i have recently been disfellowshipped (after being reinstated in march).
i saw a group of jws gathered in the town car park yesterday.
they seemed startled when they recognised my car and talked amongst themselves giving one another a satisfied grin!
I wouldn't. You have gotten to sweet end of the deal. You are OUT. WT is a wart on the a*s of humanity. They are a mere blip on the map.
Go enjoy the rest of your life and your freedom. Don't waste any more of your precious time on a abusive cult.
We truly feel there is a storm coming for WT. Child abuse law suits and dwindling donations and membership has them very worried.
i was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.
what on earth has this picture at the top of page 13 got to do with christian watchfulness?
i wasn’t making a connection at all.
Oh I used to just love the "please be seated and quiet" signs the little snot nosed brothers used to carry around in the hallways. This was always pleasant to look at when you were walking your wiggly/fussy 2 year old around, praying that he/she falls asleep so you can have a moment of peace. I always had the wonderful vision of shoving those signs where the sun don't shine. Oh the memories!
i'd love to see you're favorite wt illustrations/photo's that they think are fine to print - but are actually kind of creepy/wierd.. .
here's my three fave from my book of bible stories (yes, a book for children!)..
man gets his head nailed into the floor with a tent pin by a good jehovah worshipper:.
Some of these photos I have never seen before. The one Jaydee posted is disturbing. I have never seen that one.
I always wondered why I never wanted to read My Book of Bible Stories to my children. Now I know.
...it looks like a generic, easy to sell barn hall.. https://youtu.be/eqwrfhbbqwy.
nothing like the old hall it's built next to.. the small room in the video is the indoctrination education center.. the building is completed one year ahead of schedule.
my guess: it's either much simpler than they originally planned, and/or they had more volunteers because nothing else is being built.. video is dutch, but nothing interesting is said anyway..
Cold and sterile. Easy to sell when needed.
besides being raised in the religion , why do people become jws?
.
Instant "friends." It's not until you decide to quit associating yourself as a JW, that you realize they truly are not your "friends." Unfortunately, some family members dump you as well. It is sad.
i just wanted to vent, nothing more.
my aunt died in edinburgh last week.
her obituary facilitates adding candles & personal messages.
Sorry for your loss. Many of the Pioneers in our area were going to the funeral homes webpage. They would add comments to the obituary regarding the JW hope. Easy way to count time.
the warwick gallery #1 and gallery #2 are still up.. i have #3 backed up: http://imgur.com/a/klnlg.

They don't mingle with the peasants.
Outlaws post was perfect, how much money do you have? He was spot on there.
when all the money from from the new york and london bethels has been used up,how many kingdom halls do people think will have to be sold off per year ?.
You would need new members to build new halls. I think there are tons more people leaving than there are joining. All you have to do is Google Jehovahs Witnesses and a ton of negative info comes up. The internet is Killing them and will continue affecting their numbers.
Some that are pissed are staying in due to the social networking, family and some have to stay if they work for another JW. The ones that are pissed are voting with their wallets. We have spoken to a few of these ones.
i just saw the documentary 'holy hell' on cnn, about a cult called buddhafield.
it was a small group but has existed since the 80s and still has a few followers.
classic cult stuff, much of which i found eerily familiar.
We did watch it , there was some similarities. Very good documentary. It was sad to see, at the end of the video, how this man had abused his power and deeply affected these peoples lives.
