JustHuman ...with you in spirit & feeling sad, not
for your 'graduation' but for the way you were
stripped of so much ...as most ex's have been.
Sorry for your lonliness & pain ... caused only
by a deceptive cult ...it was not necessary at all.
They say "oh no we don't shun, we love everyone"
We know better don't we!
I wish you so many great things for your life,
you deserved much better. Be happy now & plse
come back and tell us how you are.

FORGIVENESS ... You owe it to your health
by ABibleStudent ini'm cleaning up my home of unnecessary magazines/newsletters that i have accumulated over the years.
while i was working as an employee i did not feel like i had the time to read them.
now that i'm not working as an employee but work as a volunteer to network and maintain workplace skills, i seem to have more time to read.. after reading many threads by former jws, i thought that the following article might help some to heal.

Artificial Blood vs. Artificial Cigarettes (e-cigarettes)
by RubaDub indisclaimer: this is a rub a dub serious comment (i can only do the serious stuff every so often when i haven't had enough fiber in my diet).. i was in a group with several brothers after the sunday meeting and brought up the new information about the artificial blood.
only one had heard of it but most thought it was a good idea.. i then mentioned that i guess the new e-cigarettes are a good idea too.
one mentioned that we don't smoke.

So I got called on today...
by Thumblina inpoor sod.
i felt quite sorry for him in the end.. for context, i was brought up as a jw since i was very young.
i left 6 years ago (faded) a little before turning 30. i was on here a lot around that time but under a different profile that's no longer active.. for the past 18 months, i'm back living in the territory of the congregation i grew up in.

Brooklyn Bethel in the 1940 census
by dissonance_resolved inprompted by another post, i looked up 124 columbia heights in the 1940 census.
a few interesting things: all occupants are listed as having the profession of "sell- religious books," except rutherford who is listed as an "editor.
" odd that they aren't listed as ministers.. also, all the educational levels of the occupants were provided- many had not even graduated high school and some not even grammar school.

Some JW on the street, my reaction...

sp74bb ...congratulations on getting out, not
everyone makes it! When you see the jws..just let
your breath right out & the inhale slowly & deeply.
This will relax your diaphram & make you laugh!
Practice it .....it is good for you.

A few years from now you will be surprised that you
even took notice of them. Don't waste any more time
on this cult.
All the best!

JWS CELEBRATE 100 YEARS SINCE 1914: HAPPY BIRTHDAY 1914 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
by steve2 inthe us edition of the june kingdom ministry urges the still-active witnesses to get out and preach in august saying that it is fitting because the anniversary of the start of the time of the end will be in that month.
what arch hypocrites!.
they won't allow children to have birthdays but they celebrate a date on a calendar that suits their doctrinal purpose...which is itself virtually the "birthday" of the start of the time of the end - according to their doctrine.. perhaps the "celebrations" will backfire when they try to load 100 candles on the celebratory cake and there will be a huge burnout of faith in this man-made date.. besides, the organization was incorporated in 1876 - decades before 1914.. there may well be moments of unease when the few witnesses with operating brain cells realize the organization has kept them in panic-mode to urgently preach about an end that never comes.

Oh cheese & crackers!!!!!! No wonder they are all nuts!
No wonder the dubs pop pills, drink to oblivion & live double lives.
No matter how fast they work & study....watchtower keeps them
off balance at all times with their confusing, conflicting double-talk!
