Did you actually read the bible end to end?

by Ultimate Axiom in

in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.

i was forced to have to read it out loud in a family bible study one evening a week with my girlfriend and her fanatical parents. i should have run a mile--instead i married that girlfriend.

the things us dub lads had to do to get our leg over.

ELO is still my favourite band.

but back in the day--it was OK to listen to the Shadows because 2 of the group were dubs --at one stage.

Is the org. Laying the groundwork for no earthly paradise?

by nowwhat? in

in stephen letts annual meeting talk he spent about 15min.

talking about how the garden of eden compares to our spiritual paradise that we are currently inhabiting.

he didn't mention the earthly paradise until the very last sentence.

if dubs keep going round that corner looking forward to armageddon--eventually they will end up stuck in their own arse hole. maybe thats what the GB mean by paradise.

when i first seen this website i actually thought it was a jw website hence the home page and not an ex jw website and i posted a topic thinking people were real witnesses then i quickly discovered it was not and all these people were commenting and embarrassing me and i couldn’t even delete the thread.

then i asked the admin to delete it and i said it was very misleading saying it’s a jw page and he’s like are you serious i deleted your topic and now you are attacking me and it clearly says ex jw page.

he was very rude and btw no where does it say ex jw and you should be able to delete your own threads you start.

stan livedeath

None of those things happened. I haven't corresponded with you once. You're an idiot. Fuck off.

no need to be polite mate--just tell it the way it is.

Elders encouraging young ones to live in a fairy tale

by Addison0998 in

so one of the elders at the meeting tonight addressed to parents in his talk, “if your child wants to flip burgers for the rest of their life, because that’s is the only job that will allow them to have a schedule for full time service, you would want to support them the best you can.” he has also said told parents that if their children already have plans to go to college, even in the near future, they should try to do everything to stop them.

there’s so much ranting i could do about that alone, but to make matters worse, this is a considerably well off man.

he has his own buisness, a nice house with an additional room he added on last year, and him and his wife just took a lavish european trip.

@Addison--please dont think i was prying..i do understand your position. i had to endure a few years of numb bum meeting attendance to try to preserve my marriage. all to no avail.

good luck.

You Don't Have to Tell the Elders Anything!

if you were ever brought before a judicial committee, and were about to be interrogated by the elders, just remember...you owe them nothing.

they are mere men and no better than you!

even if it wasn’t a judicial interrogation , you should never feel obligated to them.

My mistake was to be honest, trusting, and friendly. I was DF with no tangible evidence bar my own admittance that I had had a meal with my wife's carer in broad daylight (deemed to be 'brazen conduct') to repay her care

was the carer disfellowshipped ?

if elders ask you why no FS or meeting attendance--just say you dont feel like it at the moment.

Warning: autistic screeching ahead ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

a regular guy went into a vape store in georgia recently, to buy his wife some liquid for her e-cigarettes.

his big mistake was to wear a trump t-shirt.

the shop assistant went completely mental because of the t-shirt.. the customer remained calm throughout and eventually got the product he wanted (i think).. but what a scene!

stan livedeath

i'm surprised it didnt end up in a gunfight.
