Yeah...this is not an expression exclusive to non or former Witnesses.
I've heard Jdubs use this for quite some time.
Much like when people call Volkswagens VW's or Vee Dubs
The University of Washington (U.W.) The U dub.

the expression "JDUB"
by wannaexit ini've heard the expression jdub coming out of the mouths of a couple of witnesses.
does it mean they know stuff about this organization and could possible be visiting sites such as jwd?.
this is leading me to believe that there are a lot more witnesses that have realized that their religion is a scam..

Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?
by Mr Facts ini am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.
but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.
i have pity for you all.. .

What part of the "sense of security" are you lacking or at risk of loosing by seeking information on a so called "apostate" Website ?

My non JW Uncle is an Engineer at the Royal Mint in Wales....could that be where you are going?? He lives in a 300 year old stone cottage in a small village by the Sea. There are ruins of a beautiful castle just a short walk through the field behind their home.
When I was there last, my aunt's car had been recently hit by another car as she was pulling out of her driveway. Another man stopped and gave her his phone number in case she needed a witness for insurance purposes etc. A few days later a couple of people knocked at the door and said something about being witnesses or something so my aunt thought they were there about the accident. She directed them out to speak to her husband who was cutting the grass in the back garden. When she looked out the window later she saw her husband going back and forth across the lawn with the mower, continuing to cut the grass as the two people trotted along beside him. She thought he was being terribly rude and had decided to give him a good scolding when he came inside. Later he explained the two people were (you guessed it) JW's.
I told my Aunt about H.B.H (home but hiding) She thought that was hysterical and thought it was even funnier that JW's know that's what most people do.
They are everywhere but at least you won't know them personally. All the best to you in your new situation.

Another story to teach children what happens to people who don't do what God and the people who say they are his chosen ones, want them to do.
The story of Jack and the beanstalk could have just as easily been a bible story had someone made it up soon enough to get in included.
Jack stood for God's children who sell the family cow (spiritual heritage) and succumb to selfish longings. The magic beans symbolized Man's foolish teachings that appear fertile and valuable. The Giant stood for Satan's organization. The beanstalk stood for worldly pursuits and ambitions that can, for a time, help one achieve lofty positions in this system of things. The goose that laid the golden egg is the riches that can be sought after and aquired at great danger to our spiritual lives etc etc...

email Blitz
by exwhyzee ini have the email addresses of friends and family with whom i'd like to share the information out there on the candice conti case and other wt revelations that you never hear about while on the inside.
i don't use the addresses i have for this because i don't want to cause a further rift between myself and what's left of my lifes social and family network.
i don't want them to leave the organization, i just want them to know what's going on behind the scenes so that they know exactly what they are basing their whole life around.. i have often wondered if any on here have ever exchanged email address with one another so that information such as the conti case can be sent sort of anonymously to our "still in" witness friends and family.

Thanks A.B.S. you are streets ahead of me on this. This is sounding more and more do able, but I have to say, I am also feeling more and more like the image of the evil apostate we've all heard about just by just thinking about doing this. Then I realize that I would only be delivering information that they should know about and not be prevented from seeimg, like I was. As I said before, I don't have a problem with someone being a JW so long as they are free to look into the background of their religion from an outside source with out being punished.
It seems pretty likely that most of us on here know JW's all over the country or the world that could easily be "informed" via a simple link sent to them in an email. I can only imagine what the result would be if all former JW's sent links to their "still in" JW friends and family.

I have often wondered if any on here have ever exchanged email address with one another so that information such as the Conti case can be sent sort of anonymously to our "still in" Witness friends and family. Most JW's won't hear about this case or find out about much of the hidden information one finds regarding the background of the society on the Internet. If an email came from me to one of my family members about this, they'd take offense and possibly shun me further. If it came from someone else, they'd get the information but it wouldn't make a difference to the anonymous sender if their address was 'blocked'. I've thought about opening a fake email account for this purpose but I'm not sure if they'd be able to trace it back to me.
Has anyone ever done an email exchange like this? If so how effective was it?
