It never fails to amaze me that senior (in years) dubs have to rely on 'Worldlies' for any practical help. Are the dubs waiting for the 'New System' till they help each other to harvest/build/bury Worldlies and loot their homes..?

Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too
by UnDisfellowshipped inare jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.
jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.
for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

In fact, if the Catholic Church 'registers' the name 'Jehovah (as it could prove the source of the name), could it sue the WT every time they used the name...? Lol

Jehovah=A 14th century Translation Mistake,made by a Catholic Monk..
You know what I was thinking (always dangerous, lol), that as 'Jehovah' was invented by a Catholic monk (wasn't it originally for a poem..?) and Catholics believe in Trinity, isn't 'Jehovah' actually somehow a combination of the Divine name (YHWH) and Jesus..?
It was the Catholics that inserted the name into a few places into the Bible after YHWH was removed?

Morning Snowbird...11.36am here (England)...on my fourth coffee, lol.
I see the light underneath the door and hear stirrings from my little JW daughter's bedroom.
She's getting ready for field service.
She must get ready really early...

What Do You Value in your Life Now that you Exited the Witnesses ?
by flipper ini was talking with a friend of mine on the board yesterday and the discussion gave me the idea for this thread !
( thanks friend !
) and it seems as we were talking the thought came up that many of us when exiting the mind control of jehovah's witnesses we really come to appreciate the freedom to think how we want and be able to have access to other views which helps us to have a broader scope , or broader world view than just the tunnel vision of the wt society.

I can be 'true to myself'. I don't have to consider what JWs think of me anymore (I was judged unfairly enough when I was one, falsely accused of wrongdoing). I don't have to think twice about something - stopping to consider if something is 'approved by the 'Society'. I AM true to myself. I'm not a hypocrite and have no fear of what a mindless cult can threaten me with.

I'm going poo-less
by rebel8 inno, this is not my annual march colon cancer awareness thread!*.
a certain poo-less poster here has inspired me to stop using shampoo.. according to various hippie types, shampoo forces your scalp to produce extra oils and it takes a while to adjust.
sudsing detergents are bad for the environment too.. plus they have carcinogens and flying spaghetti monster knows i don't need any more of those.. so....have you gone poo-less?.

I try not to wash my hair daily, oils and all that. Years ago I saw a programme where a woman tied her hair up (hidden in a scarf/wrap) for a month and when she took scarf (or whatever) off, her hair was perfect...no washing needed as hair is self cleaning as the oils nourish etc... ...so, I thought brilliant idea. I did same. Hair totally wrapped up for 30 days...after which time, took wrap off, and guess what..? Hair stuck to head like I'd had a chip pan on it.

JW christmas is just round the corner... ugh!
by MisfitMeL inyeah so the memorial is getting closer.. and even though my mum knows i am not attending the meetings, she keeps staying i should at least attend the memorial.... coz it's like special.. no idea how to get myself out of it.
everytime she brings up the topic over the phone, i just mumble and say stuff like, yeah but i finish work late... i dunno where the kh is out here etc etc.
i don't know why jws treat the memorial like it's christmas.

They dont make it seem special: they don't take the day off, they don't give presents, they don't send cards, they don't have parties of celebration (potlucks are out - I went to one after a memorial when I was a child) ...some special day of celebration.
That's a good point Mrs Jones, I hadn't thought of that. You'd think that as it's the most important day of the year, more effort would be made to celebrate the event.

Cantleave, why not break in a decorate next christmas? or sooner we could do easter.
That's a brilliant idea! And leave an Easter egg for every kiddy who's dragged there on Easter Sunday.
Cantleave - do remember the burglar alarm code...? Is it '1914', same as my old KH, lol..?
