mass mailing to get DF'ed

by mineralogist in

.

if i would write a letter to all members of my congregation stating "i had a jc and will be df'ed and this would be announced in near future" - would i get df'ed or would the wts consider this daing?

write a letter to the editorial section of your local paper as a "final goodbye" to your life long friends. or take out an ad with an email address you can be reached at... maybe you can put a flyer on all the cars during a meeting. or a "goodbye" sign up on the telephone pole as they exit the kingdom hall.

i'm sorry you are going through this...and that your crazy anti-jw self will be "announced," it's stressful, sick and just so damn unnatural to go through.

but, the fact is...once you are disfellowshipped or about to be, anything you do will not be taken seriously. you are with Satan now, so sad...too bad. "we hope you come back soon."

Why do some here refer to themselves as "Apostates"?

by Netty in

jw
friends

the only real definition of apostate i ever had was from being raised a witness.

so, i have this idea that it is an evil, wicked thing.

because of that i dont like to call myself an apostate.

Magick

"apostate" has taken on new meanings to exjws.

i'm proud to call myself an apostate or to associate with other apostates...because it means i woke up. i am no longer a jw drone, but a free thinker.

most "apostates" i have met are far more intelligent, creative, witty than any jw i can remember. plus, apostates are waaaaaayyyy cooler!

there's some sarcastic humor in calling ourselves "apostate" ... (if there's one thing we exjws are good at it's sarcasm) plus...by changing the core meaning of the word, playing around with the way it is spelled etc...we take the jw's evil sting out of it.

i remember when i first became semi-comfortable with the word...(about 4 years ago) i would come up with silly "apostate" screen names and haunt jws in chat rooms. it's sick and twisted...but, that's why it was so fun. (i'm a much more mature apostate now) lol

What is your Favorite Scene from a Movie?

by Sweetp0985 in

i thought about this topic last night for the board when watching one of my favorite movies.. 1. the man from snowy river- the part when they are going after the expensive colt and they get to the edge of the cliff and all the other riders stop and "jim" keeps going and leaps down the cliff after the wild horses.

i absolutely love that part of the movie...everytime its on i have to watch it, if not just to see this part only.. 2. love and basketball- when she tells him she will play for his heart...awwww first time i started crying.

and then the music they had playing in the background made it even worse.

ok...it's sappy, but...

i loved the wedding singer.

when robbie hart (Adam Sandler) sang this song to drew on the plane.....*sniff*

Grow old with you

I wanna make you smile whenever you?re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I?ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I?ll miss you
I?ll kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

I?ll need you
I?ll feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you?ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

What is WT position on Hermaphrodites?

by badboy in

.

?.

Magick

anyone who is anything outside of the biblical "norm" of woman/man; wife/husband; male/female will rarely if ever be baptized or given responsibility in the congregation. i'm sure he/she will be allowed to study and attend meetings, but that's about it. unless that person never tells a soul and chooses to completely look and act as one gender.

according to the child welfare league of american the term "hermaphrodite" is out dated. the politically correct term is:

Intersexed. Generally applied to individuals born with ambiguous genitalia (an outdated term would be hermaphrodite). In the past, most intersexed individuals have had surgery shortly after birth in an attempt to give them an "identifiable" gender. There is now much discussion about this practice, but so far little has changed. Parents often feel forced to make a quick decision with little information. Most intersexed persons are raised as female.

here's some interesting info about Gender Identity Disorder (transexuals) and Jehovah's Witnesses (it also mentions the intersexed):

As a JW, Did You Ever Look DownOn Other Witnesses???

by minimus in

jw
friends

and were you ever looked down upon?

Magick

If you are a white male living in bethel and part of the governing body

you are on top of the pyramid?

every thing and every one trickle down from you

kinda like amway.

You are superior by:

Race=White
Gender=Male
Nationality=American (cuz everyone knows American's are superior lol) Religion=Jehovah?s Witness (only saved)
Position=Elite/Select/Governing Body
Spirituality=Chosen and talked to by god
Power=Millions look up and listen to you

Of course the things you write or order to be written (for the lowly followers) will have (and teach) that air of superiority?because this is how you are brain washed?and consciously or unconsciously you in turn brain wash others

into thinking they also can be superior like yourself. (sound familiar? see "the garden of eden")

Little pyramids are created across the world through Districts and Circuits and Congregations and Families.

A little superiority goes a long way.

by Country Girl in

Munchkins:
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
Mayor:
As Mayor of the Munchkin City, In the County of the Land of Oz, I welcome you most regally.
Barrister:
But we've got to verify it legally, to see
Mayor:
To see?
Barrister:
If she
Mayor:
If she?
Barrister:
Is morally, ethic'lly
Father No.1:
Spiritually, physically
Father No. 2:
Positively, absolutely
Munchkins:
Undeniably and reliably Dead
Coroner:
As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead.
Mayor:
Then this is a day of Independence For all the Munchkins and their descendants
Barrister:
If any.
Mayor:
Yes, let the joyous news be spread The wicked Old Witch at last id dead!

i've thought about this one...

...the news will go around like a bad cold "did you hear the satan worshipping apostate is dead?" "i'm so glad she died before armageddon...now maybe she'll have a chance!" "that's what you get when you leave Jehovah's Organization... this is a lesson for us." "i heard it was a suicide" "i heard she died during a Satanic ritual." "i heard her husband poisoned her because he got tired of hearing all that Apostate stuff." "she should have stayed a witness...none of this would have happened!"

a few may come...just to see what a dead apostate looks like...

then they'll all go out to Denny's... gossip about me some more, make a horrible mess and "forget" to leave a tip.

You may think I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May...

by SixofNine in

...perhaps even a cliche come true.
