How do you feel about exJW's who resist our efforts to effect change?

by nicolaou in

i've met a few.

i'm not talking about the jw who, whether df'd or not, falls off the radar and just gets on with living a normal life - good luck to them and may there be many more!.

i mean the former jehovah's witness who is now enjoying all the benefits of a cult free life thanks to the efforts of many bloggers, posters and activists, but is critical of the efforts of someone close them to free more jws.

ive been totally out of the cult for over half my life--i'm 67 now. i only discovered this online world of ex-jw's 5 years ago.

some of my family are still in it--probably for good. nothing i can do about it--ive been shunned most of that time.--except for my father--who is 94 now and--i'm sure--has his own private thoughts about what is right--and wrong---with his religion.

over the years--ive come across a fair number of ex-jw's. some want nothing to do with it--have moved on with their lives and have successfully blotted out the past.

others havent done so well----still believing its the truth and they will die at armageddon. mostly they are women----and--quite frankly i think they would be better off back in the cult.

they often display serious mental health issues--dabbling in spiritism or other arcane ideas. sometimes this leads to physical "illnesses" too--either real or imaginary.

My wife , Son and DIL living with us ,have still not acknowledged my birthday today @ 5:15 pm , I might have to drop them a subtle hint.

by smiddy in

i know being a witness for 33 years and not celebrating b/days you do lose the habit , but i thought one of them would have remembered ?

oh well .. maybe i will just rub it in with them tomorrow .make them feel guilty , eh ?.

then again i might just start singing "76 trombones" at the dinner table tonight .

Remember Going Out In Field Service Before Thursday and Friday's Heat-Stroke Convention at Dodger Stadium?

by The1975Blues in

i don't think the kids will remember going out in field service at your convention's city location helping the fiends do their territory.

on top of the horrendous heat-stroke sitting at dodger stadium we had to preach earlier in the week!

i heard some elderly witnesses speaking about "those were the good old days they thought" the grand old time they had while visiting the city of los angeles!

City location helping the Fiends do their Territory.

What Road Would You Choose---IF?

by John Aquila in

say you could go back in time to when you were 15 years old.

no watchtower in your life.

but the experience you have now you could keep.

at 15 i was still at a UK grammar school--in the 6th form--interested in going into architecture----but got listening to DO ron drage at an assembly bigging it up about teenagers going pioneering--so i bought into that instead. so left school--took up window cleaning--as you do--and started selling fucking magazines.

like most young men i was led astray by my hormones and married at 20 in order to copulate.

i can think of 2 things there i would have done differently with hindsight.

A Watchtower quote about apostates I never knew about

by Saintbertholdt in

i knew the watchtower didn't like me, but i didn't know they wanted to physically kill me (if they were allowed)from the 15 november 1952 watchtower magazine under questions from readers:.

in the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshiped, how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?.

we are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from god and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of israel in the wilderness of sinai and in the land of palestine... (and a bit later)..being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of god through jesus christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws.. so let me get this straight: if our secular pesky laws were not an obstacle and jesus was not in the way we'd be hunted and exterminated?.

You too, invent your "new light"

by coalize in

i had this idea of topic when john aquila made me laugh in one of his post when he said : new light!the governing body has the right to have sex with all the new virgins that get baptized before they get married.. and then i've decided to open this topic to ask this (stupid but funny) question : if you was in the gb, what's the "new light you will want to fight for?

stan livedeath

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head

that it--NOOLITE---all jw women from now on must shave their heads. but hats must then be worn at all times.

This just happened within last 15 mins......

by Lied2NoMore in

i saw an instagram post showing a short clip of a talk being given in one of our southern states.

the talk clip showed speaker making the statement, "jehovah doesn't want anyone to know satans real name, jehovah hates satan so much, he doesn't even want his name mentioned" .

i posted in comments: matt 5:44-48 with the full scripture rendered from niv.

"Jehovah doesn't want anyone to know Satans real name, Jehovah hates Satan so much, he doesn't even want his name mentioned"

err--didnt jevovah create satan in the first place ? and if he hates him so much--why didnt god simply delete satan ?

you dont think that--perhaps---the whole thing is just an ancient fable by chance ?

Slow motion pioneers

by 1Averagejoe in

observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.

along the way it's gossipy this and that.

pioneers?

stan livedeath

ha ha------great title.
