  Do your parents still talk to you?

  by scootergirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just curious if your parents still have contact with you after you have been df'd/da'd.

  mine have stood by w/strong convictions not to have contact w/me.

  they have to have some being that i have kids that they want to see (but that is very minimal).

  Nah. My folks have been inDUHctrinized since 1957 (Mum) & 1958 (Pop).

  I last spoke to my Dad on the phone from my hotel in St. Augustine, FL. I had extended an open invitation (to my folks and my siblings) to dinner at a family-style restaurant with me, my fiancee and my little brother (inactive). My Dad called at 9:00am the day before this dinner, to say that he "and everyone else" (meaning my JW siblings) could not go to dinner with me "in good conscience". Pissed me off - pissed off my fiancee even MORE.

  After that, the only exchange I've had was a flurry of e-mails between my Mom & me - that was around the time of the UN debacle. Sad that these people have allowed themselves to be blinded - and so willingly, too.

  (((((((ERICA))))))))

  The cross scene in dateline was only a split second, so obviously there just looking for excuses. My dad has a pony-tail and a beard and we love it. We all seen the pics of my fam on dateline and of couse he didn't have one as an elder for all those years.

  Thanks for posting and clearing up the cross & ponytail thing. Everyone seemed to miss that your dad grew the ponytail AFTER leaving the Dubs. The cross was just nit-picking. As for your makeup - I have seen more on the faces of some JW gurls! I thought you looked beautiful. But leave it to the Dubs to always accentuate the negative (whatever it may be for them THAT week).

  Love ya!

  by OUTLAW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dubs are always looking for an angle to make money.their probably no worse than anybody else,but they do like to preach against materialism while chasing the illusive dollar.alot of times its some form of pyramid scheme.amway for one,or the triple charge system(owned and operated by some dubs from califonia)then theres the out and out pyramid scheme.you bring in people who give the pyramid $500.00,after bringing in so many people the guy at the top get`s a $17,000.00 payout,and is free to start again at the bottem of the pyramid.i`ve known a few dubs who have collected their 17grand.the pyramid eventually burns out,and the people at the bottem are left holding the bag(no payout).they lose the money they couldn`t afford to spend to begin with.there are some dubs though,that make a good living at this.what are some of the get rich schemes you`ve witnessed(pun intended)in dubland?...outlaw

  MAKENA:

  Lots of JW's I knew in CA and WA were into selling Nueskin (sp?). Anyone know what became of that scheme and product?

  YES!!! Nu-Skin was popular to do here in New York, too (and not just among Dubs, either). Also, some of my JW family in Florida dabbled in it a bit. The company os still around - the products are actually pretty good: http://www.nuskin.com/

  at one time, this board seemed to be fair.

  ex-jws here can cuss, insult, say fu to everybody they don't like, and call jws pedophiles.

  for many of us, the internet is old news.

  when i first met my husband in 1995, we were using the internet for his job search.a friend racked up $494 in monthly charges out of my checking account back in the days before aol was unlimited.

  (yes, they paid me back) strange, but true.. since that time, i have seen many things.

  Heh-heh - BRING IT ON, BYATCH!!!

  I DA'd in 1993.

  Real name: Joel Micah Sidoti
  DOB: 01/23/1967
  Daytime phone: (646) 576-5162
  I live in Westchester county in New York (about 30 min northeast of Manhattan.

  I work at the MLA, 26 Broadway, New York, NY 10004-1789 - right across the river from Brooklyn HQ.

  I have NEVER been afraid of these pig f***ers, and never will.

  All of the above information can be found in a local phone book, BTW, and the Internet makes it easy to find people. Hell, if they wanted anything with me, they would have come after me a long time ago! I have never been contacted by any of the loving elders from either the Pratt congregation in Brooklyn, nor the Cedarhurst congregation in Long Island - whom I was affiliated with when I DA'd.

  COME AND GET ME, SUCKERS!!!!

  Thank you for the support

  by Erica in

  2. friends

  i can't find the words that would express how grateful i am for all the support, not only for all of you to back me on the dateline show but for my trial as well.

  i don't think i would have had the courage to go through the trauma if it wasn't for all your prayers and encouragement.

  dateline was a huge help for many and i know this because i have recieved quite a few calls, one from a current jdub who wants out for the safety of his 16 month old baby, i was so excited that he lifted the veil and saw it for the pure truth that it was.
