elder shock
by gladdy injust heard arwens ex has become an elder in nova scotia.
what a joke, he was abusive and kidnapped the children / put her and the kids though hell......... a real jerk..... and he is the one some poor soul will go to for guidance!
this cult makes up their own rules as they go along.

I got out relatively quickly, and didn't cause the elders too many problems, but my pal dedpoet certainly did! He waged a 3 month campaign of mayhem before he left. He used tro sit at the back and put these wierd eyes on whenever the po or so were on the platform. He used to laugh loudly if anyone made a joke, turn in service reports with 0 hours on them and swap the tapes round on the sound desk so the wrong songs got played (he only admitted doing that to me recently). He put a false turd in the kh entrance once, and he made some pretty bizarre comments at meetings. His last school talk, at the last meeting he ever went to, was a deliberate attack on the body of elders, he didn't mention them but we all knew what he meant. He used to come to some meetings in a leather jacket and jeans, which didn't go down well either. He called it his "exit strategy", to give us something to remember him by. I think the elders were a bit relieved when he stopped coming, they certainly didn't seem to try very hard to get him back anyway.

Would you give blood now? Would you accept it?
by sass_my_frass inhow do you feel about blood now?
the thought of taking a blood transfusion still gives me the creeps... but now i know that i'd take one if my life was on the line.
i'm thinking about giving blood too.

I'm not sure what I would do, it's not something I've really thought about yet, but seeing this thread has reminded me to sort out my AMD, so thanks.
I love your idea though GBL.

Initially because the person who I studied with told me, then I got to think that the fds were infallible. I never could really work it out.

Seeker4 - Just Found Out I'm Disfellowshipped!!
by Seeker4 inhave been hearing for a few weeks that i was disfellowshipped a while ago - like 2 or 3 months ago - but no one told me!
no call telling me about an announcement, no one informing me of a decision and my right to appeal!.
but, i have it on pretty good sources now that there was a "seeker4 is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" announcement.. well, it's finally over.

Dont be so hard on satan
by gringojj ini think people forget that satan was a creation of god, just like all of us and everything else.
obviously god had a purpose in creating satan.
god has love for everyone and everything, including satan.

It was the first club I had been to for more years than I can remember, but it won't be so long before I go again! Thanks for the turbo shndy tip Jordan, I'll try that. I am hoping to drag dedpoet along next time as well, just encourage him when he comes in again (I am at his place now).
Love, Linda

I have been out tonight with dedpoet, I didn't intend to have any alcohol, but I did have a drop (or2), and a few cigarettes. I just feel so liberated at the moment, free after all these years, and I wanna enjoy it! It's a bit of a rollercoaster ride for me at the moment, doiong things I would have felt guilty doing not long ago, I have got my life back, and life is SOOOOO GOOD now.

A Cleansing
by Purza inafter many months of letting the junk pile up, me and my husband set out to tackle cleaning up the garage today so that i could start parking my car in there again as the cold weather is coming.. as we were working he said to me "okay these jehovah's witnesses books have to go".
when we first moved in three years ago, i had taken all of my jw books and put them into a storage container out in the garage.
at that point i felt like i was betraying jehovah if i threw out the books.. well three years later and i said "okay, but first we must rip out my name out of them all".

I am going to get rid of all my jw literature soon, and I have a lot. My friend dedpoet burned all his, I think I will do the same, I don't want anyone falling into the jw trap because of a piece of crap I just threw in the bin.

Armeggedon new light?
by Cellist inan inactive, non-baptized person told my sister-in-law (faded, non-baptized) that the witnesses no longer believe that armeggedon is going be a world destruction.
does anyone know where she would get this sort of idea from?
this person is more in contact with active jws than we are.

I've only recently left, and I never heard that while I was in. I am pretty sure anyone saying anything like that in my kh would have been in trouble with the elders pretty soon!
