i posted a link on fb that lead to a topic here.
i then had one of my 'friends' start having a go about how bitter everyone is here....fact he said.
(he used to be a jw elder but left a while back, not sure why he left or if he has even researched the faith since leaving) the more i tried to reason with him that actually it is a support forum, the more he lashed out that everyone here bad mouths the jw's and only attack the jw's.
This is a def-of BITTER:
Bitter does not denote an inappropriate feeling like they have you feel by asking that question. So yes I am rightfully DISSAPOINTED IN THE LIES THIS CORRUPT ORG has dished out. They took our lives for personal gain! F-them.

in the mid-90's my wife faced a bogus charge of gossiping.
the charge was based on a fleshly sister of a jw easedropping on a conversation.
we fought the charge with the elders unable to produce any credible report of the actual conversation.
I get bolder with age...why? Because I am WISER AND NOT AFRAID ANYMORE...

Well I have to say for me it turned out to be GREAT !!! I am so glad we were mis-treated at so many levels...and I was really liked. But it was an awakening for me to see the hypocrisy of the org...the re-start of Life!!!
I had two elders try and get me to say I did not trust the Gov-Pope! And I had comments made like " oh then u are bitter? " I said no I am disappointed!
Now if they walked into my back yard I would tell them something different

i am curious what the reaction would be, would anyone notice, like if you had some green on, either it be a green tie, or green shirt, do you think anyone would say anything?
to everyone on here happy st patricks day!!

No...not planning on it. But I may wear green. I'm what you call a mix...multiple-national man. Besides I am trying not to go to the Celebration or the non-celebration...let alone to meeting tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement to wear green and remember someone's special day :)

the following are two emails (one mine, one from an elder) that are part of an exchange regarding the unfairness of shunning.
he is an elder and a substitute of the c.o.
he comes from a "highly decorated" family of jw's.
Snare & Racket...It was a good read for me...thanks, you made sense on many points.

an elder who handled the minor matter with my husband a few weeks ago called to see how we were doing.
this guy genuinely is a gentle, kind, man whom the congregation loves.
he's the one everyone approaches because he never judges or condescends.
Pistoff....you hit the nail ON the head. FADE dont fall into their trap.... Good advise... only tell them what they need to know that keeps the spot light off of you.

i have seen questions regarding how much jehovah's witnesses lie all the time on yahoo answers.
here is the latest question:.
jehovah's witnesses, is lying at any time something jehovah approves of?.
Not telling the Whole truth is called deception. Plain and simple you are misleading --- lying.. If you know you are withholding information that is morally wrong...let alone biblically wrong.

sorry,,couldn't help it,,but it was the news..
well on wednesday i am going to be getting my first tattoo.
i have had this particular piece of art that i have wanted for years but was too afraid to put it to skin as it will require a great amount of detail.
but i finally decided to go for it.
Got mine over a year ago...now that I am in control of my mind. Thinking about getting one more to complete my feelings. What I know is...how I feel now should never change as it reflects a "truism". A truism is a claim that is so obvious or self-evident as to be hardly worth mentioning.
Good for you!

once i was little boy in fort worth, texas living with my maw maw and paw paw and mommy.. then, i was an 18 year old 6'4'' skinny 165lb religious nut being dipped in a baptismal during a local assembly.. suddenly, i was 20 and listening to a jail cell door clang behind me as a conscientious objector.. wow!
23 years old and put on parole until my 6 years sentence was ended!
i got married to a nice jw girl and had 3 kids!.
