just wondering if they still go door-to-door?
i never see groups of people walking around the neighborhoods all dressed up or out in fastfood restaurants on saturday mornings or groups of people driving around in cars.
.
My feeling is that, it is pretty rare to see them walking
around the neighborhood knocking on doors!
They stand on the sidewalks now, with a stand or
sort of like a rolling book shelf now. They talk mostly
to each other......as they stand back from this contraption!
Oh ...and you have be "special" to do this hard work, and
be picked and sent out. Mostly "pioneers" are the special
ones!
a loud get well grace from all of us to you.
everyone, grace has been in and out of the hospital and i'm sure she would love to read your get wells.
we miss you grace:) wish i could post pictures.
first article to appear in the newspaper on sept. 5, 2012:.

Omg .....imagine being her "householder" or in a
car group with this piece of work!
Those dead eyes say it all!
As with bros who rape their children, how in heck
do those poor children make any sense of the evil
at home & the hypocrit at the hall!!!!!!
sheesh
hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.
like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.
having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.
Hello there Diggy .......you are just amazing,
congrats on getting clean & sober ...that takes
a lot of dedication to WHO you really are!
Your idea to get a higher education is brilliant!
So encouraging!

this might be my last post.
i've had quite a few things on my mind over the past few years, mainly my belief in god.
i've tried to move on from the jw past but that's really being foolish.
What.......
One of the problems is that when we make a new
friend, we relax and just want to let out all our pain
& frustration of our past. Mistake #1.......
*
All this pain & frustration needs to be told to someone
who understands what the hell you are talking about!!!
.........and that is definately NOT a new freind!
*
Do not 'paint yourself with that jehova witless brush'!!
Normal people are leary of religious nuts! We were RN's.
*
Relax and enjoy being with the "worldlies" and do not feel
obligated to 'spill the beans' all over yourself. Stay quietly
listening to the conversation & just ask a lot of questions,
people love to tell you all about their lives etc.... Got it?

in numbers 31 we read the following:.
jehovah then told moses:2 take vengeance for the israelites on the midianites.
afterward you will be gathered to your people.3 so moses spoke to the people, saying: equip men from among you for battle against midian and to execute jehovahs vengeance on midian.4 you should send 1,000 of each tribe of all the tribes of israel into the army............ 7 they waged war against midian, just as jehovah had commanded moses, and they killed every male.8 along with the others slain, they killed the kings of midian, namely, evi, rekem, zur, hur, and reba, the five kings of midian.
Isn't that the most disgusting evil command!
As an active jw, I had never read all those
horrible words!
I wonder why we never discussed this at the mtgs???
Yeah right. I still have 2 bibles at home....but not for
much longer!
we all know that beth hell monitors this site.. they have repeatedly had sites shut down for quoting large portions of their litterature.
not this one.. do you think this board enables them to keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on in ex and aposto land?

Sorry away from my computer............
in a letter in the 2013 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body sign off with the words, "we love you all very much".
these words were later echoed by one of the governing body in an address to french jehovah's witnesses in july this year.
these words sound so marvellously compelling and heartfelt - goosebump inducing, even.. imagine the governing body wrote these words to you or expressed them to you in person- yes to you reading these very words.
Hypocrites! Imposter! Swindler!

i wonder if anyone else has had this experience or know of others who have.
when i was disfellowshipped, i approached another disfellowshipped person after the memorial celebration and asked him over for some refreshments and conversation.
he turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!
Seen all this sort of BS! I am not df'd myself but
got told off by a df sister for smiling & quietly
saying hi to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*
I have also seen how "worldly" friends & family will
also disappear into the woodwork when an older jw
leaves wt or gets df'd because............. they know
wt will abandon that person .......and they don't want
to 'get stuck' with helping them .......so the exjw is
doubley screwed over & totally alone!
*
Is it any wonder that people just close their mouth
and just go along with all the crap!
