  it seems that instagram is the new thing.

  a lot of my friends use that now and prefer over facebook.

  in addition, there is the privacy issue..

  Yes I use it as much now as I did in the past. Which is not at all. Never got into the habit. I don't need to know about everything everyone is doing. Still Totally ADD

  The wt. Teaches Satan and his minions live in antique furniture and books. So don't buy anything that is not new except Smurfs, Harry Potter books and anything that the wt. Thinks is satanic. Also Satan is for the most part more powerful than God and the only thing we can do is pray and stay busy doing the wt. Bidding. Lol. Still Totally ADD

  49th Anniversary of my PAROLE from Federal prison

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. beliefs

  today is the 49th anniversaryof my parole from federal prison.

  in french, "parole" means 'word of honor'.in effect, a prisoner promises the authorities they will be honorable.. in 1967, i violated the u.s. military training and service act.about 25,000 draft age americans simply ran away to canada.i did not run.

  i stayed and gave my 'witness.".

  I remember visiting brothers in the federal prison in Springfield MO. I was 15 years old and my parents was preparing me for the same fate. I was scared to death about what my future was going to be. Terry I am so sorry what you went through but it does seem you made lemons into lemonade. I aways felt how unfair it was that those who ran to Canada to avoid the draft was pardon but those who stood up for their beliefs and paid the price was not. By the way I turned 18 in 1972 when I registered for the draft and a few months later the lottery came out and my lottery number was in the 350's. The war was winding down at the time so I went from a 1-A to a 1-H classification. I was never bother again.

  The cult sure but alot of us through hell for their publication business. I Wish you great success on your books. Still Totally ADD

  Welcome Alex. Maybe your book will be a good tool in helping my friends to understand how JW's think and act. Everytime my wife and me try to explain how witnesses think we usually get the deer in the headlights look. Good luck with your book and great to have you on board. Still Totally ADD

  WT rules about Adultry and forgiveness

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i hate the rule about if your mate cheats on you, and you have sex with them, you are not free to remarry because the sex means you forgave them and keeps you stuck with them!

  i personally disagree and think it’s so controlling that they think they can dictate what goes on behind closed doors between two consenting, legally married married people.

  and that they think they have the right to label what other people’s sex means.

  Makes sense on what you are saying but always remember this. It's a Cult. It's all about control. Still Totally ADD

  The older I get the more angry I become!

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i did some self-reflection today trying to determine why, with every passing day, i become angrier against the watchtower company.

  i am in my 70's and my health is failing.

  at first, i thought it was because "worldly" people couldn't care less about jdubs and the little world they live in even though the witlesses think that the earth revolves around them and their desert god who was originally worshipped by the cainites.

  Sour Grapes I will be turning 64 this June and I hear where you are coming from. I am now in the regret stage with a little anger throw in. I watch a movie a few weeks ago called "If you don't see your name in the obit have breakfast" or something like that. It truly lifted my spirits showing I still have a lot of life left. I learn from the movie having a positive attitude and keeping my mind and body active in doing something you enjoy is a big key to a long and healthy life. I encourage you to watch this movie. It's fun to watch and maybe it will relieve some of that anger.

  I look at it this way. The Borg took so much of our lives from us and it's our job or at least for me my job to prove to those still trap in the cult that leaving it didn't lead to a horrible life but to a happy and good life. Getting old sucks but as my wife always has told me though the years it beats the alternative. Lol. Take care. Still Totally ADD

  Back in the 90's in FL many Hall's that were being built and older Hall's being renovated they used vinyl wall covering for a finish look. Because of the high humidity it cause massive mold problems in many KH's. Lots of time and money was wasted because of no foresight in how vinyl wall covering was not a good idea for construction in FL. Still Totally ADD

  JWs and the Holocaust

  by Stealth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jws always like to highlight their persecution during the holocaust.

  while true, the chart below showing numbers of victims for jw was the lowest of all persecuted groups.

  even lower than spanish republicans.. im guessing there have been more victims due to the wt blood policy.

  Very true on what you say. I remember back in the 90's I visited the new Holocaust museum in St. Pete FL. They had a very nice section on JW's. But the numbers they was giving on how many JW's were in the camps was way off. They said millions of JW's was part of the Holocaust. I ask to talk to the curator of the museum. I let him know that number was wrong and told him it was more like 5,000 - 10,000 was part of the Holocaust and there wasn't even a million JW's in the world at that time. I can't remember the correct number but I wonder if this number has been inflated elsewhere.

  I think the women who took care of the SS children most likely did not try to convert them because of fear for their lives. We can only guess what was taking place with them but I do know if we have never gone through this situation we will never understand why they did what they did. Just like those who have loss a child due to no blood policy we will never fully understand their loss. Still Totally ADD
