a super-zealous elder once told me in a very grave tone, "you know, mr. falcon, when someone becomes an apostate and leaves god's organization, they usually do very well physically and materially.
" hence the reason he claims that they feel "vindicated".
now i do also remember hearing such statements in the past from other witnesses.
Mr Freeze:"Where do I fill out my application to receive said mansion and jet?"
The local Apostate Welfare office.
today i went to my local grocery store and there were three doomsday brigade jw cult members that have watched me grow up from a teenager.
i walked right up to them and said hi...not once but three times.
they looked right through me as if i was invisible.
Troubled mind:
"I noticed the Witnesses put up a table at our local Wal-mart last summer ,and i have been thinking of asking the manager about putting up a cult awareness table too ! Let me know if you go through with it ...."
Troubled one; all you have to do is to wait and see if the Witnesses are there. You don't really have to ask the Manager but it would be nice to inform him that you plan to be there and why. When you explain the 'why' part, you might actually get support from management.
I suggest emphasizing their totalitarian nature by using the worse example of disfellowshipping; that of the victims of sexual molestation.

How dare Satan leave me behind! Do any of you have any idea how hard I worked for my apostasy? All that sweat and those sleepless nights spent blaspheming. All the backbreaking toil spent in formulating false doctrine after false doctrine!
I have a sense of entitlement! I demand my slice of the pie!
By the way Mr. Falcon, is that cute baby up for adoption? He does come with the bed doesn't he?
i'm thinking way outside the box here.... i looked up my thread title before starting this thread and guess what??.
no one appears to have ever considered this question before.... i've seen far, far, far too many people of european/british isles/african/american extraction defending this regional middle-eastern 'god', without realizing that their ancestors would never have willingly consented to give up their own deities to worship this interloper thrust upon them, usually at the point of a roman sword... or occasionally for trading advantages, as in the case of many of the heathen viking - norsemen.... so.
what if the bible had never existed?.
Something else would have taken its place.
i am thinking about it and i have never been there.
if you have been there, i would like to know about your experience in d.r., thanks!.
I haven't been there but maybe
this guy can give you some advise.
after carefully evaluating the my current life situation, i've come to the conclusion that returning to the hall will be best for me.
i simply just don't fit in with the rest of the world.
i don't drink, smoke, have sex, go to clubs, listen to worldly music, watch movies, or gamble.
Maze:
"Not all ex-Jehovah's Witnesses have the capacity to return to the Christian congregation. The vast majority of the participants on this forum are beyond repentance. Communicating with them for “advice” is as beneficial as administering medicine to the dead. Just some food for thought..."

Philadelphia Ponos:
"Just a little background to makes thing clearer. I originally left 3 years and 10 months ago. I left because of the idolatry of the Governing Body."
Philly, I also left because of their self-idolatry, for the most part. I was having anxiety attacks going out in field service and going to other congregation's book studies. In the long run, I could not stand the mere fact that I was keeping a Kingdom Hall seat warm.
Just because you're different than many in the non-Jehovah's Witness world doesn't mean that you have only them as a choice. In fact, you have just [proven yourself to be different than the Witnesses themselves. If you don't feel that you fit in the "World", as the JWs self righteously call it, then you should not fit in their world where Pedophiles are cuddled while their victims are disfellowshipped.
Affirming the (non) legitimacy of a blaspheming, narcissistic and psychopathic group of people is beneath the dignity of a person whose morality is fine tuned.
Seek out your own world. All of us at JWN once walked on JW crutches but we ended up casting them away. If that means crawl to your own destiny then by all means, crawl.
