Interesting conversation with a well known Elder in Brooklyn
by pratt1 inon my way home last night from work i ran into a prominent elder from brooklyn.
this guy is always featured at circuit assemblies and his family was presented as the model witiness family in the 80's.
well imagine my shock and surprise when i realized that this dub had just bought a lottery ticket.

Instead of facing REALITY-- he donated his retirement fund to the WTBTS and the New System(tm) is not coming -- he escapes into another fantasy life that he will be magically saved...through the lottery. Typical thinking. Very sad. Grow up brother elder and get a second job on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Give me a break. Jeboobah will understand. But he couldn't manage to keep his "organization" from misleading 6 million people. "Jehovah will understand that I was tricked and misled by Jehovah's organization" that's what he's really saying.
Damn fools.

Job Description for a G.B. member?
by link inhaving explained to my "ever loving" how you do not need money to live like a millionaire, i get told that nobody in the world works as hard as the members of the governing body.
their schedule of writing tasks, world travel and giving talks at conventions and assemblies is exhausting because it is never ending.
they never have time to draw breath before their next assignment and their busy schedules would kill many people half their age.. is this correct?

As a JW, Did You Ever Get Away With Anything That Was a DF'ing Offense??
by minimus inif it had become known, would you have possibly gotten into major trouble and either be put on restrictions or recieved disfellowshipping action?

Well I guess going to the Sunday meeting still tripping on acid would have done it. LOL - Not to glamourize drug use - that was definitely not a better road to go down. And the meeting was hell. I flip-flopped between being a JW Postergirl and a rebellious kid. I made out with boys, snuck out of my house in the middle of the night, drank a lot, did drugs, etc. I finally got tired of everyone expecting me to pioneer when I graduated from high school and turned myself in and got DF'ed. I guess it was just a matter of time.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I'm glad to hear the JW's didn't act like asses at the funeral.
I have often wondered if my mom died - would they even call me? So I'm glad to hear some of them can pull it together when need be.
(((((((Sorry again for your loss.))))))))))))

A special message for everyone who was young in1969....
by Elsewhere inif you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things?
.all evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years?
as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

Elsewhere - I was born in '67. That's a great article!! Damn fools!!
I'm so glad I won't get old - my birthday's coming up and I've been thinking a bit about the gray hairs, bursitis and wrinkles that are cropping up. Glad to know I will definitely NOT get old!

Where were God's chosen ppl between bible times and late 1800's?
by Lecari12RuleU inhas anyone else ever wondered where god's "chosen people" were in the hundreds of years between when jesus was alive in bible days and when charles t. russell came onto the scene and started the bible students in the late 1890's?
if jw's are god's "chosen religion" then wouldn't his ppl have records of their being around the whole time?
this does not make any sense to me.

They were just chillin' --- waiting on Jehovah to send Russell. Man, think of it....no meetings, no field service, no committee meetings...that would have been the best time to be His chosen people!

Are you an atheist? ...
by Nicolas inpersonally, i consider myself as a "soft-atheist".
i don't believe in god but i keep an open mind and if someone can come with a real proof of god's existence, i'll take it.
for now, i consider that believing in god, is just as silly as believing in santa claus.

I do believe in God....and I do not understand God. God is just what I call the higher order to the universe or the positive energy. I don't know. I just know there is something other than the physical world - something more powerful than me and you. I definitely do not believe in the OT god or the biblical creation story.

Welcome to JWD Sid.
I am addicted too. I think at first especially. It is extremely validating to know that others have experienced things that I have, until now, been unable to even put into words. The people here make it funny, make it make sense and provide support and encouragement. I never knew I could get that anywhere. I felt so alone in my experience of being a DF'ed JW.
I don't take it with a grain of salt. Our experiences are real. I know that when I found out I had been so betrayed and lied to in the name of GOD - it was hard to trust anything. Sort it out for yourself. I, for one, have no need to lie to you.
