The GB is losing it. Whoever is in charge must have alzheimers or something, and I am not making light of alzheimers disease, but these people making up all these rules have got to have a screw lose somewhere. It's as if they're reading from a manual called 'how to destroy a cult by driving all the victims out'. The R&F have GOT to be weary of this flip-flop crap.

my first postapostate jdub spotting...
by kittyeatzjdubs inso me, matt and alllll of our friends were at the blue monkey (a bar in memphis), and we were just sitting around, munching on pizza and throwing back beers.
all in all, it was great.
i basically just wanted to get the point through that i was perfectly happy and that i didn't need the dubs to have fun and have friends.

Way to go Kittie.
i don't think they laughed once.
What! You mean Jehovah's happy people didn't have a good time at the bar (lol)? Of course how could they with you there. They had to focus on showing their hatred and disgust towards you, judgemental a** morons! I bet it made their night to sit there glaring at you and your man all evening. I'm so glad to be rid of that bunch of nuts.

Are Bethelites more likely to leave the JWs than others?
by Gill inhave you any experience of families whose sons have gone off to bethel and then decided to not have any more contact with their family and jws at all very soon after returning?.
i ask this question because i know of two families where this has been the case.. the first family had three sons who one after the other went to the london bether to 'serve' within a couple of years of eachother.. after three years there all three returned home completely different people.
they then left home, left dub land, two married non jws and another lives with his girlfriend.

the Society have now got a scripted funeral talk and I can't deviate from their script.'
That's some sick cult bulls**t ... I'll subdue the urge to rant.
To the thread though; I know of 1 ex-bethalite who turned apostate. Very intelligent young man, could have gone to college but was recruited to the full-time-magazine sales service at about 19 yo by his mother. Then went to Bethel and was asked to leave. I agree with the character comment. I can't imagine him finding out it wasn't the truth and just sticking around for the hell of it. The other two from our cong. who went came back changed people. You could tell something was wrong but they wouldn't talk about it.
It's funny, I THOUGHT JW's were a cult after I left. Now the evidence is overwhelming! The GB is getting worse and worse.

What Would YOU Do?
by GetBusyLiving inthis is an email forward i got from a friend.

AND, NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.
Why do these type of e-mails try to guilt-trip you into passing them along (lol)? I especially love the ones that say "if you love Jesus, send this to 10 people within the next five seconds, if you don't do it .... " Yeah, right. Like Jesus is monitoring your e-mail.Great story though ... thanks for sharing GBL

Did anyone find the DC encouraging?
by sweet tee ini remember going to the assemblies and conventions and feeling encouraged by the information that was presented.
in hindsight, i may have just felt that way because that's how you were supposed to feel.
i was a 100% brainwashed fool for many years, if the gb said it, i did, i felt it and i believed it .

I remember also thinking how well organized and how efficiently the conventions were run, from food service through security. I know now that they weren't any more organized than any other type of convention. I just believed these things because I was told to believe them and because they were pounded into my head from the podium. "We are Jehovah's people and our fellowship and brotherly love enable us to work together in a way that nobody else can." Bullsh*t! I've been to many other kinds of conventions since leaving the Borg, and most of them have been just as organized.
Dag sith, I forgot all about that. I attend a few large trade shows a year and they are just as organized if not more so than the conventions and such. It's just mind boggling what big liars the GB are. But with their limited experience and exposure to THE REAL WORLD they probably believe themselves.

A few observations from the DC
by pillsbury ini have been reading over everyones posts from the dc and it made me remember a few things:.
the drama: they definately were discouraging going to collage.
timothy had a friend named jonathon that pursued "worldly goals"- getting an education, getting a good job and getting married and having kids.

In the end, the Watchtower is written with a wink.
elsewhere - I never thought about that when I was in, but it's true. They have no problem contradicting themselves over and over and over. Crooked, lying ass, evil bastards ! This college thing really has my panties in bunch. People have to be ready to leave this crooked, flip-flopping sorry ass excuse for a religion.

Then the Society did one of their rationalisation programmes, that and a cocky jumped up CO killed all the fun.
That's just it mutz - The GB prides itself on sucking the joy out of everything. If the 'friends' get any enjoyment out of something the GB will find something wrong with it and apply the same few catch-all scriptures; make sure of the more important things ... bad association ... be no part of the world.
They SUCK!!!

Get that Drama about "No College" into the hands of a child custody judge
by truthseeker in.
just finished reading the posts on this years drama, about timothy "pioneering" and how youths should not go to college.. it is crucial, if you are helping any parent win custody of their children from their jw parent, that you get a copy of the drama on dvd (someone stated it would be released at the end of the summer) and get it into the hands of a family court judge.. the wt already has a booklet about how jw parents and children should respond in family court, over custody cases.
they use twisted reasoning and scripted answers.. this dvd will expose their lies and evil maliciouness..

Yet another reversal. How long will the
sheepsleep continue to fall for this malarky? They will do and say anthing to keep the R&F from having a life. I really do pity those who sincerely believe that is the truth. But there have to be some thinking people in those audiences who are fed up with that BS.Great idea ts! How foolish of them to put that on DVD and risk exposing their stupidity and duplicity to the world. Go ahead, use it against them. It is a gift from god .

Did anyone who attended the convention even HEAR anything encouraging at all? Or was it just the usual GB mental beat down with don't do this, don't do that ... I read on another thread that they're speaking against college education again. That's funny as hell! "Little Johnny went to college and now he's not so strong in da troof". Yeah, cause little Johnny knows how to do research, use the internet and think critically so now he's on to your bulls***t and only goes to meetings so he won't lose his friends and family. Hell no he doesn't want to be a 'servant' he's just faking it until he can figure out how to convince mom and dad it's all a lie.
Why can't the conventions actually be upbuilding? Like a good church revival with singing and praise and teaching values from the 'good book'. How about a sermon on making your family life happy that emphasises spending more quality time with your children. Do fun things like play boardgames, go out to the park more often, play catch, fly a kite ... that type of stuff makes me feel warm and fuzzy .
Come to think of it, I really didn't feel upbuilt after a convention or assembly. I felt like I had to 'do more', do more, do more ... just thinking about it gives me the cringes
