STAY AWAY FROM MY KINDGOM HALL," LORD'S EVENING MEAL" INVITATIONS REVOKED!!!!!

by AuntConnie in

i am very angry, pent-up rage call it!

so you will understand why and with great ease this subject is able to flow off my tongue onto the keyboard, because this time of the year is worse than your christmas time jitters!

anxiety, stress, compulsive babbling nuts are invading our service groups!

She seems to be saying out loud what many JW's really think of this glorious occasion... In my opinion.

"from my experience, pedophilia is actually an illness.

My wife buys "50 shades of grey??? How shes changed since being inactive!!

by Witness 007 in

so this morning we flirt and i tell her what a "dirty girl" she is for buying those books...but i was thinking this from a girl who broke a frying pan on my car years ago because i didnt want to go to the meetings.

slowly i wore down that rock that she is with little facts and qoutes...i would not have stayed with her if she remained the fanatic witness she was....also she now swears like a sailor...i like that..

Plus she knows what we went through.

Anyways...she started to giggle and informed me the group tried to discourage her from walking up to our door saying we won't open the door, so don't bother.

I love it!!! They finally got the hint.

Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

by dissonance_resolved in

so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

My advice....if you are going to do a slow fade with small children make sure you encourage friendships outside of the witnesses for them. Get them involved in community sports with children that will be in their schools..have small parties after the season ends so you children will find friendships with these kids, keep in mind always that as soon as you stop being JW's you will lose every friendship you thought you had.

Part 1 of the 2013 Conti and Simons interview now on YouTube (questions posed by JWN members)

by cedars in

a while back we ran a "competition" whereby people could pose questions of candace conti and rick simons for them to answer in a video.. there were so many questions that we needed to do a series rather than just one video.

this first instalment is now on youtube.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhvfefpig4a.

here are the questions that were answered.... (to rick, asked by "exwhyzee") is there a possibility that part of the ruling, if you overcome the appeal, will be that the society must make an announcement outlining the details of the case to its members, as well as an apology to candace?.

truthseekeriam

Thank you.

I have much respect for all of you who are working so hard to protect children within this religion.

Re: Will you attend the Memorial this year? Why? Why not?

you all had some interesting thoughts on that jw memorial thread.

some of you mentioned that you are going so that you can set some sort of example.

i gather that some of you believe that by going and eating, you are somehow showing them they can (or should) do it too.. that really confuses me.

truthseekeriam

Nope, we'll be living it up in sin city that day.

Near miss ! JW's in my neighborhood.

by LoisLane looking for Superman in

from my living room window, while i am sitting at my computer, on jw.net, a little four door car, pulled up and parked on my road.

two couples got out.

the two men, walked east to my place, but only went to the big house in front.

I remember in the first year of our escape we would get so freaked out when the doorbell would ring! Not anymore...when they come by the TV is turned up, dogs are barking and we just look out the peephole and continue with whatever we were up to. It's nice to be finally free from power they had over us.
