i went to the hall last night to get an insight book and a concordance.
i had set it up with an elder ahead of time to get them.
i arrived after the meeting had ended, walked up to the counter anxious to leave as quickly as i came when a big brother came up to me, planted his body in between me and the literature servant and started giving me the third degree about who i am, what is my standing in the congregation, and what did i want the books for.
I sort of feel sorry for the spanish bros since most of them don't know the true WT background and just do as they're told.
Serg...the majority of the JWs don't know the history of the Org, no matter what their race. They are all doing what they are told.
clearly, the internet and sites like this one helped get me out.
once i started continuously reading how the organization and watchtower writings were bogus, i couldn't help but get out!
.
NOPE!!!! I fell away long before I ever started reasearching JWs or ex-JWs. The way I was treated by my "brothers and sisters" made me want to get the hell out!!!!

Um...did he just stand there and watch? He knew you were coming for the books and he didn't say anything? What a pussy!
backstory: i just moved out of the house my soon-to-be-ex and i own together.
he's staying until the house sells.
in the meantime, i'm paying half the mortgage and half the utilities.
Ah, I got you. Sometimes humor escapes my notice. ;-)
It happens to us all, John. When you don't hear the tone of voice and see facial expressions, sarcasm and humor can come accross as immaturity. Luckily, we are all adults here and give each other the courtesy of an explanation when our comments are questioned.

SweetPea: Not sure I understand exactly what you're saying, though I'm sorry it sounds like you had a tough time when you split with your spouse.
Did you mean sweetface?
I don't care how "amicable" a divorce and/or separation is, but they are all very difficult. You don't know how bad it is until you go through it. It doesn't get easier the closer you get to court dates, it gets harder. You never really know how vicious and spiteful that BOTH men and women can be until you divorce them.
It was my decision to leave, I packed up my shit, turned in my keys, and walked away from him. I bought him out of the house 6 months later and took over the possession, but until then, it wasn't my house. My point was that in the majority of divorce cases the agreement is for the guy to pay the entire mortgage and utilities, as well as alimony and child support (if there were kids involved.) What makes women think that they should be exempt from the same standards?

No offense, and I AM divorced, but women make those kinds of demands on men all of the time. In most cases the guy pays the ENTIRE mortgage and utilities. I see no reason why the shoe can't be on the other foot. When my ex and I split, I had to turn my keys in and give notice as to when I was coming by. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
has anyone read it "jehovah is a lover of justice " page 26 paragraph 16 & 18 please read it .
what rubbish .
the biggest pile of pig shit ever written
DAMN...why do I find derogatory comments about the Org and their practices so erotic?
please post your favorite screen name on jwd.
there are many clever screen names of jwd posters.
i had to narrow down my list of favorites to arrive at my overall favorite, which is "abaddon.
I'm just glad we don't see nasty screen names like the ones permitted on yahoo. I randomly get IMs from names like "mrngwud69", "majktung4u", "ebonyc***nyerivoryp***y"...ICK!!!!!!!

There are 6.7 million publishers, so it is not too fluffed.
And once again, WHERE are we reading that there are 6.7 million publishers? I find it very hard to believe.
well, there you go , i got a reply,,,yes, they are jw's,,the 'only' people doing this work .
(here is their original ad on craigslist .

At present, over 6 million such Study Courses are being held.
EXCUSE ME???? Does that mean that they are expecting a jump to 12 million or are they counting "personal study" in this? And, I'm sure not every witness even does personal study. I never did.
People who have taken the course, learn the answers to very basic questions, within a short period of time, (a week or 2), which others won’t learn in 50, 60 or more years within a denomination
I was a witness for 28 years and I still don't know shit!
They are volunteers in the truest sense of the word; using their own funds to accomplish this, without re-imbursement.
You should respond and ask how these volunteers feel that their "own funds" are being used to silence the mouths of pedophile victims and their families.
