DO YOU BLOG?

by Terry in

i just started doing this (blogging) and it is not unlike writing a diary put into public view.. there a zillions of these things floating around out there.

many are extremely inventive, artistic, interesting and startling.. however, most are utterly inane!.

sturgeon's law at work.

I used to have one, but after awhile I just lost interest. I guess I figured I didn't want to write a journal afterall. Not because it would be boring or bad, but because I don't want my day to day life being on display. And now I'm addicted to this forum and I just wouldn't have the time.

But I think that people just want to be heard and to hear other humans conversing. It's only natural to want to be around other people, are society is socially built. If someone were really isolated from all of humanity, that person would go insane.

Do you have dreams that you're still in the org.?

it's weird.

i haven't been to a meeting in eight years, but at least once a month, i have a dream that i'm at a meeting or out in service or at an assembly or in some other witness-related situation.

it's like those school dreams where you dream you have a calculus final that morning and you haven't been to class all semester.

I used to. But it's been over 10 years for me. So I don't even think of myself as a ex- jw anymore. Just a person.

wow.

i have been carrying my secret for 12 long years.. i told my wife long ago that i was once a witness.

i told her how i was exiled from the congragation 12 years ago after a bout of domestic violence between me and my unbelieving father.

Ok...then in that case- make sure you get her disfellowshipped! Talk to the elders and tell them all of the gory details. Bring her down! Tell them that you are afraid she is doing this to other innocent boys after you tell them your situation.

What is the statue of limitations anyways? Does anyone know?! I'm sure I'm past it too!

I know you want to make her pay for this and get back at her. But there are smarter ways to do this. Hold tight and be patient, she will get hers in the end. Go through the legal system, they are the ones who will help you do this. Those elders? They will be defending her in court!

More than likely, they are going to believe an elders wife over a disfellowshipped person!

They will humiliate you and abuse you all over again and you will be in tears by the time they leave. I've been through it, i've heard it happening, and I know what I am talking about. Please don't talk to them......

Don't talk to them, they will not help you! I should know...

The are only after covering their own a$$ !!!!!

They do not want reproach brought on their org. they will lie to the courts to cover it up. Do not talk to them without a lawyer present.

Heaven?

by th in

i'm not a jehovahs witness nor a believer in the christian faith but i heard that jehovahs witness's believe that only 144 000 people go to heaven.

is this true?

love11

Yes. Apparently they are supposed to come out of the 12 tribes of Israel. Yet, those people in the watchtower org. who claim to be of the 144,000, most are not jewish. I don't know how they explain that one. It's funny that the number of people that claim this always goes up and down. I believe it's around 8,000 left, so they claim. Maybe someone else could do a better job at explaining this one.

What was your most humiliating point of being a jw?

by love11 in

mine was when my mom signed me up to sit at a table at our local university.

we had to sit there and talk to students as they passed by our table.

a few people came up to start a conversation and i didn't even know what they were talking about.

love11

Wow, hopefully these stories I've read here, have been an eye opener for those lurking. It's sad when really young children get so mistreated. Like having to go to the bathroom is a sin and hiding in a tornado is wrong. Crazy!

I remember my very first experience of being humiliated as a jw. I was between 3-4 years old and we were on vacation in Hocking Hills. My dad decided to place a call on this old house on the hill. He told me to come with him just to get me out of the car for awhile. I remember feeling like we shouldn't go, or shouldn't be there. We started walking up a dirt driveway when this big german shepard dog came out of no where. All of a sudden my dad picked me up and ran then threw me on top of the station wagon. The dogs teeth and face looked like a wolf when my dad grabbed me again and tryed to throw me in the window quickly before the dog got to me. Then he gradually squirmed his way back in the car. Once inside my mom started screaming because my dad's flesh on his leg hands and knees were hanging off of him. After everyone calmed down somewhat we wondered if the dog might have rabies and so my dad just started honking the horn until someone came out. An old lady with a cane came down the hill slowly with her dog. When she got to the car she started yelling at my dad and said, "What are you doing here anyways?" I felt embarrased that we were somewhere we didn't belong. I remember thinking, " If god wanted us to place magazines with those people then he wouldn't have let that happen." After they talked to the lady, my dad drove away and said he wondered if he should try and get money from the old lady for her dog attacking him. I said, "No, It's not her fault! It's our fault for sneaking up to her house." After that we went to the local hospital and my dad spent the rest of the vacation sitting near the pool on a lounge chair. I don't know how many stitches he got, but he looked like he was sown up by like a rag doll. I never wanted to go out in service after that. But I did. But not anymore and never will again. It taught me alot- Bad things happen when you're not where you're supposed to be.
