I'd make it a point to exhale heavily when I spoke to them, so they'd have to suffer through my garlic breath.Once it was even mentioned in a local needs™ part, but it didn't stop me from doing it regularly.
a local needs, r u serious? what was their defense for that? LMFAO!!!!!
from the "official" wt site comes this gem:.
for a man who was a child molester before he was baptized, there may be another consequence.
when he learns the truth, he repents and turns around, not bringing that cruel sin into the congregation.
Strange too that in the magical world of WT "repentance" is the damage done to the abused child taken into consideration, just read the WT pubs, go to meetings etc etc ad nauseum.
agreed---there is way too much leeway and rights given to the abuser.....SICK SICK SIC
Are you looking for someone / something in particular?
no just wanted to meet some new ppl
i do
but u live in cali :(
i stumbled across this site last august and created an account but a series of events led me to run away (i can post the story if you like) and i have been moving around a bit until i finally got settled some.
along the way due to my mother's sheltering i had some bad experience because i didn't know as much about the real world as i should have.
i ingested as i have before a psychoactive one night and a surge of memories came rushing back to me of my childhood and a massive handfull of them were tied to the time i was made to endure going to the kingdom hall and socializing with many members outside of.
Thanks everyone. I just got off the phone with my mom and .... does anyone find it hard to talk with their mom if they are a JW and you are a former?
yes at first.....but shes mom and she will always love me....lol

Sin
so the other day my family and i were surfing the net...and came upon this and other websites about the use of subliminal messages in the j.w.
books and magazines.
the web sight below is one of the better ones and creepy ones!!
Off the dollar bill link. Anytime you have to manipulate the art, fold, twist, hold upside down, hold up to a mirror, stand on one leg close one eye and swing a dead cat around your head while jumping up and down in a bucket of cow shit you are way way beyond reality!
true.....buuuuuut all the symbolism and things like the pyramids and such were created by ppl in govt who were freemasons
someone in a completely different segment of associates from you old ex-jws here posed this wish:.
i've often wished someone would do a study to see if there is a real correlation between personality type and religious/spiritual leanings.
i've long noticed that in fantasy subcultures and "new" religions, as well as those that attract many adult converts (and have trouble retaining people born into the faith), the same types keep showing up.
There are certain types that are less religious/spiritual than others
would u post it here....i am interested also, ty
i read an excerpt from the book of mary stating that she was a perpetual virgin....joseph was quite up in age and was a widower with children, but was a god-fearing man and so did not sleep with her and kept her chastity...the only reason she was married was because that was apparently the law back then....so "thru god" he was chosen to take care of mary and jesus....apparently he did not have a long life after raising jesus.
jesus was born in a cave and later when everyone was called to their birthplace...joseph, mary, and family all went to bethlehem...with no room in the inn they were in the stables but jesus was already born by then and quite possibly no longer an infant.
this is very interesting to me because i was taught that mary did not stay a virgin (jw teachings) cause the bible mentions that jesus had brothers and sister, but this very well could have been josephs children from a previous marriage.... the excerpt came from a book called "lost books of the bible" by rh value publishing.
I don't know where the info that Joseph was an old man with children from a previous wife comes from. How do we know that he was not young and never had an ex wife and her children
i read it in one of those "lost" books of the bible and was curious to see what everyone thought

What is truly sad is the way Joseph totally bought her story... what a pssy
- She did what most single women do when they go to an exotic European country like Italy or France... they hook up with some stud muffin and do the nasty.
LMFAO!!!!!!
my mother once told me a story of how john denver supposedly hated jehovah's witnesses more then life itself.
my legend, these are two examples i heard while in the witnesses .... 1. at a john denver concert, he once asked all jehovah's witnesses in the audience to leave.. 2. johnny carson once asked him if he did this, and when he said he did, johnny carson asked him to leave the show in rehearsal and re-booked someone else.. ... awhile back i started looking on the internet for information on this and could not see any proof of this and wondered if anyone ever heard this before or was it just something that was in our area.
i have a feeling it is something others heard of.
i also heard that he loved the witnesses and asked them to leave cuz he was going to tell some "dirty" jokes
