convention rooming dept
by Darryl inso this past weekend i took my girlfriend and my boys on a little weekend getaway.
we stayed in a hotel and early sunday morning i went out for some starbucks.
when i returned and called the elevator it arrived, the doors opened and inside waiting to come out was a nice lady with that all too familiar badge on her lapel.

Phhhttffffff, I never cared about that list. I'd wait until the hotel closest to the convention had a deal, and booked it. I didn't feel like driving from further out just to atone the GB direction. F them.

Reinstated and then fade
by Zeds Dead ini'm a man - d'fd for 2.5 years now and divorced.
find it hard to date girls out here only due to always having this secret i carry with me that i was once a jw and the thought of telling a girl one day why my family don't acknowledge me as even alive.. recently been thinking of trying to get reinstated and then do a quick fade as i cant go back to the whole jw stuff.. easier said than done and was turned down twice by elders after an immediate attempt 2 years ago.. my motivation for trying would be 1.
) to see if family make contact and 2) play the last hand in their game and give the middle finger.. interested in viewpoints?.

Honestly, the only reason I would seriously think of going back would be if I found a girl irresistible and I had to have her. Even then it would be to coerce her into marriage, wait a couple of years (or months), teach her about TTATT, then fade with her again into the sunset.
Of course, the odds of this are slim to nil. but that would be the only reason I would enter a KH after a successful fade. Otherwise it would be nothing but torture. also you run the risk of the girl being a stout jw and non-changeable...hence my plan would be crap and a waste of 3 years.

Recent mistakes of the Governing Body contributing to the decline of JWs
by slimboyfat inthey have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.
some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.
1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.

If I'm a "Worldly person", and a JW comes to the door, first thing I do after reluctantly taking their mags is type into google "Jehovah's Witnesses". And I see this. Yah for Simon and his great website!!! It's top 5 for all those truth seekers now :> After a couple of clicks, most "householders" can quickly learn about the TTATT and tell the JW's next time to take a hike.
Same goes for normal JW's as well. Even ones just looking for jw.org are going to be lazy and type in Jehovah's Witnesses at some point......and the rabbit hole begins :>

Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is
by sir82 inthis weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.
the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.
following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.

Sir82 - I remember at the meetings elders would ALWAYS make snide little sexists comments.....and everyone would LAUGH and LAUGH and LAUGH...
Even when I was a teenager, I never laughed. Just sat there seriously like someone had died. Such losers. Don't know how you could stand there through the whole story w/o punching him.

Pardon my political views, but I don't see Mrs Clinton as the best role model for anyone...habitual liar, arrogant, condescending, holier than thou attitude, deceitful, back stabber, possible bribery, questionable intelligence (email scandal), questionable morals, questionable ethics. not mention the stories I hear of her behind close doors to her underlings and worker bees...to put it mildly, she is a real B.

Luckily in a JW paradise you are not immortal - you are just perfect but still mortal. Theoretically, of course.
So in light of that, I would swiftly curse God for such a plight and stick a sharply crafted shiv from a plant husk into my gut to bleed out.

Single Sisters Over A Certain Age Group Getting A Bad Rap
by HiddlesWife ini'm new here; one of my relatives was a member on this forum a few years ago and told me about it.
anyways, as a sister who has been in the org since childhood and now in her late 40's (plus as a woman of color), i have noticed that a number of brothers have an ageist attitude.
they are very accepting of young women under 26 and rejecting women over that age, particularly those in their 30's and over.. is this an unspoken mindset from wthq (specifically from bethel), or is it that quite a number of males (sorry, i'm not sexist here) have this type of mentality?

From the viewpoint of a witless - "Sister so-and-so is already 30 and not married...something must be wrong with her. If she was really a good Christian and chaste and humble and submissive and a goody goody JW wifey, then she would've already been married by now...something must be REALLY wrong with her to be 30 and not married!!!"
Just my 2cents. If your not married by 30, then your done for.
