  "I think we are being "soft shunned." We are not DF'd or DA'd and no one in the congregation knows why we left a few years ago. Limited conversations with family. Small talk.

  We have bumped into a few of our old KH "friends." So far they have been cordial and friendly. I think the thing that perplexes them, we really are happy and we show it. We do this even at home. We have a lot to be grateful for and we figure if people WANT to be in our life, they are more than welcome. If not, good riddance, their loss. We are the same happy, generous and kind people we were when still in the cult. We just don't believe what we used to.

  JW Nut Telling His Story Online

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  while searching for some jw related stuff online, i stumbled across this page created by a pimi.

  his name is steve mcdowell and a watered down version of his story was published in the watchtower https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150701/bad-to-worse-life-story/.

  however, this version, he says, is the full version.

  Who the heck needs to go to the KH or out in field serve us anymore. You can do everything online! It's preparing the rank and file to hide out in their bunker and wait for the asserians to show up. lol

  Paranoid much! lol

  Great interview!!! Now we all know why WT doesn't want it's members to research. Too much truth to be found!

  Glad this young girl escaped and started living her life.

  We have watched JW's home school their children and them put them in Bethel or Pioneer and they can not function in the world. It is sad! I hope more and more young people see through this cult!!!

  The glue of disfellowshiping

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the fear or threat of being disfellowshipped is what is keeping thousands of jdubs stuck in the borg.

  the borg knows that and constantly reminds the witlesses of this loving provision from their desert god.. this forces thousands of people to live miserable lives.

  millions of jdubs live for the promised panda and lion petting zoo while pissing away the only life they will ever have.

  Yes, the GB knows this. A similar situation with the blood policy. WT knows if they drop the blood policy completely, they will get the crap sued out of them.

  Female JW parking "attendants"

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was shocked recently to see on social media a couple pictures of jw sisters at a convention working as parking "attendants".

  i put that title in quotation marks because they still don't get the official attendant badge like the male parking attendants do, only the reflective vest.

  has anybody else heard of this .

  JWTALK Bob Comes Up With A Classic

  by AverageJoe1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the guy everyone loves to hate, bob, has come up with a classic:.

  redefining the concept of "critical thinking" when it comes to jws.. he quite correctly states the need to use critical thinking when reading the bible, yet we all know that pimi jws don't have the first clue what "critical thinking" really means, especially on a thread fawning over how great the gb are and guessing who will be presenting the next jwb!.

  the link to the actual comment is:.

  Yeah this guy sounds like the typical self righteous and arrogant dub.

  I scrolled up and read the lyrics to a JW song. The song is about loneliness. Interesting. How come all the JW's are feeling lonely? I felt that way to when I was in. Been out for several years, don't feel lonely anymore! I just find it interesting that JW's feel lonely in their big and loving family.

  Pioneers, Prayers and Pills

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  looking back on my two decades as a jehovah’s witness, i’ve come to realize how the constant theme of endurance is playing a detrimental role on the individual's psyche.. jehovah’s witnesses have become far too good at keeping going.

  they’re experts at surrendering to the demands of the watchtower, living up to what’s expected of them, and getting on with the priorities that those in power have defined and imposed upon them.

  they keep showing up, presenting themselves a dutiful pioneer or ministerial servant.

  We know of several families hooked on prescription meds. They actually brag about it. They all looked spaced out!!!

  I drank like a fish when I was a JW. Now...I have an occasional glass of wine. Happiness and freedom does that to you!! lol
