what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?

its funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.

share you experiences here :) .

I've only talked to one, who I still considered a friend after leaving. He opened the door for me by telling me about his own ordeal in which he was nearly disfellowshipped for apostasy.
I proceeded to tell him why I no longer attended meetings, and all the things I thought were wrong with the organization. He agreed with me on many points, even admitting he didn't believe that JWs had the absolute truth.
This was a year ago, and I haven't heard from him since. I reached out a couple of times by phone, but he never called me back.

i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

Watchtower only said no because they were afraid that the end might not come until the end of 2000
They also didn't want the brothers and sisters 'partying like it was 1999'. It didn't convey the right sense of urgency.

He's actually Samuel Herd's love child. Not a rumor. It's been confirmed by several reliable JW sources I know.

Also, Golden State winning 73 games was unbelievable! Too bad they will lose to my Celtics in the NBA finals
If Golden State loses to anyone, it will be the Spurs. Celtics won't get the chance.

Was never really a fan of Kobe or the Lakers. I always found him to be a little arrogant, and he had a reputation for being extremely difficult to play with. Phil Jackson described him in his book as being "uncoachable".
But he was a phenomenal talent. And with all due respect to Lebron- the closest thing to Jordan in the last 20 years.

I've heard it could be Darryl, because they don't have him under contract yet for next season. I'm really hoping it's Eugene.

My 14-year-old niece is being disfellowshipped

i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.

she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.

it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

Pathetic. I hope she's no longer going to the meetings, it would only intensify the humiliation.
They moved back home, with her uber-zealous parents. Her mom is in the process of getting a place, but even then my niece is stuck going to the meetings. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Hopefully your brother can use this as an opportunity to bond and support your neice.
Unfortunately, he moved out of state after she took the kids half way across the country, and he lost his job. In fact, that was her initial reason for contacting me, to find out how to get a hold of him. They are in communication now, so we'll see what happens.
Hopefully you can continue to support her buy showing love and kindness even if your still in.
I've been out, myself, for over ten years. As much as I would like to be able to tell her it's all bs, I'm just happy to spend whatever time with her I can.
Hi KS--good to see you posting again--even though its a sore subject.
I still check in from time to time, but I'm trying to distance myself from anything JW related as much as possible. Occasionally, such as now, I need to come on here and vent.
