  I went home to visit my sister today...

  i haven't posted on here much recently but i thought out of everything that has happened since my husband and i together left the jw's, this was tame enough and not as drama-laden enough to share.... i have been married and out of the house for only about a year and a half, and since then, i have not been attending meetings after learning the truth about the "truth".

  of course, i have caught flack for it but my family is on this new passive-aggressive kick; trying to guilt me about leaving without actually outwardly saying anything.. today, my sister (the new young regular pioneer) invited me (the apostate) over to my mother's house to hang out and maybe watch a movie.

  i was responsible for picking the movie.

  for those on who are still in.. what is the official position of the wathchtower with regards to this movie?

  the reason i ask is that i went out with some jw family to the movies recently and just for kicks i suggested we go watch the smurfs just to see how they would react.

  everyone was very resoundingly against going to watch it.

  Florida Pastor Doesn’t Get Why Atheists Aren’t Registered Like Sex Offenders

  i thought this was so insanely stupid that it made it funny, so i had to share.

  living in "the bible belt", i meet people with this sort of mentality all the time but this guy takes the cake!

  let's all applaud this guy for reaching new lows in his preachy narrow-mindedness that it was barely interesting enough that a reporter was desperate enough for a story wrote about it.. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/08/florida_pastor_asks_why_atheis.html.

  Reaching Out to my ExJW Cousin

  2. experiences

  i am sure many of us have had experiences while we were active jws where we were often discouraged from talking to worldy or disfellowshipped family members regardess of occasion or circumstance.

  i was always told not to communicate with one of my cousins who, along with her husband had faded back in the 90's and are now off celebrating christmas, birthdays and such.

  she has been the victim of many a snub and all out unkindness from various family members, including me.

  What's the first thing you did when you got out?

  i was thinking about all the things i missed out on growing up as a jw.

  many of those things i will never be able to do anyway, like join in any extracurriular activities or go to senior prom.

  but one of the first things i did when i got out if the borg was join a ballroom dance class and go to a nightclub with some of the students in the class.

  JW directives you thought were downright stupid

  by fallen_princess in

  2. experiences

  i remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.

  i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.

  of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.
