...sigh...she doesn't mis you. She misses you being a dub.
Wow. Quite a way to put it. I don't know how I could possibly disagree...
We missed you, though.

so my mom tells me that my jw niece (whom i have known all my life but has made zero attempts to contact me after i left jdubland) told my mom that she misses me,.
she was invited to a "get together" at a married jw's house and i always went with her to those things before because she is single (because of the narrow field of good jw brothers who want a 30something pioneer who lives with her parents), and i was "spiritually single" (because i had no scriptural grant for divorce because of adultery-he skipped town).
but now she had to go alone and she didn't want to (but she figured she had to go, otherwise people would stop inviting her to do things), and big suprise from a jw "get together"...she didn't have a good time.. aaarg how depressing for her... i had to respond to my mom, so i said:.

this highly explosive six screens of the watchtower april 9-2011 conference call is now up loaded and ready to be heard.
concerned people from all over the world were calling in to get the latest news on what is going on in the world of the watchtower.. our first guest was barbara anderson and she brought us up to speed on the criminal complaint the watchtower organization is facing in australia.
barbara as always wants the facts straight and delivers her information in a very professional,competent manner.. steve guziec a former j.w.
... Everyone else posting on this thread prefers to hide behind a ficticious name and a cute little avatar. What message does that send to The Watchtower...... It speaks volume ,it tells The Org. that they still have control over you. Some of you are so paranoid of The Watchtower your scarred to death to even say what country you live in... Afghanistan ya right. If all of you would stop hidding in cyber space ,step out from your computer screen and tell the Watchtower Society publicly what you think, Then this destuctive Organization would be out of business tomorrow. Now you tell me ..... WHAT IS MORE INTIMIDATING TO THE WATCHTOWER ORGANIZATION?
Yeah, sure Ricky, the JWs are scared but they're anything but intimidated. All you and idiots like you do is make them close their minds and dig their heels in! People won't leave until they are ready to leave and what you do won't change their minds on iota or hasten their departure in any way.
You say we hide behind 'cute little avatars' but you are a cartoon of epic proportions. You are an utter parody of what non-believers in and opposers of the WTS really are. You play into the WTS's hand and play the character of a rabid opposer and sheep stealer to a "T". I repeat: what you do is utterly ineffective!
One more point: Despite your contention, anonymity is not a weakness. It's not mere cowardice. It's a weapon! It's a weapon that's as old as the spy game itself and already has been used to great effect against religion. It will continue to be employed. We will keep hiding behind our masks, working behind the scenes to spread information, TRUTHFUL information, about what the JWs and the WTS are really about. Below is an example of how anonymity has been used to strike true fear and terror into the hearts of the enemy...

when i was a single jw, well, lets say around about my early 20ies, i used to to let my mind flow a bit during the kh meetings.. welll, anyway, i used to observe some of the "older" sisters around their late 30ies or 40ies in their stockings and high heels.
it really turned me on, i must admit.
i couldn t concentrate much of the programme due to this.
I can relate to this, when I was a horny dub teen. But I left and graduated to catholic girls,..
Hmm... JW women and Catholic school girls. That's two groups of sexually repressed females. Shall we go for a third?

i don't believe that there is such a thing as a perfect, or an ideal situation.
ideal is the more appropriate word to use, because the word itself denotes a conception, a remote possibility, not a reality.
i'm asking you, in your lifetime, have you ever found complete fulfillment, or felt complete within yourself, and your accomplishments?
Happiness is a journey, not a destination...
I keep getting lost on the dirt roads though.

that i hate being "sick"... that i'm tired of being "under the weather"... that i wish this "recovery" and infection would hurry the heck up... and that i am almost out of my mind with boredom... and the inability to do my "usual" stuff... almost to the point of kicking the dog(s) (no, i'd never do that, but i really want to kick something!)???.
rant.
can't help it.
We'll hear you out Shelby. It's not like you're a drama queen who comes here for every silly little question or problem. You've shown yourself to be human and caring like most other ppl here.
We're here for ya.

i am sitting here in a study lounge.
when i got here around 15 minutes ago the only ones here were two young ladies and a young man, sitting around a table with their eyes closed.
the young man was talking.
Folks who pray out loud in public ARE trying to make a scene and make a big show of themselves AND they ARE indeed self-aggrandizing asshats for that.
This makes me think of Matthew 6:5 too. AMEN!

I'm also seriously into hiking. Garden variety sneakers just don't do the job if you're into hiking more than a mile or two in the woods. I have a good pair of water-proof hiking boots which I have paid a fair dime for...

with the continual emphasis that the watchtower places on following and trusting the fds and the gb in particular, one can only come to the following conclusion:.
the watchtower (and the jehovah's witnesses) are followers of a cult that worships the fds and the gb!.
essentially everything in the bible refers to the fds/gb.. everyone must listen to and follow what the gb says.. everyone must consume the "rich spiritual food" provided by the fds and the gb!.
I think that, if anything, the Faithful and Discrete Slave is merely a figurehead and a fiction. They don't really exist as anything but a smoke-screen to blind the JW faithful to what the Governing Body is really up to. The "annointed" who "partake of the emblems" have no status and no say whatsoever.
The GB are the ones who are really in charge. The GB calls the shots. The GB are "the scribes and the Pharisees" who have "seated themselves in the seat of Moses". The GB claim that they are just mediators but really they have, in effect, replaced Jesus and God with themselves. No-one questions anybody whom they see as gods, now do they?
