The only problem with using the IPads heavily in the meetings, is having a possible malfunction. Deep shit for the poor brother/sister on stage with a frozen IPad and no backup source of material. LOL

jw.org getting out of hand
by Gorbatchov init seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.
by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.
jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

If it is true that he is gay and has been DFd, then can your baptism really be legitimate? How would Jehovah see it?
Wish that was the case. Would nullify my dip into disasterš

For those who feel that their life has been stolen
by stillin inyou maintained a level of personal decency and integrity that you almost certainly would not have had if you had chosen another direction.. sure, you would have had some very "colorful" friends and experiences if you had gone another way, but you still chose the more "edgy" people in the congregation as your friends and you still enjoyed yourself, even if there were a lot of phony constraints.. you looked for ways to be of value to others.
don't stop doing that!.
you kept the darker side of your personality in check.

I feel for you Magnum. I was so angry after reading your post, I laughed in pain. I'm still young but I feel the same way. Born in and having some good years taken away from me by that cult. My years in may be small in comparison to yours but it stings the same. I TRY to not think about that cult day to day, but it's hard when you're constantly reminded of it. When you come across people in convos about their life and think of yours. The experiences they had growing up with their friends from school. Just thinking of my experience in high school is just a empty blur. I had chances to connect with so many people but passed it up because of the WT rules. I was SO scared of the "world". I kick myself(figuratively) everyday because of this. The journey to rebuilding your life after the WT is so tough.

@DATA-DOG I agree with most of what you stated. Defenseless people are targeted the most. There should be more self awareness to potential threats. There has been a few cases of people going RIGHT in a Police Station and opening fire. Recently in California too. http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/lapd-officer-wounded-gunman-opens-fire-police-station-cops-article-1.1749159

Uggh.....IF it is true and does happen......it will go over MOST JW's head. Most can't even show you how to come up with the date by using the WT's interpretation of the scripture. They just shake their head to it and repeat. When the WT comes up with the "New Light" of not using that date, most of the JWs will just accept it as a progressive change. Such a shame.

Embarrassed by Aggressive Apostates
by ShempLives inxjw protests & videos.
.. i am disturbed by some of the more aggressive apostates posting videos on youtube,like "a jw memorial to remember" where a drunk man goes to a memorial and downs the whole glass of wine as a sort of protest.
this video and others like it received positive comments from aawa members.

I find some of the behavior puzzling, it makes me uncomfortable. But I am not responsible for what other ex JWs do, we are not one group, just individuals trying to recover as best we can from our time in a destructive cult. Current JWs buy the Watchtower lie that we are angry and bitter, so they can hardly think any less of us.
That sums it up right there. We may have similarities with our experiences in the Org but the reason we left is too have FREEDOM from that oppression. You escape one label to be put under another. What would be the solution to this? Have a Governing Body of Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses? It may be embarrassing to see what some ex-JWs do but at the end of the day they're their own individual. THAT'S something the Watchtower never let us be.
Which pic is more scarier?
Both pics are how "apostates'' are percieved by JWs

Holy_Cheeses is right. There is no grade of apostates to the Jdubbs. How can one "apostate" give ALL apostates a bad name when ALL apostates are viewed as evil by the Jdubbs? When I was in the Borg, I always thought of Apostates being the sly talking people who slipped in hateful speech about the Borg like "Satan's tactics" of tricking people into lies. I didn't think there must be "good apostates". Let's be honest with ourselves about this Borg. The people that are in and want to leave, leave because they are SICK of what's in that Borg.
