What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?
by Londo111 inthe culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.
whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?
im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

Was called back room once because had told a brother that 2Tim. 3:16 was referring to a bible guess he got incensed told the head Luke that I didn't believe in the Bible. When told why they wanted to talk with me I told the head pike and two other elder idiots that Paul didn't use the Bbke because the bible didn't get put together for hundreds of years after that then told them "how stupid can you get?" They were speechless and I just walked out of there told the wife what they wanted and to my surprise, she agreed they are stupid. -

International Conventions = $$$$. WTBT$ in bed with South Korean government
by Mattieu ini remember the whole process of selecting a host city for australias last international convention.
the australian bethel played the nsw government against the victorian.
it was so similar to choosing an olympic city and the big boys from bethel knew how to play the game.

The congregations inflate their numbers, years ago at the reject Jesus memorial, I was responsible for the the attendance. Including those via phone. Well turned upun the numbers to the elder going to make the final prayer and he mentioned the attendance higher than what we had by almost a 10% increase in the attendance, liars and manipulators. -

San Diego Zoo one if if not the best in the world, Sea World, La Jolla for reasons already given. The Landing in Coronado, and in town a bevy of restaurants and places to visit and see. The drive out, which route are you taking? You could plan a trip to the Grand Canyon, however you go be safe and enjoy yourselves. -

You can't take crap from the elders, they only have power you give them, ask them just where in the scriptures it gives them the right to talk with disfellowshipped ones? -

Do you find it hard to be around active JW's now?
by EdenOne ini do - actually, it's become close to unbearable.. and herein lies the paradox: i tried to fade in the illusion that i might keep contact with family and friends still "in".
was it worth it?
because not only most of them shun me anyways, but i find it almost unbearable to be around them, especially when the cult chit chat kicks in: every cute animal video clip triggers endless comments about glimpses of the future paradise and how "god did it"; those greasy praises to the organization and the governing body; the dumb awe about every jw broadcast and those cheesy music videos; the endless drivel against other religions when one knows perfectly well that we're no better than them; the endless flow of "experiences" of field service or spectacular conversions into "the truth"; the relentless congregation gossip; and so on .... i ask myself: is this why i am fading for ...?

In away, it was refreshing to find out that those supposed good friends disappeared when you held a different view point. It took my wife's death to really open my eyes to the fact that these so called friends were really conditional, finding that out as I had suspected prior too was the real eye opener. Glad I am gone from them, they deserve nothing, neither consideration as human, or those I would help in an emergency. I wouldn't help any of them, I have helped many families in foreign lands but never would I extend any relief or help to witness families. To me they can rely on the governors bodice for help as far as I am concerned. In fact, found an individual, 80+ miles from a convention center so when I stopped to render assistance and Learned that they were jdubs, I just told them to suck it up and left them. -

I only need to know that they are ?Islamist, knowing that is enough for me and wanting them dead. They are the Vermin of the world, with early Mosacian beliefs in who should and shouldn't be killed. -

Many times ?I voted no on resolutions then the elder would say it passed unamimously which was a lie, I would talk to them about it and of course they would try and turn it on me. Then I would get the song and dance and dance about the elders all agree etc., and that I was being a thorn in the congregations side. No I would say you lied not all agreed and saying so is a lie, then I would hear we didn't see your hand up, and I would tell them that is nonsense as I was setting 2nd row middle and many people saw my hand up. You just lied again and I will no longer talk with you, after awhile I only had one or two elders I would talk to.
