Experience at a get together recently

by CaptainSchmideo in

every so often, i will get invites to social gatherings from people from my old congregation (not the one i currently attend).

recently, it was for a high school graduation of the son of people i grew up with.. so, a curious thing happens (and happens every time i go to one of these things).. the old timers start quizzing me about my mom (who hasn't gone to meetings in years) and my brother (who has spotty attendance, apparently), and they assume that i am still attending regularly (i don't volunteer anything different).. .

i really resent being interrogated about my family members, it's like i am volunteering information to "big brother".

friends

hi all, came across this website, ran by steve searles.

i believe he comes from carlisle, england.. it contains all sorts of "goodies" - talks, dramas, district conventions, old watchtower publications, videos etc.

he charges a "membership fee" for folks to download ripped off youtube videos etc.

I didn't think anyone ever paid for that stuff when it was New Light.

How do the Dubbies Handle No Soliciting Signs Now?

by laverite in

i get too many callers in my neighborhood, and i need to invest in a no soliciting sign for the front door.

i do not appreciate uninvited callers, unless they are there to tell me there's an immediate need to evacuate.

i absolutely won't buy anything at the door.

What do you have to fear from Jehovah's Witnesses?

Allow them on your property and invite them in.

Make sure you tell them that the slave was off in its chronology a few years.

Abraham, David and Moses didn't return in 1925 but they returned last week and are enjoying your backyard swimming pool

and BBQ grill.

Invite them to stay for pork ribs, potato salad and some spiritual discussions with the resurrected Hebrew prophets.

last friday i got a message on my classmates account from alice, a jw girl i hadn't seen in over 40 years.

i checked her profile and in her current photo she is wearing a native american necklace and earrings with tribal or religious symbols.

She said: Have a nice life and contact me if and when you return to the Truth.

She doesn't have the truth so why should she demand that you have it?

Can Anointed Members Be Disfellowshiped?

by Cold Steel in

since the anointed class used to be the faithful and discreet slave, i wondered if and how they can be disciplined through being disfellowshiped?

aren't they given a little more latitude in how they interpret scriptures and in what they say?

do people in kingdom halls who have anointed members defer to them in any way?

Honesty

Get this:

Members of the 'great crowd' AKA elders have disfellowshiped members of the 'anointed' AKA Christ's brothers.

Is that totally WACKO or what????

Hello and my exit story from WTS

by free2Bme13 in

i thought it was fitting for me to share my freedom from the witnesses story on independence day weekend.. i dont have any secret info, just experiences that happened to me and started to open my eyes.. i was a third generation, raised in the truth kid who was never supposed to be born, and then never supposed to graduate high school.

ive now been out of high school longer than i was in school.. the beginning of the end started a little less than a decade ago.

i was late 20s at the time.
