i was born in the religion but why on earth do people join this religion?
?.
often wives join first...then drag hubby along.
usually some tragedy in life starts the ball rolling--and the watchtower promise of everlasting life..new world..resurrection ( or whatever else nonsense rubbish is in favour these days )..hooks them in.
2 for me 1 from my old congro in the 80's and another that was in the same circle of friends.. karter..
there used to be a UK xjw site--and i came across someone who had attended the same congregation as me--but many years apart. but we knew the same people.
also got in contact with an xj on one of the facebook groups who lived in the same part of the UK as my youngest son. turns out he knew him well., which is more than i do!
i'm taking a university astronomy course, and i must say it's really fun to read about this field.
anyway, i remember the jws used to use jupiter (and probably still do) as an example for how unique and special our solar system is (and thus designed) -- namely, that jupiter protects the earth from astroids, comets, and meteors.
convincing if one doesn't know any better, especially circa 1994 when jupiter stepped in front of a comet for us... but this isn't the full story!

a cross-dressing jehovah’s witness raped and molested a girl while making her wear adult women’s clothes.. david fuge, 69, wore dresses and silky underwear when he repeatedly abused his blindfolded victim from the age of eight to 19.. .
liverpool crown court heard he gagged her and on one occasion tied a belt around her neck and left her hanging from a hook in a room.. he photographed the child naked, made her read pornographic magazines, beat her with a piece of wood and abused her at a golf course.. .
has he been disfellowshipped ?
what a journey!.
it was a year ago today that i was announced from the platform by brother paul "twofaced" castley that i was "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".
i didn't go to that meeting to hear the announcement because i already didn't believe the watchtower religion.. how was my first year?
happy re-birth day Emperor!
threads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.
they are loads of fun to read.
how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.
i was amazed just how much my late dad used to relate demunze type stories he had heard off someone who knew someone who......
my dad was a very highly skilled electrical engineer in his working days---became a dub some 60 years befor .he died last year. why he gave those nonsense stories brain-time was totally beyond me.

The main criteria will be what it can be used for when they sell it. Maximise returns.

i have posted the full story on a fb site.
so my apologies to anyone who's already read it.
some of what i've written is what was told to me by my father.
@ hi bunny...no..I was referring to my first wife..a born in harridan control freak with a nasty personality. Tried to run me through with a 10 inch kitchen knife..but that was a lifetime ago.
