A True D8TA Family Experience to Share

One of my sister's (whom was a JW at the time) kids picked up one of those neat little "lines", that he didn't know the meaning of. This line was "Fuck it".

For an entire day, the little brat went around saying the word..over...and over...and over, you get the point.

So I pick up my sister to go do lunch. Sit the kid in the toddler seat, and he continues his little phrase as we are driving.

My sister finally got a bit peeved and the following conversation ensued:(names been changed for obvious reasons)

Mysister: Look that's not really a nice word to say son.
Nephew: Fuck it.
Mysister: I mean it, stop saying that, it's not polite.
Nephew: Fuck it.
Mysisiter: Look, your uncle isn't going to take you to McDonald's if you keep saying that!
Nephew: Fuck it.
Mysister: You know son, saying that dirty word, it wont get you in to Jehovah's Kingdom.(parroting a phrase our mother used to throw guilt trips at us with.)

Then, for about 3 seconds he stopped. I'm looking at the rear view mirror (containing my laughter) and I spot this sly little look in his eyes. He breaks the pause and says....

MyNephew:Fuck it.

My sister and I laughed so hard, I even had to pull the car over due to the laughter impairing my driving.

Rumors that they spread about you. When you left.

by jerome in

for some time now i have been reading numerous indivisual life stories relating to their experience with the jws and one obscure ( or at least not directly elabourated upon) detail keeps popping up.. it would appear that whenever a person leaves the organisation by da/df/ia that people take it upon themselves to start spreading "nasty rumours" about the person in question.. it always seems that so much of these said rumours that were frabicated and then propagated throught the local jw community that the poaster almost never seems to have time to goint any detail about what exactaly was said about them in detail.. i would like to invite the posters here on the board to shed some light on their experience regarding their reputation after leaving the kh.. it would appear that once disfelloshipped that the jw community must make it abundantly clear that the person is of absolutely deplorable character inorder to justify their inhumane treatment of the df'ed indivisual.

saying that there is no honourable way to leave the oragnisation this seems to be rather common place.. i am also informed that even if the df'ed person were permitted to return that their reputation within the jw community would never be the same due to the tarnishing of their name and the stigma attached to being df'ed.. i may not be entirely too shure about this one but it would seem that if while still in good standing should the indvisual to become "publicly reproved" or "marked" that this would also be an invitation for the local jw community to begin the same process of defaming the character of the person in question.. would anyone care to discuss your personall experience relating to any private information which became public knowledge after you left the jw community or any half truths that were deileberately propagated to tarnish your name in the vacinity of the kh.

and even worse yet blant lies that were imagined and promoted about you inorder to permanatently damage your character.. i would also be interested in who exactly you think were responsible for the iniation of these rumours.. was it the elders?

D8TA

My younger sister who still talked to me, even after my DF. One week after I was DF'd, (for apostasty...simply said I didn't believe in the WTBTS point of view), my sister came home crying and told me that a vicious rumor had made it through the hall about me. I was 16 when I was DF'd. The Rumor: That I had met some 25 yr. old "worldly" man, and I was DF'd on "fornication" for having homosexual relations with him.

I'm straight folks. I don't have any "fem" qualities.

When my "worldly" dad got wind of this...oh man! He called up the head elder (forget what they call him in the hall--Presiding Overseer?) and said if He and the JC elders did not clear up this matter and set things straight, he would take civil action against each one of them personally. Whether the law was on his or my side or not, it set a fire under their asses. They cleared up the situation by the following week. The rumor was dead.

In order to appease my dad's anger, the elders had actually "ADMITTED" that the rumor had spurred from one of the JC elders wives...who happened to be the hall's "look-at-me-sister-pioneer". Which...in a weird event, she actually VERBALLLY apologized in PERSON (while I WAS DF'd) to me.

History of disfellowshippings (Biblically)

by MavMan in

jw
friends

first expulsion: adam and eve.

first disfellowshipping: cain.

biblical practice, got any questions?

D8TA

For some reason, when I envision a Fundalmentalist trying to "prove a point"...and losing the argument...I see somebody with a Bible,Quaran, or Torah. Raising it high above their heads they shout: "By the power of Grayskull...errr, *cough* GOD ALMIGHTY, I have the power"!

Taliban said they had "God" on their side. Everyone else=evil.
WTBTS says they have "God" on their side. Everyone else=evil.
Taliban supressed their women and children.
WTBTS supresses women and children.
Taliban forbade education from beyond their point of view.
WTBTS forbids education from beyond their point of view.
Taliban issued consequence by their "theology" if it was questioned.
WTBTS issues consequence by their "theology" if it is questioned.

Which one of these groups is doing it's own thing? Can you tell, which one? Which one of the groups is doing it's own thing? Can you tell me before my song is done? Before the song is done. (Sesame Street song).

wifey's dad: hi, it's dad, how are things going?.

wife: ok. wifey's dad: is (his son) on his way home yet?.

wife: yeah, he left about twenty minutes ago.. {indiscriminate small talk, about one minute worth}.

