hello everyone.. first post here.
long time follower of this website, probably 4 years now.
i've known about ttatt since ive been 18, im now 22 going on 23 but still go to meetings because of parents.
hello Breezy--and welcome to the site.
i too had enough by the time i was 23. but i was married then--to a born in. had been a pioneer and a servant--gave pulbic talks both home and away.
anyway--youve got the rest of your life to look forward to--make the most if it--i did !
oh--by the way--i'm 67 now lol.
just saw this on the public area of jwtalk (i am not a member).
here is the link.. http://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/23523-privvy-news/.
such a shame - i do feel for these ones - i just don't know what to say.... wgo.
it'll all be ok--Armageddon will be here any day soon.
oh--i forgot to add--a day to jehovah is a 1000 years.
living with 4 other guys.
"good morning, richard!
richard is almost never in the house.
hey terry--i hope i look as fit as you do when i'm 68.
a bit too late i think--i'm 68 in february.
had to share.
kudos to the photoshop artist!
well done and very, ehem, insightful : - ))).
if so why?
ive been out 40 years now--and only got involved with the ex jw online scene 5 years ago.
i got C of C as everyone was on about it.
TBH--i found it hard going to start with--a lot of pages of watchtower print--which my eyes wont even focus on. so--i started in the middle--and quickly found i couldnt put it down.
ive no doubt that Ray's book has helped many break free from the watchtower prison---and would recommend anyone give it a go.
in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.
or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry
right--got that. --so--what's to stop a dub going out door knocking regardless---just that the time dont get counted. some punishment lol
so i was scrolling down facebook and i saw that my brother-in-law was getting lots of likes and congrats (including sadly from my wife) for graduating pss.
initially i thought peter pan (he is incredibly immature for a 23 year old) had gone against character and completed some sort of educational or vocational course until i found that pss stood for pioneer service school.
i was tempted to comment how sad this was but instead commented that "no matter how much you do they will always make you feel like it is not enough".

a jehovahs witness from stratford who took part in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl has been struggling with those demons for the last seven or eight years, a judge has heard.. but pleas for craig allen, who was said to have support from the jehovahs witness congregation, not to be jailed cut no ice with a judge at warwick crown court.. the 43 year-old of evesham road, dodwell, was jailed for two years and eight months and ordered to register as a sex offender for life after he pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual activity with a child.. prosecutor andrew wallace said allen had met the girl in the mid-2000s through the church.. the girl, now a young woman in her 20s, said she began to fancy allen, who had started to pay her compliments.. then on one occasion when he gave her a lift, despite being fully aware she was only 15, allen sexually touched her.. she did not object or tell anyone what had happened, and there were further consensual incidents between them, including various types of sexual activity but not full intercourse.. someone who suspected what was going on between allen, a family man in his 30s, and the girl said something to her mother.. but when she challenged both her daughter and allen about what she had heard, they both denied it.. things stopped after the girl began to feel guilty about what was happening, and she eventually decided to come forward last year and contacted the police.. she said she had been dramatically affected by what had gone on, and that what happened with allen caused her to suffer a breakdown and still haunted her.. when allen was questioned by the police he accepted the incidents had taken place, but claimed it was the girl who had taken the lead.. elizabeth power, defending, said allen, who has a son and a daughter who were now both in their 20s, had attended for a voluntary interview with the police and made admissions.. he did not force himself on her but he was the adult and she was a child.
he says he was weak and was attracted to her.
how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.
how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.
how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.
j.Aq; " So the likely hood of meeting live EXJW is very slim. Plus the fact that we fade and don't publicize it doesn't help"
i'm surprised just how many ex jw's ive come across over the years--cant explain it--do we give off a vibe ?
i quit over 40 years ago. bit pointless being a JW if you simply dont believe in god.
happy birthday to our son kessan, i hope he doesn't do this to us.
