I once had a day dream of what would happen if I were to suffer from amnesia and forgotten about my past disfellowshipping. Would I in my ignorance return to the JWs if that's the last thing I remember? Maybe I would but I would soon leave even if I didn't remember the TTATT.

Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ini could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

Met JWs today - they lied about who they were
by Xanthippe inso a couple came into the library where i work today and the woman said she was from the british sign language association and asked if i would display a leaflet for her.
when she handed me the leaflet the jw website logo jumped out at me as did the words 'would you like to study the bible with jehovah's witnesses?
' there was a small picture that had someone conversing in sign language but the other pictures were typical jw leaflet pictures.

It was a small leaflet on my door that got me in at the vulnerable age of 14.
I used to go to different laundromats on my route between work and home to do my magazine purge.
On one occasion the owner confronted me and said that he wanted me to leave the magazines so that the customers would have some reading material. Of course, he had no clue as to what that implied and, being an introvert, I did not tell him why I was doing it.

@Xanthippe. Next they come by tell them that you're on to them and that they could get arrested for misrepresenting themselves. I don't think they'll want to come back.

OUTLAW,
"Lot's of people pee in the pool"
True story; I sh!t you not. When I was 10 I would go to the community swimming pool. One day everyone who was in the pool was asked by the custodian to get out. An employee took a fishing net attached to a pole and scooped something out from the bottom of the pool. It was a waterlogged turd.

Snowbird,
Urine is a good disinfectant.
It's also a good fertilizer for your vegetable garden.

Would This Be Adultery?
by FedUpJW ini just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.
the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.
considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

For df: Yes! We're in the mood to ask all sorts of bizarre questions at the judicial committee!
Against df: It's a man's heart that commits the sin.
Which answer fits best?
Coming up next: Counting angels dancing on the head of a pin.

Do you find it therapeutic coming to this site?
by UnshackleTheChains ini read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.
it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.
it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.

Yes, especially the social/political threads and encouraging posters who have recently come out of the JWs.

“I was sexually abused by a Jehovah’s Witness elder as a child”
Tara was an innocent 8-year-old when a religious elder abused her.
Tara, 35, from Queensland shares her story:
As I browsed the shelves in my local supermarket, a familiar green label caught my eye.
It’s just a tin of Milo, I tried to tell myself.
I don't get it. What does a tin of Milo have to do with her situation? How did it trigger her memory?
