a close jw friend of mine, got married this weekend.ever since he and i meet (13 years ago) when we were both 18 we've been close and we've experienced different life experiences together.. our qualities, have complemented each other well over the years..he the voice of responsibility and reservedness, & i the voice of spontaneity and passion.i taught him about life and he taught me about perseverance through trial.. i care about justice, he cares about reputation.he is a better person then i will ever be, but so stricken by society.. i always stuck my neck out for him, but our friendship was the thorn in his reputations side.he was on the path to mts, and i was on the path of frivolity.despite all this.. when the 2 of us were together, free from the scrutiny of the outside world he was himself, and he was a great friend.
though naive about much, he always tried to do what he could to be a friend.. i was there when he and his now wife first started dating.. i envisioned him marrying her, and my wife & i spending many enjoyable times with them as a couple.. shortly after they meet my wife & i learned ttatt.. i explained my findings to him as i did with all my friends and family.
he being a person, whom i perceived to have great deal of biblical knowledge, i expected valiant effort coming from him to "help me" see where i had erred.all i got was a email with 3 irrelevant watchtower articles & some even more irrelevant scriptures.. i would have surely been his best man, but instead another mutual jw friend was asked.i am not da'd or df'd but this is the pseudo non-invitation that he sent :.
Objective ...... even when you see it coming,
the rejection is gut wrenching. So sorry...you
are the better man & deserve better!
Well damn it, we all deserve better than what
these jehovah witness programmed drones
dish out!
So glad we woke-up and have a treasure worth
having ........freedom to think, freedom to speak
and love for our unique & wonderful selves!

greetings cult leaders everywhere!
Thanks for taking a strong stand ObjectiveTruth!
I agree with Flipper!

the good news is:.
- studying the watchtower over breakfast.
- putting on a suit and tie.
Zoos enjoy every second of your freedom!
It takes guts to go against the tide ... wt has
weighted the odds for their side by snatching
our families, holding our own 'children' that we
bore & raised ......for their own controlling
& punishing purposes! Screw watchtower!
Wage war, by first of all, actually enjoying
a normal life!..............

wanted to say hello to you all.
i am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself.
i was raised a witness, never baptized (yay) and am married to a lovely baptized witness of jehovah.. i had been trying to get back into it due to both our families being j dbs but just never could get it into my heart.
Mikeypants..... great to see you on,
there is a lot of advice & help here!

Hope you can sort things out before baby
is born ...you have your work cut out for you!

1. it's not all about me.. each of us has to grow up our own way at our own pace.
when we regain our balance we can be of help to other people.
life doesn't.
Just brilliant! Thanks for caring enough to
post this Terry!

some of you may know my situation.
i'm still going to meetings, but i am a closet apostate and homosexual i. only keep going to meetings to please my family and some friends.
i guess i could tell my mom i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness and stop going to meetings, but i'm too scared to do it.
Trapped ... hi & welcome to this site. There
is a lot of good advice and help here,
but in the end you are the one who will be
living with your decision.
Make it one that you can actually live with.
There is no hurry. You may still need what
your family has to offer you .......... do not
feel that you have to prove anything by leaving.

i was thinking of doing a pop-in visit when they're doing their thing(what ever that might be).
to just see what it is that lures and hooks people, like our son.
i was worried there is some sort of subliminal messages in audio or video that start to brain-wash a person.
Oh so sorry, I neglected to say hello and welcome
to JWN.......hope you let us know what happens.
Many of us have lost children to this cult, so we
understand your concern!

Just be alert to the LOVE bombing that you
will probably receive ....that's how it starts.
The repetative rituals & "lessons" that are
spewed out in the 4 meetings every week is
how they systematically programn your mind.
If you are aware of this ....you should be fine.
Good luck

they say that seinfeld was a tv program about nothing.
in the end, it was all silliness.. this religion is inconsequential in the big scheme of things.
it's stupid.. .
It is exactly that ...all about nothing!
It has gone in every direction including
right back to where they were in the
begining ...and yet, here we are, it has
all failed.
Those who were to live forever ...are all dead!

Jw's limp, day to day on more empty promises.
Promises even more foolish than ever before!
We have the hallowed GB members, denying
that they even are members or rulers of
anything .....

It was....and is ......... a big fat nothing!

and yes, the jws get a door-knocking joke around minute 15, in the pam anderson skit.. it's for tv, so not as edgy as "black white and brown" or his other shows, but for a xmas special, what can you expect?.
ho!
ho!
Love this guy ...thanks for posting this!
