lets hope the cult pump lots of cash into the congo. most people wouldnt even know where it is. of what relevance to anyone anywhere else is growth in such a god forsaken place. who cares.

Invited to a talk: What to do?
by Fred Franztone inmy sister texted me last night with an invitation to watch our dad give his first ever public talk.
i don't live particularly near to my family, but i'm not too far from them to make the journey, and i am on good terms with them, having never been baptised and so not disfellowshipped; they don't shun me and likely wouldn't even if i were disfellowshipped, it's not in their character.. i haven't been inside a kingdom hall since 2006, and i would like to keep it that way; i only intend to step inside one again in the event of a family wedding or funeral service.
i don't want to be rude to my sister, ignoring the text isn't an option, so i need a diplomatic way of declining her invitation.. i've considered saying that i'm busy, but this leaves things open for her to ask again in the future, and i'd rather she got the message that i'm not interested, without me having to say so in an explicit way.. any suggestions from those who have been in a similar situation?.

but the thought of being in a kingdom hall and listening to (even a mere 30 minutes of) the watchtower's propaganda makes me feel quite unwell,
thats exactly how i would reply. emphasise how in the last 12 years youve had a great life..well away from the wt--and never felt better.

Screwed up sexually
by purrpurr ini was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?
i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.
and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

i'm lucky--i shook off all that cult repression and control as soon as my first wife chucked me out. straight into an anything goes live in relationship with the j-dub woman i had an affair with ( she got d/f for it ).. that lasted about a year--then i went free fall into casuals for a couple of years till i met wife to be 2.
that 2nd marriage lasted 23 years till she sadly died at a young 58. i was pretty well monogamous during those years.
after her death i got involved with wife to be 3--married a year after we met. bad mistake--for various reasons. i then went back into free fall mode again--in my 60's!
been married to wife 4 for 2 years now--shes 22 years younger than me, and has a very healthy sex drive that keeps me more than satisfied.
i reckon in the 50 years ive been sexually active ( from 20 to 70 ) ive bedded about 50 women, which for a bloke is about average i would think.

Org's "rearranginging deck chairs on the titanic" serving 2 purposes
by nowwhat? inin 2 weeks we will be announcing major changes in northern ohio congregations and there is quite the buzz in the area about it.
just talked to a jdub from the detroit area that just underwent similar changes, and they mentioned it has been "quite exciting" to get to meet new brothers and sisters.
so besides the cash benefit of selling a couple kingdom halls in the process.

the dubs are getting really excited--the end will come any day now--and the rest of mankind will all be murdered by their loving god.

New kingdom hall Washington State
by Are you serious inyesterday i drove passed a town a couple of hours from my home and saw this kh under construction.
this is the first new design kh i've seen in washington state even though i would think by now another one or two have been built.
maybe not with their financial situation being the way it is.

Welcoming Our Latest JW Apologist JTrottigy
by pale.emperor ini'd like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our newest jw apologist jtrottigy.
.
he'll likely only be here for a few days like most jw defenders before he runs away when presented with his own doctrine.. so far he's already said some hilarious stuff, like "there's no such thing as nepotism in jehovah's organisation", "confidentiality is paramount to elders" and, my personal favourite "the overlapping generation is so simple to understand".. yh don't think i don't remember you from jwtalk..

"Oh, but I am still around. I have just been so busy. I am doing all I can for Jehovah and it is paying off. I am happy to report that I am now approved for cart witnessing. Perhaps some off us will meet in person? I look forward to that. Thanks for welcoming me to this site, as now I can compare what I know with what I read here."
ha ha--you clown.
would you do this if jehovah asked you to ?
