Are you still scared of Jehovah?
by MsMcDucket in
1. jw
2. friends
i remember the watchtower organization having me so scared of jehovah that i was getting paranoid.

i kept thinking he was watching me no matter where i was at.

i wouldn't dare say anything bad against the organization because jehovah was listening to me.

did anyone else's congregation "strongly encourage" this practice?

when i was a worshiping rusell.... jehovah.

i felt sick to my stomach and disgusted that these people had absolutely no consideration for the beliefs or practices of others.

i usually tell them i'm da.i tend to feel like it's my way of respecting their belief that way.when i was a dub i wouldn't have wanted to talk to a df or da ed person.i was at a family wedding a couple of weeks ago and lots of people came up and said hi to me.people who know who i am and know i'm da ed.i was polite and said hi back but i didn't really talk to anyone unless they talked to me first.i'm asking this question because my second cousin came up to me and said hi.he asked how i was doing i said i'm great.then i told him i'm da ed.he said really i said yes it's been 8 happy years since i left.then i walked away.i think i was rude.what do you say when people come up to you and say hi?

lately i've noticed more and more jw groups on myspace seem to be disappearing and losing members.

at first i egotistically thought might have something to do with my efforts (i sometimes suffer from delusions of grandeur).

however, a couple posts came to my attention on two of the private jw groups.... .

Guess what happened with the new CO?
by MinisterAmos in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm not particularly fond of the way that the bros fawn over the ranking members when they visit.

after all, there is no rank in the jws right?

that's what they say anyway.. so i rebel and don't go at all when the co or do come to visit.

i got up in time for breakfast so i was in a pretty good mood.

Demonic expereiences
by Tyrone van leyen in
1. jw
2. experiences
all bs and religion aside we've all heard the demon stories of the witnesses but has anyone actually had an personal experience such that you can't explain with your rational mind that shocked you and may lend credence to the possibility of something paranormal.

not something hyped, or emotional,but something your gut told you is just couldn't happen and did?

After a year of enjoying reading posts I've decided to join!
by Little G in

i'm just an average guy that been there, done that in the jw domain :) .

i reached my "zenith" lol in such domain at the early age of 20 (i'm now 29) while expanding the work in various foreign language congs as a ms with almost all elder privileges except participating in jc's...the only jc i took part was mine last year :).

by the way, my last wife, a christian, caught me several times reading your posts... she thinks that all of us (including myself) are just a bunch of frustrated individuals...oh well no wonder she left :).
