Turning My House in to A Ex-JW Gathering Church, Will it bug my JW Neighbors?

by BucketShopBill in

i am thinking of turning my house in to a ex-jw meeting place, getting bar, pool tables, ping-pong, foseball, pinball and kegs of beer on tap.

big screen singles pad for the local ex-jws to visit and hang out.

will this bug all the jws who live near by me, do they get weird around known apostates?.

BSB: im so sorry you are getting harassed. But do you think antagonizing them will help matters?

How about a no trespassing sign? Could you report them for harrassment?

Sipping our drinks at the track..part 2.". I didnt tell them anything," she said

by MissFit in

...as we were enjoying our weekly sunday "no meetings margaritas.. my friend and i have been meeting for lunch and margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol ??).

instead of going to meetings.. ( we discovered we could have lunch*margaritas* without the meeting first.).

my jw lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.. so she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me.

...As we were enjoying our weekly Sunday "No Meetings Margaritas."

My friend and I have been meeting for lunch and Margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol 😜)

instead of going to meetings.

My JW lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.

So she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me. This is a JW couple not elders.

Bless her sweet heart. She looked at me and took my hand and said" now Missy, I told them you probably were working because you have to work Saturdays sometimes (which is true).

I wasn't sure if you really wanted them to stop by & dont worry I didnt say anything about us having lunch together instead of going to the meeting."

She looks at me sternly. " and if you do talk to them, dont tell them either, watch what you say because they like to talk.

Besides its nobody's business."

😇I solemnly promised I would not reveal to anyone that we sip margaritas and have fun instead of attending the Sunday meeting.

😎(After all any sane person would understand a margarita at a track is much less stressful to the heart than a meeting with a bunch of busy bodies and gossips.)

I wonder if I should start wearing sunglasses and a trench coat? Lol.

BSB: it's none of their business who you associate with. They lost that power when you left.

Now if you want to have fun, just give them the same consideration you would to any of your neighbors.

Enjoy yourself and dont worry about what they will think. You are past that now.😨 Right??😉

The CO's are liars

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

today i visited another hall because my wife wanted to see some friend in this hall.. all was fine.

it was a 1pm meetting which was nice.... but.. it was co visit... ggrr.. that means boths talks i need to hear again in 2 weeks... the first one was unimpressive.... the second was sick!.

he said that we needed to imagine the new world... he said he wanted 11 children in the new world.... wait a minute...1 billion years + and only 11 children.. excuse me..coward!

MissFit

Htbwc: hey buddy, just take a deep breath, now exhale slowly. Repeat.

I know you are just venting. I hope that made you feel better.

In my experience most JWs really believe and have a hope of a paradise earth.

Instead of viewing the CO as a liar maybe it would help to think of him as mislead.

The hope of a paradise is what keeps most of them going.

I hope a time will come when you do not have to inflict this torture on yourself.

I know it took me along time to divest myself of the notion of a paradise earth and to appreciate the life I have now.

I understand your anger: I felt that way at a funeral service for my Father in law when the born again minister said God needed him in heaven. I had to excuse myself.

The point is every religion has some sort of false comfort but the ministers seem to believe it.

Now I know the paradise hope i was raised with is as much a false comfort as the hope the minister was preaching about.

Don't forget to breathe and go to your happy place.

Thanks for the link. I thought the website was interesting. I think he did a good job making his points without the JW feeling threatened. I recommend reading the next blog called jw pioneer eats crow.

Reflections on 1 year WT Free-breaking the chains...

by MissFit in

hi everyone.. i just realized that it has been over a year since i discovered this site and started to recognize i was shackled by invisible chains.

i am still in the process of chipping away on those chains.. i posted on another thread how these threads here are like little time capsules.

the moment, the emotions, the attitudes are all there frozen.. .

Apog: I am sorry that you feel distant from your family. I know exactly what you mean by health problems. I used to think my little JW sister was unique when it came to mysterious illnesses until I came to this board.

You are right many families experience strained relations some caused by religion and some caused by conflicting personalities.

I think mine are a little of both.

My oldest sister ( the scary one lol) was older when my mom converted (9 or 10).

She was a natural rebel and misfit as it was.

This was in the late 50s early 60's. My mom had her "out of wedlock" before mom met my dad.

Dad's family never approved of mom or my sis.

Then when my mom started studying with the JWs(JERKS is what my auto correct typed in lol

) my dads family really hit the roof. ( they were die hard Catholics. )

So my sis didnt fit in at the hall and her cousins gave her a hard time.

Then us girls came along.

So she has a big chip on her shoulder.

And she does blame JWs for a lot of her problems.

I do admire her. She had great survival skills and I know if someone caused me harm, she would hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

I mentioned in some of my previous posts that me and my 3 younger sisters were put in foster care when my mom had a nervous breakdown.

We were fostered by a JW couple. He became an elder. I found out he had been molesting my younger sister and turned him in when I was 11.

Sorry too much backstory.

No wonder we are so missed up.

Holiday season is coming up. I used to dread it. At work I used to have to walk a thin line. We do a lot of programs for children and like to incorporate current events. So holidays come up... Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

I always participated but would feel a little guilty like I was compromising.

Or I would feel guilty for not feeling guilty.

Now I can enjoy my work. We try to include everyone so we keep religion out of it but focus on traditions and seasonal things.

No guilt...Priceless.
