  What Would It Take

  by NestleBoy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few months back i remembered a newbie asked in this forum what would it take for a current witness to "go over the edge".

  in other words what would it take, personally as a witness, to stop going to meetings or to just quit being a jw?

  what would you have to learn or see?

  ...and this guy approached me with a one million dollar bill, and then he spoke something about jesus and i acted interested. he told me about a website that was on the bill...

  Was he a big kid from NorthCarolina named Richie?? Sounds like his apostate convention checks...

  Sorry, j/k.

  I still get creeped out when 'christians' approach me. I find most of them to be very judgemental. Seems like a good opportunity for you to talk and explore. Maybe even attend a meeting or two.

  Please don't join them. Then we'll be getting the 'How do I get out of THIS cult?' threads...

  Nope. I don't.

  And I don't think most 'worldly' people do either. I would guess that they think 'cult', 'Watchtower', maybe 'Jehovah'. Then they wonder: "What's a Jehovah?"

  Coffee Mug

  Vase

  Something local to your area

  One of the books released this year by EX-witnesses (please NOT something released at the convention! )

  Christmas Decoration

  Home accent colors: Sage; Grey; Cream

  A housekeeper or a handyman for a day...

  Lee -

  So sorry read this sad episode.

  I am the oldest of 5 and the youngest is 21 years younger than me. There have been so many nights where I've cried myself to sleep over fright for what could happen with him.

  At the moment he seems to be doing well and I just hope he stays clean and out of trouble.

  Some witness kids just have so much pain in them that they just can't ever seem to settle it.

  May the pleasant memories of time with Robin stay with you always. The pictures are sweet.

  Seems you ruined her sole opportunity to have just a hint of a worldly holiday...

  It's her right to do so. And her obligation to ban you from the same because you are... umm worldly??

  Cults suck.

  Your article was nicely done. I hope the paper accepts and publishes it.

  "I Took the Blue Pill", to the tune of "Margaritaville"

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this only makes sense if you're familiar with the red pill/blue pill decision faced in the movie "the matrix".

  if you aren't familiar with it, and don't mind finding out without watching the movie, you can read about it here: http://www.arrod.co.uk/essays/matrix.php.

  (i'd just tell you, but i don't want to spoil it for you if you'd rather see the movie first.).

  Dave and Dan - Parody geniuses...!!

  Ooops! Did Dan hijack Dave's thread. Oh well...

  We I still enjoyed it.

  Does anyone know the link to an old thread that parodies "Another One Bites The Dust"? It was used when people finally left the org. I thought it was also very, very clever and wish I could find it again.

  Anyone??
