Anyone else refuse(ing) to go to the memorial?
by Dune in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm pretty sure that if i went today, it would give me yet another 6 months of peace at home.

but...i simply refuse to go to anymore witness events.

i talked to an ex-witness friend and she told me that even though she's df'ed and doesnt believe in the religion, the 'event' is only 45 minutes and doesnt see why i shouldnt go.

so, you are starting to leave the cult.

you begin to meet new people and instead of viewing them all as 'bad association', you begin to view them as fellow humans.

Urban Legends in the JWs
by Country Girl in
1. jw
2. friends
what was your favorite urban legend whilst you were in the jws that you now know to be just a buncha hullaballoo?

my favorite one was when a child brought a smurf doll to the kingdom hall and that thing just got up and went screaming out of the kingdom hall on its' own two feet.

i cracked up on that one.. .

Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.
by JEMIMAH in
1. jw
2. friends
just back from renovating my holiday home in the south west of france.

beats yorkshire anyday.... anyway thought i would share this little account with you.. as most are of you are aware, the alarm code for about 90% of kingdom halls is 1914 (nineteen fourteen).. i t seems though that for the last 8 or 9 quick builds or refurbs in the uk, the brother who installed the numbers into the alarm control panel used the numbers 1975 and explained the number as one nine seven five not the the easier version (ninteen seventy five).. trivial joke or honest mistake, either way this poor brother has been rumbled and has to to meet with 2 elders investigating on behalf of a body of elders to see whether an apostasy charge will be brought.. he is supposed to be meeting with them over the next few days.. .

a very sad jem, who is sick of the whole elder abuse game.
