his entire family is in, but not in the same cong.
we made it to the region convention and one sunday meeting after that.

third post about the big disappointments that woke me up.
i'm writing them in no particular order.
these episodes made me bitter when they happened.
I despise COs and their wives; as nice as the wife can be, make no mistake, she is in total cahoots with the 'company man', actually a spy oh sorts among the sisters.
No green handshake, meal offerings or any other special consideration from me! The last couple of times they've visited, we have has turned down invites to take them out to eat to local restaurants.
Conceited, condescending leeches!!!

after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Once poisoned by this site, one can never stay away. Believe me, I have tried.
Welcome back!!!

a friend of mine visited australia and to his surprise there were no jw carts on streets.. wonder if it was just a coincidence or is it due to media attention that arc has created?.
Good!!!
With all the recent horrible publicity, you would be a lunatic to stand next to a JW cart in Australia.

my wife is shunning me.
she is always in cult mode, we don't talk anymore, we don't sleep in the same bed.
i have been sleeping on the couch.
DJS nailed it.

when i became an elder i saw the dark side.
a side i previously believed couldn't possibly exist in the one true religion of the happiest people on earth.. then they rolled out 'overlapping generations(tm)' and that was the last straw.. all my life i had doubts but surpressed them thinking i was at fault and not the cult leaders.. it seems more likely that now the governing body are parading around like popes, wearing their expensive jewellery, that this will nauseate even dyed in the wool jws.. i wonder if the wake up can be condensed into main categories?.
1. experiencing the cruel handling of matters by the wbt$ reps.. 2. crazy doctrine (eg.
The new theory of 'generation' back in1995 immediately made me think "this is bull shit!"

there is no end to their madness.
the co gave a talk on inspired error.
i have never heard of it.
I detest COs and the wife. Company men is all they are. Sooooooo fake!!!
If you want a little bit of attention, better give them a worthy 'green handshake'!

Well, he will be unpleasantly surprised when he visits our cong as all youngsters that have graduated high school do attend college, a couple online.
About the media, the Spanish congs are oblivious as to JWs and any reports on them be it good or bad. It is all a social club to most of all.

living with 4 other guys.
"good morning, richard!
richard is almost never in the house.
It will be a fun chapter in your life. Enjoy as you reminisce of younger, vibrant times.
The stories will keep me hooked as you are a great story teller.
Glad you found a good setting.
