whether you like him or not.... it doesn’t matter.

Certainly helped me adjust my views on Trump
trying to pull another motor cyclists handbrake on at 135 mph!!
this nut job should be banned for life!!.
the bbc news link shows this, while the youtube link reveals his past behaviour.
3rdgen, I ride mx as well and raced junior 125 up here back in the day. That is horrible am so sorry for your son.. yes on the road racer being banned, dirty racing !
when i was in, i couldn't understand why the subject of over eating or gluttony was almost never discussed, there was countless talks and articles about over drinking but over eating is lumped in as the same offence in the bible but was never discussed?
an elder who was serving in the islands told me he heard a talk given by a local in the cong there who professed that "in the new system we can eat as much as we want and not get fat".
so why was /is it not talked about?
I've 'studied' with an elder that would make himself these HUGE honking triple decker pickle sandwiches smothered in mayonnaise. This of course was done halfway through the study AFTER I had already stayed there for supper.. ( they were racking up the hours off my back ) Kind of guy that would go back for a second fully loaded plate. Was truly something to behold, never seen anything like it not even in 'the world' so to speak.
The supper and sandwich binge evening was the last one there for me, I peeled out really pissed after !
Him and his wife were / are obese. Once went in service with them in my MK2 Jetta and they filled the whole car, pretty gross hehe
i know i have a few people here that enjoy the stories on the podcast, so i announce when a new one comes out.
also sometimes this is a way for new people to find it and get help if they want, so here it is.
between this jw life (my first podcast) and shunned we just went over the 40,000 individual download mark, which is pretty cool.. i just released episode sixteen about sydney, and it's a great look into the narcissism and authoritarian nature of the cult.
Good stuff thanks for the link DS, will be viewing your channel !
fellows.
finally find a place to share experience for jwers.
i am also a ex-jwer and left the ´truth´ on jan. 2018. i live and work in midt jylland in denmark.
Everything about this thread is spot on, look into Narcissism and you will see the mind games the society plays on us. Think about it, they've had over a 100 years to perfect their craft. They do it well the sons of bitches.. read read read about them and the subject. The more you know the more you will own your life. None of this prevents you from being spiritual if you so desire.
Sara : Yes they will turn on you once baptised, they'll want to run your life. You'll be slowly broken down and dismantled to a shell of what you once were. I've lived through it I know.
i have been on the phone the last to two weeks calling people i've known over the last forty years most of who are still jehovah's witnesses.
some of these people who didn't know i was "out" talked to me and some who knew i was "out" still talked to me.
some of the those people are even elders.. by book new boy will be dedicated to all the people who have killed themselves because of being a jehovah's witness or knowing others who were jehovah's witnesses.
As usual thanks Keith, looking forward to the book.
Newcomers : This is the guy that single handedly woke me up thanks to his New Boy at Bethel in the 70's thread. Great reading including the episode of Elton John's Madman Across The Water blaring form his decrepit Chevy Biscaine car's stereo on one of the downtown expressways parting traffic like Moses at the Red Sea ! So funny, was shocking to me at the time, I wept... realisation that I was way more gullible than I thought.
well 55 yo this summer times flies.. was in my late thirties when i started thinking about getting braces or some other treatment for my crowded teeth.
decided to put it off a few years later as 'the new system' ™ was right around the corner.
then went through a huge burn out depression and my teeth became a lesser priority.
Thanks for this Magnum PI I missed these latest replies.
You guys are great. Am going in for some dental work in September.
Good to hear you're going to the gym. I got back into mountain biking after close to a 10 year layoff myself, gradually at first is key.
it was a very good film but not fully what i was expecting.
a jw could even watch it, i don't think the title fit the movie.
there was absolutely nothing about apostasy, nor do i recall the word even being mentioned.
ah ok thanks for the info Scotsman !

The good:
It did a great job of showing what JW life is like. It was shot in an actual kingdomhall! Most of the actors really did well acting like JW's, you would think they all had been ex jw's to pull it off. It exposes the lie that JW's do not break up families as claimed on jw.org faq on shunning family members.
You really think it was in an actual Kingdom hall ? Maybe rather just a prop ? Either it was a sold off building or a fabricated prop as I just don't see how they could film inside an actual functional kindom hall ??
jehovah's witnesses,is jesus christ, jehovah god?
(not the father, but equal to the father)what if the watchtower told you about god in a false way, and yet the bible taught you about god in his true character, how would you respond?could it be true, that the watchtower have been leading you up the garden path, describing god in a way that the bible does not describe?
please watch my latest video to help you to see how the bible describes the lord jesus christ, and also within my video, i explain from the new world translation how the bible which the jws use, also describes jesus as jehovah god.
Good post and comments following. I too think the truth lies somewhere in the middle for us believing Christians. Makes more sense that way, to me at least.
