  Nope ... in fact every time I read something like "true Christians" (implying JWs), I laugh inside.

  The responses I have been getting lately has been:

  1. They came to my door when I was a kid. I have never talked to them since I have been an adult.
  2. They think they are better than everyone else.
  3. I feel sorry for them, they think the have "the Truth".
  4. Those people that go door-to-door.
  5. I don't know anything about them. Nothing. What? They will cut you off if you leave? That's not right. What? No birthdays? That's just wrong.

  Elders, perfect kind men who should be respected.

  by free2beme in

  i know some former witnesses away from the board and when we have talked, we have commented on how we still see people put elders in this category, even after the exit.

  once in a discussion with someone who used to be an elder, the person who used to be an elder did something kind of harsh in their comments.

  the person in the group stated, "there is no way someone like you would have ever been an elder.

  I actually know one former elder who admitted to masturbating after talking to sisters about their sex life, ever wonder why they wanted so much detail?

  I can't tell you how many times I have heard a variation on this from other elders. For instance, elders sitting on sex-related committee meetings of women they once had the hots for - women who wouldn't give them the time of day. Now they were ELDERS and could ask all these "penetrating" questions (pun intended). One elder told me that the other elder on a particular committee even had an erection during the JC meeting.

  Nothing but small men (physically and mentally) using scriptural authority to give them power.

  Have you ever just wanted to pick up and leave?

  has anyone ever wanted to do that?

  to just leave and tell no one where you are going.

  start over fresh in a new place where nobody judges you based on your past.

  i just read from the quotes website that the wts discourages people to play chess!

  i never knew that!lol they compare it to actual war and say it can make one competitive and aggresive.

  i've never read such bullshit, if i didn't know better, i would have thought that this was a mock article.

  Does a brother have to explain if he cuts his hair bald?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all know that having a beard or a goatee is wrong in the jw organization.

  how about if a brother just decides to be bald, by choice?.

  what do the elders say then?

  Depends on the congregation. I caught holy hell for it.

  The other congregation that meets in the same hall as us has no problems with it.

  Nice to see Jehovah's direction isn't it?

  well, i have been trying to fade peacefully for months, for the sake of my wife and family.

  to do this, i have had to hold my tongue about most of what i know, and i have done a good job of it until now.

  the other day, i was hanging out with my buddy who misses most meetings, but still believes it's the truth.
