  Adding insult to injury when the WT kicks out a congregation from their hall

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.

  but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.

  so they still have to cut the grass etc.

  Expected pain

  2. experiences

  last week was a big week for me in terms of coming totally clean to my wife and her being more than on board to leave the jw’s with me.

  we know what to expect but things happen from family and it still hurts just as bad.

  last night my wife got a long text message from her brother that has seemed to be in the fence and he told her that same guilt tripping rhetoric that the wt uses about life in the paradise etc.

  why do people buy into this resurrection / 1000 years on a paradise earth fairy story ? is their real life that poor ? its all just a nice story cooked up by the watchtower society.

  this life you have right now is the real deal--make the most of it.

  as soon as you dump the god myth and walk away from the watchtower your life will only get better.

  What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.

  i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.

  however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?

  i'm in the UK--and had no connection to the cult since 1981.

  in about 2009 my jw dad mentioned my jw son had been d/fd. i was worried about him--because of shunning and loss of family / friends. i had had no contact with him since the mid 80's. no idea where he lived--anything.

  i had no idea about ex jw or apostate websites--didnt know they existed.

  then one day the UK Daily Mail newspaper published a big spread about the life of Rachel U******* and featured her website Ex JW Reunited. this is the site Amelia Ashton referred to in her reply earlier.

  . i took a look--paid the fee and joined. found a whole list of other members, so started a thread about my D/F son--and his whereabouts. as i live on a small island i was surprised to find 2 other members who used to live here--and i knew them from years before.

  very soon i was hooked on relating jw life stories--and getting to know some of the members. as Amelia mentioned--we organised get togethers and met lots of others who had totally changed their lives. Unfortunately the site got bombarded with spam--mostly porn sites---so the site owner Rachel closed it down.

  some used to write on here, but have moved on. only Amelia, Nugget and myself still write on here.

  Sisters handling mic's

  by I Faded Twice in

  2. friends

  i saw a topic on another forum where a sister was supposedly carrying the mics.

  i was curious if this was even possible?

  is it new light or just a lie?.

  "I think it is incontrovertible that this is evidence of blatant phallus envy!

  Form a judicial committee, STAT!

  Especially if her microphone is longer or thicker than mine!!!"

  you beat me to it there NN

  do sisters have to be blindfolded and wear rubber gloves when they handle the mik?

  Why not extend your child's life and take the consequences?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses & blood transfusions.

  if your son or daughter were badly burned, he or she would require regular whole blood transfusions.

  as a good jehovah's witness, it is your duty to refuse this procedure and watch your child die instead.

  can you imagine the reaction if the watchtower introduced the " no blood transfusions " now ?

  hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.

  today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.

  they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

  Jehovah’s Witness dating rules

  2. relationships

  i’m sorry that i talk about dating a lot, i know it is probably very annoying, but you don’t have to read it.

  but did anyone else have the most difficult time dating as a young jw?

  me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year in half, we are in our early 20’s, and we are still not allowed to hold hands, cuddle or kiss.

  things were somewhat different when i was "in"--this was 50 years ago. i used to stay over at my born in girlfriends house some weekends. friday night was meeting night. saturday mornings her devout dub parents used to drive off to the main city for a few hours spent shopping. their daughter and i spent the time in bed together. we did get married--no shotgun required. i was 20..she was 19.

  Why does it affect us so deeply?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was having a great chat with a valued friend and fellow forum member today on the phone.. we were discussing how deeply we all get affected by jw interactions - even years after fading or disassociating.. you know what i mean.

  those days when we run into jws who we considered to be our close friends.

  or "loving shepherds" who don't act kindly.

  i was very lucky. my mum got religion when i was about 10 years old. sure--i went along with it mainly because it had to be the right thing because we were in it ! after a few years i realised i wasnt interested in it--just going through the motions to make others happy.

  that all changed in my early 20's and i wasnt going to live the lie anymore. sure--others got hurt--but that was their problem--not mine.
