hi people,.

i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

The Elders are Coming Help!

by LaurenM in

so the elders keep bugging me and pestering me about having a meeting with them to "introduce me to my new congregation" for some reason (do any ex elders know what that even means??).

i keep postponing and making excuses and they are getting more and more aggressive.

i finally agreed for them to come over today, but really don't want to..should i hide from them again?

if you do meet with these self important cult-cops----tell them your really struggling to make ends meet--ask them repeatedly to help you--a small loan--just a few hundred to tied you over.

maybe sutcliffe really does think he will live forever in the new system.

the more you think about it---this couldnt be better publicity for this crazy cult.

So my best friend was reinstated last night

by LexIsFree in

so my brother-in-law, who is also my best friend, was reinstated last night.

i had an idea that he was trying to make his way back to the cult because i had been texting and calling him for about 3 months now and no answer from him.

when he text me this morning to tell me the news i wasn't shocked, but i was saddened.

stan livedeath

i wonder what the percentage is of those d/f ones who have realised they can get reinstated to please family then slowly--quietly fade away so they can lead a normal " worldly " life ?

JW Talk

by Alive! in

was sipping my coffee, browsing here and there, and then focussed on reading here regarding arc, picked up some world news on same subject - and wondered if jw org would publish any information on their news site.. then, i flicked to jw talk - anything in their public news forum?

a newish headline 'australia and jehovah's witnesses' or something like that - i entered link - web page error, not found.

nope.

stan livedeath

they are gods chosen few--they are going to survive armageddon any day soon-----its totally understandable why they feel like this.

smug is the word best describes them

I never understood field service...

it was always boring, and i was afraid that i was gonna get attacked by a dog.

i actually almost got attacked by a rottweiler once.

i didnt get paid for it, nobody listened to us, i actually had guys make passes at me while i was out doing street corner, i was always afraid i would get grouped and raped.
