I have social media accounts, but post almost nothing. It's a convenient way to invade other people's privacy and give up none of my own.

Goodbye and thank you.
by wallievase init's come time for me to leave.
i honestly feel at this point continuing to visit this site and others like it is starting to hinder me from moving on by keeping all the feelings of pain, resentment, regret, etc fresh.. i haven't posted a lot since i have been on here but to those of you that replied when i did, i appreciate it very much.
you helped me through a very rough time that is affecting me to this day.

Wishing you the best on becoming an ex-exJW.
Don't think of yourself as disfellowshipped or disassociated from this community. If you want to come back and find out what's going on in the wacky JW world, you'll get more interesting info here than anything you'd find on JW.bORG. Or if you want to come back and testify that your life after WT is going wonderfully, we love to hear those stories!

I cracked up when I read about the inspiration to "crack down" on indecency was because of naked cyclists. Of course naked cyclists would need to be crack down, that's how bicycle seats work! -

Hmmm, the link isn't working right now. It looks like they pulled the song from their website. They must be rewriting it to accommodate my revised lyrics.
I think the revised title should be something like, "Teach Them Cart Witnessing" or "Teach Them Not to Visit Jehovahs-Witness.com"

...they talk about how they "turned down" scholarships in order to pioneer.
If your name gets out there, colleges (particularly 'for profit' ones) will offer "scholarships" for a few thousand dollars discounted from tuition. I got an academic scholarship that reduced my tuition at a state university, but I had to apply to the school first.
Otherwise, these kids are probably talking about how they turned down scholarship applications.

Millie, baptism song would explain the "we" and "them" in the wording. And the dirge-like song would seem appropriate for the crowd to be singing as the baptismal victims have said their "yes"s and head off with their towels and modest bathing suits to change.
But for a baptismal song, shouldn't the lyrics be more like:
"Now we watch them dunked in the pool,
Gotta get this done before they start public school!
For 'Christian' parents, we have this tip:
These kids act up? We disfellowship!" -

What was the longest Elder Meeting you have ever experienced?
by Yondaime ina couple years back my hall had around 12 elders, and the body was literally divided into little factions of elders(gotta love jehovah's holy spirit !).
the branch sent 2 more elders to help resolve the issues between them, and that didn't help at all.. so when the circuit overseer visited, a meeting was held after the sunday meeting.
i waited in the hall by myself since the rest of my family was out of town for a certain family event.

I've been in some long ones. I think the longest was 8 hours.
Such a waste of time. I wish I could have those hours... and years back.
