  ugh... plaintive letter to return to the KH

  by chickpea in

  got a letter today from a really nice guy who was in the bs group that met in my home for 10+ yrs.... privy to some of the huge issues my family has faced.... smart enough guy, ubm, at least one grown kid in and married into a huge 2nd/3rd generation family, grandkids yada yada...... he saw, but did not speak to me, at the school performance i alluded to in another post........ http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/156961/1.ashx......... as far as i know we never even made eye contact..... it was a crowded event in an elementary school but i saw him as he and his wife arrived late and scurried for seating.

  at any rate.... this is part of a letter that came in the mail today ..... i cannot believe the spin that the r&f are fed and seem to swallow down without the fava beans and nice chianti ( i do not mean to berate his heartfelt and genuinely offered plea.... i just cannot stomach the blind allegiance to the b0rg) .

  i have talked to a few of the friends about what can be done to encourage you and your family and decided to simply put a few thoughts in a letter.

  I had a good relationship with Jesus. He was my 8th grade boyfriend and was a really great kid. We had lots of fun at lunch and even went to the movies once. Then his family moved back to Puerto Rico and I never saw him again!

  He was a great kisser too but his last name wasn't Christ.

  I wonder how my parents believed and still believe, I wonder how my siblings that are still in still believe even after being df'd numerous times and still probably living a double life. I guess some people need someone or something to give them direction and guidance for every move or decision they make in life. They can't function without the F&DS telling them how to live, breath and behave, even if it's a lie and a bunch of BS.

  I was forced fed this crap from birth, but never believed it. Never interested in the bible and all the doom and gloom, we are better than everyone else BS. I left just as soon as I was no longer a minor. I thank the flying spaghetti monster that I had the brains enough to get my arse out of that cult before I wasted my life and ruined my children! 18 years is all they got from me and I didn't even give 100% to that but I learned how to pretend and play games really well. I can still cry real tears when needed even if I don't want to, learned that from meeting with elders multiple times cause I just couldn't follow the rules. You learn real fast that tears and I'm sorry, I'll never to that again will get you through a JC with no problem. That is unless my elders were just really, really stupid

  Thanks Flying Spaghetti Monster I will be forever indebted to you!

  What will you do when the Great Tribulation Begins?

  by Malkiel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've always wanted to ask this question to those that have decided to leave the organization.. what will you do when the great tribulation begins?.

  right now folks, a lot is happening in the political world.. gordon brown (prime miniter of england) last week gave a speech to the un stating that it is time for the un to step in and solve the world's problems, (specifically mentioning the economy and hunger crisis worldwide.).

  barrack obama is shaping up to be the next president, a fellow who sure knows how to persuade and lead great crowds.

  OH WAIT. Your kids or grandkids will most likely look up accurate information and get out of the WT
  organization, so you will still be shunning them on your deathbed. Nevermind.

  OTWO - I like that!

  Sweetie, god doesn't exist at least for me. So how on earth could I be mad at something that does not exist? I love my family and fortunately those that matter to me are not JW's so it really doesn't matter. Like I said I'd rather die than live as JW for the rest of my life. Been there done that until I was 18, I had sense enough to leave that nonsense and have a happy life.

  If being a JW and living forever petting wild animals is what makes you happy and gives you reason to carry on then go for it, but stop preaching it to the choir, most of us here on JWD have heard it all before and I can only speak for myself but I don't want to hear your doom an gloom. Keep waiting on Jehoober you will grow old and die.

  Elders Asking For Your Number

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i saw 2 elders at my mother's , waiting outside, "worrying" that something might've happened to her because she didn't answer her door.

  (i had just brought her back from her doctor's appt.).

  when they saw me, one immediately said, we want your number to call you in case we need to get in touch with you.

  777-9311 In the event you don't know what that number is, it's an old Prince song. I always give that to people I don't want to have my number.

  I live every day of my life to the fullest! I refuse to go through this life that I have right here in front of me worrying about something that I have no control over. I refuse to live my life limiting myself and my abilities, not using my brain to think for myself because some god is gonna wipe out everyone if they are not JW. If it comes, which by the way I think is Bu!!$#!! then I'll kiss my black arse goodbye and give god the finger on my way out.

  I'm happy, I live a full life. I love my family, am a good person. If it does come then I guess I'll be dead and i'm okay with that. Death doesn't scare me and I can't change it. Why worry about it?

  No, I find it hard to love something that does not give a ratz arse about anything he/she/it supposedly created. BTW, I don't love the tooth fairy, santa clause or peterpan either!

  I did for a while try to be a good little jw because I thought my mother would love me if I did. She still didn't love me so I said to hell with it!
