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

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?

Today's Text - Be Humble & Don't Judge (The Exact OPPOSITE Of What JW's Do!)
by Divergent inanother nauseating text which proves conclusively that jw's do not practise what they preach!.
monday, may 9. who are you to be judging your neighbor?—jas.
4:12.. humility restrains us from overstepping our authority.

Meeting those "privileged" ones you knew before, they will invariably ask what position of so called or just privilege (standing) you hold in your congregation at least that was my experience. -

what sort of reactions have you gotten when talking to other jw when telling them the "truth about the truth"?
by AmIright inits funny ive read some stories on here about how they have become so infuriated by what logic dictates as being true and their own denying of it because it completely screws up their belief and shows how hypocritical it is xd some look like a nuclear reactor about to blow xd.
share you experiences here :) .

I had a "friend" who upon my telling him I would no longer attend our current congregation dissolved into the conditional friends role of writing me off. Others on the death of my wife disappeared thankfully. I had spoken tatty to a couple of others prior to my going totally inactive, one for sure is still in the other unknown, never comes around, he however quit being a msg so I have hopes he quit them, his brother went inactive and joined the USAF reserve so, something caused his disaffection for the Borg. They just can't handle facts which collide with their unsubstantiated beliefs. -

WTBTS vs. Islam
by kairos inthe articles and meeting parts have been missing something all along, as far as i can see.. jws are taught to demonize all 'worldly' ( not jws) organizations, individuals and religions as having no value only to be destroyed by god at 'harm-you-gettin'-( armageddon ).. why do they not mention islam?no scathing denouncements?.
the only publication i really remember, was the "mankind's search for god" book that touched on the beliefs and practices of muslims.. why do you think this is the case?.

Baker, when dubs wouldn't help pay for gas they wouldn't get to ride along anymore, which is why I often drove my van with only me in it. -

Out on Facebook
by disillusioned 2 ini am just venting because my sister has put on facebook that i am no longer "in the truth"!
i have kept a very low profile for years and have silently faded.
many witnesses i have bumped into are very friendly towards me, some from other congregations may not even be aware that i dont go anymore.

I finally understood the final hurdle...
by The Rebel inwell the "pious" elders tuned out to be " super pious" and very good at reciting from the " very super pious" elders manuel, but actually " super pious" elders are quite harmless when ignored.. as for my former friends in the congregation, well throughout the ages there have always been people prepared to stand up for truth and friendship, sadly my " former" friends from the congregation proved not to be people of such noble character, instead only capable of giving short contrived speeches about why they missed me at meetings, snooze, and no great loss, as i have found the community outside the w.t organisation positively buzzing with unconditional friendship.. anyway i feel i have overcome all hurdles in my exit from the " w.t" except one,which is how i deal with my disrespectful father.
even when i was a witness in good standing, he had a pretty disrespectful and rude word power, now it's completely inappropriate.
i have tried pointing this out, even had long periods without contact, but i don't like doing that as it denies my mum seeing her grandson.. however what i have concluded is that this isn't w.t at fault.

Making friends in the "truth"
by Jordandemm inwhat is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?
don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.
i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

Kind and generous friends in Jdub land is a fairy tale. From my experience people were always wanting to be invited to our house for supper or Bbqs but out of 4 years at this congregation we over 20 times had people over or went out to eat with them but we always got stuck picking up the tab. In those 4 years, we were only were invited over to eat 3 times. Other than those times, they had nothing to do with me unless of course they wanted me to make something they liked for a get together they were having. USERS at best but hardly friends.
