  2. beliefs

  in the near future there will be a watchtower that only jw`s can read.what you don`t know is,only jehovah`s witness`s with secret "decoder rings" can read it.....as many of you know,all dead jehovah`s witness`s are being sent to the wbt$.some will be stuffed and sent back to kindom halls.this will help bring up meeting attendance.the rest are being used in the new wbt$ breakfast cereal "dub puffs"..jehovah`s witness`s can get thier secret "decoder ring" by sending in 6 box tops from the new wbt$ breakfast cereal "dub puffs" and thier first born..buy "dub puffs" by the box or by the case..be the first to be able to read the watchtower in your kingdom hall!

  If You've Faded, Do You Still Consider Yourself a Dub?

  by brunnhilde in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been thinking about this a lot, because i've chosen to fade and i would never refer to myself as a jdub, but i've read postings from others who do.

  i would have written a letter a year ago but i've got older parents who are upset enough about me just not attending.

  on another thread someone is also leaving and they were advised to tell the jc to do whatever, to not acknowledge that they have any authority.

  Sassy, that's exactly where I am. I want to reject them so completely they'll never even think about trying to sucker me in again, but I know that's impossible. I've been following a thread on another board about a woman who just wants them to stop calling at her door. She can't understand why they will not just leave her alone. The dubs say it's holy spirit, I say they're emotional cockroaches!

  I'm SO glad to hear you're ok. I feel sick for you and I hope things will ease up. At least you can still post so you have an outlet and some support. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

  after a few years of humming and hawing, i decided i would.

  it was more of what i would take that held me back then if i should go.. i'm only 28, so i'm not too far behind.

  we'll see how working full time and going to school will go.

  That is TERRIFIC, Kwin!! I've been going to school and working full-time for the last year. It's wonderful, definitely exhausting, but I'm happier than I have EVER been. I took three classes this semester, and it might have been a little ambitious (I'm really wiped out!) but I"m also enjoying the "Sacred Texts From Around the World" class especially. We're in the middle of a section on Hinduism which is completely fascinating. We're heading into Buddhism next! Keep us posted on how it goes...

  UN-BE-FLIPPING-LIEVABLE chance JW meeting moments ago...

  by Confession in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is trippy.... the set-up: every weekend, 45 weekends per year, a company flies me to a different city in the u.s., and has me lead group presentations to families of college-bound high school students.

  we then offer to sell them our college preparation program.. a few weekends ago we were in fresno, california.

  he asked which organization it was.

  Just makes me sick, the casual way they hammer people with the emotional blackmail, and teach the R&F to use it on anyone who tries to get out. My mom just sent me a letter begging me to reconsider, for the sake of my precious little boy's life! I thought, you do realize that the God YOU worship is the one you believe will KILL him, right??

  Update: Discussion with my wife last night

  by Paralipomenon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those not familiar, i faded from the organization many years ago and my wife hasn't been to any meetings or service in about 5-6 years either.

  though she insists she's still a jw so we don't celebrate holidays and the children aren't allowed to participate in holiday activities at school.

  i was content for many years to just let her do her own thing, but when the children started going to school i noticed how confusing it was for them.

  Para, that really is wonderful. My husband was hinting around at doing the "we're not dubs but we don't do holidays" and I said, no way. That's hypocritical - either we're in and we're doing it right, but if we're out (and we are OUT!!) then there is NO reason to put him through that! I'm so SO happy you were able to find some middle ground for your kids. I suspect your wife will start figuring out how silly the whole thing is since she's already willing to participate helping your kids. Good for you both!

  My mom just sent me one. You know, we love you so much; we don't want to lose you; don't risk your precious little boy's life; blah blah blah, garbage blah dronetalk. Made me so angry I can't even talk about it. The ONLY reason I haven't DA'd myself is for THEM! I'm trying not to freak out and do anything in the heat of the moment, but I'm just so angry and hurt. Its not enough that I wasted my entire life in the Borg, now they want me to come back and be miserable some more! They KNOW how unhappy I was and yet, it's not enough. I don't care that they think they're doing the best for me, that doesn't matter. What matters is what it did to me - the result, not the EFFING INTENT!!! Otherwise Osama Bin Laden would be considered a great guy, right!!! Sorry, I'm sure this is a little incoherent, I'm just so bloody angry!!!!
