  Are all elders stupid ????

  by Blackcat in

  during a debate with a relative of mine who is an elder, i told him i had a copy of the elders manual (via the net)..the look on his face was a pictue to behold!!!

  his wife could not believe that an ex-dub could possibly be in possesion of the oh so powerfull elders little book of tricks.he told me that the book was for authority and only elders have that authority to have access to the information in the book, is he on a big ego trip or is he just stupid not knowing this book is available to all on the net?

  is,nt it common knowledge amongst elders?

  So What Tipped You Out, Then?

  by Englishman in

  can you remember that distinct moment in your life when you suddenly knew that your time as a jw was truly over?.

  for me, that moment came several years after the removal of my privileges in the congregation when i admitted to having known my then fiance in a way that was not fitting for a ministerial servant.. i was quickly stripped of my 2 servants jobs, group study conducting, pioneer status, public talk giving and praying in the kh.

  i was also forbidden to ever be alone with the lady concerned.. about 15 months later i was assigned a public talk, after 30 minutes i dried up.

  divided families

  by Blackcat in

  why is it that even though your not disfellowshipped or dissasociated and you start questioning the things you thought where truth about the org.

  your so-called family members avoid you like the plague?.i find it quite comical to see how different they treat you, leaving the "truth" and keeping your mouth shut they can handle, but once you start questioning the so-called faithful and discreet slave, all hell breaks loose !!!

  i,ve been accused of being anti-witness,apostate (which i dont mind) and been told that i,ve spat in the face of jah all because i have openly expressed my opinions about the org.

  More JW Labels.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a kid and being forced to sit through hours of jw gobbledygook at the kh, i was always disconcerted by the "witnessy" language that was in use.. looking back now, i can see that having a private language, a language that only makes sense to the in crowd, is just one way in which devotees are bound into jw life.. i`ve recently been intrigued to come across some new and previously unknown phrases.

  this occurred during a lively dicussion with a jw who felt that it was ok to talk to me as he had his very own "private pipeline to jehovah".. i`d just finished telling him how pleased i was that i had bailed out prior to 1975, when he said the following (in bold) phrases which he used over and over again:.

  let me tell you, young man, that i am a servant of the most high god jehovah!

  Is There Something Sinister At The KH?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever since i departed the jw`s, i have pooh - pooh`d the idea of satan, devils, demons, witches and warlocks and laughed at jw paranoia re smurfs and demonised objects etc etc.. just recently, i have had some thoughts as to why jw`s are so obsessive about this subject, suppose that:.

  what if the jw religion were itself of satanic origin?

  consider the facts:.

  by Blackcat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, in a debate with my self-righteous uncle come elder, i tried to tell him about the jimmy swaggert case involving the charging of literiture, and he said the production of magazine,s etc.

  was a miracle from jehovah, is it safe to tell him that some countries still charge for literiture, and if so which ones ??

  is it only countries that conflict with wtbs paying tax ?
