as many of you know, i've been out of the organization for about a month now.
the elders haven't shown an interest in my absence until now.
today, i have received phone calls from two elders as well as a friend.
I think this is a good indication of what JW "friends" are like. They're just more WT "tools" to pressure conformity and sticking with the cult.
Something to remember is that they only have power over you that YOU give them. You're upset now because you still allow them to upset you. And I think we all have been there. WT has a mastery over fear, obligation, and guilt that keeps people enslaved to their craziness.
You really don't have to tell them anything if you don't want to.
i don't typically hear from my mom often, but i tell you, over the past couple of weeks, i have heard from her several times.
you heard the comment about "our way of worship will be altered" and thank you for your posts by the way....but yesterday, she calls and is asking about the kids and then, in typical jw fashion mind you, says:.
"you know, you should really get back to meetings.
I remember when they would close the summer convention with, "If armageddon hasn't come before next year, arrangements are being made for a 4 day convention..."
There was always the expectation that it would come in the next few months or year, at the most. And I remember some COs that would similarly close their visit with something like, "Armageddon may come before my next scheduled visit, so you all stay strong and I'll be back to see you on the other side..."
Now the CO is saying it could be 15 years? So the longer time goes on, the further away armeggon is getting? Their JW cultcarts need to get redesigned as senior citizen walkers.
jw.org is the fastest growing media outlet in the world, our local cobe said we are going to take the media from satan's wicked world!
repent before it's too late and come back to the kingdom hall with all your loving brothers and sisters!
you won't find happiness without jehovah's organization and you know it!
to prove her loyalty to me, she's handcuffed herself to me!
WT doesn't "brainwash", they "wash minds clean." Similarly, your wifely JW owner doesn't "handcuff" you, she "lovingly controls your hands."
"50 Shades of Cart"
i talked with my pusher, puller i mean, she's really pissed off i opened up a twitter account she's threatening to drive her car over my frame if i misbehave and more, so much for my point of view.
after much deliberation, we decided she could count her field service minutes only if people see my pretty logo (jw.org), finally she took me off the roof-rack and returned me to my right place, passenger side.
in the passenger's seat of our car, i smile at the homeless people walking the streets, "can we pull over and talk to them, can you buy them something to eat?
She's threatening to drive her car over my frame if I misbehave and more
So she's a single sister and you've become her pseudo-husband?

Would a cart lie? I don't think so,
this was pointed out by throwingawayjehovah.

"it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.
the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

i wanted to start a thread with correct explanations of what witnesses really mean when they say stuff... please add to it!.
"we missed you at the last meeting" = "where were you?
why did you miss a meeting!?".

"That talk was very spiritually deep." = "I didn't understand a word of it."
"I really enjoyed the COs visit." = "...particularly the part where he drove away on Sunday."
we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".
in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".
so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?
