Welcome y'all from JWR - any questions?

by Simon in

i just wanted to take a minute to say "hi" and welcome to the site for anyone who's come here from jwr.

i can imagine the site being shut down suddenly was shocking and unsettling for many who relied on it and sometimes you don't realize how much you do rely on something until it is gone.. hopefully you'll see some of the same familiar names appearing and be able to reconnect with people you knew via this site and continue your journey together.

i don't know what the posting policies on jwr were but know it as a moderated site so can't imagine them being hugely different to the ones here.

i heard today about a former jw/now apostate who is dying in hospital.

this information was accompanied by the comment of "wouldn't be awful to be lying there in hospital,dying as an apostate!

knowing that you have no hope!?

i underwent an operation a few weeks ago--i was fully aware it carried a degree of risk. as i went under the general anaesthetic--i wondered what would be the other end--lol. the next instant i woke up...but it was 3 hours later.

so far--so good.

Kingdom Hall Dedication this Saturday

by punkofnice in

by invite only!.

my jw spy tells me that this is in st paul's road, peterborough.. as far as i can tell, he tells me some corporation bully boy is coming over from bethel.

so, the local jws have been tasked to clean it so it's fit for this visiting dignitary.. of course there are only a certain amount of invites available and nepotism rules.

dedicated to jehovah--ha ha. more like a short term lease.

i've already found several by reading older posts..

Life of Brian

by berrygerry in

i was a younger dub at the time of this release, and stopped watching this movie near its beginning, when john cleese was stoned with the huge rock for saying jehovah.. this was despite having been (and continuing to be) a major john cleese (and monty python) fan.. any fans of this film?.

How to wind up a JW

by slimboyfat in

tell him that jesus probably didn't get married or it would have mentioned it in the bible, but at the same time we can't be 100% sure he didn't get married because it doesn't specifically say he didn't get married.

stand back watch fireworks.. i thought it was a pretty reasonable thing to say.

pop.

why make it complicated ?

ask them if they've heard of rutherford.

if they have ( unlikely )---ask which cult name he invented--and---when.

How long can this cult remain with only kids becoming members?

by Crazyguy in

it's become clear that very few from outside the religion are joining anymore.

if only the kids of the people that are already in are the one replacing the members as they die off and 50% let's say of the kids leave then how long can they realistically last before the downturn becomes obvious?.

the watchtower needs to realise its greatest human resource--are the young females !. they are the ones who trap the young males into marriage--in order to have sex. left to their own inclinations most young single males will go elsewhere for it--and never return.

My wonderful son

by KateWild in

hey everyone,.

for those of you who don't know my story.

i had a messy divorce i lost custody of my son in 2011 age 9yrs after four years of court battles to get him back i couldn't do anymore.. yesterday my wonderful son had an upsetting day as our contact was cancelled.

stan livedeath

i fully understand your frustration with our legal system, Kate.

i know my son wasted £1000's on legal costs fighting for access to his 2 kids. mostly to no avail.

if you turn up for your access visit--and theyve gone out--nothing much you can do about it. i had enough of it 30 years ago.
