It's about progress, not perfection...

by scratchme1010 in

i guess at this point in time and space i'm ok if there's an indication of things going in the right direction.. my jw father, who joined the jws in 1973 when i was 8, has always had all the characteristics of the stereotypical brainwashed born again weirdo.

as a jw he always felt the need to show that he was more devoted than the rest of the crop.

to him, life became very easy from that point on: "the bible", interpreted by the millions of wt publications, along with the information in the meetings and getting involved in all jw activities, were the answer to everything and anything in his life".

Congrats.

Played the cards you were dealt your way.

To all the idiots that are bringing their children to complete strangers houses on a regular basis and then complaining about it when they see a penis or breasts....

STOP BRINGING YOUR CHILDREN TO KNOCK ON COMPLETE STRANGERS DOORS!!

There... problem solved

Hey mixon... going door to door is not a good idea.... answering the door naked is just sweet justice.

I can just hear the complaint...

jdub - Yeah... officer this man just exposed himself in front of my kid!!

officer - oh that is horrible... where was the last place you saw this subject?

jdub - oh, I was out in the door to door ministry, sharing the good news of jc and the bible with my neighbors. (mentally counts time w/ officer) when I rang a doorbell and this householder just brazenly opened his door and his entire penacular region was showing!!

officer - wait... so you knocked on HIS door and he was in HIS house naked? have a nice day!

JWs and invasion of privacy

by deanxxx in

pbrow

dean... it is behind you. Dont get involved in it.

When you might be discovered?

by confused3426 in

i am still in my crossroads, and going to some meetings at times.

i have joined facebook ex jw support groups.

on friday one of my friends from my hall, texts me saying he saw a recommendation to join a group, and sees me listed as a member.

pbrow

"i hope it doesn't take 3 years to fade"

It does not take 3 years or even 3 hours. You can walk away right now!

"i dont have to talk to the elders. They are just men, and i don't need to explain myself to no one!!"

You are absolutely right!! Dont allow the elders or ANYONE else to keep you where you do not want to be. The choice is yours. You get to make and own your decisions from now on.

good luck

I need help understanding my moms decision!

by Holzy86 in

first of all i'm not a jahovas witness, my mother is.

i've asked my mother for some help over the weekend for my sons birthday, i understand jw do not celebrate birthdays.. every year i take my son out for a treat day, this year he has asked me if he can bring friends too so i said i only have enough room for one but he has asked for two, so i said i will ask nanny if she will help out to take my other son in her car with my netphew and older sister, but as soon as i mentioned it was for a birthday treat she refused to help me.. i just need to know if jahovahs witnesses will refuse to help family out when asking for help, i feel i've asked and made sure all the people she will be giving a lift to that it is not there birthday.

his birthday has just happened to have fallen on the weekend when we would have been taking him because he is at school monday to friday.

your mother is an irrational fool?

Why is Trump so effective???

by Coded Logic in

i think trump is an absolute idiot.

his tactics, however, are undeniably effective.

thought i'd just put together a short list of some of the things he does.

pbrow

The right appeals to hate and the left appeals to emotion. See, I can do it too.

Just because someone disagrees with a particular stance does not mean they are racist or appealing strictly to emotion.

Every government cut comes at the end of a cost/benefit analysis. You wont like this cut and I wont like that cut. You can not like the decision to build a wall but it is not difficult to argue that it is directly related to border security and immigration which is a primary function of our federal government.

What I don't like about the entire health insurance debate is that its not our federal governments place to mandate that all Americans have health insurance. Now, the argument is going to be about what can our politicians do to "fix" obamacare when it should not be a law in the first place.

Nothing happens in a vacuum. If/when trump fucks up, we as a society will try, try again.

Feeling the Guilt

by Saethydd in

i'm currently disfellowshipped and living at home with my parents, but because they are both still devout jws i have to keep going to the meetings and crap because i don't want to risk getting thrown out until i finish college or find a job that will let me support myself and go to college.. yesterday, my mother rode with me to the meeting and told me how much my best friend and my oldest sister are missing me, and it just tears me apart because during the meeting i was practically counting the minutes till it was over.

it didn't help matters that i had to sit with my family because the library was closed off, thus forcing me to follow along with the meeting on my tablet instead of reading something useful or interesting like i normally do.. when i got home i just cried out in frustration because it feels like no matter what i do, i am making the wrong choice.

either i have to keep pretending to support an organization that has caused so much pain to so many people, or i have to abandon my family and friends to it so i can save myself.

pbrow

Please remember, you are not abandoning your family. It is the other way around. They have trained you well.

I envy you because you have managed to see thru the bs long before I did. Plan your getaway, tomorrow is coming. It will be difficult to leave because starting to be truly self reliant is not easy but it is worth it.

Pope Francis Orders Vatican Archives to Reveal God’s Name Ending Centuries of Secrecy

by pleaseresearch in

it's from 3 weeks ago.

my mum told me about it.

but is this real or fake?

pbrow

While he is at it... why doesnt he release cardinal B. Law to the local authorities in Boston. Then, and only then, can the catholic church begin to heal.
