Hi Marty...
Welcome to the club.
new guy from toronto.
just enjoying the posts.
i haven't been to a meeting in years, i was baptisted 1990. it seems like yesterday.
Hi Marty...
Welcome to the club.
i studied with the jw's for two years and some time this coming week i will be making the "phone call" to tell carol my friend, that i do not want to study any longer with the jw's.
i don't know why i let them into my kitchen to begin with, except there was something about her and i don't make friends well with other women, most of my friends are guys, but carol could tell a irish yarn that made you laugh and feel good.
she made me feel safe and she was fun to go shopping with and talk about problems too, she was like the mother i never had.
I agree. If the GB was really thinking, they would hold their own AA meetings in the KH.
i know this is slightly off-topic but i find alot of the discussion here somewhat depressing and most of it is far too cerebral for me.
i (obviously) live in america and i'm a big fan of beer.
light, dark, lager, ale, whatever.
Guinness for me all the way.
It makes you fat and your sh*t turn black, but I love it. Just wish I could get it here.
1. the president of the watchtower society is really jesus incarnate .
2. plural wives are now allowed (but, only pretty young ones!
3. special silk robes for elders (and maybe fancy headgear) .
How about the "Sexy Sisters in Lingerie" edition of the Watchquirer?
Maybe...""Elders Compasionate Contributions to a Happy Wholesome Family Life-The Shortest Book Ever Written"
Or...How about CLUB J points. For every Watchquirer and Asleep magazine you place, you get 1 CLUB J point. For each bookstudy, 5 points. For every conversion, 100 points. If you make MS, 150 points, Elder, 200.
Then...when you f**k up, you can redeem your points like a 'get out of the red-room' card.
Waddya say? Good idea??
Hey Andrew,
Welcome.
What's your story? We all have one, so don't be shy.

charles atlas here.
i thought i would take time out of my busy day building my big bulging biceps to say "hi!
" to my fellow former watchtower inmates.
Hi.
Thirty Years A Watchquirer Slave was/is an excellent book.
Two must reads..Falling In Truth, and Crisis of Conscience.
Welcome to the real world.

this seemed like a likely place to introduce myself.
i live in oregon and was disfellowshipped a couple of years ago.
i never went back to meetings and i don't intend to go back.
Welcome.
Its not near as bad as you think.
Now you can enjoy life.
Cheers
okay, well i'm another newbie but maybe i will find a few people to be appauled with me.
i have been shunned by my entire family..father, 3 sisters and a brother, 4 aunts 5 uncles, and countless cousins.
the best part of it is i'm not even df'd.
They probably donated half of it to the Watchmejigglemyrod Society.
They are all nuts.
Be glad you are out.
policy changes are always "new light" .
it kinda goes like this.
jehovah's spirit deals only with us and by carefully examining the scriptures we can see that 2+2=19.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Perfect.
I think you have it!!!
i am one confused dude and need serious therapy.
leaving is very tough.
my family are in a life and death race to save me before "the end".
If I may...take some advice from a guy that has been out, and I do mean OUT, for about 30 years.
RUN!!!!!
They will turn your life inside out if you let them. By that, I mean, if you allow them to hold any sort of authority over you, you are doomed. Stand up, be a man, and tell them to pound salt.
You will feel better, live better, and meet a whole new group of people that are REALLY your friends.
In my opinion, the judicial committee holds less water than a filipino radiator, and less power than day old iguans sh*t. RUN man! You will thank me someday.
