whoa! that is disgusting!
where the hell did he get the balls to stand up there and preach at a funeral?
last week i told you guys about my father in law who passed away.
he was not a jw.
he merely went to meetings with my brother in law to get out of the house and to go have lunch afterwards.
whoa! that is disgusting!

my family was enmeshed with the wtbts for generations before my birth.
i'm certain it has been asked before but i am curious what brings others into the fold?
what was the attraction?
Birth.
hello friends, rifter here from jwr.. i'm starting a new project using google maps to plot locations, news articles and other sources regarding high-profile crimes committed by jehovah's witnesses, and other related reports.
the project will be ongoing, and much of the data so far is based on articles posted in the in the news section of jwr.
i will soon be adding data from additional sources whenever possible.
They are pretty good at keeping these things hush hush.
I told my mother about what I found out about jay dubs hiding and protecting pedophiles...she was shocked for a moment and then I'm not sure what she did with the knowledge. She may have talked to the elders and they told her it was a bunch of crap spewed forth from apostate lips - I'm sure it went something along those lines....
i see people saying this online.
my parents made us tell people tha we got gifts throughout the year and that we probably got more presents than kids get on birthdays and christmas.
however, it was a complete lie.
In my childhood I can remember receiving 3 special gifts - so if that is supposed to make up for Christmas, birthdays, Easter and all the other days where kids get things...I got screwed, royally.
i have posted about my experience with the cult....so now i find myself in a difficult position.
i have left it alone for many years but i wonder what you guys think.. i faded away from the cult and stopped going for quite a while.
my older sister took it upon herself to meet with my family and discuss all my sins and actions (they were active).
Thanks for all the advice and thoughts all!!
I guess sometimes it really sucks that I always have to be the sensible and bigger person. My older sister has mistreated me in one way or another our whole lives. From little things to huge things and I have always let her have her way. NO one wants to confront her. Even her husband walks around on egg shells in her presence. It gets so old. She has mooched off of me my whole life, she was always jealous that I was prettier and I had more friends. I had a boyfriend first and was supposed to get married first. Until she and her boyfriend (of only a few months) got engaged and then set their wedding date for one month exactly BEFORE mine, on the day that she was supposed to give me my bridal shower. I had to suck it up and be the better person and smile and walk down the aisle in her wedding as a bride's maid.
One time I would like to be the one who doesn't give a f*ck about her and her feelings....she has never given a crap about me or mine. But I digress...those are some of the past hurts that I struggle to get over. She is just selfish, controlling, and very competitive.
And they are totally out of the borg. So it's not like they will be sad and have thoughts of wanting to return and then be angry at me for tattling on them.
And what I meant about his dad being an elder of high importance - EVERYONE knows him (BIL) and his family. His dad is the oldest elder at the KH and he has been an elder for years and years and years. And to have one of his sons DF'ed just wouldn't look so good for him. He knows how they are living....but he chooses to turn a blind eye and deaf ear and just not care. And I call major BULLSH*T on that. But it's just another time where we see how hypocritical all of them are.
The dude with pole in hand just farted or is about to fart - thus the look on his face.
The rest of them are smiling because they just woke up from a long nap (during the talk) and feel refreshed.

She rarely talks to me now that I am happy and have a relationship with God. Sad but true.
Maybe if she has to face what she has done and is doing she will no longer be able to hide in her little corner and pretend that all is well??

There is no heart to heart with my sister....trust me I have tried.
It also bothers me that they still use their witness friends for free baby sitting.
My sister is now pretty much an atheist, but she won't break her bounds to the "truth" because she enjoys what she is able to get from them....

I guess it's not so much what the jay dubs think...it's about not living a lie. Which I have never done, I see no point in it at all. I am open and honest with my family. I guess it annoys me that she was sooooo ready and willing to see me disciplined and suffer when I decided to fade away and do my own thing.
Immediate family treat us no differently - my mom still talks to us all (she is active, my dad not so much). My distant family (aunts, uncles, grandparents have nothing to do with any of us black sheep)
I guess it could be some hurt and betrayal that still irks me and perhaps I want some payback. Hmmm...
well i've just had another visit with a eldurrrr.
i haven't been sleeping well.
i finally get a good sleep going and a couple hours later my stepdad wakes me up to tell me i have a visitor.
They are terrified that more people will start using the brain that God gave them....GOOD FOR YOU!
The only ones that will continue to follow that load of horse crap are the followers, are the ones that won't for a second think "Hmm - something about all this smells of dead fish and lies".
