The story of Punkofnice. It was the 'Overlapping' that finally got me out!

by punkofnice in

why i am now a faded apostate after the ridiculous overlapping teaching!.

i was raised in the trooooooooooth and both my parents were pioneers.

over the years i pioneered, was an ms and finally an elder.

Nice to hear your feedback folks. Thanks to you all.

Mrs Punk was trying to 'witness' to me the other night by making sneering comments about the 'world' and 'false religion' and she said she can't wait for the big 'A'...SOON!

I said my usual: 'It's subject to 'overlapping'! You might have a long wait!!!'

I also commented that if the big 'A' comes watchtower stylee then god will murder me. Will she walk thru' to paradise saying: 'God killed my husband, children and close famile....yipeeeee!'

Besides getting really aggressive and angry (as usual...I try to stop being a wind up but can't).

She said she'd never heard of the 'overlapping' thing. She also has no idea who the GB are.

I now believe she simply WANTS to be a JW and doesn't care what the core doctrines are.

The hope from false delusion is better than harsh reality.

Best way to step down from being a servant

by RayPublisher in

hey i'm wondering if anyone can give some good advice on how to step down in the safest way.. i have served as an ms for a number of years, but can't do it anymore.

i know too much i want to fade in the future when i get some family things straightened out.

i can't move right now so that's out unfortunately.. what should i tell the body?

punkofnice

I'm a real stiff upper lip stubborn Brit. After I stepped down as an elder to 'concentrate on my family' I just stopped going to meetings cold turkey.

I announced to my family the watchtower was a dangerous cult. My wife and daughter became ultra zealous. We nearly got divorced but things are back on track. I told the elders to stay away from me they have no authority over me and I do not recognize their right to meddle in my life.

No one really knows what to make of me. When I see Dubbies up town or wherever I give a cheery smile and wave. They really look afraid of me.

A bro saw me in a restaurant with my family and came over with a doleful look thinking I must be depressed or stumbled.

He put his hand on me and asked : 'How are you mate?'

Me: 'Abolutely brilliant. I never felt better thanks. Life is really good!'

He looked surprised and inched out of the door! RESULT.

We're not all 'Captain Hurricane' I know.........just sayin' sometimes being up front is better.

A friend once said that those friends who truly love you will stick with you thru' thick'n'thin and those who leave you 'condittionally' are not worth spit in the first place.

I appreciate you may have tender issues though so this approach wouldn't work for you.

Went round and round last night

by sinis in

jw
friends

so, my mother is still in.

last night at my parents home she starts in with me on how she is going to ask my sig other to the memorial (puke), and that i should not forbid her to go.

we went round and round about how the jw's are bs, gave many examples and it always came back to some twisted circular reasoning, that i still do not fully understand.

punkofnice

I'm not alone then!?!

My Mom & Wife are the same. They seem to have a forcefield that keeps logic, reasoning and true meanings out but keep watchtower doctrine and double talk in.

Mrs Punk has no idea what the overlapping is. Now, I know no one does but Mrs Punk says she never even heard of it. She has no idea who the GB are.

Some people prefer the false hope of a derlusion to harsh reality.

I'm sorry for you Sinis......is there a way to open their eyes? Goodness knows. Goodness only bloomin' knows!

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 03-20-11 WT Study (SINGLENESS)

single christians make the most of their singleness?.

of christians, therefore, have come to.

singleness in youth.

punkofnice

Another pathetic advert for doing more to get money and power for the GB or die soon (subject to ''overlapping'')!!

I couldn't stomach reading all of this but.......

Harold 95 and all the other 'named' JW's. Are these those ficional characters they invent from time to time? Any of them single as NPG's? (Non Practicing Gays)

Para 3 was a real 'Do more for the GB!'

Para 7 - How do we know Timothy 'cheerfully' accepted Paul's invitation and did so for 'many years thereafter'?

a jw about a year, still trying to get a handle on things, walk.

the walk and talk the talk.

the wife was moving ahead.

I was an elder and I hated doing these kind of visits. I didn't wear nazi uniform but watchtower brand dress code.

If gambling is wrong then why does the WTB$ have stocks and shares?

See RandCam where they were given shares in this company that develops weapons. Why didn't they refuse? Oh, silly me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4

The Watchtower Brand

by jgnat in

so very often i am reminded how much more the wtbts operates as a corporation than a religion.

every meeting has an agenda, and timelines are adhered to.

publishers and pioneers practice their sales techniques in front of their peers for critique, have assigned routes and reporting routines.

punkofnice

Jehovah = their 'brand name' for god.

It's all about business or as they like to say 'greedy commerce'.

That's why they've gone 'charity' because they won't have to pay Caesar's things to Caesar!

Everything about the JW's is wholly 'business' right down to dress code.......................including no beards and tattoos!!
