Thinking of changing my life/ long rant

by DATA-DOG in

jw
friends

i want to drastically change my life.

i am stagnating and will eventually drive my truck into an oncoming semi truck.

short of faking my death there are only so many things i can do.

I hear ya! My father died and left me a few grand. I ALMOST pioneered it all away and thought....what if the system is 20 years out? Then I sunk all of it into a restaurant that I own and run. It is so fullfilling. If I had agreed to the WT mandate I would be homeless.

I know very few JW window washers and cleaners

by MC RubberMallet in

maybe these occupations are quoted to make a point, but it loses meaning when maybe 1% of brothers i know actually has these as jobs..

Botzwana

I know VERY few apostates who are mentally diseased. If the org can get away and GENERALIZE words about us, then I do not feel at all bad in the slightest about generalizing that the majority are window washers.

it is eight months since i went to a meeting in a kingdom hall.

in that time i've met one or two witnesses, including elders, as i've been out and about in this small town.

some have been pleased to see me, some have avoided me.

Sorry for your friends being Dfed...I wonder if they will catch me one day.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have never seen those parody WT's before. I really needed that humongous laugh!

Did you ever shun people when you were a dub? How did it feel?

by oldlightnewshite in

okay, i don't know lots of people that were df'd, but of all the times i've encountered df people when i was a dub, they actually blanked me!

it was always something that i had fixed in my mind that the jws had dead wrong, even when i was an uber dub.

i remember several times when i used to arrive late at meetings, and i'd make a point of getting eye contact with the poor dub at the back sitting on the naughty step.

Eric Beck in Atlanta was DFed once. Dad and I used to go and pat his back as we were walking by. His mother said years later that that action from us always made his day. He is dead now though.

Jesus' parousia started in 1975, Governing Body selected as Faithful and Discreet Slave and Evil Slave dealt with by 1980, and Armageddon arrives in 2015?

by JWB in

jesus' parousia started in 1975, governing body selected as faithful and discreet slave and evil slave dealt with by 1980, armageddon arrives in 2015?.

it seems to me that some new light needs to be generated if the governing body (gb) of jws is to be considered as the faithful and discreet slave (fds).. .

(a) gb needs to be around as an entity when selected by jesus during his parousia.
