My ONLY Regret about being an Ex-Jehovah's Witness...
by civicsi00 inreading the title of this thread, you may believe that perhaps there is one thing that i am discontent with in being an ex-jehovah's witness; and possibly this might mean that i would return to the watchtower.. well, it's not one of those threads.
i am quite happy and content since leaving.
i don't regret it one bit.. my only regret with being an ex-jehovah's witness is that i will never be able to confront the people behind the curtain.. i would have loved to have met fred franz... only to be able to confront him about all his false prophecies.. i would have loved to have met rutherfraud... only to be able to tell him that he wasn't just "being an ass" for the whole 1925 thing.

by bobld indo you remember ram,"ram was unaware of how important eating and other daily practices are to health.".
until he read the may 8,2002:sept. 22,2003 and a video produced by (himself) jehovah's witnesses.. from under what pre-historic rock do this man crawl out.on the evolution scale he is one generation removed from the monkey,but i could be wrong.good lord we learned these things in grade school.oh,i forgot jehovah's witnesses are forbidden to read or believe things not writtten by mother wbts.. i did not know the wtbs was into preaching health.do they have qualified people or do they just use google.. b.

screwed up is a polite way to put it. got hitched waaaaay to young to a broad who was not for me, we all know why!! lol!
after a nasty divorce (kids involved) i decided to fade outta the bs cult. was not easy, went and still going through a major depression because my family for the most part has nothing to do with me cuz i am very vocal about what i do and do not believe. ive been dubbed a "nit picker" and a "fault finder". the apostate word has been flung at me too which doesnt help. my kids are being indoctrinated and every once in a while my kids will ask if i will be in the paradise? because jah doesnt let people who divorce and dont go to the meeting in, wtf! been busting my chops working like a crazy mofo to support my kids and pay alimony, in the meantime shes moved in with her family and is using my child support to pay off her shopping debts of like 15 grand and is not even working and its been 3 years weve been through. im tired and burnt out.
ive since spiralled outta control (drugs, alcohol) but i still have a bit of my sanity left. its the only thing that keeps me more or less sane...knowing that one day things will look up.
its not easy being rejected by ones family and losing the only friends we have. ontop of living like a friggin hobo just so i can support a lazy ass dub biatch who doesnt work cuz shes too effed up in the head. grrr!! i feel like breaking something!!

"Jah"
by Ding ingiven the emphasis the wts places on using and exalting the name "jehovah," why do they allow jws to refer to him as "jah"?.
i suppose it's a term of endearment and an abbreviation as in "hallelujah.".
but, really, did the israelites call abraham "abe"?

Do worldly people (never a JW) request no blood in case of emergency?
by Iamallcool injust wondering.

this is one of those stupid lines that any jw will throw out at you when theyre cornered on the blood doctrine "even worldlies refuse transfusions because of the risk!" see how jehovah protects us!!
its a blatant lie from maybe a handful of cases where patient refused, not being a jw.

It is truly a "Dog & Pony" Show !
by Pitchess Co-Gen inmy bother ( who i don't really talk too because of a different issue with him ) and i got disfellowshipped on the same day ( 2/28/09 ).
ive been pretty inconstant when it comes to meeting attendance ( i haven't been in more than six months ), while ever sence my brother and his wife had a baby he's been super regular at the meeting ( nine months straight without missing one meeting !).
when he turned in his reinstatement letter ( by the way he moved to a new congregation ).

lol! yep so true!! my ex had the same experience with her re-instatement. she didnt get word back so she asked the elder in charge of her case and he said they needed more time. went back and forth and finally her biatch meddling mother went to the elder and asked him what was going on. she got back in a couple weeks after.

Evolution of a Con
by Resistance is Futile inhelp me out here, ive never been a jw (family are in the cult) but im trying to fully understand the madness that is their doctrine and subsequent mind control over their captive members.
its seems logical that they will eventually abandon the 144,000 doctrine as being a literal number.
time is the enemy of a false prophet.

when all the annointed generation and all the other overlapping generations are dead, the then reigning governing body will claim to be spirit directed from christ and the 144000 to take care of their earthly possessions or some bs like that. the nice part about being cult leaders is that you get unconditional loyalty from your followers.

Are you open minded?
by TimothyT ini figured it would be fun if i wrote this, went for a shower, and then came back to check how many have responded!.
just to set the scene, im currently a jw in the uk but i am having issues with my sexuality.
i have just come back from the ministry with a group of brothers!

personally after exiting the jw's i was a close minded raging bible thumper, i hated gays/lesbians and the "world" in general.
now i have several close friends who are gay/lesbian and from all kinds of different backgrounds. they are some of the most sincere peeps i ever met, all cuz i took my head outta my ass and woke up.
ive come to see the world with a whole different perspective now that i am out.

Is Being In A "Relationship" Important To You?
by minimus ini am referring to a personal/sexual relationship with someone, perhaps, that you could possibly love.. i know a lot of people who are very content to date, possibly have sex and look for another partner..

relationships are all the same in my books...not worth the hassle. most women are only after what they can get out of you, whether that may be money, presents, wining and dining, having a good time, emotional crutch or a stepping stone from the last relationship. it all starts off nice and rosy, then turns to shit.
i have no problem playing their game in terms of having a good time etc..but anything over and above that is off limits for me now. i am of course a jaded s.o.b but hey ive got my reasons.
