i just realised that i have committed three 'wbts-sins', or did something at least very questionable in the eyes of the jws, in the past two days (besides the regular sex, drugs and rock&roll of course .

i went to a groooooooooooooovy concert (and i got the signature of the lead-singer on my arm!!!!

and the good thing is: i don't even feel guilty anymore!!!!!!

Isn't that strange?

isnt it strange that within the jw religion (or as i like to call it after reading so many posts here: wbts religion) there are so many differences?

it seems as if they are very similar in their ways all over the world but when you look at it is not always the case.

on the website: www.disfellowshipped.org (as recommended by someone on this site) i found the following sentence:

Abuse

1. jw

so far i've had so many wonderful replies to my questions that i dare to venture one more here.. i will tell you a story about abuse in my family by a guy that has become an elder lately.

i will however change some details as i am still afraid to be recognised and dfd (i faded away very happily).. about 10 years ago a member of my close family was raped by a guy.

even though he was 'only 16' (this has been said as an excuse which really pisses me off), he was raping her when she was only 7 years old!!!

To shun or not to shun

i have a question.

i attended my, ehm i think the english word is lie in state (the action of going to a room in which a person who died lies and you can say goodbye with only close relatives, like a few days for the funeral) of my grandfather who recently died and something peculiar happened.. just before we left from my grandmothers house, my cousin who is dfd showed up.

i decided to drive with my sister and brother-in-law to the place and my sister was really upset that he came over and was also going to the 'lie in state'.

Question about JW and Brooklyn
by Eppie in
1. jw
2. friends
hai all,.

i have a question: when i read on this site i notice that many people are upset by the organisation of jw and not necessarily their beliefs (also, but less upset maybe?).

i have a question though: we talk about jws being indoctrinated and brainwashed etc., but where does it originate?

Desire to talk to an elder
by Eppie in
1. jw
2. friends
hey everyone,.

i have a question: i am happily faded but i recently got the desire to talk to an elder of my old congregation.

the problem is that he doesn't know i am faded (i kinda disappeared from jw archives while moving to college), and that i do not want to get into trouble by this.

hey all,.

i just came across this site today and i decided to join the gang :).

don't worry about the topic, i am not a jw that is trying to convert you back into the religion.
