Back in the early 90's there was a elder that refused to acknowledge me and the wife out in service because we drove a 2 Door Toyota sports car.
It was one of my early awakening moments.
i read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.
the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.
was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

jt further expounds on why we left the watchtower.
why we left the jehovah's witnesses part 2.
Nice to see you out and about JT and Lady C.

We're old buddies you and I as I remember we used to spar with apologists on belief.net and topix. I think we both started back going to school at the same time and even graduated near the same times. I think we both even hold high level IT jobs.
During my early exit and awakening I followed your posts with great interest.
YeahRight
looking back we had been fading without even realizing it.
life happened...and we weren't regular.
then we woke up and have actively been fading for 9 months.
I wouldn't give them the time of day and I would ignore any and all requests to meet.
Further, I would accelerate the fade to no meetings, no turning in time, and being busy with something to do if they come to the door.
I went to a CA one day with my wife and she thought it was so important that I meet with and talk to the elders who studied with me. When that time came, I shook their hands, exchanged hellos, and promptly turned and walked away leaving them all in stunned silence.
If only she knew how I really felt about them.......if I saw either of them on fire I wouldn't walk across the the street to piss on them.
it appears diogenesister feels a need for a proper ass-kicking.. ok, if you insist.
i'm a dub proctologist.... attempting to hijack greatteacher's thread "jw parents in severe car accident,".
diogenesister seized my observation that "bloodless surgery is the standard today, not because of the wtb&ts but because of medical progress" with he carefully-crafted argument "bull crap.".
I usually cringe when I hear JWs crow about how it was because of them that bloodless surgeries are so popular and how non-jws are moving to having bloodless surgeries.
As if, providing legions of crash test dummies willing to put t heir lives on the line is anything to crow about.
did any of you guys disregard the wt recommendations and pursue a career.
if you answer "yes": was your journey easy?
are you happy with the end result?

I guess its easy to say that when 8 million people are falling all over themselves flying you all over the planet and paying all your bills.
how hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?
they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?
are they understaffed?

In other words.....
Slackers!!!!!!
We know you got some more money in there somewhere!!!!
i'm non-jw.. been following this forum.
most of you folks have been through hell, but are still loving souls.
i'm reeeally impressed and glad to be here.. my question is at the end of this.
Aren't there any non-JW girls out there.......
I think this is the second post I've read today about some teenie bopper all googli-eyed in love with a teen JW girl.
This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
i told earlier that i have a longtime contact with a friendly and valuable non-witness insider in the jw-leadership.
our contact has lead to friendship.
i had some fun and it was remarkable to see some reactions on this board, that there are no non-witness insiders.
2012 you say?
