Atilla, give it a shot. Get it off your chest if you need to. They are all programmed to not register anything in their brains that is not WT sanctioned. Expect the worse, but hope for the best.

i have been sick and tired of not doing anything about the constant lies i get from the wt organization on various issues such as the u.n. no one from my parents to brooklyn can give me a straight answer on anything.
so, yesterday, i decided to take a different approach.
i live near a kh that actually has a apartment built on to the side of it for the co who serves all of the kh's in my area including my old hall that is over an hour away from where i currently live.

it's a nice warm summer in a welsh sea-side town and the chairman is giving the concluding prayer.
he starts to slow down and then there is a pause.
it lasts long enough to make you open your eyes and lookup in time to see him wobbling backwards and forwards.. two brothers leap to the platform and catch him as he is about to pass out but then, in a rediculous scene, instead of helping him to a chair they prop him up between them and one of them carries on with the prayer!
With all the comotion the chairman just said "er ... amen".
LMAO @Simon's story.
i just told them where i work as a volunteer, that i am going to a workshop for those that have left a cult tomorrow.
they were all fascinated and wanted to know which cult i had belonged to.
i said jw's and this one guy said i he used to be one of them.
He told me not to believe stuff on apostate websites etc. etc. but he left over 7 years ago, it still has a hold on him.
I was out of the org for nearly 14 years, and yes, I was definitely still under its influence for most of that time. I defended it and ran like hell when and if anyone said the word, "apostate". To understand and be free, you really must look objectively at the evidence that exists. You have to wash the sand from your eyes.

a young punk assulted this forum and a newbie.
i blasted his butt and my comments were (edited).
sorry if my dislike of jerk-wads leads me into a furry of words.
Elmer! What you are experiencing is properly called, "I am new XJW and I am pissed off and don't cross me or I will kick your effing arse!" sydrome. I went through the same thing and have learned over time to tone it down a bit. I still get so pissed at these self-righteous JW's and JW apologists who come in here to set us straight.
You are super cool and we all really do understand.

i receieved this "poem" from some witness chick who sent it as a forward to myself and a whole bunch of other dubs.
my sister received it from someone else and i have other friends who received it from other sources.
im sure every young witness who has email has received it by now, and it's the most sickening, disheartening thing i have seen in a long time.
The Way It Really Is |
Once I was a brother in the gay ol? ?truth? |
I too knocked on doors, made the most of my youth! |
I fell away for a time but determined to return |
And when I did I brought with me a major concern |
My new wife was worldly, but baptized she got |
The ways of the world my new wife forgot! |
?To receive my love?, I said, ?you don?t really have to? |
?but it?s the best way I know? she said, ?that I can control you |
She was materialistic, demanding; an angry jealous ho |
We had some kids and to the Kingdom Hall we did go |
When my mother died one night after the meeting |
And left my heart broken and just barely beating |
I was in the car when the drunk driver made impact |
Taking my mother?s life, but leaving me in tact |
The nightmares came and grief took my hand |
She vehemently told me I should be more of a man! |
?Let it go!?, she said, ?and don?t be a jerk . . . |
Tomorrow is Monday and you can?t miss work!? |
She withheld her ?love? until I recovered |
She threatened to leave me for grieving my mother |
I drifted away, got sick and so lost |
She said it was my children that would be the cost! |
She filed for divorce and made me a vow |
That I would die like a dog very soon, if not now |
That she would find a man, spiritual and good |
To be the kind of man that I never could |
The brother she hooked was a fat angry drunk |
But that was ok since he was a Jehovah?s punk |
She said that he would now be my kids? dad |
That he had his own landscaping business while I was so bad |
She clung to the ?truth? and had premarital sex |
With that ?spiritual man? that made her my ex |
They committed fornication and got disfellowshipped |
More self-righteous they grew upon reinstatement |
They abused the kids and made them so blue |
Until suicide and hopelessness they felt through and through |
The elders had meetings and counseled my kids |
They said, ?Just look at your mother! See what you did?? |
The abuse persisted, the drinking and sheer hell |
That fine spiritual mate of hers had thrice gone to jail |
I took her to court and got my sweet kids back |
And told all the JW?s to smooch my white ass-crack |
I just want to say that that first poem is bullshit |
It doesn?t happen that way . . . but usually the opposite |
is it just me, or are there others who find the mystery behind the shades and red uniform irresistable?
mmmmmmmmmm
are there others who find the mystery behind the shades and red uniform irresistable?
God, who wouldn't?
Im a current and "active" jw---I am also the resident fashionistaI also consider myself the super sexxy boy on the board. Just look at my avatar and youll find out why
You also have a keen grasp of irony and a good sense of humor!
WELCOME TO THE FORUM. HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

this quote is taken from the movie fight club, spoken by edward norton's character "jack.
" tyler, who is jack's imaginary friend, responds by saying: "no, i think you'll find that you're insane.".
the reason tyler says this is the fact that jack is the one who is imagining tyler into existence, and taking him as real.
Ah yes, the metaphor . . . and you used one of my favorite movies, Fight Club, to make yours. The perception of truth is the detection of an analogy.
"The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside of one of His creatures when He made him."
-Jose Ortega y Gasset
Being in the organization is like waiting at the bus stop for too long and you?re holding last year?s bus schedule. Then you say, "Crap! It?s obviously not coming when the schedule says", so you do the prudent thing; you start walking.

today i received a cd-rom of pictures, from various watchtower publications, that contain subliminal images.
it was sent to me anonymously, from somewhere in the north of england.
someone who has my home address but i don't recall anyone in the north who has it.
Get him dh! Tell'em like it is buddy!

Cloud Strife. go to: http://members.cox.net/hunyadi/wtbts_001.htm Probably more images there than that crappy CD has on it. I think I know who is sending the CD out to folks, and while the guy is something of a kook, and while he is going way overboard with his theories and accusations, there is some merit to the hidden images thing.
[I am not talking about the originator of this thread. I am talking about the guy who is sending out that CD]
Look for yourself and you decide for yourself. Either way, the hidden images thing is small potatos compaired to many of the other issues, as I have learned.
