I'm calling troll.
Probably some bored Bethelite.
1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .
i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.
my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

Hey, have you ever heard of the story about the prodigal son?
Mrs Jones - I was thinking the same thing.
i have facebook.
i probably get on it 4 or 5 days a week, typically to see what's going on with family and those i know.
plus pictures!.
I check mine a few times a day.
As for personal information, it's up to you what details you reveal. If you're that paranoid about your details use false info.
the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.
you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.
i always go to the beach like this!
I'm surprised that the women aren't in skirts!
a forwarded e-mail from a faithful sister:.
new classes for jehovah's witnesses .
meets 4 weeks, monday and wednesday for 2 hours beginning at 7:00 pm.. .
Class # 1 I thought was one I could relate to, as someone who often had to pick up ppl for meetings and field service yet rarely got any compensation for it.
there is one christmas carol that has always baffled me.
what in the world do leaping lords, french hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with christmas?.
this week, i found out.
You learn something interesting every day!
jw leaks has updated their "human rights" page with hundreds of pages of documents released, all relating to 19 separate court cases involving jehovah's witnesses conducted through the european court of human rights and also the australian refugee tribunal.. .
the 9 cases that were run through the australian refugee tribunal by the jehovah's witnesses all came from lebanon.. .
one former member of jehovah's witnesses, who advised on a number of refugee and migration cases for jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society of australia, and provided the documents and background information (yet to be published) to jw leaks, stated:.
Interesting...
i am in a very rotten mood and i am very pissed off today.
i just want to smack a certain someone right now.. now let me back up and explain why.
my husband was laid off from his job, but that is not why im angry.
Perhaps she was trying to make a joke - that fell like a lead balloon.
Sorry about your husband getting laid off - hope he finds a new job very soon.
greetings to you all from scotland!
it's nice to finally be able to say hello to you all, having been a long time reader of the forum.. i put off signing up as i didn't feel i had much to contribute, but if i'm honest, seeing atlantis' post about confidential information pushed me into it.. i hope i can get round to writing my story - i always enjoy reading others and it never ceases to amaze me how many have had similar experiences.. so there goes my first post!.

88JM,
If you're scared of being outed, either don't post your story, or change some of the details so it doesn't point to you. None of us will know what details you've changed.
.......because i was raised a jw and not allowed to do anything like birthday parties and the like.. i was ridiculed because i was dragged around on the 'ministry'(tm) and my class mates saw and laughed.. i wasn't allowed to go into school morning assembly even though it wasn't religious...just in case.....so i used to get beat up in the cloak room.. i tried to fit in but had too many guilt trips.. i now loathe the god concept and the gb!.
.
I was the weird Witness kid too.
I try to see the benefit of it in that I learnt to stand on my own two feet despite peer pressure.
