  i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .

  Creative Revenge

  i love this topic.... stole it from a female talk radio host dr. sonia freeman in the chicago area decades ago.

  think and post a creative (not damaging, violent, or illegal) action that would piss off those who shun us.

  here is an example: many years ago when my hubby was still an elder he collected the mail for the kh.

  At the last few assemblies before I got out I used to tell wifey I was going to "contribute 20" and then go over and put in two dimes. This way she knew we had ponied up the $$$ or else she would have done it lol!

  I asked an elder today...from the horse's mouth!

  today's watchtower made out that the combining of branch offices around the world is a loving provision from jehovah to streamline the production, but i had to ask an elder afterwards, even though i already knew the answer.... "if the wts is selling off bethels and brooklyn property and cutting the publishing costs and commitments, then where is all that money going?".

  elder replies, "well the donations are just not coming in anymore and so they have to sell off property to stay afloat.".

  gee, i thought if this was jehovah's approved organisation carrying vital truth to the world, then he'd be making sure the donations would be sufficient.

  My comment would be that this elder has zero inside information and simply made an off-the-cuff remark as to his theory on it. I've heard that comment before, years and years ago.

  When pressed, every faithful JW ON THE PLANET is going to fall back on the party line. But casual stray comments like this one roll off people's tongues when their guard is down IMO.

  hey i have come to love some of the discussions on here and the information.

  i am currently awake and have no plans to fade, in my case i am patient enough to in time become an elder to at least help the younger friends here in my area, in the sense of helping them wake up/if elder have their back..

  Patient Dude - Welcome to JWnet!

  If you can stay inside the Org while knowing all the sick stuff and lies they do and become an elder then you have a stronger stomach than many of us. Like lots here, I did the elder thing for awhile but finally got out.

  Good luck!

  Great stuff- there are so many like her that need articles/blogs. There are literally millions of ex-JWs that have compelling stories.

  What if you simply IGNORED being disfellowshipped and continued as before?

  by Terry in

  i know this is an odd idea.

  maybe it is even silly.. but, i do daydream..... .

  what if you were informed that you are disfellowshipped and you flashed a huge smile and said, "nah.".

  Brilliant thought Terry- Thank you. I have actually toyed with this idea since they announced "I am no longer a JW" a five months ago. Technically they never disfellowshiped me...they never use that term anymore in their announcements right?

  What if a JW said to me, "You are DFed!" and then I replied and said,

  "That was never announced from the platform. I don't know who told you that they said that but it hurts me deeply."