Sorry Ashitaka...my last post on this thread. Don't want to hi-jack it. I'll just post me reply.

I could apply the above statement to you. You also point the finger to the GB, yet ignore your own unloving actions. While you are pointing fingers, the Devil is blinding you to the truth. You have fallen to prey to his machinations.

Thank you for NOT taking my advice at the end of the above quoted post. You are NOT thinking. For your Trained-With-A-Tire-Swing-And-Banana background, I will stick to small words here for ya.

I was BORN in to the beliefs system of WTBTS. I was FORCED to follow their rules. I was RAPED for 16 years of childhood WITHOUT A CHOICE. Do I have the RIGHT to be UNLOVING to the assholes who were shoving their dicks in my ass without my permission for 16 years? YOU BET YOUR ASS I DO. You-just-dont-get-it. Do ya. I dont go around ENFORCING rules upon people without a choice. The GOVERNING BODY does. I have no accountability to 6 million people and the CHILDREN who have NO CHOICE, now do I? The GOVERNING BODY does! I don't manipulate 6 million people and the CHILDREN who have NO CHOICE, now do I? The GOVERNING BODY does! Therefore the accountability lays with who? I disagreed with the teachings of the WTBTS, I left. Now...did the GOVERNING BODY say: "Oh gee, okay...well, we hope you come back"? No, no, no....their were strings attached. My Mom..doesnt talk to me per say of GB. My older sister does not talk to me per say of GB. The GB LABLED ME an Apostate.

If you like, and dont comprehend what is being said here....let me tie you down, take a broom handle and shove it up your arse for 16 years from the day you were born, then when you tell me it "aint right" ....I tell your family cut ties with you completely. Then, because you didn't like the fact of my broom handle being shoved up your arse, I label you an Apostate. And oh, by the way, you can't be "unloving" to me afterwards.

Helloooo, McFly? Anyone home?

Beards,Tatoos and Body Piercing !

by YYHWH in

jw
friends

it sure is nice to have the freedom to enjoy some of the simple things in life without having a guilt trip.. i remember when i was in the non-truth and i would go on vacation i would always use the oppurtunity to grow out my beard, of course my wife would insist that i shave before anybody from the hall saw me.. now i keep a full beard and it cracks me up when i run into people from the hall and when they talk to me they seem to not be able to not stare at my beard.. i cant wait to get me a tatoo.

D8TA

I dont have any recent pics...guess I should take one and scan it. For now I have:

1)Shaved Head -ala Yul Brenner, Telly Savalas, Samuel L. Jackson

2) Pierced tongue -barbell style *twirl twirl click click*

3) Tattoo on my right shoulder in the emblem of the Flash (lightning bolt thru a circle)

4) Sometimes I sport on my face: A patch, or goatee, or handlebar.

My dress code: Ain't got one. Variety of styles, whatever suits the day I suppose. Can be wearing Khaki Pants and a dress shirt, and next day wearing baggy jean shorts with oversized flanel shirt, only to dress the next day in my Bomber Jacket-White T-Shirt and Jeans. I love the freedom of choice.

Music: Don't laugh. Really. You will. Classic Music. No not elevator-shopping mall-Barry Mannilow stuff. The REAL Classics. Mozart, Bach, B-hoven, etc. And modern movements of the Cinema- J.Williams, Horner, etc. Stop laughing. No really, stop. :)~

MavMan---

Thank you for RE-ENFORCING the fact that JW's are callous, cruel, and uncaring when it comes to biofamily relationships as per view to the WTBTS. You are a fine asset to the borganization on this point.

Thank you, for showing your IGNORANCE in a situation you don't understand, and have the small mind and audacity to criticize. WTBTS just luuuvs to point their finger dont they? All the while ignoring the 3 pointing right back at them.

This is where I draw my line with people like you. Ashitika revealed something personal, something only HIS family understands. Sure, most of us have SIMILAR experiences...and to each of us they are different and personal. There's an inherint diversity in each situtation that each person experience is their own.
But I can see you as a person that (who claims to represent the WTBTS view) really doesn't "give a crap" what your foot steps on or in.

My suggestion to you is, STFU. STFU now. You're only making the point that your being a "dick". Insensitivity at this level only leads others to view you as an asshole.

Before you go in to a "this topic is an open game for me to respond", let me point out...Ashitika had made no mention to YOU in this topic. He made no mention of YOUR FAMILY in this topic. Yet you take the liberty to bash/flame HIS FAMILY sitution. This is something I draw the line on. You want to bash people for harping on the WTBTS on other points. That's fine. But when somebody brings their FAMILY in to it...I suggest laying off. Think before you post.
