  2. experiences

  hi to anyone reading this, so i little bit about myself.

  i'm 24 years old born-in, all my family are in, my father is an elder.

  though i'm not fading as such i no longer believe jw.org is gods chosen organisation so you could say i'm mentally out.

  Welcome!

  I just have this empty feeling when I'm in the hall.

  Yeah, I remember that feeling.

  Two questions: 1) A few random verses from Ezekiel and Revelation to predict the future is it? 2) How did I ever believe this crap?

  another 30 minute part on how to sing it?

  After the trolly song on the WT broadcast, the congregation will roll a cart up on the platform to demonstrate how to sing.

  Those are some tight pants!

  This is much better than the corny JW cart song. They should put this in the next JW broadcast with the introduction, "What are the dangers of tight pants? Notice the anguish, the painful looking jumps and spins of this man who is suffering from the tightness of his pants." [insert video here]

  circumcision as a mark of gods people

  by user100 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so the last two watchtower studies talked about circumcision as a mark of god's people.

  i thought it was weird why they would pick that as a mark.

  why dont they chop of their earlobe er something.

  Today it's customary to greet people with a firm handshake, looking directly into the eyes, and perhaps a friendly smile.

  Back in Bible times, they just looked at each other's penises when meeting someone. Yet another reason why the Bible isn't a useful guide for modern living.

  Come to think of it, ToMo3's issues with tight pants shouldn't be an issue. Paul circumcised Timothy so that he could show off his snipped penis to everyone.

  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.

  it'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!
