i don't have kids, but i recently found that someone with kids that lives in my town is also an ex-jw.
she just happened to post on an apostafest thread on facebook for an event that i attended, saw that we lived in the same place, and i met her for the first time tonight.
pretty cool.. she has a 14 year old boy that is super smart and very articulate.
This:
Third, there's that 1994(?) Awake magazine with the cover that has all those pictures of now-dead JW kids who died because they were brainwashed into refusing blood transfusions.
May 22, 1994. I have no idea how a judge even just briefly thumbing through this mag would not see JWs as a harmful cult.

Let's review: It's a cult!
... they've accepted me!
finance is already sorted - they're waiting for me to give them my new student number so that they can start paying me.
just need to formally accept bristol's offer and sort out accommodation.. accommodation should be ok - i've been told priority is given to new students, plus i'm enrolling onto a program for a real degree as a postgraduate - i won't be studying gender studies or some crap like that.
Awesome! Congrats!
whether you like him or not.... it doesn’t matter.
do you think he will be impeached?
?.
Looks very likely at this point. However, I feel the same as Apostate Anonymous:
All I know, regardless of what eventually happens, impeachment or not, NOTHING substantial is going to change in this country.
The greatest (and honestly the only) disappointment I've had since waking up is in the political system in the US. Trump, Bush, Clintons, Obama --- all ineffectual (at best) if you ask me.
my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.
however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".
they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.
You are obviously NOT a Jehovah’s Witness as JW’s do NOT shun. - Dennis Cybulski
The Amish practice permanent shunning as well as temporary shunning much the same as we do. - Dennis Cybulski
So this means that JWs do NOT SHUN, but when they do, it's similar to the Amish. Riiiiiight. . . . .
we all know tony the turd has an obsession with boys in tight pants.
i cant help but wonder what he thought about brother nelson (aka.
prince) who was known to squeeze into some tight numbers from time to time?.
I think I know exactly what TM3 thought of Prince: $$$$$$$$$$$$$
well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.
we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..
I thought putting up signs in the windows of cars in the car park was brilliant.
what are you thoughts on this?.
i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.
Absolutely no fan of Jones, but I can't think of anything worse than banning him on YouTube, FB, etc..
It's like the Russians banning JWs - just feeds into their conspiracy theory/persecution mentality and won't do much else.
Banning beliefs (even batshit crazy ones) accomplishes nothing.
i'm hearing about 5,900 in attendance/37 baptized...
NO!
Wouldn't go there even when I was still in. We went to Newburgh, NY instead.
This past weekend was my former cong's turn in Trenton. From the posts I'm seeing, it was the best ever!!
i heard the crap, smurfs were magical evil creatures.
i saw in the 80s kids parents get talked to because of the kids having one or pjs with smurfs on them but other than the urban meme where did this come from?
was there anything printed about it?
Oh gosh. . . .I was floored when I first came to this site and saw the Smurf stories. I had always thought it was just a local thing.
I remember our CO (Robert Hahn) talking about Smurfs and My Little Pony in the 80s. He even told the congregation about a demon possessed My Little Pony that raped a little witness girl.
What a fucked up world we grew up in!
