  i've made a few posts here already so i thought i'd introduce myself.

  i'm an ex-jw from cheltenham pittville (uk) congregation.

  i've been free and clear for a few years now so i'm through the anger phase and in the happily getting on with my life phase.

  i'm a 17 year old from scotland.

  can i just say this site is absolutely brilliant.

  finally found people with open minds and free thought that doesn't just consist of "well the wt told me this so it must be right".. my story is that i'm just like any other child of a jw...brought up into a life of indoctrination where "the world's" thinking is automatically wrong.. that is until i was 14 - a light turned on in my head.

  the insanity of Sam herds talks at the convention

  by purrpurr in

  i've picked up two that stood out to me but i'm sure others will have noticed more:.

  he gave an illustration about fearing god and he said it is like a wife who has spent all day preparing the evening meal for her husband and she hears him come home and perhaps she is trembling a bit out of fear that he might not like the meal she has cooked for him....!!!!!!!!????.

  the other was about verbal abuse and how it should not be used but rather than site the effect it has or the forms it can take he said that we shouldn't call each other " dumb dumb" or "knuckle head" .

  Conversation with 4 elders: A study in smear tactics.

  by problemaddict in

  2. beliefs

  bucket shop bill has a thread in which they are "counseled" for something, that ends up not even being true.

  instead of the elder who made the accusation apologizing to them, they are made to feel like they should appreciate his overexuberence.. it struck me that this is a common tactic.

  here is a story of my own.

  the letter has appeared at last - just for uk.

  it is a money grab for the new bethel which has been approved.

  there is a video to be shown - just watched it - brief summary of uk bethels, why current one is too small, why we need money to build a new one.

  Smiling at a Disfellowshipped JW instead of Completely Ignoring him

  i was driving our car going to our assigned territory for our sunday field minsitry (was with jw 2 sisters) when i saw a disfellowshipped jw riding his motorcycle heading towards us.

  the guy was df'd around 2 months ago only (won't delve much on his case).

  approximately about 10 meters, we saw him smile.

  Devil's advocate here, I read an account where a df'd person said they hated it when people tried to smile or talk to them, as they were desperately trying to be reinstated and didn't want ANYTHING to hinder that. Being seen talking to a member of the congregation could've shown a contemptuous attitude for the df'ing arrangement.

  jus' sayin'.

  If you're not bothered about the outcome, just say there's some stuff you don't agree with, if he presses you then pick a subject you're confident to talk about. You may help him. Mist likely you'll just scare him off, but worth a try if you don't mind not seeing him/them anymore.

  I'm presuming you're not baptised. I've just realised this is a big presumption. Ignore me, others will give good advice!

  Plenty of interracial couples here in the UK, I must say that racism is NOT something I've ever come across here among the J dubs, but I've friends in America that say differently. Not in the North.

  Possible, but likely?

  They may be megalomaniac controllers but I don't think they're stupid enough to risk doing something that could get them in legal trouble. Not while they've got their eight million strong army of snitchers at their disposal..
