Holidays

by celebrate in

jw
friends

having grown up in a jw household, celebrating holidays was always a problem.

my mother is catholic, so we tried to celebrate, but somehow the jws always had something bad to say, or they went to another part of the house.

a christmas tree was a symbol of satan.

I get so tired of hearing the JWs WHINE about "commercialism" at the holidays. What is the PAT JW response to gift giving?? "We give gifts to our children ALL YEAR ROUND." Hellloooo NOW who's materialistic?? Like saying that blood will cause AIDS, they aim away from the "Bible principles" which they claim are the reason they dont do things and start to use WORLDLY excuses because the BIBLE excuses dont cut it. Most EXJWs I know were MISERABLE as JWs having to miss holidays when all their friends and nonJW family were celebrating and partying and getting together and having a WONDERFUL TIME. The JWs HATE IT when others have fun. They constantly put down others who do and the Society writes article after article about parties, get togethers and now even WEDDINGS being "too much fun" and even THOSE scarcely allowed activities have their big freaking THUMB on em. I LOVE Xmas decorations. I LOVE watching my kids open gifts (which on my budget include mostly dollar store stuff and sales items, etc) And I mostly love being able to DO WHATEVERTHEHELL I WANT TO without some Smelder sticking his nose up at me.

I know....all you JWs get on your winter duds and go KNOCK ON DOORS on Xmas morning and BOTHER all those merry makers. Yeah THAT will make you feel SOOOO much better about the dreary, dark, boring, lonely place you are stuck in. GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE sayeth the LORD

I have read before that the Watch Tower Society will NOT reply to a letter that doesnt include a full name and address on it. So if you are expecting a reply and dont provide that...dont wait by the box.

UN vs WT -It doesn't matter

by Dan B in

jw
friends

does anybody honestly think that all this exposure about the wtb&ts and the un really going to matter much in the jw community?

sure, it matters to us, since we already know the truth about the wt.

but it won't even make a dent in the jw population.

LovesDubs

My first really BIG "omygod" moment was when I read about the change in the Generation. I mean HUGE. I didnt actually DA until Jan 97 however. So when things like this UN thing come up and to the attention of the R&F the ripple wont necessarily be felt right away. Also, people are not DAing themselves as readily any more. They are walking away, ceasing to go to meetings, melting into obscurity. We may never hear about them, and the Jw "counting methods" might be way over what the actual number of Dubs is. People stay often because of their families being held spiritual captives by the Borg and are mentally gone. This pile of major FAUX PAS the WTS is committing and has committed will affect their numbers and numbers and MONEY are all that matter to these people in the tower. Individuals dont exist, congregations dont exist...its all about THEM and the preservation of THEM. They dont give a hang if you stay or go. You are expendable.

When I saw that first LIE in front of my face...and yes they downplayed that TOO as of no consequence...it may me say "Ok..so what ELSE have they been lying to me about?" and I went and I LOOKED.

Death of a JW (My weekend experience)

chester never was jw.

my mother still has not become a jw.

father re-marries within 2 years, starts new family.

God girl...do the JWs produce and MAINTAIN dysfunction or WHAT?? There is a pat, standard, cut and paste, cookie cutter, outline that brothers are required to use for funerals these days. They can interject the deceased's name into it to "personalize" it...but it is nothing but a 40 minute infomercial about the BLESSINGS of becoming a JW. Last one I went to, I about puked from the hypocrisy of it all. How LOVING only JWs are and how ONLY JWs are "qualified" to even TALK about God to anybody else...after which the JWs all stood up in the middle of the funeral home and walked OUT en masse because the EXJW widow wanted to say thankyou for coming. Asswipes..I will never ever forgive nor forget that.

A New Breed Of JW Emerging?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

is there a new breed of jw emerging, i wonder?.

i know that there are lots of real brainwashed dubs around who see demons behind every car boot sale item and who scuttle off to the elders with every bit of tittle-tattle imaginable, but, i think that there is a new type of dub who quietly does just as he / she pleases.. this is what i think: many of the long-serving jw's who have seen the 1975 failure and the 1914 generation change are now approaching old age with something of a jaundiced eye, and are choosing to do their own thing in their remaining years.

in conversations i am picking up it seems that the elders are being regarded somewhat derisively by many jw's.

Favorite Activity Since Leaving The Borg

by tyydyy in

jw
friends

just about everyone i have talked to has started doing some different activities since leaving the borg.

just out of curiousity what would be your favorite activity?.

mine is flag football.

LovesDubs

Mommy I agree on the thought about watching your kids bloom. I went to a football game once with my nonjw sister to watch her allstar son play in his final highschool football games. She said something to the affect that she couldnt wait for my son to play too. I said "Oh no...my son wont play in school athletics...the association is bad."

She shot around in her seat and said.."Are you saying MY SON is not good association for YOUR KIDS?" And the absolute horror on her face sent me reeling! I eventually did DA but those words hung with me for a long long time. I watch him now in baseball, basketball and going to the skating rink at 13 and coming home with new phone numbers every week of chicks he picked up...and the phone ringing off the hook with those girls and his pack of friends calling...and I love it. :) My little girl is becoming a popular beauty too, on the school newspaper, in Peer Mediation and getting top grades. My little guy is in Coach Pitch and wears that uniform like he was Sammy Sosa out there. We do the holidays together and birthdays now...and its like watching them come back from a life threatening illness to glowing health. We have to do all this without my husband tho ...who hypocritically clings to his choice of religion only where holidays and such are concerned, yet goes to no meetings. But I think secretly he is happy that I am doing all that for them.

I love having NOTHING TO DO but what I WANT to do on Tues and Thursdays and Weds and Sat mornings and SUNDAYS. nyah nyah nyah nyah nyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Fred consorts with, talks with, hangs with, argues with and just generally chooses to hang with apostates and "opposers"...so when Jehovah cleans house, guess what baby is gonna be thrown out with THAT bathwater!

hehehheheheee Freddy Foo Foo...you a cute lil Dubbie. Add to that list of new breed of JWs "Jealous Ones" who want our freedom so badly their hatred of us is all consuming.

Latest UN info; 7:00 pm eastern time

by biblexaminer in

latest un information as of 7:00 pm eastern time (canada/us).

i spoke to the man who heads the ngo office at united nations headquarters.

i will not release his name at this point because i was asked not to by the individual who gave me the contact information.

Perhaps in their haste to remove themselves from getting BUSTED once again, the WTBTS has shot themselves in the foot here by eliminating whatever political benefit being an NGO gave them in the first place. You KNOW they didnt join the UN for nothing...there HAD to be a motive. They removed themselves from that list ONLY because of the stink that was raised and to cover their ass. The damage is already out there. Even if they deny it ever happened like they do with EVERYTHING they screw up...they cant erase the memory of the tens of thousands that SAW IT. And now their efforts to COVER IT UP only make them appear all the more guilty. If there was NOTHING WRONG with their being a member there...why the hasty removal?? Why no explanation to the press? Why the hush hush??

WTS - UN/NGO = Damage limitation started

by kimberly in

i could kick myself about all this.

i read the guardian every day and yet monday, because i was late for work, i didn't bother to buy it.

now i can't help thinking, if only i'd bought a copy on monday, shown it to my family (innocently, of course) and then let them have their own doubts.

LovesDubs

No matter what the dubs do at this point, they cant erase the public record that shows they WERE a member for TEN YEARS. Deny all they want to...its there. Web sites only reflect what is written on hard copy for all the world to see. Dont be discouraged.
