Why let them dictate how and where you shop? It's their problem not yours. they are in the cult, you escaped. I say, give em hell and show no mercy. Did they show mercy to you? Take charge of your life. Own who you are.

A deflating talk with my brother re: anti-witnessing,,,,thoughts?
by smellsgood in**edited to say, my brother is not a jw, never has been, nor have any of my family.
i'm referring to jw's i don't know who came to the door finally (i posted about it a couple weeks ago in personal experiences) i was just talking to him about it because he got word of it and doesn't like the idea of it** .
talking to my brother today, he doesn't like the idea of me getting involved debating with jw's (i've done this plenty, just not in person:).

I never thought I would be out there picketing either, but it does do lots of good. I can remember things that picketers were yelling at me when I was a little kid, and it always made me think real hard about what they were saying. I even remember when Randy's airplane flew over dodger stadium. I remember thinking, "Well, what DID happen at Bethel in 1980?' 20 years later I would have that question answered. I was always curious about the people picketing. I wish more people would do it. I think every ex should try it at least once. then you'll see the atraction.

A Half Serious Rant About Europe
by metatron inlike many americans, my image of europe often drifts into an o'reilly-esk reverie of cradle to grave.
social welfare recipients who will strike at a moments notice, let criminals run free and allow.
their inner cities to be dominated by unassimilated jihadis ( who have free healthcare but no.

Why not try having a broad WORLD VIEW instead of a narrow AMERICAN VIEW?

The Universal court case is rigged.........or unwinnable.
by Iron Rod infirst let me say that i'm at a point in my life where i don't even buy the idea that the bible is gods word.
this is just a thought exercise.
second, since there are so many smart folks on this board, this has possibly already been discussed.

Very good points. I have never thought of that. Thanks for giving us more ammo. Be careful, this type of intelligent thinking will get you in trouble.

A horrible scary thing happened to my daughter. You won't believe this
by coffee_black inmy daughter was on her way to work last week and stopped for a milkshake at a fast food restaurant.
they were caught on tape using the slop bucket they used for cleaning bathrooms etc.
to empty out the milkshake machine while they cleaned it, and then pour the milkshake mix (in the contaminated slop bucket) back into the machine.. apparently there was also a group of kids from an after school program that had a party there that same day.

The fade is over, talked to my parents last night. (very very long)
by Paralipomenon inthere would never be a good time to have this conversation.
quite different from most people raised a witness, i have very few horror stories about my upbringing.
my family was just a family, my mom and dad fought and argued, my siblings and i misbehaved and got in trouble.. .

Amazing story. Or is it typical? Anyway, I'm a firm believer that if parents stop associating with their sons and daughters, then they don't get to see the grandkids. Also, since you were able to fill them with much information, you never know when it is going to sink in. I also believe that exJWs should make every effort to get subversive thoughts accross. Even if they just hear the words "The WT was a member of the UN," then it will bother them on some level and eventually it will just click. It may be years from now, but it just may click before you know it. Good luck.

Hello everyone, first post.
by Frjprice inhello, i just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here - as i will be posting here.. i grew up a jw and pioneered, was a ministerial servant, ect, i was in the organization for 17 years.
i left and naturally my family did as they were told and cut off all communication with me.
this left a horrible taste in my mouth for not just jw's, but any religion for that matter.
