  Im "Going To Die In Armageddon"

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.

  i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .

  he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

  My sister tried the same things with me, even having my 4 year old niece ( at the time) relay the Jehovahs is going to kill you message. When I wouldn't engage she became even more enraged and tried other more bizarre threats. Now she leaves me alone because I won't enagage.

  She has sent notes to her DF'd son about how Jehovah is going to kill his baby if he doesn't return. Ummm yeah makes me want to run back. Plus isn't it supposed to be Jehovah who judges people's "hearts" not our sisters? Sorry your family is crazy too :-)

  edit: Once they can't scare you anymore they have got nothing left to compel you to return.

  Eat, I like the buffet at the Bellagio and the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan. I like to walk the strip, see the Venetian ( the indoor sky gets me every time), I did the rides at the top of the stratosphere, went to Madame Trusseau wax museum. The Mob Museum downtown was a nice distraction. Have fun and 🍀Good Luck!

  Major changes to convention security beginning in 2017

  short info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.

  festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.

  all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

  lol - have you seen the attendants?!? I wouldn't be scared away by having a bunch of overgrown man-child's standing by the entrances. They aren't armed, they aren't trained, they aren't authorized to use force. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen if they start shit with someone.

  Leave then alone, it could be worse?

  ummmm no. I will not "leave them alone". Maybe if they left other people alone, who only wanted to leave their stupid cult, I would be more inclined to.

  The Ultimate Conversion

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing that surprised me shortly after joining this site was the number of individuals who, after experiencing the deception of being a jw and the hypocrisy of the “truth”, switched to being catholic or “born-again” evangelists.

  it seemed to me like jumping from the hot pan into the fire.. i don’t want to piss anyone off for his or her choices.

  i feel everyone is free to believe what they may.

  DY - your reasoning is ridiculous. Did you ever consider that some people cannot cope with leaving the cult and it taints every part of their life. They can't function in society because of the treatment and mind control in the cult.

  Met JWs today - they lied about who they were

  by Xanthippe in

  2. experiences

  so a couple came into the library where i work today and the woman said she was from the british sign language association and asked if i would display a leaflet for her.

  when she handed me the leaflet the jw website logo jumped out at me as did the words 'would you like to study the bible with jehovah's witnesses?

  ' there was a small picture that had someone conversing in sign language but the other pictures were typical jw leaflet pictures.

  Ruby - you go around picking fights and then try to play the victim when someone challenges you. Your " take my toys and go home" attitude is tiring.

  You were at work you have to play by the rules, at least you made sure some vulnerable person isn't going to get roped into this. Whenever I see the literature anywhere I take it and rip it up and put it in the trash. Most of the time I do it quietly so as not to make a scene.

  I have had a chance to share information about the Witnesses with the three local law enforcement agencies (city, county, state) because the Witnesses kept leaving literature in the local government buildings. That won't happen anymore. 😀

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  I could never go back. I have seen and learned too much to ever be influenced by any of them. Once you see how it is all lies and manipulation, it doesn't work on you anymore.

  Sleep Habits

  by snowbird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this thread is inspired by a beloved poster who said he managed to sleep all through yesternight.. how about you, do you sleep through the night?.

  each morning, around 2 am, it's as if a hand shakes me awake.. i became accustomed to arising at that time to take care of my semi-invalid mother.. she passed nearly 12 years ago, but my body?

  mind?

  I very rarely have trouble sleeping. At home I get into bed and am out in a few minutes.

  I travel a lot for work too and usually sleep well at hotels too. On my last trip the rest of my traveling companions were awakened every night by a train, I didn't hear anything.

  i do sleep with a fan on at home and in hotels put the fan on continuous run.
