a different congregationthrough all my years as a witness, the times past were not always good.. too many mistakes were being made, brothers not doing what they should.as i look back now, there are times, i can recall,when i didn't look forward to going to the kingdom hall.
the brothers showed no love.
they didn't seem to care.the elders were unyielding, demanding and unfair.meetings were dull and boring.
Oh the benefits of listening to the meetings via phone.
i got a pm from richie.
shockingly, he has a side to the story!
so i have a legitimate sounding story from richie, who i know to be a young, rebellious man.
Friends,
I have thought from the beginning of this, just how easy it would be for a few people that I work with who know that I'm an ex-JW and participate in this website to take the TIME to find out what my on-screen name is by reading posts and bios for several days. I even shared the meaning of my on-screen name with a good friend who is NO longer a friend.
If she were to remember that and again, take the time to find this website, she could post her side of a disagreement that we 'broke up' over and name me by personal name and user name. It was work related, however it was not an ethical disagreement nor a legal one-it was a difference of opinion on handling the same customer we each had by coincidence while we were each employed at different dealerships.
Except through me, this person has no knowledge of JWs, and would have no right to intrude on my personal communications with you all or to share a personal argument with you. In fact, were she to explain the reason for our breakup, some here (I now see) might take her side and demand an explanation and talk about it for days.
This would be a violation of my privacy and would certainly show character flaws in those that would listen to an 'outsider' who has come aboard solely for the purpose of defaming me--all the while claiming the desire to clear her own name per chance I ever mentioned her here. It is a shame and a sham that WE have permitted this person to come here with the sole aim of ruining RR's reputation, AND allowed this to go the level of 'oh no, not another Trevor and Linda' anxiety. Also, this Seth person used personal info that he gained through friendship with RR to get to this site--Has anyone asked how he found out that RR was a member here?
I think we owe to each other to ignore this sort of crap in the future; we're either here for each other at face value or we're not.

my name is matilda, and i just started a jwd account.
i know some other posters- rollerdave, my uncle, gopher (he visits roller), and my mom, my own soul.
since she's making a record in delaying posting because she wants to write a novel, i thought i'd get in here and start.
Hi and Welcome! Be nice and have fun. That's my Real Life Advice to anyone.
Glad you're here.
i am sort of shocked and wonder if i pulled this same kind of sh*t as a witness.
i already know jw's believe they are better than everyone else, what with being god's only chosen people and all that.. well, i am sitting at my table, minding my own business.
there is a group of six jw's at the next table, three adults, three kids.
"don't look at anything son, everything's out to get you--it's everywhere!!" Jeeeeez. Does somebody's tummy get upset from the Lithium? Someone needs to tell these folks to suck it up and take their meds!!! Step away from the delusional paranoia already.
Sorry you had to bear this while out doing your thing. Tell us, what deep inner strength did you find to not shoot something rude or telling right back?
i have not posted for a good while now as have not felt the need, .
am living in the real world away from jdub hell.. escaped dissing and now have a few friends (some ex jdub and some that have no clue what a jdub is!!
my sister and i were extremely close but my departure has seperated us and we now rarely see each other.
student1, Welcome!
That's so cold how your sis dealt with you, and your mom too. Don't berate yourself for having feelings, it isn't normal to place one's family in second place and what they're doing goes beyond defining with words like cruel, cold, deranged. Here you are doing what you can to cheer a grieving friend's child (for which our hearts go out for the loss of her son!) and our own families treat us as though we died. Don't worry dear, many here have come to the point where we must grieve the "death" of our own mothers, fathers, sisters, etc. . .because of how completely they've cut us off, or how awful they will treat us because they're sooooo right.
Thanks for posting, we're here for you and you're not alone in dealing with divided families.
llbh-sorry your son had to bear the burden of his mother's righteousness at such a noble event as his graduation. Congratulate him from us!!!
when i realized the truth, i was mad.
really mad!!!
and started to blame those crazy jws, i said things like the jws are this, the jws are that, and i hate them!
Nice thought, but if you were Captain Kathryn Janeway, and you were faced with a Borg with a laser rifle who says "we are Borg", would you kindly refrain from apprehending or 'neutralizing' him just because he is connected to the hive mind? "Poor little feller, he's just a borg. He shounta dun that'.
No, Tuvok, your logic will get you killed. And your ears are pointy. ANd I know that's a little SLing Blade-y but, my point is made.

1. you don't talk about fight thread.. 2. you don't talk about fight thread.. 3. when someone stops posting, or stops making sense, even if he's just faking it, the thread is over.. 4. only active posters on the thread.. 5. one thread at a time.. 6. they post without google or a dictionary.. 7. it goes on as long as it has to.. 8. if this is your first view of fight thread, you have to post.. .
Violence has never solved anything. . .er. . .wait, I mean. . .violence solves everything!!
i find it strange that the witnesses often rant about natural affection.
but the thing is, when people are disfellowshipped, in most cases the persons family cut off any contact with them, they stray to the other side of the road when they see them etc.
now, this must mean that a witness family only loves you for your behaviour not for who you are.
Great post. I have mentioned a few times on this site and to my jw parents: JW's fulfill their own end times prophecy, they themselves being those 'having no natural affection'.
See it is true, it's just true about them.
