  I'm glad we're gonna study Rev book again, it's very confusing, but is great for causing convo.
  
  Also, TONS of speculation from the WTS, so it can get people thinking
  
  You'd think they'd just sweep it under the rug, right?

  GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!

  by Butters in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i cannot believe what i saw happen today at the store.. i was at wal-mart browsing various electronics and digital cameras and such, when i heard behind me, "brother hardy, how are you!"...

  first thing i thought was oh shit, they found me, and forgot my real name, or have me mixed up with someone else.. turns out, this disfellowshiped witness was there at the store and saw one of his congregation members there.

  now i personally have never been part of the shunning process myself, but here i am, an ex-jw watching from the other aisle, a bunch of shit that i never thought i would see the lights of day on.... the brother, this "hardy" i guess, looked up at the man with a smile, but then when he realized who it was, he immediately frowned and started pushing his shopping cart away looking straight ahead and not even acknowledging the man... (here's where i jump in..).

  This bethelite really pissed me off at my convention. I was taking notes on my PDA like I always do and he says to me with this cheesy grin "If we were at bethel they would say "No electronic notetaking", I said "We're not at bethel" and continued taking notes.
  
  Bethelites, can't live with them, can't be aware of the society's "banned list of entertainment" without em.

  sending my mom some info

  by moanzy in

  2. bible

  some of you read my post about talking with my mom about the "truth".

  i let her have it in a two hour phone call which probably wasn't the best way to reason.

  i guess i'm just sick of it all and i harbor so much resentment for this cult as well as my upbringing.

  2. friends

  ok, someone sent me this and i just about pissed myself laughing.

  apparently, there's nothing abnormal about preaching to animals if you need to get those hours in.

  i'm still struggling whether or not this actually happened, or if it's just a wt legend:.

  thought id inject a bit of light hearted humor , any stories of elders who were unorthodox in a witness way , .

  there was one elder in the hall i used to attend called ronnie [edit] , who i still like and admire as a person to this day , he was always very outspoken when he didnt agree with the society on there policy and doctrines and was pra, ctically opposed to bethel service , i remember him giving a talk on applying for bethel service in the km many years ago , and at the end of the talk he said joking with a wry smile , i dont know why any of the brothers would want to do that , sounds like slave labour to me, also whe he was conducting the revelation book study , when it talked about the seven plagues of god being fulfilled in a wt convention in ohio in 1919 , he turned round and said , i dont know where the society get all this from , ... .

  he also had a very distinctive voice spoken thru pursed lips in a rasp like voice saying thats just stupid , whenever he didnt agree with the society and other elders , a great man in spite of his beliefs , he was one of the elders on my jc who srongly opposed my disfellowshipping , but he was overuled- .

  Wow, what a cool guy.
  
  The seven plagues/conventions thing IS hillarious, he just had the marbles to say it on the stage.
  
  Thanks for sharing that.
