desperate or stupid - you decide
by finally awake injust ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.
now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.
so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

They think they can get free labor and count the time they spend with you on their monthly report.

Mourning a child
by dissonance_resolved ini 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.

So sad. Nothing is worse than the death of a sweet little child.

One of the hardest things I must do while in...
by OneDayillBeFree inive 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
by DeWandelaar insince 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 inthe 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.
