Said by my dub brother following a natural disaster :
"these mass causality things often seem to happen in countries where there aren't many JWs, makes you wonder if Jehovah's getting a head start on Armageddon".
Me:
i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
I learned it wasn't "the truth".
w5 on now in canada.
taking about the arc.
and other things.
i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.
perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.
watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .
It could be tithing or moving into compounds.
i just now went to get meat from my fridge to cook, took the meat out & shut the door as i shut the door i thought i saw a piece of rope in the six pack i had just opened & had removed 2 cans, already drunk 1.. open the door again & there i saw what i thought was a piece of rope, but i look a bit closer ...... shit it's a friggin snake, bugger i had only just taken two cans out wtf.. .
this is the circuit assembly hall i attended since childhood.
if you're a jw and you grew up in liverpool, lancashire or manchester then this is the hall you attended.
when i was little i remember the decor inside being red and cream coloured.
Ha ha I had totally forgotten about Hellas chocolate
did anyone else catch episode 10 of season 2 of designated survivor on netflix?
there was a group portrayed that were clearly meant to be jws; the mother was objecting to a blood transfusion for her baby.. the funny part was the debate amongst the white house staff as to whether they could be classified as a cult.
i found it interesting that they didn't go as far as to name the group as jws..

greetings, dreamers:.
i guess it's never going away: daytime carryovers of jw-related stuff seeping into my dreams.. the majority of these dreams take place at conventions but with really weird trappings.
last night i dreamed i arrived at the site with no books, no lunch, nothing but my car keys.
I have concentration camp dreams related to the terror I had of being arrested and facing the "loyalty test". I have vivid memories of sitting on the floor as a young child at meetings hearing scenarios being discussed.
I hadn't had one for a while but then bang - new years day I woke up and that was the first thing I remembered.
I know of an ex JW on the West Coast of Scotland who's on this board. Lives in the Oban area.
i think it is inevitable.
i don't worry about it but it just seems that the human race is going down a road that they can't make a turn off.. they are probing/discovering how the human mind works and produces intelligence down to the individual molecule.
now with the invention of the super quantum computer soon we will be able to build even better artificial intelligence greater than our own, so it will be easily able to out smart us because will we be a bunch of dumb apes first discovering how to make fire in it's eyes.. it will have it's own different agendas than us humans.
