  2. friends

  thus asks my beloved and slow-on-the-uptake jw hubby, who is finding it increasingly difficult to drag himself out the door.

  so far, i've tried to avoid sarcastic comebacks (i'ts boring and useless!

  duh!

  A question about shunning-your input appreciated

  by crazycate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been inactive for 5 years now.

  lately i am being treated more and more as if i were disfellowshipped, which i am not.

  do any of you know of anything, in writing, that is encouraging members to curtail any and all association with former members who are no longer active?.

  Why 607 b.c.e. and 1914 c.e. are utterly true, correct and beyond question!

  and, by the way, what we said about russell being the "faithful and wise servant"......?.

  to get money (for jehovah's work, of course) we are now prepared to hint and insinuate when armageddon will happen and this time we will be 100% accurate.

  we got that part right.. .

  So, you know those "Keep Calm and..." memes?

  by fortis et liber in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i was just looking at the pinterest page ::eye roll:: of a current jw who's husband i once knew quite well additionally, we shared many "friends" in common.

  anyway, posted to her "things for my wall" category is one of those "keep calm and..." memes and this one says, "keep calm and shun the non believers" to which a host of my former "friends" have added their 'lols' and 'ha ha ha's' and "yes!

  " comments and, it just makes me rage.. i know it is stupid to go looking for trouble after all, why visit the public pages (facebook, pinterst, etc.

  Watchtower desperation and Mind Control...

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  notice the latest " biblical " view of education promulgated by the governing body/ slave.

  this is from the september 15, 2012 study edition.

  paragraph 16 of the " learn from the patience of jehovah and jesus ", had this to say.. 16 something that interferes with our manifesting godly patience is a wait and see attitude.

  A question regarding bringing reproach on God’s name

  by crazycate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  regarding the tragedy in gresham this last week, i have nothing but sadness for the loss of that young life, and nothing but sympathy for the family and friends that mourn her.

  i do, however, see the attempts being made to make sure everyone "knows" that the alleged killer was not a "real witness.".

  i was raised as a jehovah's witness and remember the conversations that surrounded any criminal action by a member of the congregation.

  Question for Ex-bethelites: Governing Body Medical Expenses

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body must have health insurance, right?

  i ask because i was wondering how much money has been spent to keep them alive to such ripe and old ages.

  do they all just have impeccable genetics or did they greatly indulge in the worlds medical services to cheat death like the rest of us?

  Sitting Still at Meetings has Become an Impossibility

  by venusinfauxfurs in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i know the truth about jw, and still have to go to meetings for family reasons (and because i don't want to leave my friends, either) i get so sick in my chair in the hall.

  i can't pay attention, i can't sit still knowing it's all such a waste of time and a big fat lie.

  i get weird symptoms like: the feeling that i'm going to almost pass out, very sweaty or very cold, and weak legs though i'm sitting down, and the urge to get up and run away.

  after watching serenity's video i had to comment.

  i kept pausing the video looking for family members or others that i might know but haven't seen in years.

  hated the drive to holt, but loved the soft serve ice cream.
