an elder who lives nearby has decided to be play the twat with me recently.
i have been out for nearly 2 years, which makes it even more pathetic on his part.. after leaving, this character (thinking i was depressed), would give me the most tactless, thoughless advice that you have ever heard.
he loved 'giving it to me' right outside my house.
the only problem is how it looks to jw when you shun them back.
THEY obey "gods law" and what to save you from death @armageddon. what noble deeds!
YOU are a weirdo full of hate and the way you treat true christians testifies that you're controlled by satan.
sounds stupid, but thats just the way it is.
i think i'm at like 5 or something...i think.. just disappearing without saying goodbye counts.. .
so here we go.... .
wlg - 5.
i dont feel like theres any need of saying goodbye. i come here when i need it or when im bored and dont come here if i dont need im not bored :) simple, but effective.
i can easily imagine me not visiting the forum for years and come back again.
i dont like goodbye threads (at least i wouldnt make one), since the first time you usually come back is the moment when you check what the others answered to your goodbye thread. LOL! :-D
christian witnesses of jah .
come now the christian witnesses of jah.
that is why it must be our purpose to not serve jah or jesus by pleasing men.
i just wonder whos that god who let so many religions exist with every single one promoting themselves as the only one true religion... how could a human find the right religion? its impossible. somethings wrong with all that stuff.
given the chance that greg just founded the true religion. i wont join because i dont trust religion anymore. time to die for me at some judgement day?
hi folks!.
when you're using firefox you probably know the problem that posting here with firefox is very featureless.
but switching to ie for jwd?
I'm certainly no computer guru, but if someone does what you suggest, then that setting could easily be noticed by other users of that computer if they happen to look at the Firefox settings, correct?
ya, of course. but you dont have to put in this setting. with the addon installed you can switch back from ie and ff engine with a single click in the lower bar. the setting just makes it kinda invisible while using it :-)

Hi folks!
When you're using Firefox you probably know the problem that posting here with firefox is very featureless. But switching to IE for JWD? Nooooooooo!
Here the solution i realized not everyone is using already:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
You can configure this addon in a way that every page will be opened with the normal firefox engine but only JWD will be opened with the IE engine in the firefox window.
just install the addon and add in the settings the page
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/*
as being opened by IE Tab instead of the firefox engine (notice the asterisk).
You wont even notice it after that :-) and you have the full featured posting editor :D

my siblings who have left (3/7 last count) have no desire to talk about or hear about much less read about what the deal is witht the org our parents decided would bring them everlasting life.
it is head shaking to me - and i try not to bring it up at all- but when they ask, or it comes up and they are all freaked out about me being interested in it all i just shake my head.
even friends i grew up with in the org have no desire to know - they are just not interested.
@bigwilly
for me its incredible hard to understand that some ppl dont feel the urge to look behind the curtain. it feels for me like being ignorant and even somehow "dumb". dont get me wrong... its just that i couldnt leave the JWs when i would be unsure whether its right or not. i wouldnt feel honest to myself. what if its right and i go away without checking it? what about staying knowing its wrong (thats what im doing actually because of fear but i feel horrible with it when i think about it)?
before i began doubting i thought nearly all real jws are like me. wanting to know the truth wanting to know it in detail and all of them are JWs because they did not like the fuzzy way some other religions do it. not accurate not studying over and over again to prove it again and again. i thought that until i realized that noone proves and studys for real. they're reading one source and proving itself is forbidden. its only swallowing stuff other humans think is right. dont ask.
in the end its normal that most ex-jws are not interested in studying whether the jws are right or wrong... they never learned it at all. simple like that.

i made the same experience. MOST jws and exjws just dont care about the religion at all. some are "in" because they always were and some are out because they dont wanna live with the rules anymore but often think its the right way to live still. THEY DONT CARE! i dont get it either. they live their life without thinking about right or wrong. someone tells them whats right and the maximum they decide is whether they want to do what someone said or not. i would love to follow rules if it would feel right to me and i dont have an intention to break any. im of the worst kind of apostates... i want to find the truth and not sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
under JWs there are virtually no bible students anymore. thats my impression and with every gathering/book study i visit this comes clearer and clearer. even the most made up doctrine in the revelation book is swallowed and forgotten in a nanosecond. "next section please".
braindead, thats what i think about it.
when it makes me a nerd to think about it im glad to be one :P
guess who it was??
i give ya about ten minutes then i'll tell ya.
This guy?

Ah crap. Can't do it on Firefox.
If somebody else wants to do it right on Explorer, go ahead.
Open Mind
http://homepage.smc.edu/meeks_christopher/who_lives_faceless.jpg hey, im using firefox and can do it nevertheless ;D haha! theres a firefox plugin "IE Tab" which can be configured to use the IE engine inside firefox for specific websites (search the ff addon page). i use it for jwd only. freeme
man i love the feeling of power i get when people run away w/o me doing anything but beiing me.. but now that i think about it.
it's not my power but the power that fear has over them.
dang it i liked my first feeling better.. anywho.. i was in walmart yesterday and i was walking down the main aisle when the p.o.
I got shunned by a witness who before I faded was a life long friend. Can you believe it was at my son's engagement party. She said '' I can't talk to you until you get some help from the elders.'' It was quite an eye opener to my relatives who are all non witnesses. I was able to point out to them that this is what happens if you join their religeon then decide to leave.
its simply incredible what "religion" can do to ppl. there very fine friends and ppl in the org (i know them because we were friends since childhood), but when the switch is turned they go hating for no reason and feel right with it. its simply incredible.
so much for a loving god if you're a bible apologist and take genesis literally.
"after he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the garden of eden cherubim and a *flaming sword* flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
" genesis 3:24 niv .
i was upset about that fact in early dub life already and asked a elder about that.
he came up with a satisfying (at least back then when i was a good dubbie) answer for me. unfortunately i cant remember it very well :-(
edit: ah the QFR!! ya! he told me exactly this! now i know where he got it from! interesting!
