I had a text sent to me several years back...."so many at the assembly are asking about you."
Funny.....most of them have my cell number, yet I have never received any kind, loving communication from them. JUST EMPTY WORDS, NOTHING ELSE!!!
how many times have you heard that trope?.
i found it more irritating than a dose of farmers on the bum.
i've even said it when i was a brainwashed jobo drone.

"Oh the blessings I receive when I contribute."
WT is trying to get the rank and file to "set it and forget it." Set your bank account to automatically take out a set amount every month.
WT is going to follow the 700 club "business model."
Our parents are rolling over in their graves.
WT has hit a new low!
i'm inactive here to the local jw's as i have faded.
i've been slandered and all that, shunned by some but not all, but the elders basically leave me alone.
i still run into to people all over though.
Oh my God, this is hilarious!! My spouse and I have had conversations that we go back and forth on regarding intrusive JW's. This is a perfect example of what we talk about. YOU GOT TO DO IT....THAT IS AWESOME! Great job!!!!!
a place that will bring you praise.

Brother Splane's pet project. Conducting the JW choir. I bet they perform this live at the annual meeting!
it now appears that the wt can df you just by marking you.
this happened to my me and my wife a few week ago.
a marking talk was given at the mid-week meeting in which no names were mentioned yet a detailed description of the "offending bastards" was delivered so that there as no doubt who this "pond scum" might be.

So happy to hear of the progress of your little one. We were talking about you last week and wondering how you all were doing. Great news!!!! Congrats!!!

Part of a quote I remember...."when a toxic person can not control you, they will control how others see you."
So true! I have had a family member (uber JW) try and do this to us. My attitude...who cares, I don't want to be around those ones who believe others sh*t anyways. We are spending our time in a more productive life after Watchtower.
When you bump into still in JW's who shun you, act as happy as you can be. Smile and act happy, that is what they hate most!!! It really pisses them off. After all, they are stuck in a cult, NOT ME!!! lol
are they pretty much left alone?
are they respected for their having been elders at one time?
are they treated like crap?.
A close friend of ours was removed as an Elder a few years ago. He definitely was treated differently. He admitted it. He is now back in and all is well in Watchtower land.

Yes...we all have been "tricked."
They watched R rated movies? The JW hypocrisy wheel just keeps churning!
We are glad we are OUT too. NEVER TO RETURN!
so this is an honest question that i have been thinking about for some time.. do regular jehovahś witnesses in other countries (other than the usa) take the governing body in new york seriously?.
i mean, i cant help but wonder about the publishers in japan, or south africa, or mexico, or new zealand, or even the uk, or spain, or italy...... or russia?.
not you and i (we know what you think of them), but the regular jwś...... do they take these american buffoons seriously?
Yes... they WILL disappear in "the twinkling of an eye" when the heat is on and they need to pull the rip cord of their golden parachutes. Hundreds of corporate high ups have done this over the years when the spot light shines on them. Cowards always run!
hey guys!
what do you think is the percentage of jw's believe that it is the truth and the percentage of those who think it might be some false or all false??
?.
Not sure but we know a lot don't know even a small portion of their very own religion. Most of our family do not even watch the monthly broadcasts. We know more than they do and we are OUT. I think they just like to be told what to do and what to believe. It's a comfort zone!
