" Misery loves company" So I think if we had a community of ex-jehovers witness meet up places, that would be great. This should be possible, because in the not so far away distant future, ex-witnesses may well outnumber the members.

What Kind Of Psychological Conseling Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Need When They Find Out It's Not The Truth?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini personally would like to see they get the very best but haven't a clue how to do it what are your benevolent words of wisdom, should a person do a deep research on his own a kind of self medication or should they brush up on some psychology,, who should they trust because after you leave you got big trust issues.. i don't know about you but to me it was a real shocker, i was totally into getting their worthless bull shit out of my head.
i choose the self medicate path and did as must research as time would allow,, science was a biggie for me, it was enjoyable learning to get so much bull shit out of my head..

Not school as I remember it. Headmasters with a cane, and fearful teachers. Our games teacher was an absolute bully, fortunately for me I was good at football.
However my son is getting a fantastic education, and he is treated with respect by the teachers. On Friday the class is spending the night camping.
As for my grandchildren going to school in this system of things. That would be fantastic, and it's a lovely thought " Grandchildren" Now that would be something.

IDEA "new business
by James Mixon inafter seeing tiger woods mug shot the idea hit me, a makeup artist for the famous and rich...i have never seen a mug shot of someone who didn't look like, well you know..weekends you camp out around the police station and charge 20-30 bucks to clean up arrestee(you the makeup artist) before taking their mug shot..i'am sure tiger would have paid big bucks.
i have never taken a mug shot but why don't they offer the folks a mirror......of course you will need to make arrangement with the law but i think it's a good idea to make folks presentable.
i'am sure some folks are declared guilty by just looking at their mug shot..

Who remembers Huge Grants mug shot when he got done for being with a prostitute?
Actually a book of celebrity " mug shots" would likely become a best seller.

When was the first time you said, "thank you for your service" to someone?
by Coded Logic inmine was to some random guy in uniform i saw on the street about two years ago.
even as a jw i knew that we had a lot of freedoms here in the us that were hard earned.
it felt really good to finally be able to say in person to someone when i i did..

In England we have Remembrance Day. This is when citizens of the country have an opportunity to buy a poppy as a symbol of remembrance, to the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
I will buy and wear my poppy with pride on Saturday, 11 November. Another great reason for leaving the Witnesses.

My dads cousin was a spitfire pilot. ( He was killed) my thank you was learning about him in a scrapbook of photos and a story of his life my dad made, and passed down to me. Also on the embankment, ( The river that runs through central London) is a monument and his name is on it.

Spiritual Welfare
by wheelwithinwheel inthis year’s “don’t give up” convention encourages theocratic welfare.
brother pioneer is doing a lot of carting and having trouble making ends meet.
his landlord doesn’t get it and decides to evict him and his wife.. .

Simple answer, if the society wants pioneers provide accommodation.
Because if the society bought houses, and made the " pioneers" pay rent on the " rooms" the society wil be gaining in " equity" and also have tennents, pay of the mortgage. Now that's a smart business plan.
I am starting a religion. It's where the smart money is.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Mind Numbingly Boring To You?
by minimus ini honestly think they are the most boring people on earth!
even when they produce their so called "new light", there's no excitement.
jws just do their thing and refuse to think about their useless lives.

minimus " Are Jehovers Witnesses, mind numbngly boaring to you?"
Oh " SHUT UP" On the ministry, I met many people who were mind numbingly boring. The difference was they never made fools of themselves, knocking on doors. And besides who am I to say what makes a persons life mind numbingly borng? But I will say, my life, is my life, which is why personally, I am equally " glad" I am no longer a witness, as I am "glad" that I will never win the national lottery...because that would be numbingly boring.

What Was/Is The Dumbest JW Belief?
by minimus ini think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!
almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!

O.P " What is the dumbest J.W belief"
The answer is those beliefs never read by current members.
Supposedly all this J.W noncence started with "JESUS" who " WROTE "The finnished mystery" and the founder member of this organisation only translated it.
So its a no-brainer, the " truth" started with a book named the " finished mystery" which was supposedly written by " JESUS" But instead of being mandatory reading a new " fuck.r" named Rutherford" wrote more books of noncence.....and now overv 100 years of "bullshit" and " bullshiters" later, we have " Geoffrey Jackson" to continue the " bullshit".
Sadly millions of people still belief this " bullshit" ...and the irony is we have a thread that could become " minimus" longest ever thread if we make a list of W.T dumbest " bullshit"

Dozy " we had an ELDER confess in our congregation ( or rather his wife got him to confess) that he was masturbating to porn on line) ....the rest of us didn't want to know ( and reminded ourselfs to regularly delete our browsing histories!)
The Rebel :-
A) So you and the other "ELDER'S" were total hypocrites. I don't admire your "Elders" favourtisam to a fellow " Elder" In my opinion being an "Elder" in the J.W organisation does not come with any redeeming qualities, only shame. Now answer me the history of these wonderful " Elders"
a) How many have they (you) disfellowshipped
b) What was the crime?

To clarify your O.P:-
Q) How serious do Elders view sexting?
Well I believe a "GROUP" of elders both " need" and " want" a judicial commitee. So my answer is:-
A) It depends who's sexting?
B) Who are the " Elders" victims that they can have a judicial committee with?
I believe the offense is not so relevant. Because I believe being a full fledged "Elder" they want to sit on a judicial judicial committee. Translation if necessary, siting on a judical committee is part of the ego of being an " Elder"
Ex "Elders" will hit my comments with their " rhythm stick." But I believe this organisation appoints men to "Elders" only if they are company men indoctrinated enough to want to sit on judgement on others.
