Hey AK - Jeff,
Been kind of on a hiatus, but still lurking all the time. Great question BTW

i have gone thru phases with this.
i sometimes have forced jw's who shun me to speak, or be embarrassed if they don't.
then i let up on that as the hurting lessened over time.

my bf and i have been together for about 2 years.
he has this ex gf from college who he stayed friends with.
i am not the jealous type so i never cared even though he had a problem with me being friendly with my exes.
Greetings UB,
Send her a copy of the the Roy Orison song: It's Over
Your baby doesn't love you any more
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you any more
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over
It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do
When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows any more
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

A resounding YES. I do and, will continue to use, watchtowers sick perverted teachings right back at them. Living in a small town, the chances of running in to my "former love buddies" are many. Consequently they've been shunned by me. Not that it makes one bit of difference to those drones. If the situation arises where I have to embarrass them because of their bad watchtower behavior then I will. Example: In a general store the other day, one of the drones works there. If she were to attempt to cash me out at the register, I was going to tell the owner of the general store that she cannot wait on me due to her religious convictions and that she considers me a walking dead man. I'm not sure what would have happened, but I will be willing to try. They are not nice people once they consider you an outsider. So they need to buck up for some harassment from me. If they don't like it they can apologize for the sick, perverted bad behavior they believe in. If not they can all go straight to hell, and/or kiss my ass.
That's my attitude as it stands now

i was 16 and not a clue in the world what i was getting into..... how about you?
how old were you?.
21 just call me shitforbrains
Dismembered
: how old were you when baptized as a jw?.
i thought i would bring this up to another thread, because i saw that my old friend gary busselmen and others were baptised so young, as i was.
i recall a few years ago that a wt rag showed a picture of a little girl, not more than 8 or 9 years old being baptised into a life that she has no idea what it means for her for the rest of her life in dubland.. this reminds me of the hitler youth near the end of wwii: brainwashed, young and vulnerable.. here are my comments on the other thread.
I had to get baptized to marry the woman I'm now divorced from. 1975 Talk about the shit end of the stick.

and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.
so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.
all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.
Welcome cognac,
As you can see and have read, the knowledge and experience the members of this JWD board have is impeccable. You've landed right in the middle of the largest conglomerate of people who have been, where you are now. The best thing you can do to help you with your new found conumdrum is spend time here. Read Read Read.
BTW: I know many from Tewksbury.

i'm new here and am hoping to get some support and become normal again.
i'm going to tell my story below, sorry in advance for how long it is, but i've really gotta get a grip on who i am now and what i need to do.
since before my baptism and for four years, my children and i attended every meeting.
Greetings Mia,
If they attempt to contact you, tell them to kiss your ass.

when you see the word or hear it----what do you think of??
?
A cult run by pompous pricks
Dismembered
folks,.
with all the information out there, available for all to see; exposing the lies,hypocrisy, and outright ridiculousness (is that a word?..if not it should be) of this whole witness religion, how in the world are people still buying into this?.
is it because i don't have jehovah's spirit anymore?
Touche Jackie!
You hit the nail on the head for at least the small percentage [my opinion] of intellectuals that are part of the watchtower cult. In addition, I'd like to add that those in powers of postion a.k.a. "elders" ardently desire to keep bossing, pushing, instructing, the drone yesmen and yeswomen that woo them. Some in that arena, are made to feel like movie stars, and would never give it up.
