  I've been a witness to many of those 'situations'. I don't know if my experience is the norm, but it has always been j-dub sisters™ that go through a wild phase in their life and then retreat back to the dubs with a boyfriend or husband in tow. I can think of four sisters™ in the congregation I was raised in, that did this exact thing. And unfortunately the guys they brought with them, became passive and sometimes very active j-dubs.

  At least lookingover has the personal integrity to leave her bf behind and then come back to her religion, but in most cases they end up dragging a victim back into the cult with them.

  i walked in about 10 minutes prior to the start of the meeting- i sure looked like an unusual visitor wearing my best jeans a golf shirt and my yarmulke.. the first brother who approached me was an slighly built late middle age guy- he gave me a big hello and extended his hand.

  i pulled out my 'end of false religion tract' and showed it to him.

  "did you put this in my door?

  Point out biblical principles JW's omit to follow

  by JH in

  jesus said these words:.

  "if you desire to be perfect," replied jesus, "go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me.".

  i never heard elders ask jw's to reach out into their abundance and help poor jw's....have you?.

  Would You Like To Know What Goes On At Elder's Meetings?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever wondered what goes on at an elder's meeting?

  after a prayer, the presiding overseer will state what the purpose of the meeting is.

  if it's a quarterly meeting, the elders will discuss the spirituality of the congregation, its spirit and any dangerous trends that may be observed.

  And the number one reason to meet after the meeting- Allow other to do the Hall cleaning instead of the elders

  haha,

  As I was reading this, I was imagining David Letterman and one of his top ten lists.

  2. friends

  i am in a unique work situation which i won't describe because i am a fader.. let's just say that it's like vegas.

  what happens (or is said) at work stays at work.. we are a fairly tight bunch.

  some of my closest co-workers know my situation.

  I enjoy it so much that I probably say it too much. I used to be the crazy jesusfreak, but now I'm the crazy ex-jesusfreak.

  
  

  Yep, I'm really big on Anti-witnessing. I don't care if it's a co-worker, a customer, or someone off the street. When the situation presents itself, I make sure the person I'm talking to knows the truth about the j-dub cult.
