Welcome my new friend. I know its a lot to take in...disbelief about the watchtower, the teachings in general, the people, the organization. You will be at peace in due time.

First Post
by mtwtf inhi.. as a lurker ive watched this site for >2 years and agonized over whether to join-in or keep my anonymity.
now im trying to do both; join-in with specific posts; remain anonymous by keeping my personal details to myself.
i guess some will berate me for this.

- Yesterday I get a call from my fed aid advisor at the University that I go to...I owe the school about $1200. I can regsiter or continue on with my education until I pay them off. I just tried to apply for credit card to pay for the debt. I didnt get approved for any of the credit cards cause guess what: I aint got no credit. Brother and Sister Johnson were my credit card. Now the gravy train has ended for me. Why did I take it for granted. I've been getting into a lot of trouble with money lately. In fact, most of my friends and family here in Milwaukee are in debt. I'm gonna have to get a second job cause I have to pay this back, along with my rent, electric, cell phone, internet.
- I'm at my freakin whits end with my job. I'm in the finality of the finality with dealing these wack ass people at my job. The people that I work with I honestly cannot stand. I dont hate them but I never have to see them again in life. EVER. I have never worked with a bunch of money hungry, hopeless, worthless group of people ever in life. The reality is that I have to find another job. And the thought of working at another job with another group of hopeless, worthless group of people scares the living shit outta me. Even though we act like we like eachother, secretly deep down inside we all hate eachother. And my coworkers have no respect for me. None. What have I ever done to them? They might act nice to my face, but I know they have very little respect for me.
- I promised myself that I was gonna stay off the computer this summer and really get out and start working out. I've gained weight since I moved out of my parents house in 2009 (I was already overweight before) but now I have really gained weight. Its so hard to get into a rountine of working out. A lot of JW's and XJW's have gained weight over the years, and there are A LOT of overweight people here in Milwaukee. My mom constantly complains about people being overweight, but especially me. I keep promising myself that I'm gonna workout but I never get around to it. And dont even get me started on eating habits. I eat fast food almost everday.
- I have some health issues that I need to deal with, but I do not have insurance. I have 11 cavitives that I need removed, but I do not have dental insurance.
I thought that by now, in 2012, that the new world was gonna be here, but I would have never guessed that it would be like this. Ever. I guess I just have to deal with the issues of life. I do not have children yet, but I know if I do decide to have children, life is gonna get a lot more challenging. Man, I can't even imagine at this point. What happened to the new system of things? No more crime, wars, no more money woes, no more disease, no more worries? Jehovah, if you are up there, you suck! Oh, wait, its all my fault cause I made my 'choices' right. You suck Jehovah. #teamsatan.

Texans are crazy (no offense to the exJW's texans on here) but some of the right winged ones are just nuts. I heard they were trying to break off from the union after Obama became president.

Sparlockgate - the YouTube copyright clampdown continues!
by cedars inyou may remember some time ago i released a song entitled "sparlock we love you" on youtube.. the song was a parody of the "become jehovah's friend" dvd, and became very popular - with well over 10,000 views last time i checked.. i did consider the possibility that the society would complain on grounds of copyright infringement, because i used some specially-altered versions of images on the dvd, such as the one below.... .
however, i shrugged this off, because i thought even the society wouldn't be as petty as to publically complain about the way the images were used.. nevertheless, they did.
today i got the following email.... dear john cedars,we have disabled the following material as a result of a third-party notification from watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvanias, claiming that this material is infringing:.

SMH...the watchtower never fails to just be utterly ridiculous and over the top, and overreacting.

@ Jamie, my brother is not an active Jehovah's Witness but he is trying to get back to the hall and believes in Jehovah. He calls me an apostate. His mom is not a Witness but goes to chruch.

The Truth About Bible Principles: Chastity and Abstinence
by sabastious injehovah's witnesses have a vast array of buzzterms that are fed into them on a regular basis, not the least of which is the term "bible principles.
" for most of my life i was convinced that only members of the watchtower bible and tract society were applying bible principles in the correct way.
this was mainly because we believed we had the correct translation of the holy scriptures which was largely rejected by "satan's world.

This is my cutie pie nephew Matthew right here. He is only 10 months:
I was over my parents house yesterday my dad was watching TV with him. We saw some commerical with the comediane steve harvey, and my dad says to my nephew: 'Steve Harvey'. Then all of a sudden, dad says: Say Jehovah...Jeeeehovvvah loves you Matty Fatty. I gave my dad a look and then rolled my eyes. My mom didnt see it. Man, I was so mad. But what can you do when people are brainwashed and believe that are teaching there kids (or grandkids in this case) the right thing. Man, I am truly hoping that he doesnt grow up to be a Jehovahs Witness. Anything but that. Please!!!!

Stillthinking I enjoyed your post and thanks for your encouraging words.
I'm still tripped out at my friend implying that mental illness is a blessing? WTF? I wish I didnt go through what I went through growing up. I wish I could have been normal. The Jehovahs Witness stuff just made it 10X worse.
