I hate JW's

by ashitaka in

jw

i hate all jw's for making my wife upset when they send their commanders (elders) to harass my wife for not going to meetings.

i'd like to say f**k you to all people who have hurt my wife and i and continue to do so.

these f**king c***s continually try to hurt my wife because she won't kiss their asses.

I think you need to find a peaceful place with all this. Don't forget practically everyone here has suffered a great deal at the hands of JWs. We've all felt as you do at one time or another. I've been disfellowshipped for no good reason, for over 20 yrs. I blame my mother's breast cancer and my father's massive heart attack on JWs - because it broke them having to decide between me and my JW siblings. However a friend once told me that I have to think about all the good things in my life that HAVE gone well. How blessed I am that my husband came out of the Org with me and how I got out before they had a chance to stuff up my kids (hey that's my job!). They say the best form of revenge is to live well. I wish this for you. Certainly as time passes their ability to hurt you gets less. It never goes away completely. But no one has a perfect life. Try to learn to accept that JWs are your cross to bear.

Where are all the witnesses

by sleepy in

jw
friends

i wish there were more genuine witnesses here to answer our question .. why do you think they dont come?

Marilyn

Sleepy, you got a lot to learn!!! I've been "out" for over 20 yrs. That's enough time to work out what their game is. Even when they give you answers, they are only answers, but they are not logical answers. Their answers are designed to satisfy themselves not us. They don't even know they are like it. They hide behind "oh you are apostate, so you are trying to trick me" - this kind of thought is designed to let them off the hook. Any time you get close to unnerving them, they hide behind our apostate status. You can't help a JW unless they are already doubting. You will find this out eventually, but keep trying as there is always the exception to the rule. :-)))

Apostate Overseer's visit

brother ao, i am no longer a youth and therefore am struggling with the problem of self-abuse.

this is a habit i have tried to start but have had great difficulties with.

sometimes i am too tired at night and fall asleep.

Marilyn

It's my sisterly duty to interfer here and usurp the authority of the AO! I think you need to examine your motives for the reason for your lack self abuse. Your independent spirit is showing. How many times do you need to be told that the begining is soon and that you should be putting the Apostates Interests first. Your selfishness could lead to a loss of faithlessness and the lure of the Kingdom Hall may prove too much for you. If you don't pay attention to the small things brothers (VERY SMALL!), you will get overwhelmed by inertia. So just pick yourself up and get on with it! If not for yourself, do it for us!!!

hello i've been sent from botchtower headquaters to see how the flock of apostate are digressing spiritualy.. as we all know it is important to be inactive in the service and meetings and i see that many of you are doing well.. it can be hard though , sometimes when we come home from work tiered it is all too easy to get washed and changed and to rush of to a meeting without stoping to eat.. but without trust in the holyspirit you can become stong and my be able to get into the habit of watching tv or maybe even going to the pub.. even if you can do a little tv watching a day instead of reading the watchtower and awake it will help.. in order to combat the desires of the spirit we must replace them with more apostate things.i notice that some of you have not been active on the internet recently.. this is not good for your progress.. on my next visit i would like to see more non attendance at meetings less studying and more engagment in materialistic pursuits.. oh and some of you have been reporting your hours, please consider the relevent material as whether this is unscriptual or not.. with warm love and apostate greetings ,.

alliwannadoislive, I too am now thoroughly confused. Sleepy needs to make regular visits and pay special attention to those not giving trouble. I think he could improve the bad spirit considerably, just by a thoughtful shun or an unkind word in the wrong ear.

Personally I think he is destined for greatness. PO for sure and perhaps even Bethel dis-service! I personally am not looking forward to more of his discouragments!!

2/3 of all JW's are women and what it implies

by Mindchild in

jw
friends

a few weeks back, kinsman posted a link about a recent survey of religion in america which showed that 68% of all jehovah's witnesses were female, which is the highest ratio of women to men in any religion in the usa.. i believe the reason for this unbalance in adherents in favor of women comes down to two fundamental reasons.

the first is shunning and the second is the appeal of the "family type atmosphere" that the witnesses pretend to offer.. we all know the power of shunning keeps a lot of people trapped inside the collective, and just due to the fact that women are enculturated more with having emotional bonds with others, makes it a bit tougher to leave family and friends behind.

this doesn't mean that men don't suffer emotionally, but the general trend is more for men to suppress their feelings and damn the emotional torpedoes and go full speed ahead out of the bad dream.. this suggests to me, that if there is a major modification of the shunning policy, the largest exodus will be in the female ranks.

Marilyn

Given that the religion is absolute crap, one has to wonder if women are more stupid than men? Geez someone has to say the bleedin' obvious!!! I'd like to say that traditionally women have been home (contacted at the door) more than men, but we can't use that excuse any longer. Maybe women are more suggestable than men. Maybe PMS has made them more desperate for a new world where PMS will be no more! It's a damned scary statistic! :-(

Hey Jeff, I'm bad at Maths, but you're worse. I stopped meetings weeks after the second child was born. He is 22 yrs old today. I was disfed 2 yrs later for apostasy. Coz I didn't believe in God not coz I found another troof (as you put it so well). So yeah I enjoyed 75' and was around till December 79!!!! Loved your post about your child. I love a bit of bragging about our kids. Actually it was having kids that made us realise it's time we stopped all the nonesense before we messed em' up even worse than usual. My older daughter just qualified for as a doctor. Graduates on the 6th of Decemeber. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Sleepy, I think RunningMan needs to tear down his apostateality with lots of never going out in the service and by never going to meetings or reading any Society litterature. If he works conscienciously at these lack of tasks I think he might measure up to the great name Jehovah's Witness apostate.

As for JeffT, I think he needs to show some humility and listen to the advice of a sister who isn't wearing a headcover!! JeffT hon, I believe you are showing an independent spirit. Only when you too have got past the first really boring 30 pages of the first book of Harry Potter book can you expect to be given a turn on the microphones! Btw I was disfellowshipped for apostasy 20 years ago last April (or there abouts!), so nominate myself to be sleepy's right hand woman!!

I always feel so riddled with guilt after this kind of pep talk. What I really hate is when I put in a big effort to watch lots of tv and spend huge amounts of time on the internet, yet I see others, who should know better, lagging behind and not doing what they know to be right.

Now Apostate overseer, what expensive delicacy would you like for your lunch? (there's not an aluminium pot in the house!).

What is marking about?

by Missie Eff in

jw
friends

i have a good freind here with me this evening.

(celtic, if you're around you know her - it's liane).

there is something that has always puzzled both of us.

Marilyn

I can't say for sure, but I think my parents may be "marked". They are 80yrs old and 77yrs old. My mother has breast cancer and my father has had two heart attacks and a stroke. They are both in poor health. However, because they would not dissassociate from me (I'm disfed) they are treated distantly by many congregation. I think all it's achieved is to aid my parents into attending meetings far less frequently, as the the meetings themselves are too excruciating on their own to hold their attention. If all you get out of the meetings is boring talks and cool to non existent acknowledgment from the *loving* brothers, why bother at all? Basically what it boils down to is peer group pressure!

ExJw And Abortions

by tyydyy in

jw
friends

we all know the jw view of abortion before leaving but what about now?

how have your views changed?

i used to secretly cheer when i heard that women had gained more rights concerning abortions.

Marilyn

I don't believe life is sacred. I don't think babies should be given a chance of life, no matter what the circumstances. But I believe adults should make intelligent, sensitive decisions about when termination is in the best interest of everyone concerned. That doesn't include using abortion as birth control. If I got pregnant now at age 48, I wouldn't hesitate.
