It doesn't matter if they are baptized. They thank Jehovah every time they win a tennis game. They should know better than to pose nude or drape themselves in a flag. I know "worldly" people who wouldn't even pull those stunts. Too much class. They get away with it because of the $$$. Been watching this crap all our lives. -

No...they won't DF him, he donates too much to the org. Same as the tennis playing Williams sisters. No DF'ing or reproof for them either for the nude photos or photos with them draped in an American Flag. This is why they make such good JW's, they are HYPOCRITES! -

What they really mean to say..."is Brother or sister so and so won't allow me to bully, control or abuse them." Boo hoo

What do they endure?
1.Driving around aimlessly.
2. Gossiping. They are really good at this!
3. Eating too many donuts.
4. Drinking too much coffee.
5. Collecting any Governmental Assistance checks they can get their hands on.
6. Mooching off of anyone in the Congregation they can get their hands on.
7. Criticising anyone in the Congregation who got a college education and has a good job. They don't have a problem borrowing money from these ones.
8. Letting everyone know that they are serving Jehovah to the full. Brag, brag, brag.
9. Walking as slow as possible to the next door.
The list is endless!!

Leaving Christendom for the Kingdumb Hall
by gone for good inmost of us old timers left behind a stable, respected, religious heritage in our disillusioned haste to join a stupid cult.. as i recall, there was no rite of dissociation required - no reason offered to your church, no resignation required - it was a non-event from the dubs viewpoint.
what was your experience?
were you expected to do or say anything as you abandoned your spiritual heritage to become a drone in the watchtower hive?.

Unfortunately, we were born ins. We were raised by wonderful families but have alot of resentment because of being born ins. We talk alot about what it is that attracts people to this cult. If we had a choice we wouldn't have chosen to associate with these bat s*** crazy people. I think we were just drug along by our hair. We always felt like something just didn't feel quite right. -

ABCNews Nightline: Segment on JW absuse cases here......
by WingCommander inhere is the segment on the conti abuse case in california and jehovah's witness's response as reported on by the abcnews nightline broadcast which was shown early this morning.
it really displays some absolutely shocking behavior from not only her abuser and his (supportive) wife, but also the jw attorneys and elders via video.
i am just blown away by the audacity displayed by these monsters.. we can now understand why governing body member stephen lett slipped in his comments a couple of weeks ago about "untrue reports of child abuse" in one of his talks which can viewed on the cult's website.

Gifts from my old hall..
by Garrett inhey guys,.
so, it seems the hall i used to attend before my latest one got to hearing that i "disappeared".
so today, i went to the post office to pick up a package.... i decided to try to face reality and open it... what i found were multiple letters and wrapped gifts.

I agree, it was a thoughtful gesture. The issue I have with it is...if you told those ones that sent the items that you no longer believe as you used to but are still the same lovable, kind and gracious person that you were when you were in the organization, they would drop you like a rock. They would no longer desire a friendship with you. They would say..."you left Jehovah." That is not friendship.
We have several "worldly" (don't you just hate that word?) friends and if I told them I never wanted to be a Baptist, Catholic, jw or whatever religion, they would not dump us like rocks. I know these people well and I know they wouldn't do that. These non believers have been very kind to us.
I find the conditional love and lack of love one of the MANY flaws of the JW's.

It's love bombing. Maybe they are counting their time. It's good you didn't open any of that stuff. It's all conditional love. Don't let them pull you into their web. Move on and enjoy your life. Cheers!
