My Personal Study
by The Real Edward Gentry inmy current personal study is about the resurection.besides the nine well known resurections (the son of the zaraphath widow, the son of the shulamite woman, the man whose body touched elisha's bones, lazarus, jesus, son of the widow nain, the daughter of jairus, dorcas and eutychus).
there was enoch who god 'transfered' so he wouldn't see death and elijah who god took away in a flaming chariot hidden in a whilwind!
as well as these there were the holy men ofjerusalem resurrected at the same time as jesus.

TREG, there wont be any resurrection, try and accept that, it cant work, it goes beyond all the realms of science,reality and basic common sense, a pipe dream, the brainchild of a madman, "the evidence suggests" you care to offer some? LOL

Fasten Your Seatbelts - The Crazy Has Started (Also, bring the Koolaid)
by berrygerry infrom facebook:just saw my jw mother after not seeing her for more than 2 years.
when i do see her, it is brief, she never asks about my life, doesn't ask about my 4 children her grandchildren, doesn't ask about my grandchildren...her great grandchildren, she doesn't ask about my other 2 brothers that she is also alienated from, she doesn't ask about my brothers family.
she doesn't talk about the jw/org either.

sad in a way to have a poor old lady in advanced years running around like this in a deranged state when she should be taking it easy and enjoying her retirement, its clear she is in the early stages of some sort of dementia, it just goes to show the damage that years of indoctrination does to a healthy mind,the talk of her other son travelling to the UK and holing up there until the end comes is seriously disturbed shit, she must have heard somewhere of this vast underground complex that was being built there where they will all hole up until the Big A has finished, the only problem is there is no vast underground complex,think we would have heard by now if the WTS were going to start with these kind of profound plans.

she's made the right choice, she's clearly slightly confused but as the months/years pass by I'm sure she will be enjoying and living her life free from the nonsense that she's had to deal with for most of her life. -

Did Being a JW Make You a Better Person?
by Boredposter ini heard many times when i was a witness how much "learning the truth" helped people.
many have been said to have become much better people.
addictions were given up.

membership of cults of any sort bring out the very worst in people, many of the most awful people I ever knew were jw's.

Checking Up On Disfellowshipped Ones
by Boredposter inif my memory serves me right in the 80's there was an effort to call on those who were disfellowshipped.
elders would seek them out (or we're supposed to) to see if there was anything they could do to help them come back.
it seemed like a good idea at the time to me.

I dont think it ever got off the ground did it? I was never called on, but I was never officially informed that I was DA'ed

Faded for almost 10 years and still getting random calls
by ctrwtf inhi all, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.
wifey and i dropped off the face of the jw planet almost a decade ago and still get 3 or 4 visits a year mostly when we are not dressed or expecting visitors.
it's really annoying because we are both wondering why they don't get the hint already.. we don't want to move because we really enjoy where we live and both have careers that keep us in the area.. i've asked politely that they stop calling but like the "godfather" they keep "pulling me in.".

I would inform them in no uncertain terms to cease making any contact in any form whatsoever or you will inform the authorities
