way from the top down.

  ok so our dc was last week and we live about an hour and a half away from the meeting site.

  so earlier in the year i heard my wife mention something about staying near by in a hotel.

  now i'm thinking what the hell in a major city with several people shes going to have to get 2 rooms and the cost is going to be crazy high.

  Why do people that choose to go to DCs feel that everyone else has to pay for their choice?

  I really hate this cult.

  i talked to my brother today who is still a practicing jw (i've managed to fade) .

  we were talking and suddenly he asked me if i thought satan could read my mind.

  and he said "yeah i though the answer was yes and then i found out that satan cant read my mind".

  Goodbye JW net

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.

  i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.

  these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.

  I am sorry to see you go, you are a nice blend of intelligence, compassion, and humour.

  just the right ingredients to make an excellent Dr BTW. -(My favourite TV Dr being "Hawkeye" Pierce from M.A.S.H)

  Your story has no doubt inspired many to reach and dream higher and bigger.

  Well done , all the best, happy trails.

  by Ignoranceisbliss in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i think back on when i started losing faith in the borg it all becomes kinda fuzzy.

  even when i was 19, a pioneer an ms and the local golden boy i clearly remember lying about my field service time every month.

  if i really feared jehovah there's no way i would of done that.

  I feared "men" but never Jehovah.

  I aways believed the WT to be a really, really bad PR firm for God.

  what would a gb calender look like?.

  of course they may need to photoshop their faces on some fireman bodies, and.

  there isn't enough of them for every month of the year, but would they go the "full monty".

  Fading, Stopping Meetings, DA or DF'ing, Thoughts on Getting the Hell Out Of There

  by OnTheWayOut in

  so i read some threads about why someone remains a ministerial servant or elder, or why they are still active jw's.

  others are telling stories about how they cut back slowly, and some of them got removed as ms/elder/pioneer or whatever.

  yet others tell of how they just up and stopped going one day.
