BEWARE - More force adding on FB

by JRK in

jw
friends

they are doing it again.. a new group trying to boost membership is adding people without permission.. "ex-jehovah's witnesses aka behind the veil of jw.org" added me this afternoon.

they were bragging about how quickly they grew to over 2000 members.

i quickly exited the group.

Tim Nasson's response: "My group is the best on Facebook and is CLOSED. Moreover, it's an extension of my personal page, since I don't post JW stuff on there. YOUR loss. Completely, especially since I give away free DVDs every week and will be giving away copies of my NY TIMES best seller. Take care."

Newer response as I am writing this: "I literally care less than zero what you think. Again, your loss. Your friend someone you don't even know but hey pissed off about being added to a closed group, the best on Facebook. What a loser. LOL"

I would say he can go procreate with himself, but I would be accused of being anti-gay.

And I could care less about his cheesy writings and DVD's. Even if I could get a free copy, LOL!

I unfriended Tim.

Here is the message I sent him before I did it: Tim, you really pissed me off today when you added me to your group without asking permission. Therefore, I am unfriending you.

Zoos,

No problem for me, but thank you for your sentiments.

It is primarily a problem for faders. They can be outed as an apostate by browsers of FaceBook. Even just being a member of an apostate group is enough for an elder with a burr up his ass.

Like I said, there was a real huge problem with another group(AAWA)adding people that didn't know about it. Do a search of the archives if you are interested.

This is so uncool. I hope faders are not affected. This reminds me of the wAAWAh fiasco. Even though it is a closed group instead of open, it could still cause someone a problem. I have a friend that was disfellowshipped and lost his inheritance with the last debacle.

Check your groups on FB next time you are on.

Take care

Christadelphian

by Billy1000 in

my name is stephen and i am new to the forum.

i am a christadelphian and through my discussions with fellow members of my ecclesia it has inspired me to reach out to other religions to find out exactly what others believe to enhance my own faith and further bring me closer to our heavenly father.

in no way do i mean disrespect if it has been caused.

JRK

Hello Billy,

I believe that you are the first Christadelphian that I have ever corresponded with. It is nice to know someone from a different fork splintering from the Millerites. For us the "Great Disappointment" keeps going on in perpetuity.

I am glad that I found an exit. I am now an atheist, and am much happier now that I do not believe the apocalyptic fear mongering anymore.

Good luck in your journey.

What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

by paul from cleveland in

jw
friends

i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

Had a wonderful visit with Mr and Mrs Flipper Sat.

by 3rdgen in

i haven't posted much lately because i got a new job at the end of nov. and it's taken much of my time and mental energy.

i still read though and care for you all very much so i thought i should let you know about the meet-up i had yesterday with mr and mrs flipper.. hubby got a call the day before from flipper saying he and his wife were going to visit his mother (who is in a rest home in my town) and would we like to meet up for coffee?

hubby couldn't make it but i was delighted to accept.. we picked a burger place not far from the rest home and where i knew jdubs don't usually hang out on saturdays.

JRK

3rdgen,

I am glad you had a good time with the Flips. Looking forward to seeing you and your hubby again in Tahoe this year!

A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block

by Gilbeath Haaraloth in

a very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.

although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.

he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.
