  Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing

  by David_Jay in

  2. experiences

  since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

  i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

  i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

  I feel compelled to say something, we speak out against the WTBTS we say what we have discovered about their doctrines & how they are untruths. As a result millions of rank & file JW's tear down our characters, name calling, saying we lie saying we tell stories & we don't like it.

  If you don't believe what JA has written then all well & good, but is it necessary to be so mean?

  Magnum, you surprise me.

  Oh my goodness I'm so ashamed, that was me, I would never buy anything before the celebrations in case I stumbled some-one. But in my defence I always paid half price LOL so I reckon that I will just keep right on doing it, for that reason alone now though.

  The disappointed look on a Jehovah's Witness face - that you're living a good and fulfilling life

  another thread got me thinking of this issue.

  i don't think you'll ever come across a set of people with such a skewed and twisted outlook on life.. my memory serves me well when i recall a sort of blood lusting excitement over things like the 9/11 atrocities.

  in fact i remember jw's describing the event as 'sad but exciting.

  It's because you cant see outside the box when your in, your basically told what to think. It is true that a lot of young ones when they leave do go abit nuts but I think that's cause they never got to develop their own values, so they lack maturity & have been so supressed aswell as hormones all over the place. As for the religion itself, it is passive-aggressive so what else can we expect. We have all been there looking forward to the end of the system, for most they just want to see the wrongs in the world be put right, they are so focused on all the bad on the outside they neglect to realize that they are supporting one of the cruellest cults in the world today.

  Has anybody seen the movie "The Danish Girl " ?

  i watched it today and i truly enjoyed it .to me it was truly an emotional journey for what this young man went through .. i had tears rolling down my face for half the movie which goes for 2 hours.

  eddie redmayne deserves an oscar for his performance and so does the woman playing his wife alicia vikander , based on a true story.. in my heyday as a witness i probably would have turned it off and banned it from my home .. it`s an amazing journey life takes you after exiting a cult religion .. smiddy.

  We have been watching docos all about LadyBoys in Thailand & I have found it to be fascinating. How can you condem people because they live differently then you, & I think the culture we grow up in does play a great part. When I lived in U.K I didn't take notice of mental illness so much cause I was in an area where it was quite prevalent so it was just normal. When I phone up my friends & tell them that a snake that could kill you came down the drive way they freak out, but to us that is now the norm. I think when you watch things like this you have to try not only to see things through the other persons eyes but to also step into their culture. Get the blinkers off. If I go to Thailand I'm going to go to a ladyboy bar.

  Got any other good movies to recommend?

  No Sports Cars Please!

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.

  the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.

  was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

  It was never policy but I have heard it mentioned from the platform a few times. & yes it certainly does influence people to buy a 4 door car. How do I know, cause I was one of them.

  shunning is bad

  so i had a phone conversation last night, i'm not proud of myself but that is how the cookie crumbles.

  started off all well & good then up came the arc which i was informed was all propaganda & the oct 2012 polices i got from the internet are apostate & not true.

  so i lost the plot, completely lost it, & let out everything i was feeling.

  Xan, that is hilarious, I wonder if your cousin will say something. We went along with it at one time though a. I never had a problem with the big D myself, (yes I have been there) if you are at a job & you keep breaking the rules you get sacked, I knew I shouldn't have sex & I tried but I did & I was relieved when they D me. It's the cruelty that they inflict on ones I don't get, it's like a sadistic enjoyment in making some-one suffer to the fullest extent that is what makes my blood boil. They will take work away from some-one even if the rest of the family is still in WTF is that about. Then they treat the kids of a D person terribly not letting their kids play with them at school & stuff like that. Any little thing that they can do to push the knife in & twist it they go for it. I just wasn't treated or taught that way so I don't get it. Now I thank God I don't.

  Calm down people, everything with my girl will be fine. We are always clashing bout something, we are a loud family. I always told the girls "you think I'm an unreasonable old bag, then say so, to my face don't go off in to your bedroom & say it behind my back." I can deal (not always correctly) with what the little mare throws at me. The point that struck me was that JW had something to say about the fact that feel they are being shunned & they don't like it. What a bloody cheek. Anyway, it just made me think, hence my original comment about never being able to reason with them. They are not shunning, they are loving. WTF!
