you read the post from the Andersons / Reveal News on Splanes X-Splanation to the Portuguese on being wary of enema's of the State of JW -
Enemas? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
despite claims to the contrary, there's no guarantee the watchtower will be around in a few decades time.
and it seems to me there's ever mounting evidence that the opposite may well be true.
but it's not just that recruitment is down and their defectors are up.

.just plucking up the courage to introduce myself....living in ireland but from the uk originally.
..drifted away due to depression (from all things truth related lol and bereavements and my m.s husband cheating on me and leaving !!
) few years ago but they recently hunted me down (they contacted me the day my other half was diagnosed with cancer!
Welcome, so sorry these idiots felt they had to hunt you down, in no way do the scriptures require them to do this, but it's not about the bible it's about control, it's a cult. I moved out of state, so they couldn't do anything, but my family treats me as disfellowshipped all the same. It's a game that you can't win unless you are willing to live as if you were a JW, something I was not willing to do. I wanted Christmas, birthdays, voting and everything else, and to hell with them, I am not going to pretend or change my life to suit others, there is nothing I can do about those who worship eight men in Brooklyn.
I lost my brother and mother to cancer, it's rough.
I'm in the U.S., but of Irish/English heritage. I've been to England, but not to Ireland, I am hoping to visit before I die.
speaking for my self, no way in hell.. this question to see if you really have been deprogramed,.
do you 100% believe it is not the truth.. a fourth of the world hit by a nuclear attack..
Are you serious? Why would a nuclear holocaust make me want to go back? To me It's like saying "if there was a nuclear holocaust would you join the Mormons?" , because the Mormons have just as much if a chance of being right as the JWs do, which is zero.
many of us knew or knew of weldon howze.
weldon was a good friend for more than 40 years, even after my fade from the dubs.
this came to my in box today.. to all of weldons friends and family,.
It doesn't surprise me that some saw him as a threat, he was too well known, a great speaker and loved by many, but he never quite fit the JW "mold", they couldn't have anyone like that have that much power. I suspected as much at the time but didn't ever hear exactly what happened.
It also doesn't surprise me that he didn't condemn you for leaving, sadelder, he was a truly good and kind person, not judgemental at all. I am so glad I saw your post, otherwise I wouldn't have know he passed away.

Two dislikes for saying I was sorry someone passed away? Seriously?
Steve, I don't know the story, I heard some rumors, but nothing I care to repeat, it was a long time ago.

I knew Weldon from way back in the seventies, he studied with my first husband. He was a really great guy, was very well known and traveled a lot. I think he served at Bethel at one time. I am sorry to hear that he passed away.
i say take care of the needy ones first like our veterans and homeless and mentally ill, and then....take care of those not from this country.
Agreed. That's why I am personally helping a family through a local church. I also donate money to Wounded Warriors, volunteer at my local pet shelter, donate to Angel Flight and always do Angel Tree every year.Wow, good on you! How strange that you are doing what the opportunity suggested should be done, helping people in your own country, but two people saw fit to dislike that particular comment, I wonder why? I get that some people don't like you, you can be blunt and this is a political thread, but to dislike that fact that you help other people is petty and childish.
I'm trying to leave the world and at least a few people better than they were before I got here.
not sure if this was posted before... but apparently for the wt a woman's smaller cranium than a man's shows she was designed to be in submission to the man!!
unbelievable he dared to say such things!.

How sad that a woman in an organization that devalues and marginalizes women would be criticized for simply for speculating what she might do if she had even a smidgen of respect or power, I mean, how dare she?
In our house I am the one who has all the tools, in fact I have asked Santa to bring me a new jigsaw and drill for Christmas, as I have worn out the ones I have. Amazingly, my husband is not threatened in any way, lol.
it had a football printed on it!
do they sell more because of it?
do they think i need a reminder of the season (its been a rough season for football in seattle)?.
If you think that was bad, this was a complete fail by Reeses.This blob is supposed to be a Christmas Tree.
As far as this being a silly thread, you didn't figure that out from the title? If you think a thread is a waste of time, just ignore it and it will quickly drop out of sight, it's not necessarily to make someone feel bad for starting a thread that you are not interested in.
