  It's just dawned on me...

  by Billygoat in

  ...that jw's have a hard time forgiving others because they themselves are rarely forgiven for their own sins.

  according to their beliefs jehovah keeps track of every detail of your life...good and bad.

  that even if you are humble and repent of your sins, that there is still no true forgiveness until the new system.

  There is something special working in andi. When I first came here, recently, I wrote a post that was sort of downhearted. Andi e-mailed me and picked me right up. This from a young lady that has her fair share of troubles. Nice to see there are some nice people here. I was ready to give this place up until she wrote me.

  hillary,.

  you said: "well, you have to admit it most da letters are boring".

  i know your post was a spoof but i just wanted to say that many of us who chose da did so over life and death matters; what we thought was life with god or death with the slime that led the watchtower!!.

  IW I'm sorry that your association with the borg has left you so upset. I know I've felt that way for too long. For me I enjoy a good laugh at my stage. While indeed it is a serious matter and for some the difference between having family or not. But many people even find a way to laugh at death. I enjoyed the post.

  Creative Disassociation

  well, you have to admit it most da letters are boring.

  especially so are the ones that contain 15-20 pages full of quotes from the golden age of march 15th 1917, or an obscure reference to a slip of the pen made by some overworked and knackered out member of writing.. lets be honest, most xjw's do not read past the first few paragraphs, but we all expect our letters will be read by the wts or its representatives, analysed and then responded to.

  the reality is that they are rapidly scanned for 'juicy bits' and dumped into a bin marked, 'oh, god not another one!..

  Now that is hysterical. Should the time come for me to send off such a letter I'm going to copy that one. I love it.

  Building Kindom Halls & Picking Up Chicks..

  by Valis in

  2. experiences

  i always got stuck going w/my dad to jw building events and for a while i thought it was a drag to have to work all weekend for free, until i started to realize there were lots of chicks running around that i could have fun with.

  that and assemblies.

  i can probably attribute that newfound fascination with jw girls from different cities as one of the biggest contributions to my eventual liberation.

  i went to my very first christmas party since i got stupid and got baptised a few years ago.

  i wasn't sure what to expect, after all these pagans are capable of anything, right?

  sooo i put on clean underware, just in case nudity or sex was involved.

  Irlam KH magazine article Df'ing

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an article about a sister in our local local kh was in a womens magazine today.

  the local kh was the topic of conversation at angharad & dylan's playgroup with the verdict that the jws are "disgusting how they treat people".

  apparently, they were also quite vocal about how the articles about the wtc were trying to cash in on the suffering and they were not impressed (a wise & discerning group those mums!)..

  Well how many times have we heard a story like this. A couple of young sisters I know did exactly what she did, then married the guy and got reinstanted quickly. One of them just as quickly went inactive but now she can have relationships with people who wanted nothing to do with her. I wonder why that was important?

  While I was already married and too old to go trolling for girls as assemblies I got a kick out of what was going on there. There were always little groups of girls or boys, each going in the opposite direction around the corridor surrounding the assembly hall. Checking each other out, thinking it was cool and best of all, missing all that spiritual food that was being served out front.

  FELLOWSHIP

  by ricoananas in

  2. friends

  i've been reading lots of messages in just a few days of logging on to this site and have to say that in the beginning it was bothering me to still be doing the jw thing.

  i dropped out after 25 years, the last 14 as an elder.

  now, however, i'm beginning to realize that the posts have been giving me a feeling of fellowship with many people who have gone/are going through experiences similar to mine, a kind of fellowship that i rarely if ever felt being among other jw's.

  Rico I always hated that "brothers" handle too. It just seemed so phoney to me. I mean my "brothers and sisters" never had any problems backbiting each other. Then again maybe it was appropriate?
