An incident was reported to me at a cong near me.
by poopie inthis df persons walks up to the cood and says i would like to give you my reinstatement letter because i have been attending meetings here ,the cood says do not give me that letter i need to observe you first then you can rurn in letter i ask my friend is that something new?
the person only wants to return because they want to speak to there mother and father and siblings so thats the resl reason but now they have to sit and wait for this elder to observe them what hypocrites.

Nice moment today
by Theburstbubble inso it's been a few months since i last went to a meeting but i've still had lots of guilty feelings about leaving, such as am i doing the right thing, thinking about friends and family, where do i go from here etc etc.
but i think once you stop believing you can't go back.. anyway, today i had a very nice experience.
my daughter had been to nursery today and when she got home i asked her what she had done and she excitedly told me they had been doing pumpkins.

GB "OUR KINGS"
by wannaexit ini was at the one day assembly and the bethel speaker in talking about governing body member klein -referred to him as our king.

Today's watchtower: obey us, no matter what
by Tornintwo intoday's watchtower:.
obey us, obey us even when it seems strange, obeying our man made hierarchy equates to obeying god, sacrifice your own interests, work for us, don't be independent, put your own interests aside, obey some more, preach for us, build for us, enjoy it, obey some more, forgive when we are jerks to you and mistreat you, accept your changed assignment even if it seems cruel and doesn't make sense, don't complain if we move you (eg.
) because you might have to move in the new world, remember you are being trained to obey, remember to put your own interests aside, that's the way we are designed to live - it will only make you happy!

“Personal interests and pleasures will have their place in God’s new world"
“Recreation and relaxation have their place, but the pleasure derived from them is increased when we put our relationship with Jehovah first”
Translation...You can have a good satisfying life in the future. Put your relationship with Jehovah (aka the org.) first. Give us your all (your money too) and you can have a satisfying life.
It's so hard to believe we ever thought along the same lines as these master manipulators.
Look at some of the old timers faces. They have the WTF look. We know of some (family members ) who are still work hard menial labor jobs (in their late 60's early 70's), with no end in sight of qutting or retiring. They can't or they would starve to death. It's like they have been waiting on a train that will never arrive to take them to their promised destination. Sad! I truly feel for these ones. At least we are young enough to enjoy the life we have today. I hope the majority of the young ones are running in the opposite direction. I think the internet is blowing a gaping hole in the JW belief system.

No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'
by wizzstick inin short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.

Sometimes it seems the org (cult) is purposefully trying to run people off. Are they trying to "sift out" the fence sitters and not so obedient ones? Maybe...they're just stupid...I don't know anymore!
With so many problems in the world, they are worried about tight pants? Really?
I wonder if the branch approved these uniforms?

Is Lying a Disfellowshipping offence?
by stuckinarut2 inso, if lying or being deliberately misleading is a "disfellowshipping" offence, why haven't the brothers who lied to the australian royal commission been brought before a judicial committee?

KateWild - It's all a sham and dependent on your status with the elders
Katewild. Perfect statement to describe a JC. It is who you know, your status and which family you belong to.

2016 Calendar: Give us more money!
by wifibandit injust got a peak at the 2016 calendar and i cannot tell you how much it bothered me.
it's all about constructing new kh and assembly halls, which is completely ironic given that the construction stopped almost worldwide.obviously this is proof that the borg is shifting from a magazine publisher to a real estate conglomerate, no wonder they're getting rid of 12 issues of magazines all together.. now, while the pdf of this is not up on the site yet, i will post confirmation as soon as it becomes available.
weather that is by legitimate means or other wise..

We know soooo many in the cult who are on every prescription med to reduce anxiety and depression and they swallow the pills down with booze. We care deeply for some who are doing this. We just want to scream..."get out of her." If they left, they may realize what is causing all their issues. You may have to loose family and conditional friends but the freedom (IMHO) is priceless. -
