  how can you stay?

  by zaphod in

  .

  speaking as someone who believed it all right up until about a year after i was df'd i just cannot understand the reasoning of people who don't go out on field service, don't go to meetings, don't participate or believe and still stay in the organisation.. i know that it is hard to leave, it's made to be hard, but some of the postings on this site make me think that it must be harder still living a lie and keeping up the pretense.. if you don't believe, why would you want to conform to all the petty rules and subject yourself to men that you don't believe have any authority.. i really do hope that as soon as possible you can all take a deep breath and finally be true to yourself.. zaphod

  WHO IS WORSE TO A JW, A PAEDOPHILE OR AN APOSTATE?

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  hearing about the child molester in glasgow who has been charged but not disfellowshipped did cause me to think a little;.

  as an apostate you can be shunned without the need for a jc meeting irrespective of the fact that you might be repentent (not if you have any sense though); however the child molester mentioned hasnt been disfellowshipped!!?

  ?...if this is true doesnt it clearly highlight the wts f**cked up sense of morals?.

  Mental Migets

  2. experiences

  yesterday, while i was folding and getting ready my papers for my saturday paper route, i was in the jw chatroom on yahoo.

  there were quite a few jws there (which has become an unsual thing - most diehard jw chatters have gone to paltalk where the control over a chatroom is more rigid) and i engaged a couple of these jws.

  i asked my usual stumper "is there any historical proof for the year 607 b.c.e.?

  Just can't get this out of my head

  by jt stumbler in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  being recently self-dissassociated, i cannot get out of my head something that happened to me more than 20 years ago.

  having studied much in my youth, and being the submarine witness that i was, i married at 19 and began my "worldly coarse".

  i just knew it was the "truth".

  You know you're NOT a JW anymore when...(add some)

  by Flindersgirl in

  1. social
  2. humour

  you don't automatically wake up with a headache on sunday morning.... you no longer go around (while in field service) mentally deciding what home you'll "have" after armaggedon.... every item of clothing you buy as a woman is not first assessed for its modesty value.... you no longer worry about the 144,000 watching you have sex...:).

  when on holiday you don't have to find the nearest kingdom hall asap (remember brother and sisters you are not on holiday from jehovah!!!).

  being able to laugh about having a numb ass at the assemblies from sitting and the hilarity in having to tell people that you found the meeting "uplifting" when really you were fighting sleep the whole time.... you no longer have to avoid entire sections of music stores in order to make sure you don't pick up and "demonistic" vibes from backmasked cd's.
