Never have to wear pantyhose again!

Can wear whatever I want when I want!

oh and can have whatever friends I want! Love that part especially!

Read whatever books I want without being told it's a waste of time!

Why Do Some Ex-JWs Get Their Feelings Hurt So Badly By Shunning?

by RottenRiley in

i ran in to a ex-jw and had a good laugh once he realized i was not going to shun him.

i am a different soul when we are dealing with watchtower demonology, everything about the organization is fan boy based.

watchtower creates the illusion of a community that never existed, we were too blind to realize most of the people we invested time with was nothing more than a farce, once you can't offer up more sacrfices on the watchtower's alter, your going to get less attention and eventually if your kingdom hall is big enough, they won't come looking for you.. .

And how about the family members that are baptized but just able to leave with

absolutely no consequences (my cousin) and she isn't shunned to this day. She

told me I could leave the JW at any time, she did. Well I left and then had elders stalking me 2 years

later looking for anything they could find to DF me. Of course they got their evidence since

they showed up to my communal house unannounced while a big party was going on.

I hate the double standard and the picking and choosing of who gets shunned or not

depending on how rich you are in the congo. It's a nasty practice and it's not out of LOVE like they say at

all!! So I get to watch her be included in every wedding and every other event JW but not me! I dont' see any

difference in what she did compared to what I did, I wanted out and moved away from home. She married a non

believer and no reproof no nothing. I was sanctioned very harshly and will never understand why. The only

explanation I can come up with that my cousin's family has much money more than mine so they didn't

want to miss out on any possibly donations from my cousin's JW mother. nice!!!

THE GB/WBATS ARE RATTLING THE FENCE...

by ADJUSTMENTS in

for all those who are still hanging on to the figurative fence, the gb/wbats do not like you.

with the many recent successive adjustments, changes, new light and new bible, fear tactics and the new meaning of gods name, many who were on the fence have went to their respective sides of the fence.

wether that side is the brainwashed, cult following, ultra jw side, or the eyes opened, i can see ttatt, i want out side, this is what they want.

How long can someone "study" before they are "encouraged" to become baptised and go out in

service? I have a cousin who is playing the game perfectly, she never went for the WTBTS when she was

growing up (she's born in) but now at 33 has decided to attend meetings and "study" with someone and has been

doing this for about 2 years now but no field service just attending meetings. Seems to work great for her

since the congo she's in has several 30 somethings to party and drink with but so far no field service. I know

people don't have to be baptised to go out in service but it seems to be at some point she won't be able to

continue the fence sitting that she's been doing for so long and so well.

Anyone know anyone on the RBC here in Seattle? My mother was talking about my cousin being on it

and "how much work it was" and how they are looking to buy more property to build more KH's etc. And how

they are remodeling some etc. Of course all I can think of is scam scam scam but of course she would never

see it that way. Just wondering if anyone had any inside knowledge on what they are up to around here?

Was John Casino in the Pacific NW? I seem to remember him well. What about Kin and MaryJo Sueon (pronouced Shin)?

I have a great story about Kin, he wanted me to be his mistress! No lie! Just made me wonder how many other ones he

had!

What was the subject of the Watchtower Study this past Sunday?

by Lynnie in

i have a psycho cousin that has decided to go back to the jw's after never wanting to be a jw even though.

now in her early thirties she's decided to join up.

i heard her say something about this.

Lynnie

Hmmm very interesting. Wonder why my cousin thought it was so fricking wonderful? I'll never understand people

who go back to this stuff after clearly not wanting anything to do with it prior. I guess the pressure of being separated from

family is too much for her. However I'm sure she'll be one of those people that will study forever and never get baptised and

never go out in service since her father is a uber elder. After all that might cut into her hobby of going to rock concerts every week. But in the meantime she's getting love bombed to death and lots of attention which is what she thrives on. Whatever!

Sunday's WT was her favorite "to date". Very curious as to the subject matter. Can anyone let me know?

Thanks!

So Jw's are allowed to celebrate baby showers, but not birthdays?? huh??

by nolongerconfused in

jw
friends

perhaps, one of the most arrogant and contradicting behaviors of jdubs.... what is the difference between celebrating a baby shower and a birthday?...they both have ancient origins, from pagan people, including egyptians and the greek.... have you guys noticed any other hypocrite celebrations/behaviors jdubs engage in?.

Lynnie

Seems to me that wedding anniversaries are right in the same catagory! I know some folks here in Seattle that go all out for anniversary parties.

Seems to me you are bringing too much attention to that couple but WTF do I know?

Pioneer School - 2 weeks long???

by Lynnie in

i talked to my 83 year old pioneer mother over the weekend and she said she's going.

pioneer school for 2 weeks starting today in lynnwood, wa.

is that how long they usually are?.

Lynnie

I think this is the third time my mom has attended too! You're right is probably more of a social thing

than anything else for her.
