not dfd but no-one speaks to me
by dedpoet ini am ex pioneer, ex ministerial serpent not been near a kh in 6 years, smoke, drink had a live in gf until recently, but not dfd, so much for keeping the cong clean!
still, none of my "brothers" with a couple of exceptions, speaks to me now, their way of trying to win me back perhaps?
not that it'd work - i am happy now after 10 years of bs from people who ought to know better but don't

A sister spoke to me at breakfast...
by AK - Jeff ini was eating a sinful double order of biscuits/gravy when this sister i knew came up to my table.
as is usual with witness mentality, not a single word about the family or any other matter, just launched into "hubby and i were out by your house in service, stopped by but no one was home" then she tactlessly mentioned that she had not seen us around the hall for a while.
i told her we were not attending meetings any longer.

Way to go Jeff. That took guts, i'm glad for you. I recently too had a confrontation with a "Sister tm " in which I made her acknowledge me. It feels good doesn't it to finally have the inner strength to realize they are nothing but misuided fools.

what do ex jws become
by jwfacts in.

I would say im just a normal human like everyone in this world. I just don't any longer believe in the JW religion. I dont really know what to believe anymore, its difficult when all your life you thought you had all the answers and then one day you wake up and realize you really had none. Im no different then anyone else, I just have different belief system and a background. I dont believe in organized religion in anyway, and would never ever join one again.
I am very cautious now and amazed at how I was so cleverly duped. I have went on to post secondary and educated myself. I have also cult readied myself by devouring as many books on them as I can and being on this forum.
I would say most of all after my experience in the JW religion and finding out it was all a pipe dream is "I BELIEVE IN ME". I have gained incredible self confidence and enthusiasm for life since I left the org. and now know if I am to overcome hurdles in life I must believe in myself and know that I will suceed.

Well I had a CO that was a jerk and was out to terminate me even though I was inactive. I just didnt tell him squat and then started relating about my thesis for university on bio-genetics. He kinda looked at me and said "bio-genetics?" and then took off mad with that smirk they love to have. Came again pressuring me with questions and twisting scriptures, I wouldnt let them in the house and didnt make them welcome. I wouldn't tell them squat again becuase frankly it was none of their damn business. Last time he ever came, and again he left madder then a wet hen with that smirk on his face.

Dont feel bad, Im not DF'd either but get the same treatment.
In fact just a couple days ago I seen a relative through marriage who is a JW. I saw her at the shopping mart, she was talking with someone in a vehicle, and I decided to say hello since she kinda was distant family. She looked at me and then looked back inside the vehicle and continued to talk to this person. I then shouted a little louder "Hello!", she kinda looked, half smiled(that typical I couldn't care less for you go away smirk), and proceeded to ignore me again. I was ticked right off so I went right up to her and thought, "I will make you say hello to me." Well she acknowledged me finally but it was very brief and I seen her again that day and she just looked right through me.
Oh what wonderful christian love they show, sure shows their identifying mark alright.
I just thought what a snobby brainwashed biotch! I know I shouldnt think like that but it really pisses me off when they do this and they think it is good and proper to do so. I was also proud of myself for forcing her to acknowledge me, I thought im not going to play by thier stupid rules ever again!

DID YOU EVER 'EMBELLISH' YOUR FIELD SERVICE REPORT???
by chuckyy injust wondering if anyone ever did put down more hours/placements etc on their report than they actually did.. i know that i did.
the reason was that i was pioneering and working full time.
it just got too much and i ended up adding hours.

No I too was too honest and believed wholeheartedly at the time in what I was doing although doubts started to set in as to actions I personally witnessed.
As for the reports, usually the elder who is appointed service overseer takes care of the reports, gets them ready and sends them out.

Watchtower destroys historical evidence.
by Etude ini wonder if anyone else on this board can recall this incident.
i think i mentioned it in a previous post (on an unrelated subject) but can't find it.. when i was at brooklyn bethel (1974 on) i remember a comment that was made at the breakfast table (over the loud-speaker system) by someone recapping for the "family" the acquisition and remodel of the old towers hotel and the tunnel that was being constructed to connect that property with the rest of the complex.
it struck me even then (although as a good witness i quickly ignored it) how the speaker, with an air of disdain, proclaimed how they had found a shaft that apparently had been used for the "underground railroad", which smuggled slaves, had been promptly filled in with dirt and kept under wraps so that the brooklyn historical society could not stop the work.. has anyone else heard of this incident?.

Very interesting. I never did hear of this. Too bad if it is true, another loss of a historical site.
