Worldly Kids at a Bus Stop - I see why JWs home school!
by skeeter1 inthis morning as i was driving back home from putting rug rat #2 in pre-school, i saw one middle-school boy throw another kid into some thorny bushes at our local bus stop.
the kid sailed through the air and landed face down.
i stopped to see what had gone down.

Are you sure leaving the JW religion has made your life better?. Lurkers think twice
by mankkeli inon this forum, i have carefully read most of the experiences of those who left the jw religion, i have even read experiences that have dated back to 2001, i have read the different circumstances surrounding their exits and what ensued upon leaving.
for the majority, i observed they are better remainning in the religion than leaving.
what benefit is there to strain family relationship because you want to be free?, please tell me, of what value is that freedom?,.

Please ask yourself this question, If I leave this organization how would my exit improve my relationship with those I love most
It created a bond that can never be broken with my girls. My two daughters practically worship the ground I walk on because I rescued them at 13 and 14 from a cult that would have denied them the university education that they are so much enjoying tiday.
I reunited with my brother Derek that I absolutely adored my whole life. I had cut him off for years due to him being disfellowshipped. When I left the cult, Derek and I spent almost every possible minute together eating, drinking, laughing, playing, vacationing etc for 11 months until his untimely fatal motorcycle accident.
And you think you have the audacity to even hint that those 11 months were somehow in vain. F...You! Go crawl back in your hole where you belong!!

Disfellowshipping Rescinded!
by 00DAD inhas anyone been successful in getting their disfellowshipping rescinded?
i specifically do not mean getting reinstated.
i want to know if anyone that was disfellowshipped was able to officially and through the congregation and/or the organization have their status as a "disfellowshipped person" changed without getting "reinstated" through the normal procedures?.

My cousin (Restrangled on this forum) was disfellowshipped in the 70's in Chicago. The decision was appealed and lost. The DF'ing was announced, however her parents pulled in some real heavy weights from Bethel. The DF'ing was reversed.

Did you ever think.....'Why Don't We Kill Off the Anointed'?
by Diest ini know it is an odd thought but when i was 7 or so and suffering through a meeting, i thought.....'why dont they get them in one room, and get rid of them so that we can live in the new order.
' afterall they are going straight to heaven to rule with jesus....not like death is a bad thing in that case.. it makes me laugh now at the simplistic mind set.
but on some levels it was a genius idea...well it was before i realized that it was a sham..

Diest - I think that would make a good Question to the Readers...
Dear Brothers,
Who do you feel has the bigger mental dilemma, the mentally ill anointed, or the mentally diseased apostates?
Waiting with a humble mind and disposition for your holy spirit backed response.
Hugs and Kisses,
D.

I bet the GB 2 would like to kill off a few thousand of them - it would help them save face with the ever increasing annointed numbers.

Football (sports)
by EmptyInside inone of my other posts mentioned briefly how the c.o.b.e.
of my "former" hall is trying to make it a rule of no football,especially for elders and servants.. of course,as a woman i would never qualify to be a servant,nor do i want to be.
but,i still enjoy watching a bit of the nfl.

I love football so very,very much!! Especially college football.
Getting on a plane on Thursday to go see the OSU Cowboys play Baylor Saturday.
Did you see Timmy Tebow on Sunday? The city of Denver loves that boy!!!!
Saturdays are pure fun thanks to football season - so it makes since that it would be considered wrong by the holy brothers. I am sure it has something to do with fornicating or masturbating or animal sex. The new light will shine on us soon and we will all understand why it is wicked to watch football

Popularity Contest
by Voices ineverywhere i've gone, no matter what, there's always a 'popularity contest' (which i'm a loser to)... whether it was in the organization (based on how high you went up the chain of command or who you married for the sisters), the school system such as high school, college, etc.. or job.
who does the hardest work, who does what, when how.
even on this website.

How long did Conventions used to be?
by donuthole ini remember as a child in the 1980's attending four day conventions.
i know in the past conventions were even longer.
does anyone know how long they use to last and the approximate years?

I luckily escaped the 8 day assemblies, but clearly remember the ones that were five days. We attended the conventions in ST. Paul.
In 1973 we had a big one in Winnipeg and then in 77 a huge one in Milwaukee.
I always had to play my damn flute at every convention - was so happy when we went to canned music
At the '77 convention they loudly condemned the movie 'Saturday Night Fever' - everyone in my row had already seen it.

How Have you Counted your time for Pioneering?
by jehu or jehonadab injust woundering how have you counted your time in field service especially if you were pioneering?.
would like to see if any of you were on the same page as i was.
with so much to do, like reading all the watchtower and awake each month and the bible reading each week.

10 years pioneering at 90 hours/month - the last couple of years I counted time through my coffee break - but always begged Jehovah's forgiveness. I always felt guilty counting break time.
