Hi Simon,

(i am still a serving elder.
i have no idea how much longer i can stomach it.
timing is terrible for stepping down right now, though.
Never a JW but after reading the Elder handbook or manual whatever you call it the Elder and I broke many a rule in 5 years. Just saying.
i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.
if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.
i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .
(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.
i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?
About 2 years ago they were on a huge Satan kick. Everything was about Satan, I think even the summer convention was all about Satan's system.
The reason I ask mention this I am financial accountant and this is the time period when the "Elder" and I were fighting. I deal with banks and IRS all the time and the "Elder" would go off on tangents about Satan's system.
I am thinking all this talk about the government tracking JWS down might be to track down Elders to testify in all these upcoming child abuse court cases.
On to another point someone made on one of these threads OMG, could this cult possibly inflict anymore emotional abuse on their children! !!!!!! This is outright EMOTIONAL CHILD ABUSE !!!
would making fun of an elder, co or governing body member, be considered brazen conduct or some other wt sin, like apostasy?
.
is it an actionable judicial matter, even?.
carrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.
Simon,
This is your website can't you fix the like button I just want to keep my finger on the like button for your last comment it deserves far more then 1 like.
i'm pretty sure i have ptsd because of this cult.
i now experience headaches pretty much daily and find myself poping excedrin migraine pills 3-4 a day.
also i'm drinking alcohol a bit to take the edge off.
I strongly recommend Heal Your Headache The 1-2-3 Program by David Buchholz, M.D. of John Hopkins. I refer back to this book all the time.
It discusses all the triggers of migraines. You will be totally surprised what foods and things in your home will increase your headaches. Many things in the environment also play a major role in migraines. Stress is one of the major factors.
A lot of medication will trigger migraines.
Simple things like changing your laundry detergent and softner to a free and clear will help tremendously. Remover all air freshners from your home for a couple of weeks then replace them with natural scents like lemon. Be careful of cleaning supplies.
PM me if you have any questions, I have fine tuned my house. My daughter calls it the Free and Clear Zone. LOL
how was your wedding?
did you have a jw wedding or something different?
my wedding was not what either of us wanted at first, but it turned out very lovely.
Wedding was at a Lutheran Church and reception was at the Bethesda Naval Officer Club we had 200 guest for dinner and dancing this was Saturday night. But the partying started on Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, bridesmaids and bride started at 8 AM with breakfast, spa, late lunch and then off to the wedding at 7 PM. Then Sunday was a brunch for about 50 people from 11 till 2.
OK so we are Italian and we like to party.
