there was a disfellowshipped jw that came to the witness now for jesus convention in pennsylvania.
we all tried to show him the error of the jw way but he is just so blinded that he couldn't understand what the problem is with jws (can you believe it?!
) we tried until we were blue in the face and it seemed that with every step we went forward with him one day, we went back two the next.

i was stupified that i was not shunned, as has been my treatment most of the time for the past 3 years.. i walked into the coffee-shop on my way home.
it was cold and i wanted a warm brew to keep me company.
as i approached the counter to order, a strangely familiar fellow was right in front of me.
Greetings AK - Jeff,
If only more people like him, could just lose the "Oh there's Mr DF'd" babyshit attitude.

i got a pm from gumby this morning.
as i predicted, he's being love-bombed by the congregation and invited out everywhere.
part of this is because he was very popular before and is a very likeable guy, but part of it is to try and suck him back in so thoroughly, he'll never be able to escape.
Greetings Mary,
I surmise that means the Gumster has been re-instated? Well he needs to remember the old dub adage, "You reap what you sow". He'll just have to suffer through the love-bombing. Plus he deserves it.. I tip my hat to him.

where the hell have i been?
ummmmmmmm... i've been in love!.
it's been so long i don't even know where to begin...... well... i guess it all began here at jwd... the beauty of it all, it that this is not a dating website, and the very fact that i was falling in love with a person whom i had no idea of her physical appearance... i was falling for her inner beauty and strenght to leave everything she knew to be happy, to live life.... i had finally met a person who understood me, and i could relate to her stories.... i had met my new best friend, but didn't know it yet... things progressed..... we emailed (which later led to unsolicited photos from her).... then exchanged phone numbers, etc..... then before i know it she had convinced me to purchace an airplaine ticket to meet her.
Congrats GG/BG,
I'm not surprised. I knew you'd be a beautiful woman. Hope all is well with you.

Greetings oppgirl63,
"Youngest 10 years old". It makes me wonder why the heck Jesus (The Exemplar) dragged his feet for so long and waited 'til he was 30. Perhaps he wanted to get past the bloomayouth?
10 years old. How cruel

i will use my other thread today to talk about gilead.. one must apply for several years to show they are serious, unless you know a gb member or another heavy in the service dept.
a couple first gets a long app in the mail usually after several years of applying at the dc.
it is over 115 questions.
Greetings AllTimeJeff,
Thanks for taking the time to give us a "birds-eye-view" of Gilead. Not much is ever said about what goes on. I knew a married couple who were Gilead Grads. After their "tour of duty" in Mombasa, they came back with swelled heads and strutted around like peacocks. Thanks for a real insiders look!

i've got extended family that live out of state who are active witnesses and my husband's father is an elder.
my family is so not a part of our lives, that the only time we speak are for funerals.
i don't even hear about births anymore.

They do not deserve to be invited. They'll only take pleasure in not attending.
Invite them and you'll runin your party! Mark my words!

ive been "in the truth" ever since i was 6 years old when my mother was baptised in the late 70`s.
so i sort of got dragged along to the meetings and therin started the indoctrination that was to prove to be my undoing.
ive been reading this page for a while now and read some very slick posts from dissillusioned ex members.
Greetings The salmon,
...the hypocrisy, the turning of the blind eye to sin, depending on who you are, but now I've had enough. I`m finally that salmon who is willing to lose all those so called "friends",
Welcome to a place where you'll find many like-minded people. You've said a mouthful!. Cheers to you The salmon.

my mum is still technically a jw.
i say technically, cuz she has no intention of dying from boredom by going to a meeting.
so i'm cool with it.
Greetings Vivamus,
From the standpoint of "they couldn't be more wrong" and what they're proclaiming, won't-- be happening. I'm like a pig in a poke whenever I hear someone I knew has left that dreadful cult.
