Most annoying and irritating comments by JWs
by whathehadas insince i'm still suffering in this crackerjacks organization, these are some of statements that just drive me nuts.
1. in service: "we are not here to convert you" funny how jws have the true religion but resort to deception and outright lies in order to get people to listen
2. to other jws: "we won't have to deal with this in the new system" 7 billion evil doers dead and gone, no longer create problems for us

This guy's wife made him go out and buy separate pots and pans so he could cook the cicadas:

Supposedly, they taste like almonds or potatoes . . .
"Many cicadas were harmed in the making of this program."

I saw a show once where people were cooking and eating cicadas, and when you said locusts and described the buzzing, I thought "cicada" instead of grasshopper.
Anyway, people eat them, too. I thought I would pass out watching that . . .

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK and DRIVE!!!!!!!!!
by thepackage inas a young adult, i did many stupid things in my life, including becoming a jw.
however, that decision only hurt myself and not others.
i was ignorant and to a certain extent fooled.

HL - The reason it happens so much is that the first thing to go is your judgment, NOT your coordination, so many people misjudge that they are "okay to drive."
That's why just don't drink and drive is the best rule . . . regardless of what your judgment or lack of it tells you . . .
thepackage - I am so sorry for your loss!

Why were you baptized?
by bluecanary ininspired by another thread.. i was baptized at 12 years old.
i had a cousin, two years older than me, who was prettier, more outgoing and more popular in the hall than i was.
i couldn't beat her at any of that stuff, but i figured i could be a better jw than she was.

Some your stories are truly heartbreaking. One of the best things about truly heartbreaking tales is that they can lead to such great humor -- eventually. LOL at bluecanary and darklighter; I truly did lol, as well.
chickpea and homeschool! So glad you're out!

Can You Hear Me Now? (Man Protests Verizon's Lack Of Security Of Cell Phone Customers)
by Yizuman inhow easy is it to get the private cell phone records and address of verizon's ceo?.
our cell phone records are not safe.. .
even if you have an unlisted number, chances are that all your personal data -- your cell phone number, who you called, where you live, and the number of your private sex therapist -- are all up for sale somewhere on the internet.

Why don't you just take it like a man?
by AK - Jeff inin a recent thread, i was basically called out in this manner.. here is part of the quote:.
mean no disrespect with the following but i have to ask, when you disassociated yourself what did you think would happen?
did you expect witnesses to suddenly change to accommodate you?

Lola,
As a born-in JW, who initially was backed into the disassociation corner, and then backed into the disfellowshipping corner, I am fully aware of the "choices" and "consequences" of life.
Those were some unfair "choices" for a 13-to-15-year-old to make.
Generalizing disassociating from the JWs as a "militant" act may be accurate in some, but not all cases.
I think the problem that people are having with your approach is that you are generalizing and pontificating as if every case and instance were the same, and they are not, and it is a de-humanizing thing to do and say about people who have come to this board for support and/or friendship.
People who are smarting from a burn or blow they already knew was coming don't need to hear,"you made me do it . . . if only you had or hadn't done this or that, I would not have smacked you down." They need to hear,"it won't happen again, at least not here, and not with me." Somehow, I can't hear that in words like:
"until the society changes the way they deal with DF’ed and DA’ed ones we all have to understand the sort of treatment that we will receive if we make the choice to leave." Where is support, empathy, friendship or love in those words?
There is no one here who has not been smacked down by the Watchtower Clowns, even their biggest apologists, so there is no need to tell those of us who have already been smacked down -- AND who've pretty much gotten up and brushed off our knees and decided to share our stories and help someone else or ourselves sort out our feelings -- to get over it or take it like a man. It shows contempt for the pain of others to do so.
