  Going to a District Convention Undercover, suggestions?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm still undesided but leaning towards going to a few dcs under the cover of a worldly person(i'm really a df'd evil apostate .

  i'm a worldy person that is in love with a jw sister who i work with, we have dated and even have been intimate(that outa perk up the ears of any hatchet man elder), and now she refuses to see me any more unless i become a jw, she encouraged me to go to this convention, but is afraid to be seen with me because she doesn't want people in her congregation to know she has a boy friend.

  i think that kind of story would grab the interest of many sisters or brother and allow me to ask some hard questions about the organization and even allow me to bring up some things i found on the internet about dates and such and not be viewed as an apostate.

  i having been "lurking" around here for about a month--right when i was disfellowshipped actually.

  in a year long relationship--broke up-five months later had a bout of conscience and told on myself.

  Hi dfd, welcome to the board.

  So now that you have been lurking for awhile here, I am curious as to what you think about this "culture" out here on the internet of mostly ex-witnesses and their varying beliefs on life and religion. You said your conscience caused you to tell on yourself, do you believe you were doing something wrong? I am not trying to put answers in your mouth at all, I am just wondering, since you are new here what your thoughts are on all of "this", outside of the organization and if you have given much thought as to what you want to do regarding the organization in the future.

  Is the Watchtower hurting financially?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while surfing e-watchman's paradise forum, i clicked on one of the topics i never go to, "our meetings & assemblies" and found an interesting post on the wt bleeding financially.. it was posted 3 months ago.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2888&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0.

  in my neck of the woods (which shall remain anonymous) the do and co have been circulating the rumour that the watchtower society is in financial straights and is being bled dry.

  this must be very pressing.

  Killing the WTS subtly programmed ideas.

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving the jws can you recall any instance(s) where more or less suddenly becoming aware of a hitherto unconscious wts idea(s) subtly programmed into your mind, brought a great positive change in your persective of things and your overall disposition?

  (once a subconscious idea is brought up to awareness it is easier to dispose of.

  or perhaps the above happened when you really grasped the meaning of a programmed idea you were always consciously aware of.

  Did anyone find the DC encouraging?

  by sweet tee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember going to the assemblies and conventions and feeling encouraged by the information that was presented.

  in hindsight, i may have just felt that way because that's how you were supposed to feel.

  i was a 100% brainwashed fool for many years, if the gb said it, i did, i felt it and i believed it .

  After I grew older, got married and had kids...and couldn't flirt with the ladies anymore...the Assemblies got downright tedious.
