by Sabin in

so here is the thing, i love trousers/pants always have even as a kid i was such a tom boy, always up trees, covered in mud, skate boarding you know the adhd type (basically off my tree out of control) as i got older i still liked my trousers, it's what i'm comfortable in that & p.j's.

i love my p.j's.

so i hated that every time i went to the hall i had to wear a stupid skirt.

Careful sabin "you could be borderline homosexual" with those last comments you made in your post.

How did you feel when you found out "the truth about the truth"?

so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.

the un membership.

the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.

SIAR2 very nice topic post.

My feelings closly resemble everything LITS wrote in his post.

I literally felt like I wasted my whole life. It was a horrible feeling and even worse knowing that you are the only one in your whole family that knows the real truth and that they wouldn't believe you if you even tried to talk about it with them....

So many emotions all boiled in one

Just to add, my MIL is the smartest woman unlike her husband that cant even keep his pants on straight without her assistance. He acts like he cant do a thing on his own yet I watch how he talks to her like she is less than nothing sometimes all to assert his male dominance and headship role. She just takes it submissively although half the time I know she just wants to tell him where to shove it.

She puts up with alot of crap as a jw wife that I never agreed with. My hubby knows not to try that mess with me but it sure makes me mad that many jw women will take this type of treatment and not say a word. Ugggghh

Khaleesi watching that load of crap makes me even more happy about my decision to leave this sexist religion behind. I was never the submissive type anyway but I always did my best to be humble and subservient in the presence of men. I really cant believe I brought into this crap. What kind of logic is that for him to say that if a women says she would do something different if she was an an elder that shes automatically a homosexual.

God the more I learn about this religion from an outside perspective the more I hate it.

Thanks for sharing this video.

Is it true? Heard a rumor WT postphones Disfellowshipping until further notice!!??

by Olivia Wilde in

i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.

i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.

has anyone else heard anything like this recently?

Lostwun

I have a friend who is still known as an active witness yet has posted youtube videos on her facebook of ex-jw's videos on how to leave the Jehovah's witness organization and the ARC covering of Jeffrey Jackson's testimony.

My friend has also revealed by phone to inquiring elders that she had doubts about the organizations and she said they wrote a letter to the society asking what to do about her questions and if they should disfellowship her.

She said that the elders received a response back from the society telling them to WAIT and not pursue the matter. The elders demanded however that she stopped posting videos and take the current ones on her page down.

This has me thinking that they could be taking a more laxed approached to some degree, depending on your local BOE.

I know it is well known in my area that I have apostate leanings or quite frankly am an apostate but no further action has been taken towards me either. YET
