oh.... how the saga goes on!!
i swear we could write a novel about our life exiting the watchtower!!
ok..many of you read what happened..our house was egged and so was my sisters car that was parked here, and "frosty" was attacked!!
LL--I haven't had time to read through this whole thing, but I had read your previous thread on what happened.
Due to the fact that they are only apologizing because they are being forced to, I would say--PRESS CHARGES!!! Especially when you think of all the crimes that JWs commit that they try to sweep under the carpet--molesting and other crap. I go for any kind of public news that sheds a deserved bad light on the JWs.
ok, i've heard it all: sincerity, honesty, security, money, love, romance, flowers, poems, promises, and more.
but, in my arguably limited experience, i've been shot down while doing all of these (at differnt times obviously).
so, what do women really want?
Troucul--"They want the impossible, they want you to walk on water, then commit suicide while shouting their name, and while they're standing on your grave asking 'what else can you do for me?', they want you to rise from the dead.
Do not trust them."
Me thinks you have had some bad experiences?
hello all: i have been lurking around this site for over two years.
due to a recent post of someone claiming to be an elder (which has been removed) i have been motivated to post.
i have been around this site for well over two years and have read most of your posts carefully.
Welcome! This is the right place for you to vent, as we understand what you are going through with family.
i realized that the manmade rules were so ungodly and more pharasaic that i began to tune out what i thought was blather and silly nonsense.
eventually, i would sit at the meetings with either a visivle smirk or an inward one because of the foolishness spouted!---------did you have a similar sentiment??
?
Mimimimi--you know what you must do right??? Give a very long and winded toast, and make sure to mention the beautiful wedding held at Babylon the Greats Church!!!
I like the movie ET and used to ignore the counsel in the Watchtower about how his finger was a phallic symbol and he was likened to Jesus because of healing and being resurrected!
not jehovahs witnesses though lol, in case anyone was wondering....i'd have to move house, we can't "live in sin" and serve jah.. we saw a minor road accident between two cars, one of which looked likely to be a write off.
fortunately no one was badly hurt, as the ambulance came but didn't take anyone to hospital.
the police came as well, and took our names, so we are witnesses to the crash.. and that is the only witness either of us ever want to be again.. .
Wow you really scared me with a title like that. It would be like a dog returning to its own vomit!
the witnesses always say they are free in christ, i beg to differ, i don't know how many stupid unscriptural laws they have but lets start a thread on how many dumb witness laws you know and have heard of that make no sense or completely unbelievable, it is like they have a second talmud.
cant have walt disney movies or stuffed animals as this is magical.
cant have beards.
I just remembered something else funny and weird. I had a girlfriend who was going through a divorce but would talk about how her husband wanted her to masterbate him and she used a tissue! And she thought it was SOOOO wrong because it wasn't actual intercourse! What a bunch of weirdos!!!

OMG I am cracking up reading all these, and it brought back memories.
Lucky Charms, Frankenberry, Booberry and Count Chocula--yeah you were not supposed to eat those cereals because eating those little marshmellows could bring demons into your house!!!
Oh and women were not allowed to wear split skirts.
as many of you know by now - i do not tolerate 'shunners'.
i have done no evil, killed no one, never raped or pillaged any witnesses.
i do not tolerate small-minded witnesses who called me 'brother' for most of 40 years, now acting as if i am no better than sh*t on the bottom of their shoes.
Great letter! More xJWs should do the same. I don't recall ever reading in a Watchtower magazine that JWs were supposed to shun people in a place of business doing their job, a lot of JWs just take it upon themselves to snub people.
once again i am shocked.
you would think i would be usted to it by now.
wait til you hear this one.
Sorry about your house--that is terrible.
The JWs would have said the Devil was testing you if you were an active JW, so they always have to spout something just for something to say.
i am putting my story up there.. just one post so far.
check it out if you like.. not sure how long i'll keep it up.. i keep editing it shorter and shorter lol.
but the board was slow last night and i am quite happy talking to myself..
Thanks for sharing your story. Every day I learn about more pathetic behavior of people in the so-called True Religion. I wish my JW sister would open her eyes.
