she's your neighbor, so, like she runs to your mom and tell her things, knock on her door and curse her out and set her straight.

Ended my last J-Dub friendship...
by Joliette ini wrote her a text message telling her not to contact me anymore.
found out that she went back and told my mother some stuff about me.. i shouldnt have never given her my phone number....she's my next door neighbor.. she would always ask if i was going back to the kingdom hall, i would tell her no...people know that i'm not going back to the kingdom hall, and they still think that i'm going back.. i'm planning on moving from my hometown in 2 years and i cannot wait to leave!!!!
so tired of people still thinking i'm a j-dub, i've told people i havent been to the kingdom hall since 2011, and they still think i'm going back.

They're just as pumped up like the folks who attend the ego building rallies Drumpf holds for himself when he needs his ego to be boosted.

James Donalds - sound like a fake name, you remind me of someone who used to post here under a few different names.
You know darn well you're not a dyed in the wool JW if you smoke cigars, also you wouldn't be posting here with all of us "evil apostates" if you were a faithful JW

JW's on my front sidewalk
by OnTheWayOut inso last weekend, the jw's ring the bell and my wife answers.
we live in a heavily spanish neighborhood but don't really speak spanish.
i thought my wife was quite clear that she is a "sister" to them, but maybe the one in charge of the group didn't get the message.

Hooray! Bound volumes in the trash!
by stillin inmy wife has held onto them like they were family heirlooms.
we are cleaning and clearing out accumulated stuff and i pointed out that there is the cd-rom library now and that the society has made revisions and really doesn't want us to be reading the old stuff.
she said that even though there have been changes to the teachings, the wrong understanding served its' purpose at the time.

WHen I cleaned out my parents house, the first thing I had them throw in the bin was those bound volumes, going back to the early 60's. But then, I think we're doing what the Borg is doing with them now, they don't acknowledge out their bullshit and lies from way back when, so I guess we made them happy by throwing them out?

Encounter with a long time elder. (Jehovah's happy people)
by freddo inso i'm at work and go to my vehicle parked outside the empty property i'm working at and an elderly man comes out of next door and we recognise each other from when we were elders in the same circuit.
he is early 80's in age, a jw since the 1960's and so the next generation in age up from me.. he's an outwardly jolly sort and asks how i am etc.
(knows i'm not an elder but thinks i'm pimi) and asks if i want a cup of tea so i go in and sit in his kitchen for my lunchbreak and have a chat.. i have a little fish around and ask about how jw's in his hall are.

Work Colleague Went To a JW Funeral - His Experience
by pale.emperor inso the guy in my office on the desk next to me has just got back from the funeral of his wifes sister.
this was his first time in a kh and full on exposure to jwdom.. bit of background: the deceased jw was not a born in, she was a convert when she was in her teens.
she died last week at the age of 82. the poor old dear was still zealously knocking on doors while in ill health.

I didn't have my mom's funeral at the KH, but I let a brother give the talk, I pointed out to him DO NOT make it sound like a sale pitch for the Dubs.
He didn't, but if he was going to veer off subject and do it anyway, I would've had no problem whatsoever calling him out on it in front of everyone.

They are using a child to emotionally engage you. It is a manipulation.
When I moved into my own apt my mother gave my ph number to one of the young sisters in the KH to call me so she could invite me to the hall. I told her when she called " when I used to see you at my mom's house you never came into living room to stop and have a convo with me, so why are you calling me like we're friends? She had to admit the above was true, it was just a sneaky ploy by mother, to whom I had a conversation about giving out my number !!

What’s The Strangest Belief of Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by minimus inthere’s a lot.
i think one strange view is how only 144000 go to heaven.
since the number is mentioned in the symbolic book of revelation, you would expect that the number would be viewed as figurative, but jws say otherwise.
