A new member

by Kurteousmaximus in

hi... i am new and after nearly 20 years after being disassociated at 15 i would like to make contact with others who have similar difficulties.

my mother was disfellowshipped shortly after my rebellion and had all ties with both her mother and brother cut and that remains the case.. just really hacked off with not being able to put things in the proper place in my life after all these years.

for the record i don't know if i believe in god but am searching for some peace as i seem to self destruct on a regular basis.. any ideas anyone?.

Do they notice who no longer gives donations?

by onightdivine in

because i haven't put in a single dime for over a year now in the box at the kh.

the usual custom is to put money in there right after the meetings.

but heck, i already spend so much in car fuel just to attend - i don't care really if the gb starves and dies.. oops.. anyway, do the elders take note who's donating and who's not?.

just put a plain envelope in--empty of course.

How About Phony Cart Work At Frequent Cart Spots?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

for a prank perhaps somebody found a cart spot (busy one), and they set up a phony carts site and do things that will sure to get people to complain to the cart people when they take the spot again?

i'm bored sorta and the idea just pop up and i thought about sending into internet hyperspace.

stan livedeath

it would be funny if two ex jw's were to hijack a cart. just stand next to it and say to any onlooker a few real truths about the watchtower. then see how long it takes for the real dubs to take it away.

Do you have J-dar?

by JWdaughter in

today at work i had an interesting set of co workers.

one was telling us about her side job selling sex toys(also a l&d nurse).

How Jehovah's Witnesses could become a huge mainstream religion without harming people. Any thoughts?

by JWchange in

if jws did the following, i believe they would grow exponentially and become one of the largest 'religions' on earth : .

1. no more dfing or shunning......its up to your conscience who you like or don't like.

in the same way if i was catholic living in ireland, i wouldn't hang out with my neighbor if she was a drunk fornicator, just had an abortion, had a taliban boyfriend and also supported liverpool soccer club.

stan livedeath

have a free bar at the back of the kingdom hall.

new arrangement - chairman

by inbetween in

a thought on the emphasis of the importance of the new chairman arrangement at the midweek meeting:.

it reminds me of a tv-show, where the showmaster introduces tv-clips of some topics.. is it maybe a preparation for meetings with more and more videos ?.

and all the local brothers are doing is introducing them, creating anticipation for what big skydaddy prepared this week.. i wonder, if most of the meeting times in years to come will be videos anyway.....

chairman of the bored ?

Has God done anything recently worth witing about?

by WireRider in

i'm not sure why religions insist upon living and teaching from thousands of years ago.

a time when people lived in fear of things they didn't understand and didn't have the knowledge or words to describe things and events in terms that are relevant to us in 2015. why are we taught to live, and believe, in the middle-east over 2000 years ago?

when is there going to be some new material?

god created the internet.
