  Receiving so much hate recently....

  well, as you all know, my wife (unstuck) and i are not df or da.. we just stopped attending several years back after my "apostate" online activity was found by a nosey employee of ours while she was working in our office (long story if anyone wants to know - it would have to be another thread).

  we never met with any elders - no congregation judicial activity occurred (as we would never consent to do so anyway).

  so our policy has been to be the same kind, loving, normal people we have always been.

  Funny thing, two weekends ago went mountain biking at the local hot spot, season grand opening the place was hopping ! I'm with two other friends ( we are senior riders in our 50's ) and on way back to the parking we were on the gas single filing and spinning up fast showing off a little ( good for the old ego's ) and I greet a younger couple in opposite direction that had moved over to let us by in the narrow singletrack. Of course I thanked them profusely and shouted out " bonne ride ! " as we passed. I noticed the guy had a white helmet on and the girl with him as being cute and friendly.

  Then later after having had a quick snack while BS'ing and eyeballing women and bikes we start off again and regroup near the trail head, still lots of people milling about.

  I then see some young guy in his early thirties biking back up and out heading past me all the while giving me this horrible stink eye to the point of being practically disfigured. I though boy this guy looks like my old young JW friend P.P. but seems mad as hell so something must be really pestering him !

  I look back at him briefly and thought hey he really does look like so and so but then thought better of addressing the poor chap due to his obvious bad mood. Figured I'd check out his bike as he rode by me to my right but only took a passing glance as it seemed like an older rig and didn't recognise the make, that and was busy BS'ing with my buddies at the time.

  Gut feeling was really telling me something again so thought of looking around for his wife to see if it could be him. Looked left and Bingo it's her ! Same cute pleasant girl as before coming up from the left. We exchanged glances and I drop it, decide then and there not to let them crap on my day and start off with my friends hooting and hollering, party time : RIDE !

  JW World is one big F'ing competition on so many levels : Social, Spiritual, Familial, Genetical, Racial etc. Reminds me of going to the start gate at a local motocross, mountain bike event or XC ski race. Assess the competition, check out equipment, clothing and demeanor. Train with friends and gauge their strengths and weakness. They are nothing if not worldly bastards, all of them..

  spoke to my younger brother dan yesterday (he da'd about 6 months ago).

  he was telling me that he got a visit from our older brother the day before.

  our older brother was raised a jw but never committed, lives a full-on "worldly" life - smokes, binge drinks, hangs out with non-jws, but he's been studying for about 6 years would you believe?.

  My impressions of the cart witnessing

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

  the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

  when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

  I still have a small plastic document holder with tracts, envelopes and some time slips in my drivers side car door pocket. This left over from another life when I was Gung-ho for the Truth™ ( no idea why I held on to them other than due to my gradual departure and knowing they could have some 'counter productive' use some day ) Have yet to run into any carts but I think these items could be used creatively hehe ! Maybe fill out and present a time slip to one of the elders present.. or maybe just ask them where their hours are at for the month and jot them down. Guaranteed to freak them out especially if they don't know you hahaha !!!!!!

  PS : Elder above looks like a Kool-Aid drinking pioneer elder I knew that would snap his britches at how great he is for the Truth™ with his generous airline maintenance tech's pension money coming in every month..
