I was deleted from being a MS when my son, not living with us at the time, got his future wife pregnant. Made mistake of mentioning it to an elder in our BS. That was it for me. When several tried to make amends told them no way would I ever be one again when they tried to reinstate me. They couldnt understand why, well duh.

Another "good" elder might be getting the axe....
by humblepotato inso our congregation is full of hardliner elders, 3 of them, who are not gentle, kind or loving.. people have either moved away or quit trying because one elder inparticular was going to drive them crazy with all his rules and nit picking and being righteous over much.
(and he is pissed that he hasn't been accepted to the school.
hmmm, i wonder why!).

Study of biblical history and reading the biblical myth book really got me on the road to get the hell out. False friends cemented the leaving.

Disfellowhsipped for 7 years...
by HereIgo ini remember around 2009, there was a scandal going on involving 2 families in my cong where the husband in one family was having an affair with the wife of the other family.
this resulted in pregnancy and subsequent disfellowshipping.
what was interesting to me though was a comment made by a co from the platform.

Tell me if I'm right or wrong
by Chook injws say they can go anywhere in the world and they " know" that they would be shown hospitality from their fellow brothers.
of all my years as a jw i found this wasn't the case.
i honestly believe that if i turned up at any of my fellow apostates on here house and said hi i'm chook can we have a coffee, the response would be how many sugars..

Attended one in Ontario, CA we were completely ignored even after introducing ourselves it was like oh hi and that was it. All the warmth of a meat freezer.

There is science that prove God exists
by HopeEverLasting injehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

Brother & Sister-in-Law Return to Kingdom Hall After Two Decades, Quickly Get Stumbled
by TMS init was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.
the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.
the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.

When I was a book study went to help out at the hall as they spiffing it up new carpets, stage and seating had to be put back. I helped put the seats back in, when the broke to eat I was still in the hall installing seats and wasn't told to come and eat with them, so I left realizing while it was okay to help with the seat install I wasn't good enough to eat with them. In fact told them what a bunch of hypocrites they were, should have woken me up then but unfortunately if didn't. Woke up over their constant harping on the evil of the internet so of course started into the net and discovered H2O went down hill from there.

NYC cart people
by lrkr ini recently started working on a project in manhattan- in a very nice neighborhood.
just want to share a few observations on the cart witnesses in this area.. this is an area flush with dinero.
so every respectable non profit is out there hustling for donations.

"Just don't overthink the truth"
by stuckinarut2 inso after almost a year of complete inactivity and non attendance, i ran into a nice brother from the local congregation.. after some nice chit-chat, he says "we really miss you and your family...etc...you were always the kind and supportive one, the approachable and encouraging one in the congregation.
your absence has confused so many".
i thanked him and said "oh no, no individual has stumbled us.

The advice I was given was just dance our dance, I just laughed at them. Idiocy is a hallmark of dubs, not all mind you, but imo, most of them.

Are the anointed really "lovely people"?
by purrpurr ini've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.
and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.
i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?

well looks like that Barney Fife type finally found the sandwich and decided he didn't like the JW picnic.
