things that make you go "hmmmmm": just learned that an elder i know living near waco, texas is hosting a graduation party for his son.
don't remember ever reading of any faithful christian in the bible ever having such a party.
and to think, all that honor and attention will be focused on a mere human being instead of yhwh.....
Later, it was discussed that maybe his almost dying was a sign of me being evil...because I stopped attending meetings a few weeks later and was disfellowshipped a few months after that.
ND:
Please tell me that you are exaggerating! I do hope that NO ONE EVER told a young person such a HATEFUL thing!
as some of you may know, i am a recently self-deconverted jw.
the experience of deconversion was at times emotional.
i have compiled a list of songs i would listen to on those emotionally turbulent occasions.
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me The Ballad of John & Yoko - John Lennon
last friday night sucked big time.
i just don't know whats wrong with me.
i have many worldly friends that would like to hang out with me but i just didn't feel like calling anybody up.
PS-Now is a good time to come up with a different term than "worldly friends"! :)
Excellent advice that works for me.
It seems to me that you are still classifying everyone: worldly, in the truth, us, them. I 'went/am still going' through these feelings. I don't like being one of the 'us' class, but have been trained that the 'them' class is lower, and even less acceptable to god.
In time, I am sure that you will 'true friends' not just 'friends in the truth', and they will love and accept you just because you are YOU. Keep in mind that this is only a transition phase and it IS temporary.

i know this might seem like a big laughable joke, but i was wondering what will happen when all of the gb members die off or get too old to continue as gb members?
will they start to pick jw women who claim to be of the annoited and or old enough to be alive during 1935?
evidently the chosen will get too old to carry on and there will be "new light" to say that young jw can be of the annointed and gb.
They don't get that the one with the pooty has the power - LOL.
Oh! they get that point alright!
That's why any BOE is really run behind the scenes by the Elderette Body.

even in our very best of times, we have all had to 'fake' one for the team.. what was your best zinger?.

They are already setting up for the next phase.
Non-anointed men are stepping up to the plate.
All of the new corporations have 'great crowd' in the key positions or 'given ones' as they are now called.
Ring! Ring!: Hello! Thank you for calling Watchtower. How may I direct your call?Anointed Sister from Idaho: Hi, I understand that you need new GBs and I am calling to take my rightful place as one of Christ's brothers.
WT: Sorry Sis, but we started using the Other Sheep for those positions.
Anointed Sister from Idaho: Hey, when did this happen? and why wasn't I consulted? I'm one of the little flock, you know!
WT: Please leave your name and number and we will have a judicial committee contact your body of elders to deal with your unsubmissive attitude.
Anointed Sister from Idaho: When I get to heaven, are you gonna be sorry!
WT: That's what you think ... just wait until the 'new light' comes out next month! ... See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!

you are talking to youre dub mate and you start telling them a story that you heard on the forum and they ask where you heard the story from.
of course the forum pops in your head and you have to think real quick of another source.
Crumpet: And Ljwtlamb - when did you go to Brazil?
The more I move around, the less likely the chance that I will be caught by the Borg.
However, they have agents everywhere, so I gotta be extra careful.

You know when you have been on the forum to long when,,,
as your jw mate walks in on your computer session, to avoid being caught on JWD, you quickly switch to a homo porn site.
(No offense intended Evil!)
The judicial committee is more merciful on porn than apostasy!
since we all like to blame our witness past for so much... did any of you because of your repressed days as a witness become insatiable once you left?.
haha...and if so, and you're hot, can i have your number?
haha
Fleaman: Yep ,gotta admit the first year out i shagged anyone who wanted me!!
Congrats! At least you got ONE! (not counting your left and your right!)
