  So..... are you apostates enjoying your mansions and private jets?

  a super-zealous elder once told me in a very grave tone, "you know, mr. falcon, when someone becomes an apostate and leaves god's organization, they usually do very well physically and materially.

  " hence the reason he claims that they feel "vindicated".

  now i do also remember hearing such statements in the past from other witnesses.

  Let's see if I can get everyone......

  Massey - not to mention that your gas mileage will decrease from not having to drive 40 mentally-disturbed and cranky pioneers around.

  Reality79 - That's what I thought, but apparently there is a consensus that your wicked father the Devil blesses you evil apostates with rich material blessings for leaving God's organization.

  Unshackled - you looking for a bass player?

  Honesty - now THAT would be Paradise TM for me!

  wobble - Then you are rich in life, my friend. You can't put a price on freedom. History has proved that time and again.

  Terra - I believe that was the original apostate sign-on bonus. A baby and a crib made of money.

  Robert7 - Good point. They "can't see the forest full of trees" so they must rationalize in their own brainwashed terms why you left.

  sooner7nc - Damn that sucks. Perhaps you should rejoin the JW and then leave again. 2nd time is the charm.

  chickpea - Well said. How much would you pay for a soft pillow at night, free from coganative dissonance?

  av8orntexas - C'mon, be honest. You don't miss waking people up to give them magazines at all?

  badseed - Sometimes I wish the rapture were true and God would just take people like the JWs. I know so many rich-ass JW who literally live on estates and when they vacant, you better believe you and me gonna be drinking on their built-in, custom-designed patio bar.

  darth frosty - hahahahaha yup, rich ass J-dubbs are the worst.

  moshe - if that's your life now, where the fack is my invite???

  Satanus - Do you offer adequate docking for my fleet of yachts?

  LL - nah, I think you chose wisely.

  ziddina - Yes! Well put! It's a valuable thing to be able to actually take the blinders off as far as thinking and even be able to laugh at things that are genuinely funny. Witnesses really have no sense of humor.

  Why do they still say "rap" like it's the 1980s or something.

  Great point, Reality79. They say the word like it's this hateful term that can only be pronounced properly while gritting your teeth together. Typical groupthink stereotypical views. Principally, it's the same kind of thinking that caused many white races to view blacks as "inferior animals" or Jews as "undesirables". They need to just shut the hell up. Seriously, if you look at rap music's roots (Gil Scott-Heron, hell, even as recent as Tupac for example) the message wouldn't mean anything to an old white guy on the Governing Body. But if you were a black man living in Chicago during race riots or facing other discrimination, you may feel differently about the music's message. I'm not black, so I can't truly understand what it means to be black, but at least I can respect the message and roots of it.

  Nomad, I need enough so I can start my own religion. I figured I should start by studying pyramids. Seemed to work the last time around....

  In fairness, I do know that the religion has been instrumental in helping people get off the booze and drugs and live a better life.

  That's a good point, Mary. I'm glad you mention it so people don't think that everything on this board is just anti-JW. But really there are plenty of religious organizations that have helped people with all manner of addictions. And honestly, I would say that if you actually tallied up every addict who was helped by religion, the WTBS would probably rank very low, yes?

  I'm in the same trench as you, homey. Believe that. Hope this cheers you up, Sab.

  undercover - Are you driving car-boat in that picture? BADASS.

  unshackled - I'm happy(jealous) for you. But really, even if you're not materially wealthy, what kind of price can you put on not having to knock on people's doors or go to an assembly?

  Dread - I personally hate the word "apostate". Maybe some here are proud of it and that's fine. If they went through hell to get where they are at an now embrace that term, well, they earned it and I respect that. Being that I'm still stuck in, I guess I just hate the term since JWs say it so venomously. I prefer "independant thinker".

  watersprout - So you're not Boardwalk? You're actually Baltic Avenue? This means that what the elder said is incorrect......?

  LongHair Gal - That's a very interesting point. JWs give talks that are literally entitled, "Material Prosperity isn't Evidence of God's Blessing" yet turn around and publish "experiences" of people quitting their jobs to go to the assembly and then miracously getting offered a better job with MORE pay.

  Jehovah's witness meetings are NOT BORING......

  ...i was told but they usually were as i look back.. as a lad i'd sit and look to see who the lights would fall on.

  i'd get an almond and see how long i could suck it before i chewed at it.

  i'd imagine playing rock'n'roll on the congregation's piano.. how did you get through the meetings when you were bored?.

  Hey punkofnice, I saw this post days ago and couldn't quite answer it at that time. But I've been thinking about this and I have realized (at least at my congregation) that one of the reasons why the meetings are so incredibly boring is that it's just sales pitch classes. "How to get them locked into a Bible Study 101". They don't even really teach doctrine anymore. Not that doctrine is interesting either, but if you're like me or a lot of other people on this board, you find the stupid gimmicky sales pitches to be irritating and insulting. And having to sit thru 2 hours a meeting of that rubbish is enough to make you envy the dead.

  The people who actually are delusional enought to "enjoy" the meetings are poor souls who are so brainwashed that they actually think that they are doing a "life saving work". So like the braindead zombies who play audience members on infomercials, these simpletons "eagerly await with keen anticipation" every stupid poorly-written talk.

  While I don't particularly enjoy ALL music genre's, BUT music still is art. Literature is art. And when you banish art, well....
