by UnshackleTheChains in

this is a question for those who officially left the organisation and are married; and your spouse and kids are still in.'.

i just wanted to find out what your experience has been when you dissacociated.the following questions go through my mind all the time.

it always comes back to the what if's!.

I'd always go with a gradual fade. Why play by their rules and make things easy for them to implement their hideous shunning rules?

I faded years ago and it makes things easier all round. I quite like the dilemma most of them find themselves in when not knowing how to treat me. It perplexes them also that they have to see me living a fairly good life. They're privvy to stuff about my life that they certainly wouldn't be if they shut down all communication.

Of course, whatever you decide is your choice and your truest of friends will always stick by you regardless. Of that number you'll only ever have a few in life but I've found it's all you need.

Im all for disempowering their stupid rules.

To all extents and purposes I should've been disfellowshipped by now. Even ten years ago when I faded I publicly spoke against JW beliefs. Even barred my kids from the meetings. Goodness knows how they've let me away with it but it's good because I've been able to influence or at least expose active JW's to the stuff they never get to know from other sources. Make them think a little.

I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video

by pale.emperor in

maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.

this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.

in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

Declining beers on the ministry is a bad idea. It would've gotten the poor guy through that session. Silly boy.

OMG!! the Stereotyping!!

by Tight Pants Twinkle Toes in

did anyone notice the blatant stereotyping in the ' remember the wife of lot' video?.

the only thing missing with the oriental family was a pony tailed servant named 'hopsing' and that they all go off to work at the family laundry.. the mexican family ate tacos, refried beans, and hotsauce ('not there is anything wrong with hotsauce'....,sienfeld) at every meal, and of course the dad was a landscaper.

wtf!?!?
