Setting a good example for your JW fam...
by AuSet inthis came up in a conversation the other day, and i'm wondering if any of you have ever thought about this.
now that i'm an apostate, i've come to realize that that term is not synonymous with being a total screw-up.
in other words, i haven't really succumbed to all of those "bad" things that i was told would happen to me if i ever left the truth.

eating the emblems AFTER memorial...
by AuSet insorry this is a little late for a memorial post, but did any of ya'll eat the emblems like it was just ordinary food immediately after the memorial?
they always did this at my kh, even the elders would be handing it out and we always would fight over who got a piece of the "bread.
" this usually occured out in the parking lot after most of the new/interested people had already high tailed it outta there.

beauty, brains, money....no luck!
by AuSet inmy sister, who is still in, has just recently graduated from college (four year university) with a good degree and has landed a great job.
its likely that she will never meet a jw man who is completely compatible with her, as she is educated, smart, and makes more money than about half her cong.
combined.

new exJWs
by AuSet inthis is just a message for anyone who is newly df'd, da'd, or otherwise inactive...also to anyone who is in contact with those exjws who may not be in the best mental state right now.
the events which occured yesterday were very frightening, especially to those whose minds are still infiltrated with wtbts type thinking.
there are many jws out there who currently think this could be the start of the great tribulation.

Pow Wow
by AuSet intoday i attended a native american pow wow for the first time in my life.
i live in an area that is highly populated by native people, and in fact my most of my congregation's territory was within the boundaries of a reservation.
i often wondered why we would spend so much time and effort trying to convert people who were obviously satisfied with their beliefs.

"The Note"
by AuSet inat the 1994 district convention in bismark, north dakota, (could possibly have been 93) my sister wrote a note to her friend and tossed it in the garbage.
the note contained a discussion about going to boy's hotel rooms after the sessions ended, and other troublesome activities, including lying to the parents about what my sister and her friend were doing.. presumably, an attendant found this note in the garbage and turned it into the elders.
on the last talk of the last day of the convention, the note was read out loud to the entire audience, along with the warning that "whoever you are, we will find you.
