i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.
could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?
perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.
Personally, I've never experienced loneliness. I enjoy solitude way too much (probably even border on misanthropy, but I try to curb that).
Actually, I felt more isolated, exposed, ashamed, vulnerable and on the verge of losing my mind when I was still an active dub. To be surrounded by nosey, closed-minded, overall dumb, uneducated, fake, insincere, dick-waving, hypocritical, back-stabbing religitard assholes with their conditional love was far more torturous than ever being off on my own.
here's mine: i'm 14 years old, just baptised and a old boy married elder of about 60 odd comes up to me and says " ooooooooooh!
"purrpurr"!
your getting such a lovely figure on you!
I knew a guy just like that, Divergent! He always had stories or illustrations that included naked or topless women--even if they weren't essential elements to the plot. lol
my creepy story: I was mid-20s, MS, pioneer goody 2-shoes. My mom--not bad looking. She had a part on the circuit assembly. When it was over & everyone was visiting & making plans, this really creepy guy in his mid-30s approached me. I'd known this guy most of my life, but he wigged everyone out with his strange, dark behavior. He walked right up to me and said, "wow. your mom looks good! if your dad ever dies, i will ask her out."
jw memorial attendance last year - 2014 - was about 50,000 shy of 20 million.
some posters on this forum had confidently predicted before the 2014 memorial that attendance would hit more than 20 milion.
they were wrong.. now, in 2015, and the memorial falling on a weekend night (where attendance is historically much higher), attendance has not only failed to top 20 milion but has declined by more than 87,000 in attendance over 2014:.
How many nutters partook of the emblems?
(I hate that culty buzzword, btw. "partook." Fuck off with you)

massive leak in uk.. if true, this is big (and very, very disturbing)..
Wow, so according to Mephis, this is nothing new.
i still find it disturbing that molestation is specifically mentioned in 3 knows letters. In 1998, they saw the importance of keeping those records while all others were destroyed. But in 2001 & this latest one from 2015 wants the mole station records destroyed.
the fact there's a clear change in their procedure in regard to this issue is telling.

So is this just an alarmist reaction to a policy letter that likely gets sent periodically? Or is all the excitement on YouTube & the reddit thread warranted?
Im waiting to see an elder or ex elder show up and shed a little light on this before I have any reaction to it.

So you've seen something like this before?
I'm still kinda skeptical, like, what if it's fake? It's almost too incriminating IMHO.
and it's only in the UK, right before this big charity investigation.

but as i move into my early 50's i find i'm more and more comfortable in my thick, leathery hide.. please get it into your thick skull's that i don't insult or make snarky comments with the intent of hurting anyone's feelings.
that being said, if your precious feelings are hurt it's probably your fault for being a prissy, over sensitive drama queen who can't defend his argument.. i do actually love you all, it's just that most of the time you spineless pussies really get on my nerves!.
good god i feel better for that!
why does everyone just turn a blind eye to the false teachings of the watchtower?
the bible warns us many times and in many ways not to follow false prophets - including the lake of fire.
fundamentally why do the followers of the watchtower just ignore the very bible they claim to live by?.
JWs are stuck in under duress.
now, back to watching grown-ass adults debate, "which is better; DC or Marvel?"
oops--wait, my bad. They're all debating SOMETHING make believe anyway.
(i find it hilarious how kaik won't put the "o" in "god." LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I'm calling that out as the dumbest thing I've seen all weekend. Watch: God. God god god. GOD! Oh no, is he gonna smite me now? Lol!!!!!!... that's so stupid!)
do you share values with the murderers in paris?.
a shocking question!.
is such a thing possible?.
I do. I share their values in the sense that I want them to suffer the same fate. I want ISIS members to suffer & die painfully for what they've done.
I enjoy watching videos of IS getting blown to bits. It makes me happy. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Vengeance doesn't belong to god, it belongs to anyone who wants it. After Paris last night, I want it.
death to ISIS, death to islam and death to religion
