OMG! Are you serious? They would get rid of the song book because someone questioned the BORG? Insane. So childish. It's not like he was a "Tool of the Devil" when he worked on the music.

As a JW Did other Witnesses Annoy you by Condemning " Worldly Music" ?
by flipper ini know i got bothered by all the self righteous music police who would condemn me or others for our awesome record collections from early years as a teenager .
several experiences were really quite odd .
one brother came up to me saying i was wrong to listen to the moody blues " nights in white satin "!

My favorite complaint was about Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman", because he says he wants to take her home. One sister squaked so much about that song being offensive to her, that no one could play it...ever.
Here's a question or two:
1. Did he say he wanted to do something sexual at home, or was he taking her HOME to meet his parents?
2. Didn't Joseph take Mary home? That was perfectly acceptable.
I cannot get into the minds of obsessive Borgites anymore, and never really could.

Wow, we put one foot in the grave from birth on, huh? And we used to make fun of worldly people that said they were going to be happy in heaven when they died.

Do you think your friend is okay with it all, wha happened? I have not been formally exiled anymore than just public reproof, but I was wondering if there is a mourning period for being Df'd, or if it feels more like having wings. Best of luck to your friend, and thank you to whoever cleared up what BOE is.

Further proof of the cultishness of the JW religion
by undercover inno, nothing earth shaking.... just that there are two threads currently running...one asking the guys of jwn to post pics to make a 'hottie' calender for the girls and another asking the girls to post some pics.... how is this proof of how the society/jws is a cult, you ask?.
this statement was posted on one of the threads:.
can't see a lot posting in friends....too much of a risk.... it got me to thinking...even though many of us consider ourselves ex-jws, no longer believing, no longer active, no longer stepping foot in hall, no longer associating with jws other than family, it still is a risk to post your name or a photo.. the simple enjoyment of sharing real information such as a real name or a photo is dangerous to many here who, though they left of their own accord but not officially, could still be found out posting on an "apostate" board and hunted down like criminals and treated to harsh measures.

It's true. We try to break free, but we are still hostage to the inner demon of the JW Borg.

Funny. My therapist labeled me as having Avoidant Personality Disorder. To which I say "Nope. Just a recovering JW. We all have it."

Exposing their duplicity
by Mickey mouse ini thought i would have a go at writing to a journalist about the jehovah's witness shunning policy.
i sent this to stephen bates, the religious affairs correspondent for the guardian (he wrote the story about the wt and the un back in 2001).. i have no idea if it will result in anything but here it is:.
dear mr bates,.
