  But it's alright if we do it.

  by Lost in the fog in

  we were talking with a friend who is in a different area and they mentioned that their present kingdom hall building used to be a church before the brothers bought it cheaply and renovated it.

  "of course," john then said, "it'll be dedicated to jehovah after all the work is done so even if everyone in the community still call it the old church, we'll know it is jehovah’s place of worship.

  hadn't consciously thought about it until now, but isn't it hypocrisy to (re)dedicate a church and it becomes ok for the witnesses to use.

  Just so stupid or is it their God that is the stupid one. And what do they do when they sell the KH?

  Some churches will deconsecrate a church when they sell it but do JWs undedicate a K-hall when it's sold on after a congregation murge? Otherwise Jehovah hasn't left the building or has he? If they have no need to undedicate maybe the dedication wasn't all that necessary to begin with since God does not live in a building? Snake beginning to eat it's own tail at this point.

  Religion is soooo ridiculous.

  Sexist article about construction

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/women-in-construction/.

  it's all about women being trained to operate heavy equipment, like it's a miracle.

  they quote the male foreman, but don't tell you that only men are allowed to be foreman.

  Exactly, stuck.

  JW women: when we're not operating heavy equipment we're cleaning toilets, thanks GB and Jehovah.

  How were you 'outed' ??

  many of us here have been "outed" as ones who no longer believe that this is "the truth".. many didn't have the chance to do it in our own way, and in our own time, but rather someone "found out about our apostasy" and "reported" it to the spiritual police (elders).

  would you like to share your stories?.

  Yep a lovely quiet unassuming brother topped himself.

  They refused the funeral in the hall - of course they did! Blamed him for being so selfish then carried on like nothing happened. Heartless bastards!

  In true JW style I'm sure I've been "outed" as apostate via the gossip mill to everyone but me.

  I've never beed D-Effed never D-Assed myself never confessed to anything, never done anything or been witnessed doing anything that could be used against me, no one has ever asked to speak to me and yet...

  They treat me like I'm apostate. I'm a "do not call" now. I'm sure there are plenty of stories going round, I just couldn't tell you what any of them are.

  JWs are very very weird people.
