  Would the holy spirit appoint an elder this stupid? Not likely!

  by venusinfauxfurs in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you learn something new in the kingdom hall every week.... .

  i told an elder that i'm not going out in field service yet but god knows why that is and it's between him and i (translation: jehovahs witnesses are not the truth and it's a colossal waste of time) and i assume the elder took it to mean i want to do it but can't for some reason because he said "jehovah doesn't know that though.

  he has to see you out there in field service to know that you're serious.

  Here is the funeral talk outline. VERY discraceful.

  2. beliefs

  this is truly terrible.

  i just love the statement "instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.

  " in other words, utterly disregard the deceased.

  the JW doing my brother's talk today loosely followed this outline, but i think he couldn't go real hardcore because my brother was far from being a JW.

  So sorry for your loss.

  ex-witness to atheist

  by Itsallwrong in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hey all i was a witness most of my life in the lansing area of michigan.

  i've glanced at online communities like this before but mostly shyed away from them because after leaving the organization i became an atheist.

  i'm not ashamed of it by any means, but these forums and websites seem to be mostly filled with folks who are still religious but just don't agree with the governing body's methods.

  Kitty racquet ball

  by juni in

  1. social
  2. humour

  put a ping pong ball in the bathtub tonight - dweezil is playing a game of single's racquet ball while his sister is watching and getting warmed up to play too.

  at times he gets it between his paws and he falls on it and holds it tight to his body (great football maneuver guy) and then bats it again.

  they've been playing for an hour and now it's a game of double's.

  Let the shunning begin, apparently...(long-winded)

  by lilbluekitty in

  2. experiences

  my father and i have been going back and forth on facebook in private messages.

  it had been since august that my dad had contacted me, before i was beginning to "come out" about not wanting to be a jw, and actually i haven't actually stated that to any of my family or jw friends yet, as i was hoping to do the fade thing.. well i wrote to my dad and he has recently been very sr (self-righteous) lately and was copy/pasting "answers" to my questions right out of the wt cd-rom.

  i called him on it and asked him to speak out of his heart.

  The healthiest way for me to deal with it is to just go on with my life, without them. They chose to shun. They chose to be out of my life, and I refuse to grovel and beg for them to be part of my life if they made the personal choice to shun me. I will not give them the satisfaction. I will not validate their beliefs by attempting to maintain a relationship with them that they have made plain they do not want to have.

  That is exactly how I feel. Most jws are so tied up with the Watchtower cult that a normal relationship is next to impossible to have with them.

  after watching serenity's video i had to comment.

  i kept pausing the video looking for family members or others that i might know but haven't seen in years.

  hated the drive to holt, but loved the soft serve ice cream.
