  "stick with what we authorize and you'll be safe."

  Really? That statement should tell you everything. "Listen, obey and be blessed." Be a robot!

  They are very scared (as they should be). The apostates are just putting on the internet what these idiots have said and done. The GB are putting the nail in their own coffins, the apostates are just putting it out on the internet for the world to see. You'd think they would lock Anthony Morris down in the basement with a sock in his mouth. I believe he is the main reason most are running for the Exit. Keep it up Anthony, you are doing a fantastic job. We couldn't do it better ourselves.

  Great post dubstepped. We agree 100%. This is a great and positive post that can give others that are just leaving, have left and are considering leaving hope. The world is not the evil place the JW's paint it as. The are good, genuine and caring people out there. So good to hear success stories from those who have escaped. Thank you

  i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?

  etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.

  i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.

  It will never die, just shrink in numbers. It's a social club...nothing more.

  "From what my dad said, the apartments are a retirement complex for Bethel heavies that can't be reassigned."

  We have a strong feeling some of the old timers that know some dirty little secrets of Bethel are being housed there. Keep em quiet and housed until they die. Sad. This is a self serving organization.

  Tell your Father in Law to *&%$ off! Sounds like he's all up in your business. Not where he belongs. Don't give him, nor anyone else, the power over you and your family. Let them know that. Stand your ground and watch them back off. Tell them nothing and let them know they need to stay out of your business.

  This cult destroys so many families. It's disgusting!

  Welcome. What a story! Sorry you had to go through all of that.

  You mentioned the Elders at the dinner table discussing everyones "private" information. There is nothing private in this organization. NOTHING! We have NEVER gone to the Elders for anything and never will. We don't trust many people anymore. DON'T TRUST THE DAMN ELDERS WITH ANYTHING!

  Take it slow and don't trust your wife. If she will screw you over once, she will screw you over a million times. She should be the one you can turn to. You are a better person than I am. I would have dropped her like a rock. Sorry...don't mean to hurt your feelings. Just my 2 cents.

  They are counseling him on his tight pants. Then in the 3rd picture he has his clothes hanging up in the background and he is studying his WT propaganda material. This is too funny! Do they really think people do this? I had a good laugh over this one. Great find Pixel.

  Your feelings for the former travelling overseers

  during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.

  i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.

  at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

  I can't recall EVER a CO taking an interest in the average/lowly JW (unless they have money). If you weren't a Elder, MS, Pioneer or someone with a title they couldn't give a rats ass about you.

  Some come in the congregation with their list of foods they can't eat and their demands. I have demands too but I have to work to pay my bills and have a family to raise. No time for demands in everyday life.

  They latch on to the ones who have money, pick up the dinner tab and an open bar. Poolside would be nice too. We've seen that first hand.

  Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?

  by olongapo joe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.

  i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.

  Some may but the majority will just have some catch phrase and keep bobbing their heads up and down. They do this in so many things.
