simple.... .
watchtower + meme !.
anything is acceptable, but make your meme your own, hand written scrawls on microsoft paint are just as funny so don't worry about quality.
"i slay and pray" :).
serena williams knows how to own a red carpet.
the 23-time grand slam champion turned heads at the vanity fair oscars afterparty, dazzling in a midnight-black, off-shoulder gown.

Valuable lesson for all young JW's, wait till you are older to be baptized.
beans ?
( human beans ).
to those of you that believe in god: do you all believe the same thing ?.
He eats MONEY that's why churches are always asking for more.
just finished season 1 on netflix.. holy crap, i had no idea of the history of the mormons!.
i always thought they were like the jws, or the quakers, but they were full on fascists committing massacres.. i'm sure they are hating having more people be aware of their past, but i gotta say, it is more event-filled than the jw history..

I never made that connection with William Penn and Pennsylvania, good point.
2 More episodes left fascinating history. Mormons have got to hate this series.
Makes me feel a little better only being a Ex Jehovah Witness.
One thing you have to give credit to them, they know how to accumulate wealth.

All intelligent wealthy people, brain washed CRAZY!
just in.
a jaw dropping announcements and reminders for elders this month.
how can you serve as an elder and believe this organization is spirit directed after reading this letter?.
Now with the internet, I guess elders don't need to have their sexual fantasy's fulfilled by couples confessions.
since i faded i've told a few people at work about having been raised in this organization but i found that most people don't really get what it is like at all.
they just focus on not celebrating holidays as if that is the worst thing about growing up jw.
i didn't explain much because it's too much for most people to handle.
Only a Jehovah Witness can understand the profound affect it has on your life to be one.
Leaving Watchtower is like pulling a tree out of the ground, the tree is the cult and the ground is your mind.
It leaves a hole and the ground is all disturbed.
One of the most difficult things I ever done.

i have never been so convinced wts blood policy is evil and wrong.
.
Never heard of him, interesting story.
I'm sure the cult leaders would explain, it's not whole blood it's only a fraction of the blood so it's ok. Also before 1950ish it would be ok. Although before 1974ish you would be disfellowshipped and condemned for taking it
After all, Jehovah never changes!
i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.
mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.
i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.
It's the ole red pill, blue pill dilema.
I personally want to be fully awake and know the truth. Red pill all the way!
I would classify myself as POMA but not agnostic to the JW belief system, agnostic to the Christian belief system. With that said, I also want to believe the mainstream Christian faith. What else is there? I don't believe we just randomly developed out of amino acids.
Every JW reaches a fork in the road where they have the ole red pill, blue pill dilema. I've seen it happen several times, friends and close family members. Usaully they take the blue pill which is the least path of resistance and problems. In the end though it is the wrong choice and causes more problems.
