after lunch i will be the guy nail gunning the plywood letters to the top part of the stage.

so when i get to the word truth, i am going to mutter "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....etc" the whole time i'm nailing the letters, obviously very quietly to myself.

;-) that way when i am listening to the bs tomorrow, i can smile to myself knowing the letters have been properly christened!

Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...

by RayPublisher in

yet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.

bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.

this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.

Apostate: From 279 Facebook friends to 81 overnight... thanks MOM!

by sosoconfused in

the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".

my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.

don't you just love this international brotherhood.

Something similar happened to me after I faded and quit going to KH. My wife ex-wife started telling her friends about my "apostate thinking" and that was it. De-friended in real life, like wildfire. I got a letter from my former roommate at Bethel telling me to "come back to Jehovah", etc. others heard rumors I had done this that and the other, etc.

will a judicial comittee allow you to face your accusers

by label licker in

jw
friends

we were told today, yes!

our accusers will be there.

is it true?

RayPublisher

Be strong label licker. Record every conversation with the elders if you can, to protect yourself. You can play the game your way- they do not have any real power over you.

the death of a jw and the birth of me the apostate.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2lwgowdpj8.

a huge thanks to my friend ray publisher (jwstruggle) for posting my video for me.

now that i am no longer held prisoner from the fear of watchtower, i can now help others!.

RayPublisher

Bravo Shyla!! I'm so glad I could help put your story online it is very hearfelt and empowering.

One at a time we escape from the "Watchtower Power"!

BTW you can scrub to a particular place in the video (such as the part where the ASL starts) and then copy the url from there. So then when you email or embed a link, the video will start right there.

The true meaning of "Jehovah" and the "overlapping generation" REVEALED!

by slimboyfat in

there has been some renewed interest in the meaning of the name jehovah on the forum in recent weeks.

combined with the ongoing discussion about the new "overlapping generation" teaching, speculation among the friends and among the ex-friends has been reaching something of a frenzy.

so it's perhaps appropriate that a little more should be revealed now about the meaning behind some of the perplexing events that have been taking place.

RayPublisher

Funny as hell Slimboyfat. Hook line and sinker you had me right up to the end.

Interesting from JWTalk. Borg picture being used...

by Newly Enlightened in

i was lurking on jwtalk [gung ho borg forum] and came across a picture of capt.

picard as a borg for a moderator's avatar 'staff'.

does this mean it's a 'in your face' for the apostates?

RayPublisher

I LOVE that place... All Kool-Aid, all the time!
