so, back when you were still in, or even now (for those still in), how do you respond when the elders ask to speak with you in the back room?

well, it's finally happened!.
im no longer an ms.. as many would know from our chats via this forum, i've seen it coming for a while....and while the way it was done stinks, i'm really happy to finally be free!.
(would love to share more details...i will do in time...or perhaps a pm would be best).
Hurray!!! please PM with details. i hope your wife took it well. when i stepped down it was a great feeling.
Stuck, is your wife still in? how is that going? would love to chat.
worse mistake of my life was joining this cult...if i could turn back time.

last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.
"a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".
this is not the first time i hear similar experience.
JWombies live in a dream world...kind of like "Days of our lives". these people are so dillusional, it actually is very sickening.
it's a good thing my wife isn't brainwashed....oh wait she is!
it's a cult....worse mistake of my life....if i could turn back time!

are you crazy?.
you find yourself 'awake' to the truth about the 'truth' and all you do about it.
is sulk?
Sounds like a great idea....but, my wife is so brainwashed and has such a low I.Q. When it comes to the washtowel. if i was to guess it's probably around 78 and i am high balling it. if it's not coming from the washtowel mag or the eggyoke magazine it's not gospel.
i think she worships the GB and elders....they are gods to her, maybe even rockstars.
i hate this religion....worse mistake i ever made, if i could turn back time!

I am confused? are they saying you could ask or apply for a loan? like a bank? for what purpose do they want to give money. i could see them asking you to take a loan from a bank and giving the money to them. which wouldn't suprise me. but, giving a loan.
but, with this cult...nothing suprises me. I will tell you what, they have my wife hoodwinked.
she believes with all her heart it's the truth....she is willing to destroy her family for it.
god bless her low I.Q soul....hope she is happy in Armagedon with the other sheeple.
the worse mistake of my life was joining this cult.....if i could turn back time.

i am proud to be a jehovah's witness in the last days, what religion has done this much to proclaim the message about the organization?
other religions are preaching about jesus, some wear the crucifixion, other's wear shirts with fishes but we wear shirts with jw.org!
no other religion has our courage!.
those are two girls are one you should stay away from...they will choose the washtowel over there husbands anyday....what a waste of two women.
it's a cult
a currently active jdub acquaintance occasionally stops by to say hello and we share a wee dram or two.
after the general small talk of new cars, exotic vacations and sports we often get into the "why" we are xjubs.
he is a well educated publisher who holds a phd in child psychology.
obviously he is not that smart....probably book smart. if was, he would recognize it's a cult. did he get his PHD from Sally Struthers university?

this is a reminder for some, and fresh bible guidance for new arrivals to this site.. have you been "witnessing" today, or are you planning to?.
revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to jesus.".
acts 8:16 - ".......been baptized in the name of the lord jesus.".
my wife lives in congnitive dissonance....she chooses the watchtowel over Jesus, me and evrything else.
Joining this cult was the worse mistake of my life.....i wish i could turn back time.

as a baby-boomer, i went through the pre-1975 bs without giving it any credence.. even as a youngster, my mind said: "if jesus said that no man knows the day or hour, then why the h is everyone saying that a is coming in oct.
" and i left as a teen.. for whatever insane reason, i was convinced to return a number of years later, and sadly, got dunked.. major faux pas.. in previous posts, i have mentioned my endearing love of great rock (god bless rock and roll), esp.
my teen faves bto, etc.. attending this concert ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yukhsmphvvo ) and watching fred turner's fingers drive me crazy, as one of my children has music in his soul and the fingers of a protege.. i hate that this cult destroys the orgasmic satisfaction that comes from the giving and receiving of pleasure from each others' developed or natural talents or gifts.. god bless rock and roll.. .
i too despise this cult...
if i could turn back time, just have one wish. i would go back and just say NO!

so, now that nearly all of the past knowledge that jw's has had is slowly being deleted, how does anyone do any research on any subject?.
meetings are pretty boring as it is, all they do is parrot the society's writings.. how is this going to work?
i have to wonder , what point is the service meeting , once you know how to walk up to a door and hand someone a magazine.
from what i am gathering what you are saying. all the old stuff is gone. the JWombie is not allowed to go out side the box and do research. so they are limited to what the JWombie controllers give them. so in essence this is a new level of brainwashing.
I just wonder how the old timers are going to cope with the high level of Cognitive Disonance.
Talk about mental abuse to the 10th degree.
Shalom,
