Disposable People
by MerryMagdalene insince my mom decided she needed to put full shunning back into effect again (an unconscious new year's resolution to be a better jw?
), i've been ransacked by a whole bunch of emotions which have been gradually resolving into thoughts.
the sense of being completely disposable, expendable, replaceable.

Ever had to go to hospital?
by greendawn inin general have you been physically healthy in your life or did you ever have a serious physical illness to the point that you needed hospitalisation?
fortunately up to now i never had any such illness nor did ppl of my age that i know, except one (heart operation).
the only one that died actually got killed in an accident at work after the machine he was operating snatched him and minced him.

Lets see 2 knee surgeries in 1983, I had 10 sheets of 1 inch plywood fall and hit me in the legs. Appendix surgery in 79' in the army. Had a lymph node removed in 84' from a bee sting, and in 97' my latest surgery damn near killed me was an aneurysm in my brain. Is that enough ?

Witness and Food Stamp Scam
by MissBehave inhi everyone, been reading here for a long time and have to say how much i enjoy all of your stories, insight and opinions.
this is my first time posting but i remembered something today that i thought was worth sharing.
when i was a teenager and going to the hall (i successfully faded about seventeen years ago), there was a family who would come to the hall in all their sunday finery (better clothes than we can afford), drove up in their nice luxury vehicle etc.

Yep, my JW folks do this. My mother collects SSI, they adopted my nephew who is now in his 20's who is on SSI which my mother controls his money and all goes into her pocket and my step dad collects food stamps while working under the table. It makes me sick, my folks have lived off the government for as long as I can remember. I think a lot of JW's do this. It allows them to do service work which I am sure they lie often about their time in field service. I figure someday it will all catch up to them, it usually does....

Are you worshipping a false prophet?
by scout575 inat matthew 24:30 jesus predicts his second coming, saying that he would appear: "in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
" in verse 34 he goes on to say that: "this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
" jesus is prophesying that his second coming would occur during the lifetime of his contempories.

Jesus also said he'd "come quickly" in Revelation.
Who is to say how quick quickly is ? Do we know Gods time ? No we don't but if you read you will find that prophecy is being fulfilled today as we speak.

Which do YOU do.....play by the Witnesses Rules....or by YOUR own Rules?
by gumby insome of us here remember threads about how some here have decided not to play by dub rules in the area of shunning.
for instance.....they say "since the borg is a bogus religion and since it's shunning policies are not biblically nor morally based in most cases, they fell they should freely speak to other jehovahs witnesses whenever they wish even though they know the witnesses are to shun them when approched or contacted by them.
they feel they do not need to play by dub standards when around a dub any longer and one reason is.....they do not want the dub to feel that you think they are right and you are wrong by playing the part of a shunned person.

If they respond or do not respond that is up to them but I don't shun anyone.
Ditto on that one. Why should I act like them ? I am no longer one of them so why be like them ? I make my own decisions on how I act or react around other people and the Borg has absolutely no control over me.

Okay I will buy a kingdom hall and tell them it is going to be a new church called "The church of ex-Jehovah Witnesses". Or call it "Church of Apostates"
Do you think they will deny me ? I'd sue the crap out of them if they did...

Hey you know what people ? I could say a lot of very cruel words and call people names in this thread. Listen I Love God with all my heart, that which means I truly believe in his Holy word. The thread asked a question as to how you feel about gay marriage and I spoke my most honest feelings based on what my faith say's. But you people get so critical towards those who choose to follow what the bible teaches us. Do you really think that you are yourselves being compassionate or even understanding to what my belief is ? Are you people so F&%%&ing self righteous and oh so all knowing ? I hardly think any of you are any of the above. I feel sorry for some of you. You know whats funny ? is at one time everyone single one of you had a Love for God and a faith in his word but now that your out of the society you are angry at God as if it's all his fault. Well it's not Gods fault we got involved in a cult it is our own damn fault. I could damn you every gay person here but I don't, I couold use some very harsh words for those who are Gay but I don't. So you all go right ahead with your little stabs hidden by a computer, because I think your all gutless, your cold and heartless. And I'm about to leave this board because I am sick of self-righteous people.
