I wish he would stop tweeting. But I am happy with the economy and tax reforms so far. I max out my 401k, take every deduction permissible and still wind up paying nearly $30k in just federal income tax, and I am not anywhere near being a 1%er. My company is also one that is giving money back to the employees due to the tax reform bill. So far so good, if he would just shut up.......😀

Cart Witnessing at Library
by M3tadata69 inhello everyone, i live here in the states, and over the past summer and fall, i noticed that several times when i went to the public library there were witnesses sitting outside next to the door with their cart.
usually a couple of old geezers just sitting there racking up field service time.
my question is, do they have to get special permission from the city to do this?

Drives me nuts to see them outside the library - they are against everything a library stands for. Learning, growth, entertaining new ideas.....

My now husband didn’t meet my parents for more than 10 years after we were married. Explain to your boyfriend the realities of parents being in a cult. They will understand. I refused to give my JW relatives anything to use against me to try and inflict emotional pain. You don’t have to let them hurt you.

Thanks For being helpful
by Jrjw into the person who reported me to the elders from here - thank you for making me be able to leave the organisation a whole lot easier and sooner than i'd planned.
you did me a huge favour 😊.

Also, thanks for reminding all of us exactly why we no longer want to be part of that cult. Spying, stalking, reporting back to the elders- no thanks.

When Will Jehovah`s Witnesses Appoint A Woman As A Governing Body Member.? It`s Long Overdue !
by smiddy3 injehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.
revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.
i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.

I showed it to my never a JW husband and he said it was creepy. Who talks like that? And who allows some one that much control over their life? He asked my why would anyone subject themselves to that?
oh and who sits in another guy’s lap?

DF’d or DA???
by DATA-DOG inso, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.
what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.
i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

Do whatever you think is best. I wish you didn’t have to make this choice at all. I hope you can find peace once this is all over. (Hugs)

I've Disassociated. It's getting announced tomorrow.
by Heathen Dan inthis is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).
first of all, i've left being a jw in june.
since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.

Hi and welcome. It’s really a shame that the Witnesses like to run other people’s lives. You get to make decisions for your life, they are upset because you took that power away from them. 🍺 to you and this new chapter of your life.

Guilt trip
by Jrjw indid anyone have other jws try to guilt trip them when they were leaving or if you were making a decision which jws felt was wrong but wasn't unscriptural?
i'm getting people guilt tripping me to eventually get back with my emotionally, spiritually and mentally abusive husband who i'm separated from.
i feel sick at the thought of getting back together and putting myself through that nightmare again but i'm being told its what jehovah wants coz he doesn't want families to be apart.

When I was first leaving it helped to think of the JWs I knew as being mentally deficient. Therefore when they said things to me I would take whatever was said in that context.
Now- I don’t care, no guilt, no fear.
