  I was told I sound like an Apostate

  by senora in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm in the process of ditching my jw friends and one of them tells me that i'm starting to sound like an apostate why??

  because i'm going to yet another congregation and she feels that i should stay in one cogo to get established.

  first of all i'm about to go into a foreign language congo wherein i speak half the language and want to be fluent in that language, but my real reason is....i don't want friends and family finding out about my fade so they won't start calling me and bugging me.

  E-mailed legal theats (re: V's Watchtower Comments videos)

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just did some searching and found one thing about cease-and-desist letters.

  basically, they're not legally binding, but a threat of legal action.

  now, for e-mail, the source of the message can be easily manipulated and falsified.

  Is it allowed to make a "interested" unbaptised person an ATTENDANT?

  by BBOARD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am simply asking a question.

  calling all ex-jw's in the know.

  if a person has been coming to the meeting regularly and is on the tms can they, by the book, be made into a attendant without any declaration to "serve jehovah" aka baptism.

  The Future of the Watchtower Society and the Internet

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that the watchtower society was very ill prepared for the advent of the internet.

  perhaps, some of the governing body thought the end would come before it became a big problem.

  now it is a big problem and is only going to get worse.

  I used to cut the Borg some slack...but 10 years out?...The BASTARDS!!!!

  by Alpaca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out for 10 1/2 years.. in the early days, after my departure, i was just glad to be out and going back to school.

  i felt sorry for those who were still in living a life of delusion and failed/false dreams....and, in fact, i still do feel sorry for the r&f dubbies.

  i used to even cut the borg's leadership some slack, thinking to myself that they were just caught up in their own delusions.. but, the longer i've been on jwd the madder i get at the borg leadership's outright deception, lies, coverups, and self-aggrandizing behavior.

  so why do they do it?

  by atpeace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm in the middle of reading coc.

  quite the eye opener to things i already suspected.

  my question is this - if some on the governing body have doubts, how can they just go along with it?

  Your funny stories of being a JW

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking that maybe to lighten it up a bit and we could talk about our funny stories about being in the jw religion.

  i thought it would be fun to read.. some of my favorities:.

  running a block and a half from dogs when i was about 8.. letting all my note cards when i was giving a talk fall to the floor.. tripping over the stairs as i participated in a demonstration.. laughing out loud in a talk and not being able to stop until i went to the bathroom.. having a fit of coughing that disrupted the entire meeting.

  Elders refuse to Testify

  by The Scotsman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  came across this article - .

  .

  the case goes to court today i think.. you will notice that the org + the local elders are only interested in protecting confidentiality and are refusing to testify.. the rights of the victims are lower on the priority scale.. makes me shudder.
