  <!-- .style1 {font-family: arial, sans-serif} .style2 {font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; } .style3 {color: #912427} --> the territories we were banned from preaching after an interesting phone call yesterday with an ex-jehovah's.

  witness, it was mentioned during the course of the conversation.

  that the watchtower society had placed restrictions on certain.

  To be a Nice Apostate or a Mean Apostate.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  ..... that is the question.. how do you react - and is it a 'planned reaction', when confronted with jdubs in public?.

  i have personally determined that i will not allow people whom i knew for 40 years in some cases to 'shun' me without a cost to the reputation of their religion in the eyes of those who see it.. if i come face to face with a witness who turns the other way or rudely brushes past [as if i am dead], i will point out to all in the area [carefull not to appear the raving lunatic] that this is the way jehovah's witnesses act toward one who has quietly left their faith.

  i expect two things will begin to happen as a result.. 1- witnesses will become so paranoid of the possiblility of meeting me and being embarrassed in public, that they will alter their schedules to avoid the places i might be.

  Damn sKally!
  Finally, someone who does something more than whine! Following Dubs door-to-door... THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
  You do realize that crazy demoniacs trying to stop this vital work is a sign of being in the last-minute-of-the-last-hour-of-the-last-day though.. don't you????
  
  YOU ROCK!!!

  Dubville, USA

  many of the jws in my old cong (about 40%) lived in a trailer court, which was in turn owned by a jw.

  they seemed to enjoy living together in their little "dubville," surrounded by other jws.

  even when i was still a jw, the thought of living there made me recoil.

  I guess I'm DD'd ( didn't dunk )
  After being raised as a witless, I luckily (OOPS!... I mean fortunately) didn't quite go through with the initition rites...
  Put's me in a better position with the family too and if any dubs try to condemn me,
  I can just quote brother Charlie...
  "You can't kill me... I'm already dead!"

  i know that no song other than one of those toe-tappin' hits that are fds approved will ever be sung at a kh but who here has found any (biblically accurate) up-lifting songs?.

  Imagine if the Watchtower crumbled and ceast to exist....

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wouldn't this be a disaster for the majority of the jw's who need guidance and control?.

  all their dreams of paradise earth would be gone.

  they would have to start focusing on the time they have left to live.. although the watchtower is a controling organization and a false prophet, can we say that it has it's use for some people?.

  there is an elder in my congregation that has a very strong personality.

  he drove volkswagens and many bought the same make as he did.

  we had another elder back then that drove a dodge aries and another elder who had a peugeot garage and he sold so many second hand peugeots to members of the congregation.

  An Elder driving a car named after an astrological sign???.... Was he, perhap's implying that he was of the sheep (ram) class?
  
  Actually, most of the zealous dubs that I knew would have rearranged the letters on the trunk to read "ARISE" or "RAISE" instaed or "ARIES"
