  I'll tell you straight sd I won't lie to you Your fu..ed. You've been neutered by the Org. It doesn't matter what you do for her it won't be appreciated. Your at the bottom of the JW pecking order the lowest of the low. She can't have a good opinion of you that is at odds with that of her JW friends and what the Org says you must be for leaving them cognitive dissonance I've been there very stressfull near tore me apart

  And I believe they don't count all the partakers if the Elders have doubts that they are genuine So the real number may be even higher

  Aposta-men, Do You Know How to Sew?

  the men in the coven i was in knew how to use a sewing machine quite well.

  it was required for first degree work that everyone make a ritual garment.

  some covens in the assembly had to make their own tabards, too.

  as in..."hi, my name is soa fraid and i hope you will accept my offer for a free home bible study.

  the reason you should accept this free offer is that our leaders, the men who have compiled the material for this study receive direct communication from god, and he speaks to no other religion on earth.

  they then write down what god has told them to, and publish it in a zillion languages so that we can teach people what god really meant in his new world translation of the holy scriptures...you may refer to it as the bible.

  I always said Good Morning my name is Bob I am a Jehovah's Witness. They would say not interested or something like that and I would move on. The only problem I had was when the householder said OK so and did not give me short shift.... then I had to actually think of something to talk about.....bummer

  I was a true believer since childhood then I got the boot for supporting my unbaptized 14 year old daughter in a decision she made that the Elders did not agree with. I continued to attend meetings for 8 months "feeling the love" ( no-one talks to you; they treat you like dirt)all the while this scripture was going round and round in my head. Where Jesus said "Love your enemies pray for them" and I kept thinking "Am I now the enemy" if so, then I should be treated better than this. So I started doing some research on the net. I did not like what I was learning about the WT and the apostate sources I accessed: They were not at all like the WT said they would be ( bitter angry liars with an Axe to grind ) They were giving me facts, facts I could not deny. Like I said I did not like it It meant My whole life everything that I had based my life on was now being swept away. Every witness should experience being dis fellowshipped then they might think twice about imposing this disgusting policy on others.

  Does anyone remember when the Watchtower website first opened, it wasn't mentioned in the magazines or at the meetings for a while?

  by slimboyfat in

  i seem to remember that from the mid-ninties onwards there were articles in the km and watchtower warning about the dangers of the internet.

  as a result it seemed to come as a bit of a surprise to some witnesses i knew when the society opened up their own website.

  but as i recall, when the society first opened the website, they never mentioned it in the literature or at the meetings.

  I remember a cheeky ex in Sweden I think that was giving the WT a few headaches at the time He started a sight that was a mirror of the WT one
