This Website Was Mentioned By The Governing Body
by JW_Rogue inokay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.
and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".
he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

Apathy trolley chat
by punkofnice ini was in a different city this weekend so i decided to natter to 2 bored jws on the apathy trolley.i just nattered, nothing thought provoking or anti witness.
i was waiting for someone so hard time to spare.what struck me was, that no matter how many times i said that i don't believe in god, they spoke to me as if i did.
they kept asking me how god would feel about stuff.

i saw my 20 year old granddaughter at a trolley cart last summer--twice. we live in the same village.
ive never met her--but i knew it was her--family resemblance. i was tempted to go and introduce myself--but i wasnt in the right frame of mind. i cant take too many more rejections.

I lied to the elders
by atacrossroads ini stopped attending meetings all together in january 2015. before that my attendance was irregular at best.
my husband followed suit a few months ago after months of research, agony, and indecision on his part.
from the very beginning i laid low and did not share with anyone what i found out about the witnesses because i did not want to be df'd.

This whole sad story only serves to emphasise that jw's are just a sad silly cult. Put it all behind you..get on with enjoying a happy life without it. Hopefully your family will start to wake up eventually. -

photos of pretty women spreading the watchtower good news will always go down well in third world countries. women readers want to copy them--male readers just want them. clever advertising. unfortunately the audience hasnt the money to donate. -

Disfellowshipped for celebrating Xmas?
by Theburstbubble ini could really do with some advice on what's acceptable when you leave.
we have left of our own accord about 6 months ago.
we didn't celebrate xmas this year but have just celebrated my daughters birthday.. a friend of mine who is still a witness told me that an elder had approached her and asked if we had celebrated xmas and that if we did it was a df offence as is classed as apostasy!
