" - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.

a link to the article, which includes the youtube samples of the production, is below:.

I've emailed Cedars my comments from home just as I posted them on the blog last night. I don't know why my ISP would be associated with spam.

When you are DF'd or DA'd, they still keep tabs on you...

by MC RubberMallet in

.

In my experience, the only time I was contacted after being df'd was probably because my mom learned of my new address and asked the elders to contact me. This was prior to the internet being widely available, so I doubt they found me on their own, as my last name was different, I was in a state different than the one I was df'd from, and I'd moved several times.

They never bothered me again after the initial visit, because I told them that my current husband would more than likely use physical force against them. He really, really, really doesn't like jws.

Getting it off my chest.

by Tamasin in

hi all, i have been a "lurker" here for some time and feel like i want to share my experience in the hope that it relieves me of dark thoughts i can't shake.

i was "brought into the truth" by a guy, he had to let me study with a girl of course but always had me ear marked to preach in bangladesh one day.

fyi this is a guy who was disfellwoshipped many times and once shaved his head and sent it to bethel apparently it's something to do with some form of repentance in the bible or something?

Welcome! That guy sounds like almost a big a wack job as my jw ex-husband!

Unfortunately...they are giving a MUCH better witness worldwide than we thought...as my old bible study is telling me

by oompa in

jw

because i remember how freaked out some would get if something bad happend and "oh my, that is such a bad witness!

i hope that does not make the papers"...oh i heard that one a lot...same if a "bad witness" was seen on tv or your name is in the paper for a dwi, urinating in public, indecent exposure, (not my bio) but we/they always hated the masses seeing anything negative right?!?!?!?.

and funny how important that all the world know the truth right???

JWN poster, Tuesday AKA Tim Kilgore on Youtube stopped counting at, I think, 400 jws that his videos helped out of the cult.

Things you must avoid at all cost!!

by redvip2000 in

i'd like to ask if you recall certain things you were forced to avoid or throw out because they were supposedly demonic, or connected with the occult, or even just plain bad.. i remember we were told to avoid the harry potter movies and books, because he is a magician.

also acdc music.. lol.. .

and oh yeah, during a talk an elder specifically mentioned the show "married with children", because it was a bad example of how a family should behave.

John Cougar (I know I'm dating myself) something about his song "Hurt So Good" not being appropriated for young jws.
Oh, that's funny! My first husband's non-jw father used to sit on the front poch, get drunk on homemade wine, and sing the hell out of that song! He was a one man band; played the harmonica, guitar, and foot drum.
