  So sorry about Blondie's knee. Hope you will be good as new soon as and the pain doesn't prevent her from posting her comments.

  Mourning a child

  i attended a funeral today for a small child, whose death was an unspeakable tragedy.

  it was my first non-jw funeral and indeed the first time i'd ever been in a church.

  i couldn't even comprehend what the parents must be going through.

  One of the hardest things I must do while in...

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  ive had many single sisters (even the hot ones that horny brothers like to circle around during intermissions at assemblies/conventions) come to me recently asking if im single, what my spiritual goals are and how high in the ranks i am.

  i just tell them that im not interested in relationships at the moment and that my focus is on other things.

  they usually get the message and leave me alone.. but i lie.. .

  Yes, you are in a fine mess right now but it will soon be over. You know what you need to do, you have a plan. That's good.

  Feeling numb and alone

  2. experiences

  since some time i post here on this forum... i am always willing to help people or to express my opinion if it helps someone.... i have already posted something about myself but i haven't told much about my history.. i am married with a nice wife and i have three kids (two of my own and a stephdaughter).

  since a year i do not go to meetings and i unofficially stopped with the "truth".

  i had a meeting with some elders expressing my concerns with the teachings and with the slave.

  Loved your video. I am 59 and just got out 2 1/2 years ago. I spent the first 57 years of my life serving this publishing house. Glad you got out while you are still young enough to enjoy what you have left and are no longer a slave to the organisation.

  Breastfeeding in Bathrooms...

  by cognac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the natick, ma assemble hall used to have it's own room for breastfeeding mothers.

  they changed this room to the accounting room or something like that and now have seats available for breastfeeding inside the bathroom.. there is one other small room available for breastfeeding but they close that off when the baptism is going on.

  needless to say, i used to get so pissed off that they actually wanted me to breastfeed in the bathroom that i would threaten to a brother that i would take my boob out in front of everybody and that is there problem because breastfeeding in a bathroom is unsanitary.. one year they put me in some backroom.

  I had to breastfeed my daughter in a tiny 2 stall bathroom while sitting on top the vanity. When another mother came in to change her baby, I would have to get up and stand to nurse my child in order to let her use the counter to change her baby's diapers. Sometimes there would be two of us sitting on the vanity breastfeeding at the same time. People would come in and take a dump and it smelled horrible. Toilets flushing constantly. Some of the more modest sisters would actually go into the stall and sit on the toilet and nurse their babies, making people wait to go to the bathroom. How undignified that situation was.

  as i continue to post these letters just to let people see what they can expect through a fade, i hope they are not annoying anyone.. if so please let me know and i will no longer post them.

  I would let them stay home and play instead of going to meetings. Just be honest with them and tell them it's a high control group and they don't have to believe it and that you know it's not true.

  More evidence of fraud in 2nd Peter: Noah didn't preach, per Genesis 6

  by adamah in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thanks for reading the 3-part series on the contradictory characterization of lot in genesis vs 2nd peter, analyzing genesis 19 and comparing it to 2nd peter 2. in the articles, i took a step-by-step approach to show how 2nd peter's declaring lot as "righteous" was exactly the opposite goal of the author of genesis, since the point of the story is how unrighteous lot was saved not due to his righteousness, but on behalf of his righteous uncle abraham (the star of the torah).. of course, the book of 2nd peter is widely acknowledged by nt scholars to be a fraudulent work, written under a pseudonymous (fake) name in order to 'patch up' some loose ends in the torah, likely to support then-blossoming doctines of christianity.

  of particular interest to ex-jws is that one intent was to support the duty to warn others of the coming end of days, including the jw's beloved scripture, matt 28:19, that justifies their preaching work: "go thereforth and make disciples...." the only support for the claim that noah preached before the flood is found in 2nd peter, so it's a dubious claim.. in the latest article, i examine the flood account in genesis 6, showing how god had already condemned mankind even before he offered the covenant agreement to noah, so there's absolutely no reason for noah to be a "preacher of righteousness", as 2nd peter claims, since god's judgment had already been passed, and death sentence had been handed down.. .
