  Did You Ever Fink On Another Witness?

  did you ever tell the elders that you knew of "wrongdoing" or that you knew a certain person wasn't adhering to the rules?.

  I had gone to an elder with doubts that I had. Of course they were never answered but a certain sister who was overly familiar with said elder started to befriend me, telling me she was uncertain if this was the truth, asking for my viewpoints etc. I knew what she was up to. In order to be 100% certain that she was the congregation spy I told her a huge whopper. I told her that I had a confession to make, I said I was madly in love with said elder and really laid it on thick.

  A few days later said elder called me and started talking about how in the new system he would have a full head of hair, asking my age how he was a good 20 years older and to let me down gently how his best friend, next to Jehovah was his wife. I stayed calm didn`t give any reaction, and had a good laugh about it afterwards. I had successfully found out who the spy was and heard she was counselled for causing gossip.

  dear Serein

  Don`t feel pressured or intimidated by those men, you owe them nothing. When I came out I wrote a diss letter I had one elder on the phone for over an hour and another two came by the next day using all their wee tricks, emotional blackmail, intimidation the usual panned phrase "where else would you go etc. I buckled and gave in for a while.

  I wrote another diss letter 4 months later and was quite firm with what I wrote. Tell them its your final decision and for them to respect it also ask them not to call you or contact you. It worked for me I never heard from them again and refused to meet with them.

  Hope all goes well for you

  by troubled mind in

  friday we were in the grocery store shopping .both of us were in a very good mood because our son was coming home for a visit ,and we were planning on some fun activities .

  then around the end of the aisle comes by husbands sister in law ( she is married to his step brother that is an elder) we nearly bump into her literally we are that close ...so i say ," oh hi ***** !

  " she would not even look at us and the expression on her face gave me chills ..pure contempt .

  For people who profess love their shunning practices sure invoke hatred. As a former member I too was shunned majestically by a dub today. She sat in the seat in front of me on the bus, when the seat in front of her became vacant she promptly marched onto that one. I guess my horns must have been showing!! What hurts is she would come to my house, eat my food, I`ve done absolutely nothing to her yet she feels justified in doling out such horrible treatment.

  I politely wrote and requested that I received no WT literature of any description after receiving an invite to the memorial.

  Two weeks ago my dad received an invite to the D/C, he`s 87 and lives on his own. None of his neighbours got one and a good few witnesses knew where my dad lived. I was livid to say the least, they`ll try and get to you no matter what.

  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  After I was reinstated an elders wife told me that he was so upset about my disfellowshipping and that it was weakness and not wickedness. (why was I disfellowshipped then) I wonder what else he told her, another wake up call in me getting out.

  Having d/a a few months ago I requested an Elder and a m/s to be my friends, just for a bit of fun, yeah Iknow nothing better to do. Imagine my surprise when I got loads of friend requests from apostates. Dont know how they did that. So i`ve closed my account, if I can pry into their accounts I`m sure they will do the same to me.

  To whinge and moan, It sure feels good to release these pent up angsts that we weren`t allowed to when we were in.
