early this morning, i was stopped at a service station dealing with a mechanical issue with my motorcycle.
i was approached by 2 young men who pro-offered some of your reading material.
i deeply regret that i was very unkind; in actual fact, i was quite mean in my response to them.
I encounter a few meanies here and there in the territory, but it means nothing to me....ever. The average JW knows that for the most part the message is not well received. So, don't sweat it.
Try to be kinder to people in general no matter what their message when approached nicely.

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.
bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.
i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.
He became a self fulfilling prophesy, like so many others: Leave the org and become just another tool of Satan.
What a different outcome if he only remained a JW and put into practice what the Bible teaches us all about love and morality.
All of a sudden, wasting time preaching door to door, giving Bible studies, attending meetings or other JW activities seem like a better alternative than what this nut job did.
Although he may have been raised a JW, he did not remain a JW because he was not their kind, as his actions now clearly show it.

why won't they (the wbt$ head honchos), simply change policy on sex offenders?
will they?..especially after the arc for eg?
it seems that with all the bad press and now the arc among other institutions that are exposing the wbt$ for a haven for paedophiles, why hasn't the wbt$ simply changed it's insane policy?.
It will not change, as much as we would like to see it done.
Unless it becomes law for all other religious orgs, forget about it.

in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.
so what woke me up?
an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.
1995 generation "new light". I decided it was nothing more than making bs up as they go along. Mentally, I have been out ever since.

An eye for an eye is a good policy in this instance. Yes, he should die.

the cognitive dissonance amongst jws has never been more obvious to me then what i just experience in the last 5 min.
long story short i had a phone conversation w/my mom about some things and i mentioned to her to look up what has been going on with their beloved organization in australia.
brother geoffrey jackson of the holy governing body was caught lying numerous times about several subjects including disassociations & shunning.
A vast majority of JWs, in the Spanish side that is, are in for pure social and familiar interaction. We could not care any less about doctrinal crap.
And child abuse?! Big whoop-dee-doo, that is everywhere, and I mean everywhere!!! Along with all other ailments of our own human imperfection.

okay, i don't even know where to start.
i'm 16, i live in a strict jw household and i know if i am pregnant (which is a big possibility) ..i know i'm doomed to a life of misery.
not because of my baby but because of my family and the isolation and judgement from the congregation.
There are many handouts for young girls in your situation, here in the States anyway. Move out and continue conducting your life the non-JW way. Stop blaming others for your behavior.
Did you at least pick a good person to screw around with? Perhaps there will be help there.
It is loathesome when people blame others for situations they create for themselves.

just wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.
i mean, has anyone made up business cards or tracts and spread them far and wide?
i would love to engage in this "alternative witnessing".
Encouraging young ones to further their education as much as possible.

the annointed elder decides to help him to return to jehovah.5 the other elders find out and decide to remove him as elder because he is living and helping a df person and the annointed bro cannot move out because he does not have enough money.
Poopie,
That sounds just like a bs story full of holes. Get your facts straight.
