  How do you feel about the elders?

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  oh dear, i recently made a comment about an elder being dogmatic.

  and one of his best buddies sent me a wt article to help me realign my mind or something.

  this is where reality separates from fantasy and fiction.

  99.99% of them are some combination of lazy, arrogant, pusillanimous, self-righteous, and dishonest.

  That remaining 0.01% is mostly composed of brainwashed clowns.

  Anyway, I read the first part of it, but for selfish reasons. I thought he would get specific about his time out of JWs and his cheating on his wife, etc. *Bzzzz* Wrong! No salacious details. ;-)
  

  I never left the Jehovah that I know, I left the Jehovah I was fooled by JWs about.

  Your Most Embarrassing Door Knocking Experiences

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if there's one thing we can look back on and laugh and tell our kids it's the fact that knocking on strangers doors at inopportune times results in some funny or embarrassing experiences.

  i'd be interested in hearing some of yours.

  here's some of mine to get the ball rolling:.

  Not at a door:
  

  For a few months, a few of us doing morning downtown street work were harassed by a midget Jesus freak with some mental/developmental issues.

  (I gave him the nickname "Mr. Mxyzptlk")

  Suffering with "Bridge-over-River-Kwai-syndrome" while fading

  by OneGenTwoGroups in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've never liked being late for meetings, 10 minutes early has always been 5 minutes late for me.

  i'm a very punctual atheist at the meetings still.. when someone asks a simple question from the platform and not one dummy raises their hand, i still feel the need to raise my hand so that we don't all look like idiots.. my shoes still need to be clean and polished, my suits and ties match and are in good shape.

  i never wear them anywhere else.. i still feel like saying hello to people that are obviously being ignored by everyone else.. people not singing out still bugs me, lol.

  "It's the demons..."

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing that really frustrates me inside is how quite a few jw's (especially my family) actually believe that demons like to inhabit second hand vases, or clothes etc.

  my sister and mother are so bad with this that they wont even talk about it - because even talking about it "brings demons into your home".

  so any attempt to show them that it's unscriptural is shut off with, sometimes them literally going "lalalalalalala im not listening".. i used to believe it myself (why wouldn't i?, i was told by my mother and father it was fact).. what i'd like to point out to anyone that would let me debunk it is this:.

  I have been studying and practicing the occult for about ten years.

  
  I am not going to argue back and forth with people on this; I will simply state my policies: I do accept anything occult from another person that I don't know, I don't buy any used occult items whatsoever, and if I am buying some mundane item secondhand, if I see ANY occult symbolism on it, I will not buy it.

  So far, so good.

  I dont know how i can leave my family!

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mom and i were talking today about how next summer i will be 18 and she said that just thinking about it might make her cry.

  that made me think about how much more it would hurt her if i quit being a jw.

  i really do love my parents, i know they are just being cruelly manipulated by a cult and that they really think they are doing what is best for me.

  Lacking some of the pieces in the puzzle

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a chance last weekend to talk with an elder i used to serve with.

  a very kind hearted and understanding elder, always showing sympathy and concern for others, looking out for the little guy, the downtrodden and oppressed, even willing to stand up to uncaring company-men co's .

  he was po way back then and became the cobe in the new re-0rg, until, that is, the gb came out with the age limit.

  He got a chance to learn firsthand what the WT organization did about pedophilia in general, and then he saw on a personal level how the middle and lower management dealt with it locally. Anyone with any thirst for the real truth can see something's not adding up, based on the Society's handling of the pedophilia issues on all levels. There is NO way to reconcile WT organization's policies with decent behavior.
