  The New Diary of Winston Smith

  by WinstonSmith in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

  fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

  i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

  Hmmm so the implication is that inactive ones live "unclean lives" and active JWs should not be friends with inactive JWs...

  @Londo - The shunning of inactive ones is already happening- I had a sister call me up a few weeks ago bc her family said they would no longer associate with her bc she hasn't been to KH lately...it's sickening.

  What's the quote from the 2013 YB?

  " More people are dying everyday because of other religions............."

  What does that mean? People dying in other religion's are a good thing? Or that we should be fighting the Islamists?

  And that has exactly what to do with the subject at hand???

  You might as well add something else semi-random like, "Yesterday 12 people died by freezing to death in winter storms."

  That is also tragic, but proves *nothing* re: the fact that a person can't easily and affordably buy Ray's books. That's the title of the thread.

  "Joe Blow has been disfellowshipped." years ago, and changed it to

  "Joe Blow is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses."

  So lucky Mr. Blow could actually walk up and say to a Dubb, "It was never announced that I was DFed, you can still talk to me..."

  I'm trying to figure out what you are saying Blondie. Are you saying we should "cut Cynthia some slack"? She has all the slack I can give her.

  I am not accusing anyone of anything, only trying to understand why this book cannot be sold by someone, anyone, that would get them a fair amount of profit and be reasonably priced so that the folks waking up to TTATT can be SAVED FROM WT ENSLAVEMENT and a sad life of servitude, stress, and door knocking.

  It's that important IMO...It's more important than any one person. People are dying because of this religion...

  New article and video on TTATT

  well i spent a few weeks putting this one together it took sooooo much longer than i thought it would, but as you know, a few of us many of us on jwnet spend way too much time fighting the "watchtower power" hehe.

  here's a couple paragraphs:.

  so i had been thinking about how hard it can be to tell the difference between a high quality product, the "genuine article", and a knockoff or an inferior product recently.

  So I had been thinking about how hard it can be to tell the difference between a high quality product, the "genuine article", and a knockoff or an inferior product recently. Well sometimes the imitator can be so hard to distinguish that even an expert can be fooled at first. To me it's like that when we are in the Jehovah’s Witness structure- we are told what to believe, given a very well-thought out schedule of all the things we should be doing, etc.

  There are two lengthy meetings per week, field service at least once or twice on the weekend, family study night, cleaning of the Kingdom Hall every couple months or even more often, and more. There is the reading of the three monthly issues of the Watchtower and Awake, and now there is the reading of the extra online content at the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, JW.org as well. On a yearly basis there are two assemblies and one District Convention to attend, two visits of the circuit overseer (sometimes three even) and on and on it goes.

  How could we ever stop and really examine our belief system in fine detail to see if it indeed is that genuine article, or a knockoff in disguise?
