i was told this by my raving ranting father.
kids cannot be raised these days without the watchtower guiding us!
the demons are everywhere and they will get them.
exactly what everone here is saying! im so mad and frustrated!!
why does me not wanting the "truth" anymore have to mean me not wanting to do anything with my family??
but thats the way they see it. like my dad said word for word "in the end if youre not with us youre against us"...i guess im against them then... :-(

i feel like beating my head against a brick wall!!
i can truly in my heart say this is a cult. hands down its the dirtiest filth of a cult one can find.

i was told this by my raving ranting father. thats right! kids cannot be raised these days without the watchtower guiding us! the demons are everywhere and they will get them. i swear to god these people cant hear themselves talk! and refuse to answer questions without weaving a big mess of contradicting shit!!
i hate the society! with a passion for fucking up my family! my own dad said it was my decision if i wanted to leave but that his loyalty is to the society. said that i can do whatever i want but if i choose to reject the society that i choose to reject them at the same time!? wtf!
i find it to be frankly disrespectful.
im a father, if my kids were to call me by my first name id find that wierd.
we address judges with "your honor" and various other titles, so why on earth would we call the almighty god by his first name?
exactemondo!! what heaven said
i find it to be frankly disrespectful.

thanks outlaw for the wonderful pic! you guys notice the "bling" on their fingers?? the 2 dudes on the left, and i remember when i was watching the video there was the black dude...jaracz is it? who had one big chunk on his finger. not much different than the show and tell of the other "churches". all paid for by the flock.
yeah this was something i was confused about younger. and when they say that oh its the scripture that says he who calls upon the name of god will be saved, like b said, god i dont think is gonna hear a prayer and say "sorry try again" cuz he dont hear his name. id even use a more personal illustration, if being a parent you hear your child desperately crying out for help,mommy! daddy! will u not stop whatever ur doing and go help? how much more so with our heavenly father?
heaven: what do ya expect? its an american religous corporation. couldnt be any more fitting to have a buncha yankees runnin the show, they musta voted the black dude on the executive councel/ board of directors to say "see! see!! we support/take advantage of visible minorities!" lol!

jws are so arrogant and self righteous that they take the liberty of calling almighty god by his first name?? "dear jah, please bless this and that and give us this and that..." gimme gimme gimme!
one would think theyd be struck by lightening...
reading 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.
lol! outlaw are those spiderman panties?? theyre hot!
i received a phone call from my mother (who is still a jw, but very accepting of me still as her loving son, even though i was disfellowshiped for questioning the oranization and choosing the bible over the watchtower at that time).
she makes normal talk, just regular stuff pertaining to situations of ours.
about me coming to visit, and or her coming.
dude!! your bro is not getting praise or commendation for free...he's paying with his soul that he sold so cheaply to the wts.
trust me, i have done quite a bit of naughty stuff myself, but its not what we do that counts, its where we end up when its all said and done. im not diffed (faded) but gawd i wish i could just say to hell with it and take the plunge, but i really dont want my family against me during these hard times...its like a catch 22, and its really eating me up inside, bad.
keep up the good fight brah!
a fellow sinner
well, on his facebook profile pic he had a goatee on him.
it looks like it is very recent and he gave the public talk very recently, after his talk, his congregation invited him for a dinner at someones house.
i see a pic of him, but he is all clean shaven.
it all depends on the congregation and who you have for elders, but in general it is no, it is not ok for witnesses to wear facial hair, its frowned upon and will get you labelled spiritually weak, worldly or rebelious.
when i went to a family members wedding, i had a full trimmed beard. my family all wanted me to shave it, i didnt cuz im not a pushover anymore.
when i was at the wedding, i got all kinds of glares and stares, wasnt hard to tell who the worldly guy was lol! i got a few smart remarks about it from some elders and a ms, to which i bluntly replied "jesus had a beard" and they just shut up.
