"inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.".
is this seriously one of the forum's rules to follow?
how can that be so when this whole forum is based on inciting hatred towards one religion.....jehovah's witnesses.......wow this is funny!
apostate troll!!
welcome ;)
i have the samsung instinct.
it looks like an iphone.
i keep it away from others' eyes by holding it inside the book we are studying.
I used to plan my work schedule for the coming week during the watchtower and public talk, only thing that got me through it!
yes, i am enjoying realizing the truth about the truth.. but there is another side to it.
the world as we know it didn't seem to me to be the way that god intended it to be.
i know i was brainwashed, but it felt good believing that all the bad things would be changed.
no point fearing death, you wont know about it because you are... dead!
was it horrible before you were born? of course not, you didn't exist. it will be the same when you die, nothing to be scared of!
oh, yes those wonderful meetings for service.
for some reason, they are so long and disorganized and boring.
seems no one wants to get out there in the territory.. i remember in one hall when i was a teenager, a ministerial servant, about 50 years old, would conduct the midweek meeting for service at the kh at 9 am.
I think the "car group" concept is US only? Not something I've ever seen in the UK.
i have read today this quote from one member on facebook going by the name of ruth eeker.. .
based on her quote, she states that "as well in regards to the un, the society has various name versions registered still in the un.
so they are still not completely out of the supposed beast!".
why would they care if anyone knows? the rank and file sure don't care - I told countless people and elders about the NGO affiliation, they thought it was all fine!?
They could probably start murdering people, find some scripture to back it up, and the R&F would be 100% happy with it.
the jw's must not trust their members or at least don't have too much faith in them when it comes to being alone around member of the opposite sex.
i can remember one time in particular from when i was a teenager that still makes me laugh today.. when i was younger i used to go out in service on a regular basis during the week when i had summer break.
one time when i met for service there were only two other people that showed up.
I was told several times by an elder me and my g/f shouldn't be in the car on our own.
It was a 2 seater.
I just ignored all his stupid advice, including that.
picked these up off the net.
didn't see them here so i thought i would post.. i really like the back cover to the new book, showing pictures of a car from the 30's with "jehovah's witnesses" on the side.
the pic of the guy in prison is beyond lame.. .

i noticed on another thread a poster stating that he felt that unhappy jw's were in the minority.. .
probably not, but most fool themselves or pretend they are happy - so it's hard to tell.
right now at bethel, they are laying off and reassigning again.
if you have cancer or some other illness, you are a liability and it's time to pack.
i remember the night when we had the special talk about there being a great need in the field and some would be sent out.
Some disgusting attitudes on this thread. How someone can come to the conclusion that it's fine to be insensitive and stereotypical and to flame people they don't know just because they managed to work out the WT was BS before them, never bought it, or 'are used to being screwed over by witnesses' is beyond me.
Gary you sound like you have a huge chip on your shoulder, and a nasty, aggressive attitude. Whether you have or not I have no idea - but you come across this way. Sounds like you have had some problems - that's tragic, but taking it out on others whose are not at fault for these problems is also tragic.
Most people here were brainwashed at some point, we all woke up at different times. NOONE here has the right to judge to another human, especially ones we don't know - doing that makes us as bad as people like the GB. I understand bitterness and even anger directed at the WT organisation at a whole. Individuals that think they are/were doing the right thing though, and have not 'seen the light' yet are hardly deserving of that.
To the ex-bethel people on here, not everyone is an arsehole so please don't judge all 'apostates' to be like this.
