What percentage of assmbly experiences are total fabrication?

by NoRegrets in

when i was in 4th grade, i ended up in a situation involving minor school politics.

they had developed a "student council" which did little more than sell pencils at lunch time for fundraisers.

anyway, i was appointed by the teacher and didn't think much of it as an 8-9 year old.

I was on of these members that fabricated stories in order to get on CA podiums.

I once fabricated a story about people in my classes watching porn. I told the CA that I didnt want to watch porn in anyway, that it is immoral and Jehovah hates it. It was an example because I refused the pressuere of my schoolfriends who told me to watch too!

The real truth was that in fact I watched porn every week on my own PC and That I was watching porn with my classmates instead of going away.

I didnt had any regrets about it on the CA, being on the podium got me closer to hot chicks.

What age should you get baptized?

by newcomer1982 in

as from today i am disfellowshipped.

my parents cant talk to me and alot of issues have arisen which i have mentioned in my other posts.

i got baptized at 14 and i think it is way to young to make such a decision which will affect your whole life.

Even at age 99, I wouldnt like to be baptised at all!

Angry mob of Facebook JWs.

by fade_away in

i was looking through my facebook and one of the friends i have on there is very angry at a particular girl who added brothers and sisters from different congregations as friends for the sole purpose of bashing the jws on their profiles.

they use the word "bashing" but who knows really if all she was doing was showing them genuine, unbiased information about the wt.

anyway, i got a kick out of the fact that an "apostate" infiltrated a lot of jw profiles as a "friend" then went all apostate on them!.

Facebook JWs, first they are not listening to the FDS because they are denying and ignoring the council of the Awake. One of the recent ones was about Social Netorking Sites.

I think the girl did a good thing, a nice anger release, although its not effective, the JWs still think they are Gods Chosen people. Crazies.

Abusive Families Drawn Like Moths to a Flame or Does WTS Help Develop Abusive Attitude?

by OnTheWayOut in

so many ex-jw's are stepping forward here and other places and relaying information about their upbringing in the jw's being an abusive one.. we have the two types of abuse- physical and sexual.

i thought i would give a chance to everyone to ponder on what's up with the high levels within watchtower congregations.

i know the subject has been covered before, but some fresh voices and some new readers might want to know that they are not the freak, not the problem in their family, not alone, able to relate to others.. as far as physical abuse goes, i consider the attitude of wts that is passed on- beat the littlest of children in order to keep them quiet during meetings.

My mom is abusive, but only emotionally abusive, she uses scare tactics, emotional pressure and emotional sabotage.

Jehova's witness and the contradictions of modern science question mark!

by libraryofalexandria in

i grew up as a jehova's witness but drew apart in my early teens.

i'm in my late 20's now and i am wondering if any of you more experienced jehova's witnesses or ex-jehova's witnesses can say anything about the organizations belief or where they may contradict in relations to modern astrophysics and/or physics.

is it simply a game where the more science is discovered the more jehova's witness's beliefs bends to fit the mold?

Do you think that Evolution is ''the Truth''?

Somehow I find that to be abit washy washy.

Democrat or Republican? Does it matter?

by Wonderment in

election year is approaching.

are we ready for the political campaigns?

for those who vote, does it really matter whether we vote democrat or republican?.

Medina

The Left - Right wing paradigm is a way to distract the public from real things that matter.

Please vote Ron Paul for a Dutchman.

I Did a Stupid Thing Recently

by 30 years out in

facebook has been a valuable tool for finding old friends and catching up on years lost making a living and pursuing our own visions of happiness.

in one of my less inspired moments i decided to look up an old witness friend and roommate from my days in the church.

he had never impressed me as being particularly strong in the faith so i was truly interested to find out what he had been up to for nearly 30 years and if he was still "in".. i located him through his sister's fb page and sent a message to his account stating who i was and that i would be very interested in hearing from him and catching up.
