New brochure about donations.
by Ray Frankz inin this midweek meeting the local needs was a booooring speech about the new brochure on donations.
the wt must think the jws are dying to know how to give their money.. well, it's not new this is disgusting but this time, after i ve been slightly hinting people here and there for a year about the 'abnormal request of money' and remind them that 'the faithful slave wasn't like that until some time ago', this time i saw their faces.
they did get bothered with that talk.

They would just need to create a members section of the website and charge for subscription. JWs love their special info it what makes them special, I could see them going for that.

Absolutely, it's a very Orwellian religion. Cedars has pointed out several instances now of ommissions and alterations some of his vids. Couldn't tell what they were and what vids though sorry.

Things you didn't expect to like...
by sparrowdown instuff you never expected you would do or enjoy doing as a non-witness.... researching - always thought i hated study and reading turns out it was just wt literature i hated studying and reading.
having political opinions and just having opinons and beliefs that are not set in stone and that i am free to assess, review and adjust as i become more aware of imformation .
droping the f-bomb every now and again to make a point feels surprisingly good but that may just be post-religious rebellion that wears off... eventually.

Jwundubbed and Dubstepped - yes, I'm amazed at how talking to people is not half as tedious or scary as it used to be when I felt obligated to push past my anxiety and talk to anyone and everyone about the troof. I used to see people in the supermarket and know who they were, where they lived and what they believed all from meeting them in FS - very awkward and cringey.
TD and Vidiot - I too have been exploring all sorts of genres of music I never thought I would like so no judgement here it's good to broaden our horizons. TD your wife sounds like me, catching up with tv series WT would never have approved of. When I first started waking up I started binge watching American Horror Story and absolutely felt like a naughty kid in the middle of the night scared but loving every minute of it!
PS Vidiot - love Acka Dacka (ACDC)!

76 Year Old JW Woman Attacked by Pit Bull While Out in Service ... "Lost a large amount of blood"

Unfortunately irresponsible idiot dog owners are everywhere. The last congregation I attended I was with a fs group on three seperate occasions of incidences where elderly JWs were bitten by a dog. Two sisters and one couple where both husband and wife were injured. D2D work for any reason carries the risk of dog attack. So does just walking down the street or going to a park if dogs are not under control.

Scartchme - you're right, dude you were never meant to be a JW - lucky you!
Dissedby E - hey you go on or off however you like, just glad you decided to join the conversation - welcome.

Motherly Love, that "Unbreakable Bond"
by Simon inmy father died a couple of months ago.
he'd been ill for some time and had many health scares and heart troubles over the years but always managed to keep on going.
then one time he didn't.. i'm glad i got to know him again and spend some more time with him after so many years missed because of the wts but those years will always be lost forever.

I can put up with shunning from pretty much everyone but it cuts like a hot knife when it's a parent or for kids - a grandparents. How do you explain to children why Grandma hates us?
The psycho-religio mind virus WT installs in people's brains is pretty damn good to be able to bypass the natural maternal instinct to love and protect so effectively in otherwise "normal" people.
Truly evil what WT and cults like it do to family.
