Sadly, whoever posted that is going to learn the hard way that that religion doesnt care anything for him or her. I hate that people have to learn the hard way. I'm not saying that they shouldnt believe in a higher form, or not believe in spirituality, but why would any person give up there mind for that cultish religion I will never understand why.

Apostates are narrow-minded victims of brainwashing who believe everything they read
by cedars inor so says the person who left this comment on jwsurvey.org.... what just amazes me is how people can pass judgement on others, make vast sweeping statements and make out that they know best.
this isnt just based on this page, but other pages ive read on this website.
while youre at it why not just say all black people are criminals, all asians are rapists and all white people molest their children.

What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?
by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique ini once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.
due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.
isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

This one circuit overseer was acting really weird toward me. I opened the door for him, and he decided to go out of another door. The whole incident was just strange. As a female, you really see how unimportant women are in the watchtower world. (Except for field service and pioneering of course).

What's you BIGGEST pet peeve/disagreement with the WT or GB?!?
by TeenageInsider infor me its the district conventions.
not bragging in anyway, but i was born-into a family of 'higher ups' im talking co's and zo's..... and there is a room that they set up in the conventions/stadiums called the "chairmans office".
i always have access to these rooms, because im usually with one of my higher up family members who give talks and all that other crap.. anyways, while everyone in the convention is sitting in the sun, eating a slimy, soggy bolognia sandwich, the chairmans office is air conditioned, has a variety of chilled beverages, 'coke, pepsi, diet coke, gatorade, dasani water bottles,' not to mention the 'danishes, sandwich triangles, cookies, cakes, muffins, fresh coffee, and for lunch, pizza, salads, pastas, and lasagna'.

Man, pretty much everything. The fact that their a marketing book company that fronts like a religion. That they use cultish religious propaganda to enslave ther members. That people's lives have seriously been ruined because of this so called religion. The main reason I left was because of how they exploit children and ruin their minds FOR LIFE!!!!! They think they can just step in and divide familes? So many reasons.

I think I called her older because of the way that she acts. She actually acts a lot older than 50's. But your 50's is not old. And I was wrong for posting that. Please forgive me guys.

If bacon didnt exist I would be convienced that the world is coming to an end.
In a related story: My coworker is muslim and will cut anyone if they even talk about pork or bacon. I couldnt live without it. I'm suprised that the
faithful and discreet slave didnt ban bacon in its publication.

Why do they say: Brother is no longer JW VS Brother is disfellowshipped?
by Joliette inwhy did the watchtower stop saying that so and so is disfellowshipped?
why did they change this?

So if you disassociation yourself you still have a chance of an elder getting on a stage and saying: He or she is no longer being one of JW's? Even if you just decided that you no longer want to be apart of it. That you didnt do anything wrong you just dont want to be a part of it. Wow.
You cant win or lose with this so called religion.

Right now it is 5:41am here in Milwaukee, I cannot sleep and it is utter torture. UGH!
I have to be at work at 3pm today, and I cannot sleep. Slept all day, and finally woke up at 5 o'clock and started cleaning apartment. Work up at 10:00am but went back to sleep. Cleaned a good portion of my apartment but still got a lot more to go. Well, gonna start my story out like this: Everyone knows my life story, I think I posted it on here, never got baptised, but went to the kingdumb hell on a regular basis until I was 27 (I am 29 now). Everything about the kingdom hall influenced my life; now I am trying to look at the world without being influenced by the watchtower. This sister (she's in her late 50's) that used to study with me, still stops by trying to give me watchtowers and awakes. I accept but I do not read them. I thought about telling her no to her face but I do not want to offend her. She might break down crying. She is a very loyal and brainwashed JW's and she's been a pioneer for years (I'm talking since the 70's). Years. She was so sweet to me when she studied with me. Treated me like a kid even though I was a grown ass woman and should have been conducting my own studies. (HAHAHA). She stopped by my house last week Friday and gave me a watchtower and awake, December 2012. I was looking at both of the magazines and couldnt help but to think: WE ARE ACTUALLY IN 2012. ILL BE 30 NEXT YEAR. MY PARENTS ARE NOW GRANDPARENTS. THE NEST IS EMPTY. BOTH OF MY BROTHERS HAVE MOVED ON WITH THEIR LIVES AND HAVE THEIR OWN PLACES. I would have thought the world was gonna be destroyed by now (as a kid, thinking back to 1988 and beyond).
Well, basically this older witness stop by my house and I do not have the heart to tell her no to her face. So I decided I'm going to write a letter and basically tell her that I have NO INTREST in going back to the KH. Ever. There is not one thing in the world that will make me go back. The main reason why I stopped going was because of the child abuse and child mantipulation, blood tranfusion issue, generation and overall doctrine changes, etc. But I'm not gonna mention this specific-wise in the letter, gonna be as indirect as possible while being direct at the same time. I've learned that there is a certain way that you have talk to j-dubs. You can't give them the raw facts, they'll think that your satan; you can't be too offensive, but at the same time, you have to be CLEAR ON THINGS. If I keep letting her come by and drop off magazines, I'm saying that esstentially: the watchtower is okay, the religion is okay, and IT IS NOT OKAY!!!!! The watchtower is a harmful corporation that has harmed thousands upon thousands of lives, and I will let her know that I do not agree with the corporation and/or organizational policies. I'm also writing a letter to my parent' s congo letting them know that I do not like the way my parents are being treated in their congregation.
Besides that, my mom texted me tonight and tell me that the girl that was working for her (my mom works from home) is talking to a 21 year old man and she is seventeen!!! My mom talked to the elders about it tonight. Theres a little bit of drama in my mom's congo about this, and everyone is saying that my mom shoulda went to her mom, FIRST!!!
Does anyone have any pointers as to what I should say in the letter to sister old pioneer???
