mike just rang me to say that one of my old elders was chasing me up.. bit of background information my brother and his now wife both baptized fell pregnant before they got married, her mum also a jw paid for an abortion!!!!!

anyway my sister in law told me all about it.

i too told a few people i know not wanting to get them into trouble but i guess i didnt want people to think i was the only bad sheep in the family, anyway this was over 2 years ago.. someone that i told has just recently mentioned it to the elders after two years and now they are chasing me up to see if the rumour is true.. mike told him to mind his own business and dont expect for me to call them back.

I can't beleive the hide on these elders. Are they actually expecting a different answer than "go f#$%k yourselves" from someone they kicked out. That would be my response anyway...

as a df'd person i often get jealous when people post about instilling doubts when i don't really get the chance seeming i out.

however, my mother inlaw gets a regular visitor from an older witness and she was asking about the "family happiness" book and how she didn't agree with some of the things said.

However, my mother inlaw gets a regular visitor from an older witness and she was asking about the "family happiness" book and how she didn't agree with some of the things said. Did I let lose or what!

Anyway, I gave her 2 print outs - one a summary of articles of JW's position on the UN from WT articles and the UN NGO letter. Next time he comes she is going to ask him.

I can't wait for the response...

in the beginning... When did you realise it was the truth ?

by AlphaOmega in

sorry to do this... and apologies to minimus for pinching his posting style .

a jw friend of mine was speaking about the moment that witnesses "realise that it's the truth".

they didn't say anymore... so i guess that they feel there is a pattern ??.

sparrow

I agree with Effervescent - I was raised in it and (and I posted this a minute ago on another thread) I respected and believed my parents and never had the reason to question. Until I was DF'd...

Why im not intrested in living in Jeh's New World Order.....

the existence the the guitar is a problem...sure you can playa little..but what happens when someone who has never heard of metal, punk, hard rock or simple rocknroll from this old world start experimenting innocently some sunny day unaware that just under his own fingernails lay the power of evil musical notes-demonic music notes- that strung together would have caused one to be at the very least severely tongue lashed in this old world..but in the new world princes must ensure that all is kept pure and therfore anyone playing the guitar must never invent any song that even remotely sounds like anything from this old world.

perhaps all guitars should be destroyed due to their potential for playing loud screeching metal mayhem.

why take chances.. no competetive sports....oh sure a friendly game of rock counting when ur not enjoying a perfect tomato or singing at the sky in worship.

No oral sex. Do you actually expect me to believe that in the history of the future human race no woman will delight in the polishing of her man's knob? and No man will ever ask his woman to polish that knob? Insanity i tell

I'm not going to beat around the bush.(no pun intended). I love a good head job. (pun intended) I'm not going to make it to the new system soory.

Were you allowed to use the bathroom during meetings?

i have read many post on here about abuse that goes on in the kingdom hall.

one abuse i use to see involved the denial of the bathroom to children during meetings.. .

in the kingdom hall i attended like most expected children to sit still for two hours during the meetings.

Toilet cubicle was the best place to sit when you have a hangover providing no parents came in to belt the living shit out of their kids for mucking up during the meetings. Poor bastards.

36,350 of Jehovah's angels could bring an end to the old system

by Gopher in

the world's population at this moment is approximately 6,731,780,000. http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop.

one angel can execute at least 185,000 humans overnight, according to the bible's account of jehovah wiping out the assyrian army in ancient times.. so take the total 6,731,780,000 and subtract 7 million faithful watchtower adherents, and you are left with 6,724,780,000 non witnesses worthy of everlasting destruction.

divide those 6,724,780,000 humans by 185,000 that 1 angel could take out, and you get 36,350 - the number of angels necessary for complete annihilation.. since there are, as per the bible account, 100 million angels -- less than one-tenth of one percent of all the angels would be needed for this merciful judgment of jehovah's execution.

I wonder if my designated angel would give me a last wish.

If he/she is listening - a bottle of wine and a pizza please

I had no idea there were people who felt like me

by Orgull in

i've recently begun challenging my beliefs.

all my beliefs, including those ingrained in me as one raised "in the truth".. a few years ago i sought therapy for chronic depression and my treatment was remarkably successful.

as a side effect, things that used to "work" for me no longer fit with the new emotional pathways and strengths i was developing.
