Early jws more deserving?
by dsgal in.
here's something i don't get...i was reading in a jw publication(i think it was "proclaimers of god's kingdom"that the early witnesses only had to go in,sit down and listen to a talk.they never even had to raise their hands or utter a word.didn't go door-to door either,and yet most if not all of them claimed to be of the "anointed class".nowadays if you don't comment at every meeting,spend most of your free time in field service and give talks yourself on the tms(which they didn't even have in those days) you are made to feel like your'e not even worthy to live on the earth,let alone heaven.so what's up with that?what did they do to make god love them more?.

I may get a visit from the P.O. :(
by crownboy ini think i may have a potential problem on my hand.
over the last year or so, i've been attempting to go the slow fade route with the jw religion.
for the most part i've succeded, as my significant decrease in jw related activities has been greeted only by brief "pep talks" by my parents at worse.

When I was on my way out, the PO and an elder of my own choosing came to visit me, this after me having been not going to meetings or out in service for what...like over a year? I think my husband thought it was a last ditch effort to straighten me out. When they arrived I said put your bookbags by the door, dont bring your bibles, this is friend to friend now...not some official meeting. And I talked and they listened and then they talked and I listened. They went to the door and while getting their coats on warned me that its "easier than it used to be to be disfellowshipped...and because we are so deep into this system of things...its nigh on impossible to get reinstated in time before armageddon." I said, "thank you for your input, I will take what you said into consideration." And closed the door on them. THEY didnt know what to do with me...so they told people A) I was having postpartem depression or B) I was bipolar or C) I was vitamin B12 deficient and didnt know what I was doing!!! People were like calling me and telling me about their health food stores and where to get supplements or that I should by candles and try aroma therapy! Witnesses are wacked. I saved them all the hassle and just DAd myself the next week. I know you dont want to do that but I couldnt be associated with those weirdos any more.

"Awakening of a JW"
by LovesDubs ini just read diane wilson's book "awakening of a jehovahs witness" and it was a wonderful account of her experiences as a jw.
there are great references in here for their flip flops, their blood issue, the cult mentality (hassan) and how vulnerable certain "types" of people are to the mind manipulating ways of the witchtrowel!
does anybody have an email addy for diane by any chance?

Deleting A Poster Akin To DF'ing?
by Englishman ini recently got an email from mr. moe.
amongst other things, she says that she hated df'ing when she was a dub, so she abhores the banning of certain posters from this site, because it seems so similar to df'ing.. i think her opinion is of great value and warrants looking at closely.
is suspending someone for the contents of their posts justifiable then?

This reminds me of the movie "Groundhog Day".....where everyday is exactly the same as the last one and therefore totally predictable :)
E-man....slide me a yard down, I'm thirsty.

I dont care HOW deep into the "end" we are..the Society has NO BUSINESS having people preaching in that part of the world right now. NO business. They are accountable for this.

I would think that we apostate types would understand that we are labeled such by the DUBS because, per them, we crave total anarchy and want to do what we want to do when we WANT to do it and to HELL with everybody and everything. Rules of etiquette be damned. Well, I would hope that we didnt walk out of the Kingdoom Hall doors and into Caveland and feel that we no longer have to abide by ANYBODY'S rules out here any more because we shucked the demon Borg. We do people. This isnt a free for all and anybody having a pity party because they are being asked to stay within the parameters set by our host, doesnt have to post here. Simple as that. Its Simon's board, and somebody has to have the last word on things. If somebody was threatening me, I'd kick them off too. If somebody was abusing the purpose of this board, and was warned not to and continued to...they have only reaped what they have sown. Opinions are one thing...asking for money and threatening the host are entirely different than free speech, the latter of which I am positive that Simon appreciates the sanctity of, being as he started this place. IMHO
