what is the wackiest...strangest....most unusual jw teaching or practice?
My 82 year old mother is having bloodless open heart surgery this next Tuesday at St Joseph's in Denver. Her red blood count is already dangerously low.
Try explaining this one to your work mates and friends without looking like the biggest wack nut there is !
this is jim jeffries.
bear in mind that he's performing to an american audience in boston.
his routine does contain south strong language.. https://youtu.be/jl--yvnni0i.
a must see if you haven't seen it.
some scary stuff.
they pay their workers.
There was not a whole lot in the documentary that I have not read on this forum first. A few things I did find interesting ......
Even though the documentary offered few new tidbits for us to glean from, the show seems to have set off a fire storm for many others. I am very much enjoying all the "SHOCKED" twitters.
return to jehovah... no return address .
today i read a small piece of poetic irony.
im not going to advertise from what web forum i read this, but it was so astounding i had to share it somewhere.
Lifeistoshort"....take a convicted pedophile door to door in my car when his poster was distributed in the area.
WOW! just wow
i was just invited.
i thanked my old elder friend and he left.
(i'm not going).
are parts of the usa in a different century from europe?.
why don't they just stone them to death?.
yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.
i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.
the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!
hi guys, this is my first post; i thought i should introduce myself.
i was raised and spent most of my life a jw before i was disassociated, because i refused to stop seeing a non witness girl.
i must say their decision to cut me off from my family and friends although initially traumatic ended up being the biggest blessing in disguise of my life.
here is the segment on the conti abuse case in california and jehovah's witness's response as reported on by the abcnews nightline broadcast which was shown early this morning.
it really displays some absolutely shocking behavior from not only her abuser and his (supportive) wife, but also the jw attorneys and elders via video.
i am just blown away by the audacity displayed by these monsters.. we can now understand why governing body member stephen lett slipped in his comments a couple of weeks ago about "untrue reports of child abuse" in one of his talks which can viewed on the cult's website.
when it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.
I don’t know which one leaves first but I have noticed it is much easier for a women to leave
I do not usually comment when I do not agree with something. But, this thread seems to be going in a direction that is hard to swallow.
For a decade I was planning my escape from the cult. This was not some emotional feeling I had during my period! I was middle aged, uneducated,penniless from years and years in full time service, no work experience and two young girls to protect. I knew I would lose every person I ever was friends with along with my home and marriage. Most days in those 10 years the only option for getting out seemed to be either live on the streets or suicide. It was a calculated escape that was anything but easy.
