judgmental and condemning mindset of the b0rg.....

Are You A Better Person Since Leaving The Witnesses?
by minimus inare you a better neighbor, friend, husband, wife, etc.
i'm much less judgmental of what people do or think.
i'm more tolerant and i think i have real friends that are not as conditional as my jw brethren.. what about you?.

Did you ever try any of the awkward, and somewhat creepy suggestions in the KM for Informal Witnessing?
by miseryloveselders inthe august km, has an article entitled, "you can witness informally!
" this week's service meeting will cover half of the 13 questions.
next week, congregations will finish the article along with a box full of several experiences with successful results from informal witnessing.

when i was being "pioneer-assisted"
(may the gods forgive me, all of them)
i actually DID do a creepy memorial day
IN THE CEMETARY stalking witnessing
using that little tract with the kid sitting
at a headstone.... my pioneer was so
proud of me.... <stabs self in eye>PLUS we had a gung ho CO who would
take groups out in the winter to do the
D2D amongst the fishing shacks on the ice!!oh, and yeah, the KH i attended was
crazy nuts about the phone witnessing....
we used to do it at least once a month -

Time for me to bid goodbye for a season.
by LouBelle ini joined this site a good few years ago for the support it offered, and i received an overwhelming response, questions to my answers, suggestions on which books to read, life advice.
i then fizzled out for about a year and proceeded to become an active member later on and again it was great, finally got to actually meet someone from here, which was great, he'll be a friend for life, i have had lost friends *dansk i remember you with fondness still*, have seen drama unfold, but i think that time has rolled around once more.. the season has changed and it's time for to say my cheerios.. .
thank you to all that have been so wonderful.

Don't leave, its God's organization....
by dissed inrecently, i've been seeing this argument displayed here more frequently by those still believing jw's.. usually in reply to arguments they can not answer well, like 1914, generation(s), etc.... its almost like, they are are having serious doubts as well, but their fall back is, "but its god organization....where else would you go......don't leave, we are so close to the end".
as one recently shared their experience with a jc.
the elders, when feeling trapped on explanations, fell back to this defense.

Have you stopped pushing yourself physically and mentally?
by compound complex indear recovering friends,.
lady lee's thread on health issues and disabilities prompts this thread.
removed now from theocratic pursuits and 'pouring yourself out like a drink offering' at all costs, are you tending to your mental and physical health realistically and without feeling guilt?.

my pushes in those realms are more vigorous than ever
because i have a keen desire to make the most i can
out of this one sure life i have!as far as mental exertion goes, i am academically
engaged and while it is hard(er) for me since i have
seen age 50 come and go, it is thrilling to be able to
learn something of value, not some tripe i managed to
keep swallowing for 20 years!!!physically, i am trying to recover from poor habits
and seem to be making headway, so that is a push
i dont mind making at all....gotta go.... i have a test today in pathophysiology and protocols!!
srsly!!!
