well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.
we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..
I think about the protests in terms of the people doing the protesting.(This was respectful, not screaming. I can’t support the scary protests.)
The people protesting have found their voice, and are getting stronger. They are people learning to stand up for themselves the best way they know how right now. As they get distance and perspective maybe they will try something different.

Thanks Morpheus- ok so maybe not my best moment.
It just irritates me when people think they have the right to decide for someone else how to best be an ex-JW.

I actually don’t think it is the best, but I wouldn’t be so egotistical to tell someone else how to live their life. I’ve been there, done that, as a JW.
i do think ex-JWs should put their own healing first, and then see if they are still interested in being an activist. It is too easy to get stuck in a place of being angry and hurt, and not get past it. If this is their way of making sense of the cult experience they had, and it helps them heal - I am all for it.

And you are not an elder anymore. So you don’t get to decide what is right for everyone else.
You cannot tell me that you know how every one of the 8 million or so JWs will react to any given situation. Protesting might work for some, it might not work for others. That’s the beauty of being an ex-JW. We all get to make our own decisions regardless of what you, ex-Elder, think.

Just because I don’t believe you are correct in your beliefs it means I was never a JW??
Well listen up - I spent my entire life in that damn cult - until I was brave enough to leave. I might have left earlier if I had known of so many others who knew it wasn’t “the truth”. Oh and I wasn’t just a fringe JW, just so you don’t dismiss my experience.
It’s good to see you haven’t lost your JW sense of “I’m right an everyone else is wrong.”

I don’t think there is only one right way to do anything. I think a crowd that big protesting gets more attention because you can’t say it’s just a “crazy guy” out there protesting. It’s probably not something I would do, but that doesn’t make it wrong.
Just this week I met with our county commissioners to ask that they stop allowing the JWs to leave literature in the county complex. Every time I go in there there are Watchtower and Awakes - they shouldn’t be allowed in a County Building. I made my case, they agreed. And now no more literature in the county building. (They are not going to allow any religious material even though only JWs were leaving their garbage there).
do you guys have any advice on dating worldly people?
how do i not freak out during my first date with my boyfriend?
how can i avoid being awkward?
Don’t take it too seriously. Contrary to Watchtower beliefs, dating is supposed to be fun, it doesn’t mean you are going to marry this person, but you can find out a whole lot about yourself. It’s a chance to explore your likes and dislikes and have some fun. Don’t put pressure on yourself that this is “the one”.
for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.
what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?
in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.
Sure - biblical sexual standards where women are claimed as spoils of war and forced to marry their rapists?
I think i’ll pass.
from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.
obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.
can anyone confirm this?.
I really think it’s poor management from the top. I don’t think they realize that the culture has changed somewhat and people are more likely to be upset when something happens to them personally. That’s what happens when uneducated, delusional fools are put in charge of running a corporation and think they have God’s backing instead of getting real world advice.
In the area grew up in, which was rural, there have been at least 5 Kingdon Hall closed and tons of restructuring. But the old timers keep going.........

I do not care what other people do in the bedroom. It is up to them to make their own decisions.
For me, the thought of marrying someone and not knowing if we were compatible sexually didn’t make sense.
