  hi guys and gals,.

  its been a long time since i've posted here, i've been caught up with school and work so i've never had the time to post on the forum, but i've still been reading through some articles on here.

  now that finals are over i have some time to breath.

  No insult intended or implied, but, this sounds like an awake but trapped in ex-jws wet dream to me.

  My 14-year-old niece is being disfellowshipped

  i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.

  she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.

  it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

  Baptism is such a protection

  From absolutely nothing. In the real world, the very idea of being submersed in bleached tap water as a symbol of anything other than getting wet is absurd.

  The overlapping generation doctrine means that since 1995 the WTBTS has been making up shit as they go along.

  They've been making shit up as they go along well before 1995.

  jw.org cart days numbered?

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

  i bet its very minimal.

  naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

  If I was still an active JW, I would much rather man a cart than bug people at their homes. I absolutely hated going door to door.

  I have a relative that used to have a standing evening when she would go out with a group and do this cart work at a particular location. For some reason, this option and location was co-opted by a head honcho in the circuit under the guise that they could best serve the area by having a particular set of people with a certain skill set that they could manage.

  She told me that the group cried about it on the last day.

  so i attended a fairly large jw gathering last night with my active, elder husband.

  it was a good-by party for a former special pioneer couple who have been demoted to reg pios and have now moved to a larger city to find work.

  anyway, there was music and skits.

  I dont know how i can leave my family!

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mom and i were talking today about how next summer i will be 18 and she said that just thinking about it might make her cry.

  that made me think about how much more it would hurt her if i quit being a jw.

  i really do love my parents, i know they are just being cruelly manipulated by a cult and that they really think they are doing what is best for me.

  If you're intent on living your life the way you want to, you're going to have to eventually hurt their feelings.

  looking for ideas on what i should do?

  She'd probably be pissed if you left lying around Crisis of Conscious or Combatting Cult Mind Control.

  Two can play that game. It's your home too.
