my brother called to chat, which is shocking from the man of few words, off the cuff i let him know last weekend i learned that the outrageous socks he wears are inappropriate.
i let him know i would no longer be associating with him and the fact that he has been inactive for the past 10 years he has blood on his hands and i didnt want that dripping all over my freshly cleaned floors.
i also told him the internet was no longer naughty, but the fact that he wasn't an ms ever, showed his lack of spiritual maturity.

im new here, and dont know much about jw, other than what im reading.
i have my best friend who is having bible study in her home with 2 witnesses, and she is soaking it in.
she is very defensive and is getting more and more closed off.
Welcome to jwn tiredroadie, nice to have you
here!
Do not attack head on, even if you are positive
that you are right!
*
The very first thing jw's do, is warn the 'potential victim'.
They slyly warn that friends & family will argue & say
NOT to study with jehovah's witnesses!
Then, the jw's tell you not to listen to your family,because
Satan is just using your loved ones to try to make you stop
studying, and then of course when this does happen...
BINGO ....... see the jw's are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg ...this works very often. It worked with me,
all those years ago ........I actually was convinced by
those 'so nice' ladies that satan wanted me to miss out
on gods paradise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the best

for a religious group that has become more and more reader's digest vapid across recent decades, whose ability to defend its doctrines and policies depends on punishing independent thinking and whose meetings are sleep inducing snooze-fests, a talk about sexy clothes is about as desperately arousing as it can get without unzipping one's pants.. but among those who know the religious organization behind tony morris's attention-grabbing address to the faithful, this is anything but surprising.
when you've harped on for long, unforgiving decades about the nearness of the end, whilst simultaneously shoring up treasures on earth - some ear-marked for completion in 2017 - expect even your more loyal followers to shuffle their tired, bedraggled feet and barely stifle forceful yawns.
hell, they may even contemplate tighter fitting clothes because all else is miserably bland - except for the razzle-dazzle of an alluring, colorful world intent on arousing you out of your sad slumber.. so these self-appointed emperors or governing body member focus on anything that threatens a straying spirit.
These poops popes will never look at themselves!
Aintenoughwhiskey and Apostrate ...perfect names
for an ex btw ..ha hah, welcome to jwn.
Love having you here and we look forward to hearing
more from you both!

You would enjoy watching kim mikey - utube
they really expose wt and have a lot of laughs
give it a try!
Hello there Smart........and you are indeed smart to
catch on to the BS so early!
I wasted many years of my life slaving for this
evil cult!

Slow down a bit and get your mind clear ... and plan
your next steps.
If you think all those jw's in your congregation are
your friends ....... hold onto your hat ....they are not!
When coming into the watchtower religion, we are
commanded to 'love' one another ............and
when it is suspected that you are 'weak' or have your
name announced from the platform ....in a blink of an
eye you will be 'hated' ........that too is commanded!
Those who were your 'closest friends' will not even
look at you!
*
So plan accordingly. Research the history. Research
the Governing Body!!!! There is plenty of information
& fact right here on jwn. Look at jwstruggle, jwfacts
lots to dig into.

As far as the daughter of the elder ...tread carefully,
she is probably more conflicted than what you are
feeling right now!
I wish you all the best young man, enjoy the life
that your parents gave you ......right NOW. Don't
slave for watchtower so you can have their "paradise"
WTBS is nothing but a business ...looking for money
& power!

ok so i know its not really anything to do with jwness but we are struggling with baby names and really can't think of one we both like.
its getting a bit desperate as i'm due in about 8 weeks .. i'm getting bored of looking at the same old names on the baby names websites so any suggestions would be much appreciated (girls please).. **cash prize for the one we choose!
** ....... no not really lol.. .
uummm........Brooklyn.....
i'm sorry i don't remember her name but in the story her father promises god the first from his house would be sacraficed.
as many know here she was indeed killed and not just given over to temple service.
proving this to a jw would be hard, but i'm wondering was there ever a mention of woman being used at the temple other then when the temple was also a place for asherah worship?
Interesting story alright.....I don't put too much
faith in the truth of the bible but it looks to me
that she was killed

DaleRivers nice to see you here ...sorry if you
wrote an intro I must have missed it.

we're 2 years in to our exit from the witnesses.
we're not disfellowshipped or disassociated ... just inactive.
none of our friends speak to us anymore.
Hello Whatnow .....don't let their ignorance
get you down! I just call attention to their
behavior by acting surprised or just laughing
at them ....I don't acknowledge ANY control
over me! Hang in there dear....we are pulling
for you!

Belizeme hi........a big welcome to you!
Congratulations for getting out of cult!
Be glad you are excited and feeing all
those emotions that got so tied-up inside.
Great to have you here.

i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
I was so impressed when I started 'studying'
all those years ago.........I learned that the jw's
were not superstitious..."truth will set you free"
they said!... hahahahahhahahahahhahahahha!
Then they tell you that demons lurk in old clothes,
and old furniture and old houses...........omg!
Never met a more crazy people!

Not too long ago an elder shook his finger at me
with a quiverry loud voice croaked "you will have
a horrible life!!!!!!!" ......more stupourstition !
No bloody wonder this borg is full of very
disturbed people. How could jw's not be afraid,
stumbling around believing such detrimental
garbage! And no, something terrible did happen,
it took me sooo long to get out!
