Letter to mom
by dawg in
1. jw
2. friends
sent a letter to mom 4 days ago, came back today stamped "returned" on it... she wouldn't even open it... it had some nice comments in it too.

stupid blanking cult, blinds the eyes of folks so they won't even read what we have to say.

I'm not taking this crap from no one fooled by the WT
by dawg in
1. jw
2. friends
so, as many of you know, i wrote a letter three months ago and told my family the goods about this cult... i think i was kind enough yet firm enought to get my point across-let's hope so as i'm not exactly ernest hemmingway when it comes to writing.

here's the best part to come of it.

not one of my letters was ever given to the elders; apparently i'm not going to be disfellowshipped for apostacy-which honestly i could give a big rat's ass less about that one, and best of all, the letter has made it even to people that i didn't even send it to which means it's being passed around.

Hard line stance taken-results are in!
by dawg in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i recently wrote a letter to every family member i could find an address to which exposed the wt org as the group of fools they actually are!

interesting thing is that not one letter was sent to my home congregation by anyone and the letter circulated to almost every family member i have; so instead of turning me in as i suspected they would do, they are talking about it openly and distributing it to all family members-even ones i couldn't find an address to.

i'm winning this war!

by dawg in
1. jw
2. friends
i've heard there are now two watchtowers being distributed; one for publishers and one the general public.

can anyone confirm this?

also, i've heard the wtbts is suggesting that people get rid of the internet in their homes... is this true?

Funny story about a funeral
by dawg in
1. social
2. relationships
my uncle died last month (father's side), so i mustered up the courage to attend the funeral; he was never baptised and i was never disfellowshipped so folks still talk to me thinking i'm da not realizing i'm a full flegged apostate-this has since changed as i've decided to come forward since then.

so the elder gets up and gives the funeral sermon complete with many of the bible myths talking snake and all... sounds like a damn bad acid trip.

so after the graveside service one of my old friends i haven't seen in 17 years comes up and says "did you learn anything by todays sermon'?

How do you guys know that standing firm won't work
by dawg in
1. jw
2. friends
so, many of you have rightfully challenged my beliefs that standing firm and telling your families exactly what you feel about the wtbts won't work.... i submit that it doesn't work becasue we don't stand together!

if all of us would stand firm say what we know to be true, do it publically, and not back down then i guarentee you there are many in the congs that want out of this crap and their just too scared to do anything becasue they don't want to lose their families.

in my family there are many that call me privately and tell me they know the wt is a crock of shit but won't stand up against it!

Tell me your story for my next door neighbor
by dawg in
1. jw
2. experiences
ok, so my next door neighbor is thanks i'm slightly insane, we're friends and he actually knows i'm insane.

i think he finds it hard to believe that a religion can be so controlling.

please halp me, and remember that whatever you say may be used in an article i'm writing for the atlanta journal constitution.

by dawg in
1. jw
2. experiences
my cousin has left the borg, all on his own and he sounds like a recording of me!

i'm no longer alone after 17 years; now i have someone to talk to and his experiences are alot like mine.

to think, he refused to talk to me for over 17 years!

OK now, I'm really an apostate
by dawg in
1. jw
2. experiences
so, i go to my jw uncle's funeral for obvious reasons!

after the funeral my family invites me to dinner, something we haven't done for some time (probably 8 years or so) as i'm considered disassociated not disfellowshipped.

i guess this is allowed per the new jw policy but since that crap changes from time to time i'm not sure.

Why not just leave religion alone altogether?
by dawg in
1. jw
2. friends
i was wondering why many of you turn to to other religions after being freed from the foolishness of the jw's?

after i relieved myself of the burden of the foolish witnesses, i was able to understand god in my own fashion and i've never felt better.

many religions pratice mind control similar to the wittnesses so why not free yourselves from all of them?
