  i remember reading somewhere (perhaps on here?

  ) than an entire congregation disassociated and started their own congregation after decided that the gb were apostate.. was this an urban myth or is there any evidence of this?.

  i am head over heels in love with a man who was raised jw.

  i believe he is fighting demons, however, and is torn between what his heart wants to do, his beliefs, his depression & lack of self confidence.

  he has had 2 wives.

  when i was a teenage regular pioneer the monthly requirement was 100 hours.

  you have to laugh--a regular pioneer is an unpaid volunteer--yet is expected to reach certain targets,

  If shunning were no longer a JW policy, how many would leave the Org?

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  additionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.

  csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).

  would those leaving be higher?.

  He thinks someone spent hundreds or thousands of hours of effort to perfectly synthesize TM's voice, and perfectly CGI an image of him in the store, and perfectly synchronize his CGI mouth to perfectly match the perfectly synthesized voice, and perfectly synthesized the clerk ringing up his purchase, and so on..

  
  

  or--on the other hand--an evenings work for a teenage computer nerd.

  no one has explained why morris had a conversation with a stranger about booze and allowed himself to be filmed.

  ...to drop by and say, 'ayup, mates', to you all, my old friends.. i am so totally over the jobo thing i have surprised myself.. if anyone asks, 'what do you think of the jobos?

  ' my reply would be, 'i don't think of them.'.

  1971. I was 23..married to a born in who was pregnant. I faced up to the blood decision...and knew i would never refuse a transfusion for my wife, child or myself.

  Then i admitted to myself i simply didnt believe in god..and wasn't going to waste any more of my life with a daft cult i had no interest in.
