to be precise, he is my brothers nephew but that makes no difference really.
mum is 71 and a true, hardcore jw.
she's a good mum but has a real blind spot where her faith is concerned.. i know her.
my dub ex wife and i had 3 kids. we shared a very large home with her mother.
mother was a die hard rutherfordite. in fact--i'm sure she would have eaten one of his turds in a bread roll if shed had the chance.
i came home one day and she was filling my kids heads with demons and spooks and stuff.
words were exchanged.
if a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "queued for processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?.
if it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?.
servers seem a bit slow recently?.
yep--happenned when i replied to that survey thread--queued forever--
so i went 'ome.
now i see i posted twice.
i was recommended to this forum by a member of jw recovery.

hi everyone i'm at work and need to show this video to a jw.
i saw it a few weeks ago i think it was geoffry jackson who said that jehovah may or may not be gods real name but we use it anyways.
can someone help me find that video?
i sometimes was redirected to this page from reddit or another ex-jw site but never bothered to sign up.
i wanted to stay off the radar but since i'm getting dis-fellowshipped anyways and have no plans to come back what the hell.
been 22 years in the truth........... ahhhh i hate to use that expression...... bad habit but you know what i mean.
hi--welcome to the madhouse.
Simon owns the site--but hes not too bad--usually.
ah just more evidence of the work "speeding up during the time of the end".
i helped build this hall.
was appointed as an ms & elder there.
a few years ago my late father kicked in £5000 to his kingdumb hall fund. that hall got sold not long after. did he get his money back--?--err--no.
that was out of my inheritance.
i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.
she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.
my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.
do something that prevents you from being baptised--i dunno what--but nothing illegal or harmful to you. clothes ? wear a crucifix ?
have you any non-dub relatives you could go live with for a while--?
then let your parents taste what its like with you gone from their lives.
back in my teen years this story swept through jw land, that according to, the guinness book of records , freddy franz, was listed as one of the seven, most intelligent , men in the world.
dose anyone else remember this?
i remember trying to look it up, but never found anything in print, and ii point that out once or twice , and was told a co, had told about it, and he wouldn't lie!
http://m.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14276665.victims__brainwashed__in___8m_investment_scam/he told investors that his status as a jehovah’s witness meant he was unable to break the law, in an effort to win their trust.. teesside crown court heard how many of the 350 victims were elderly and had been deliberately targeted.some had since died with the stress of the county durham-based fraud having contributed to their ill health, and others had lost homes and life savings.a third man the crown said was involved, anthony kemp, is currently serving a prison sentence in new zealand for a separate but similar fraud, but is expected to be extradited back to the uk to stand trial when he is released.. .

oh dear--a con man in the JW ranks. who would have thought it ?
perfectly suited to each other i would have thought.
