It's too embarrassing for an elder to tell someone they are a glutton. Much better to stick to the status quo of asking what type of panties a woman was wearing when she fornicated and if she had an orgasm, in a judicial committee.

my experience since leaving the jw's, knowing certain ones who still have contact, is that many jw's in good standing have done, or are doing things that could merit expulsion.
celebrating new year.
agreeing to blood transfusion.

i'm just freeforming here, i might change my mind by the end of my rant.
a man's home is his castle i figure, and a woman her nest.
guests can't poopy all over the place without consequences.
My roommate has a couple of Jehovah cousin's that have popped by once in a while. My rule is if they step in my home they are talking to me whether they like it or not. The last time one came by he waited outside in the hallway until my roommate was ready to leave. LOL.

Oh God. ALL of my old JW friends have some sort of DF-able vice. If one wasn't explosive barfing his guts and pissing at the same time after chugging a pitcher of beer in under a minute, another was getting a hand job from some random slut during lunch hour at work. Those guys are a total mess.

Great poetry Tetra! By the way, that tune you recorded was terrific too.

we're all gonna go someday.
for witnesses, they don't even have to worry about eternal hell----so what's the big deal?
I'd seriously rather be dead than have to live for all eternity playing Bible Pictionary and eating Party Mix and Mountain Dew with a bunch of Joe-ho's.

i personally know of two cases where the witness being disfellowshipped was asked to provide excruciating details about the exact nature of the "sex crime" that they had committed.. having read the secret elders manual "pay attention to yourselves and all the flock" i know this is standard operating procedure for a judicial hearing.
for those that were disfellowshipped for a "sex crime"
Some of these elders are sick f*cks. A good friend of mine once told me that one of the questions the elders asked her in a judicial committee was "Did (the dude she was nailing) orgasm" and when she answered in the affirmative they went ahead and asked "where". She felt Jehovah thought it was nessesary for her to be honest and answer "In my mouth". They then even asked her if she had had his testicles in her mouth at any point. If that isnt just pointless masturbatory fodder, I don't know what is.

:last time I heard, bad grammar and shitty typing skills were not genetic.
This is true, but partial retardation could be.. I vote it was his niece.

at hebrews 10: 26,27 the bible warns those who would consider leaving christianity: "for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgement and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
" is the bible trustworthy in saying that those who leave christianity are certain to experience a dread of judgement by god?
The Bible is a carefully chosen medley of mind-spunk that only weak or deranged individuals can put any sort of trust in after objectively studying its origins and content. The Bible's "warning" is about as valid as PMJ's pro-Shitness arguments.

ok, a little update on my story.
i told him yes.
i told him, i just couldn't do it.
: "We wanted to respond to the last comment you made on the phone: “I wish you could have unconditional love for me.” We looked up unconditional love and only found it mentioned three times in the Watchtower publications.
Sorry for your situation, but this passage really made me laugh out loud. Jesus, these people are brainwashed. I've nearly forgotten that there are people around in civilized society this day and age with full mental capacity that can be so embarrassingly dense. I don't mean to single out your parents either because I know all of those guys are like that. I'm honestly beginning to forget what it's like to be a Jehovah's Witness.
Good luck.. my dad's the same way.

as a bit of a newbie , i'm interested as to the overall viewpoint of site users and spectrum of views.. using a crude gauge , where 1 = completely convinced "stepford"jw ("jhs organisation is wonderful etc") and 10 is a completely rabid "tear down the tower" apostate/ex-witness pathalogically hating the whole jw structure , where do you fit in?
(apolgies to both groups - no offense intended).. i'm about 2.5 - somewhat disillusioned , keen for reforms in certain areas but broadly accepts the teachings and loves the lifestyle.
would never leave.
