Someone in here is a mole

by focariedu21 in

friends

hy guys the other day my wife had a discussion with her jws brother and he told her that he received all posted material from this site posted by myself and was disgusted with the information.

now that's all fine by me but what i am pissed about is that some one in here from sydney australia is a mole and pretends to be an ex jws while all the while exposing each and every one he knows as in my case.

you are one big coward and one who hides behind a skirt a yellow and a chicken shit whom doesn't have the balls to face me in person because you obviously know who i am.

That's a horrible thing to happen although it's something any JW would do. They believe the end justifies the means. So did the hitler youth.

Some advise mentioning some fiction about yourself to throw the moles off the scent. I've never felt this necessary as I've hidden all the critical information like being a great carpenter, I even made all the chairs in my kingdom hall and initialled a few underneath which is known by a few local elders. Good luck turning over all those chairs in all those kingdom halls to find me

I'm very grateful for the efforts of a number of individuals such as Barbara Anderson, JW Facts, Cedars to name a just a few of the many that have done a great job in fighting the WBTS. How much better that they put their heads together and get more organised?

The Ex JW community has become strong in identifying and recording the inaccuracies and hypocrasies of the WBTS as well as the impacts through experiences. Channelling some of this through AAWA that makes a further dent in the existence of the WBTS has to be a good thing.

My latest university experience...

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

jw
friends

this isn't a jw experience, but for those of you that have been following my life, i thought i'd have a drink and share this strange event in my post-jw life.. for you wonderful newbies, you can catch up on highlights of my story in the few threads i've started here.

i'm finishing the junior year of my engineering degree and the classes are hard as hell.

i used to be among the smartest students in the room until i hit the 300 level university courses.

MMXIV

Well done Billy!

JW's often think they can easily succeed "if they chose to follow Satan's world". They have little appreciation for how hard it is, what a degree means. I was told so many times that a degree was just a title and that graduates thought they knew everything.

Turning up to lessons is all most JW's think is required to get a degree. I suspect your regular attendance would have helped to demonstrate your commitment but clearly your aptitude, attitude and hard work counted far more.

Will AAWA Become another cult?

by His Excellency in

please sorry for english, i have only been learning for 18 months.

everyone please think about it, and beware of any initiative designed to solve "a community problem".

becasue russel also started his own cult on a similar premise like this , claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days, and here we are today, constantly bashing our fingers on the keyboard in a bid to finding comfort from the mess he had put all of us into.

MMXIV

I wonder what the number of cults are as a % of organizations. Pretty small I'd suspect, better odds of being struck by lightening. I think we're all a little cult sensitive so obviously it will crop up in our thoughts. Is there any chance I'll give up 30 years of my life, my friends, my education, my health, my freedom to AAWA? No it won't be a cult - pretty stupid question IMHO.

I'd be happy for it to be called the Judean People's Front as long as the Watchtower feels some pain. This is an evolving worthy cause. Great idea, great team, good luck, will support however I can.

I know many of the other people who give at my office and I'd be happy to receive a pint of blood from any of them.

Plenty would like to give and can't so for as long as I can I going to carry on giving and who knows, maybe save the odd JW's life - fractionally that is!

I'm on the organ donor list too as had a relative that needed an organ and ran out of time too quick to get one. Tough topic to consider but if we all made the effort there would be some more very grateful people among us now.

Hate Crime against Members of a Congregation

by cantleave in

jw
friends

i recieved this email from an active witness regarding "hate crimes" against members of the congregation he/she attends.

it is interesting as to how the elders are dealing with it.. .

for some time our hall has been suffering minor vandalism.

MMXIV

LITS - OMG! I think people do downplay things to try to reassure but death threats or threats of violence or stalking are serious crimes! That was horrible.

JW bumper stickers

by innerpeace in

jw
friends

so my husband (who was never a jw) saw a christian bumper sticker today and asked me if the witnesses have any.

i said no (not that i know of anyway) so here are a few he came up with.. 'honk if you're a zombie'.

'my other car is noah's ark'.

MMXIV

If my lights are getting brighter then I'm about to do a U-turn

Every time someone reads this JW sticker I count one minute

If enough people read this sticker about my good news, then the end will come

If this bethel vehicle is being driven during morning worship or meeting hours then please contact the police.

Honk if you bonk! (chastely within the marriage arrangement)

Is there a 'third' way to leave?

by Splash in

once baptised, apart from death there are really just two ways to leave the congregation: df or da.. but notice this quote:.

"does he really desire to disassociate himself, or does he simply no longer want to associate actively with the congregation?".

- shepherd the flock of god (2010) p. 111. .

MMXIV

I used the phrase "I am not going to meetings". I did not say I'm not going to associate. Elders & family did probe to find out if there was a reason why and see if there was a way to categorise it as a disassociation. I was very positive, talked about the good work they had done and reassured them I'd talk to them if needed. I also went to the memorial soon after and was very positive there.

I had preceeded this with a carefully planned long fade, reducing activity, attendance at meetings and had no JW friends in the congregation - effectively showing I was weak.

Having spent 3 decades putting up with all kinds of rubbish, I was fine about leaving in a way where I could still have contact with my family. I didn't need to vent. For me it was the right decision.

They did try and hound but they couldn't get past the barrier of me thanking them. I moved to another area and that ended the contact.

How do family treat me now? It has taken a few years but they know that I'm better than anyone they know in the congregation (don't mean to boast). They certainly don't want to risk losing contact with me so they don't even preach to me :-)
