Going to meetings to "save face."

by Darkknight757 in

going to make this short and sweet but i need some advise again and i kinda need to vent a bit so sorry.😢.

so it has been weeks since the wife and i have been to meetings.

it has been nothing short of wonderful!!!

You didnt need to go to a meeting to hand in keys and a book did you? There are always other ways.

If living your life to save face is the aim then you will be forever on that treadmill and never pleasing yourself. Dont do it.

"an unhappy creditor" according to the newspaper, so he was lent money for his business and failed to repay some or all of it. No doubt he would have been given ample opportunity to do so.

How has the allegation of fraud "been destroyed"?

If you have the evidence that that is the case then lets see it please. Otherwise you are asking for leaps of faith.

Not wishing to defend the wts here, but it seems likely to me simply on face value that he was DF'd based on his having taken someone elses money and not paying it back.

Unless there was some other stuff going on that escalated into that situation and he felt he was owed the money he got, then I cant see why someone would accuse him or why the elders would deem sufficient evidence to start a JC and then actually DF him, unless he had actually taken the money.

But hey, I wasnt there, I dont know anything, I'm just saying what it looks like on face value.

So personally, I'd be very wary of jumping in to support someone in this position unless you have inside knowledge of the JC and are pretty damn sure he didnt actually defraud someone.

Any here who didn't rebel as a teenager and were a goody two shoes instead?

by purrpurr in

when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.

alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.

i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.

Witness My Fury

The cult is all about guilt and fear and boy did i have that in spades, I tried my best to be good and hated myself when i wasnt, that's a pretty toxic mix to grow up with and does nothing positive for a person.

I never understood those around me fornicating and living double lives because i was a believer and as such could never have allowed myself to do that. I nearly left the cult in my 20s because i just wanted sex so bad but felt the only way was to quit the cult then go do that, i didnt mainly because i had no way to support myself properly and leave home at the time because that is what i thought it would come to, which looking back now is odd as my dad was not JW, so it was all about my mothers reaction.

Do i regret not doing so, not particularly as there are too many unknowns and variables there to judge. Clubbing and drinking were never my thing, it was just sex.

ToMo has a New Soulmate - Toronto woman wakes up to raccoon sex

“i found it gross and disgusting.".

- if you see this balcony rockin’, don’t come knockin’.it was too early thursday morning for ava kwinter to unsee what she describes as a “traumatic” start to her day.as she passed by her door leading to the second-floor balcony just before 7 a.m., she saw two shadowy figures locked in an embrace.“the sun was already coming up but it was still dark,” she said.

Her hubby (on the slim chance he is still around) must be thrilled with her puritanical views on sex.

Attention Governing Body, What does nature tell you about a male having long hair?

by Greybeard in

jw
friends

i was raised my entire life to believe it is a shame for a man to have long hair because of this bible scripture 1 corinthians 11:14, “does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man?” nwt however the international standard version reads, “nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair.” so what does nature really teach us?

jesus was called, “the lion of judah” and the king of the jungle has long hair.

thank you nature for clearing this twisted scripture up for me.

Witness My Fury

My hair at this very moment is the longest it has ever been in my entire life. It's going longer....

Very Weird Experience During Recent Special Talk After Memorial

by Tenacious in

hesitantly i attended this talk with my family and sat through it without batting an eye.. mentally i take myself out during the entire meeting some would describe this as daydreaming or zoning out.

whatever the case may be, for some reason this particular speaker, whom i know of but not personally, got my attention the way he would say certain phrases.

he cited some texts that directly advised the audience that faith in christ was the only way to salvation.

Witness My Fury

He probably professes to be of the anointed, over use of the term "father" is a bit of a give away.

Touching scene from angel-A

by sillygirlforgotpassword in

i was going through a pretty rough patch the last couple of weeks after a breakup, a "vacation" spent at my parents, some health scares and other random thoughts the realization i'm not 25 and as toned and consistently fresh faced anymore (feel free to call me shallow because that i am ;).

i fully agree that we aren't to worry about aging, but aging gracefully!

2 weeks at home spent being harassed by my parents for not being up to the spiritual mark didn't help either.

Witness My Fury

I need a 6 foot blonde. It has been decided!

I hope you are doing better sillygirl.
