I Just Talked To An Old JW Friend About The Dumbness of The Organization

he came by my work and we talked.

he pretty much became irregular (as a publisher), moved away and recently moved back into the area.

he's now a ms again and he's bemoaning his lot in life and sees a lot of stupidity within the "truth".

DF or DA what do you think the difference is?
by Rosey in
1. jw

i would like to know from everyone first of all what they think the difference is between a df'd person and a da'd person.. i would also like to know what everyone thinks that jw's think is the difference between a df'd and da'd person.. personally i am df'd.

i was df'd 10 years ago almost and did not argue it at all as i had no desire to continue as a jw anyway.

before being df'd i was always under the impression that if a person da'd themselves it almost always meant they were " apostate" and that there was no way a jw should have any contact with them.

have you ever known anyone to just walk in off the street?.

to me, kh's don't seem too obvious.. the one's i have seen are not too obvious.

they all seem to be tucked away in residential neighborhoods and some have very discreet signs.. none i have ever seen advertise their times of worship services.

for all those that read my post from the other day, i have been asked that if i am to miss any meetings i must call one particular elder per his request.

so on sunday i woke up and decided to stay home from the meeting and test my theory that this guy is on a power trip.

i "had a headache" which in all reality was a small hangover from the night before.

why didn't they approach me?

this past saturday morning, i was walking through downtown guelph ontario when i saw 3 ppl standing on corners of an intersection with what i instantly recognized to be watchtowers in their hands.

while i was at an atm, i watched them approach various strangers and i started to get excited, thinking about what i would say to them when approached.

(1 middle aged woman 1 teenage girl and 1 man - interestingly, i first doubted the man was a dub because he had no jacket, blue shirt, orange tie, and had a cell phone attached to his belt - i cant imagine ever being allowed in service with a visible cellphone.).

i am shocked i am even writing this.

for about a year or so, i have hid in the darkness peeking at this site and following everyone else's story.

i have learned more than i expected from so many.
