Uh!oh! Serena - where to now?
by fulltimestudent inappearing among other things that waste my time on the web today, was this vanity fair cover featuring a naked pregnant serena.
surely evidence that she no longer sees herself as even a jw associate, what's more likely does not give a stuff what her fomer loving brothers and sisters may think.. .
more info on the vf web-site: http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/06/serena-williams-cover-story.

The headline should be "Thankyou Jehovah."

I think the internet provides something that the congregation doesn't and can't and that is a sense of connectedness. Connectedness to the wider world and the local community.
WT can't compete, their website is not interactive, they don't give a fuck what you think or feel where as you can always find someplace or someone on the internet to relate to. Even casual interactions on the internet are more satifying than real world interactions with the shallow brothers and sisters at the fake-ass KH or with cold would-kick-you-to-the-curb-in-a-heartbeat fake-ass, conditional JW family.

FFA - 4H - Conscious matter or not allowed?
by Jennifer Lehrer ini was baptized 4 years ago, i have 2 little girls who love their bunnies, so this year we reached out to 4h and started our own 4h group - this was after asking the elders for counsel.
none provided.
now after doing this for 3 months i am being brought before a judicial committee for neutrality.

My advice would be to take care of your family first and not WT with it's ridiculous myriad of hypocritical irrelevant rules.
They expect you to be loyal to an organization which has nothing to do with being loyal to your own family or to God.
Learn how to distiguish the difference because the org will only look after itself not you or your children.

Gog of Magog - Watchtower says it has two identities
by Listener inthe searcher started a topic addressing the gt, a comment from sparrowdown asked an interesting question -.
"...the political powers of satan's world will form a coalition..."that's the statement that interests me.

Coaliton of Nations sounds a bit globalist to me, but I spose they need to keep the cult lingo current-ish.
Meanwhile in other news armageddon will be the first Purge and after the thousand years will come the second Purge.

The only thing left to complete the transformation are hooded robes and the chant "for the greater good."
Anyone see the movie Hot Fuzz?

I Give Up!
by pale.emperor inim giving up guys.
i've reached the end of my patience and now i finally refuse to waste any more time on part-time witnesses.
i've text all of my active jw family members and told them to delete my number from their phone and never contact me again.

If they know where you stand on the JW thing and where you live or how to contact you let them come to terms with that in their own way and time.
IOW
If you love something set it free, if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't hunt it down and....oops I mean it never was.

What did NOT get you out?
by problemaddict 2 ini realize this is odd, but a "how you woke up" thread and the personal stories that are told which i know we all enjoy, made me think of this.
in helping my wife and a couple others get the ball rolling, i realized the thing that resonated with me, didn't even move the needle with them.
i wanted to rail on and on about blood, because that was my conduit to waking up, but for my wife it was about shunning.

What did NOT get me out?
The people who had doubts or were even awake and said nothing and did nothing.
