  i was just wondering....how many of you have actually met each other?

  i'm new here.

  what i mean is, are there regular reunions where one can go and meet other ex-jw's face to face?

  well, according to the people in my hall, us "sisters" are pretty damn helpless.

  our hall is being remodelded, so last night during the announcements, the brother said, "we need as many brothers as we can get to help with doing the work this weekend..." then he has the sheer audacity to say, "and we will also need some sisters to clean up the mess afterwards.

  " do you have any idea how pissed off i was?

  I went to collegegirl's congregation before I moved out west, and I'd have to say that that particular congregation stands as probably the most sexist one I attended in my 23 years in "the truth". Although the halls I went to growing up came pretty damn close too.

  Collegegirl - move away, come out west. Or DA yourself and get out of the cult!

  I've been slandered my whole life Biggs....whethers its been because of my hair, my sideburns, being called a "player", listing to "debasing" music...i could go on and on. I think the people who slandered me the most (as far as I've heard) would be my brother in law and his wife. There is a reason we hardly ever visited your congregation in the last few years Biggs!

  Escape by Metallica

  by Disposable Hero in

  2. entertainment

  as some of you already know, i'm a huge metallica fan, i'm not too crazy about the new stuff, but i like the older stuff up unitl about 91. many of metallica songs have a dark side to them; death, war,destruction, misplaced justice, etc.

  one song that seems to stick out that one can relate to escaping the watchtower is "escape" on the "ride the lightning" album.

  anyways, here are the lyrics.

  The Watchtower's "N" word.

  by Lee Elder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is no word in watchtower speak (theocratise) that carries more emotional charge than apostate.

  to be labeled an apostate is the lowest low worst than pond scum.

  in jw thinking, there is more hope for a pedophile or a murderer than for an apostate.

  the JW's can dish out all of the hurtful words they want but if you call them "you people are sick" or "brainwashed, following the organization" they get really upset....thats been my experience with my mom. she's a brainwashed JW. oops, there I go again.
