Orphan I try. Really I do. But knowing what I know and having seen what I have seen with my own eyes and experience it makes me so angry that more JDubs are not asking these questions and reporting these things! Like mindless drones who obey orders willfully ignorantly. When will justice come to this cult? You can say I was a JDub only for a short time before I got Dfd but in that time I have seen so much. I can not imagine those who have been JDubs for 30, 40 years or worked in Bethel.

I heard someone say "Bethel makes the best apostates." Know we know why!

This is so tragic. How many young ones must lose their lives for this cult?

I remember when I was a naive active JDub when something bad would happen, it was always, "think about JEHOAVHS NAME" and they would do EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING to hide the fact that it was a JDub especially when he was an elder or pioneer. For example in my old hall, the 30 something year old son of the PO got a 14 year old girl prego. The son broke down and confessed this to his father who was kind of the "King elder" if you know what I mean. Every hall has one. Well they covered it up all they could. The family of the girl was told to not report this to the authorities because "think about Jehobahs name!" So at school she told everyone her boyfriend was 16 and he ran away and they made up this big story. A complete lie! WTF? Seriously! So it is OK to lie when it is Jehobah's name? F*ck that! Either you are honest all the time, which I would expect a "HOLY GOD" to want or you are not. I am sure that Jehobah does not care about his holy "name" that much if he did not bother to make sure his servants would know how to F*CKING PRONOUNCE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FTW the creepy son of the elder never got officially DFd cause they said he had "learning disabilities." WTF so that is the free pass card? I am going to try that sometime! Hey Brother A** Hole, I am really sorry about f*cking your son but hey, I have ADHD! Let a sister live a little!

the above quote from the wb&t ofbritain annual return tothecharity commission.. from what i have read they do little else.........

Sir82 you and I think alike!

Plus I have always said that the JDub cult should never be getting 801c tax exempt status since they do ZERO charity. Zilch. Null. Nada.

Here is what we all need to do:

Who is your favourite thinker?

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

having recently read orwells 1984, i was impressed with how he understood that both politicians and people abuse language.

this further confirmed to me how the w.t had deceived me by using words to distort reality.

the book 1984, also contains many other great thoughts of george orwell.. of course there have been many other great thinkers, buddah, darwin, freud, einstein and marx come to mind.

Anthony Morris III. Hands down. Brilliant man. Who else could mislead so many people with absolute devotion?

Don't know what to do

i'm in a crazy situation.

about a year ago, i was going to get baptized.

it was all planned and arranged until ttatt was learned.

This sounds like what I was going through for a while so I am so sorry to hear that. My advice to you, in now that I am talking to a ton of ex-JDubs is Lawyer Up! and sue the crude out of them and the WT ! Contact a local newspaper, put out ads in the locals whatever you have to do. I am sure there is at least one shark in your area willing to make a name for himself. If you do not win, you have helped to save a few lives when they read the newspaper. And if you do win, you will get some ca$h and save some lives! It is a win/win situation here.

A lot of "forbidden" talk is going on among witnesses

by nevaagain in

jw
friends

me and my wife are still "in".

we had the "talk" a couple of times, but shet is not ready to leave yet.

while a couple of years ago she started crying on the thought that i am an "apostate" and even gave me an ultimatum until she would rat me out to the elders (never happened), now i sense that she might is a little bit more open to the the thought to leave one day .... anyway, all out friends and family are still in the truth and whenever we are meeting with other witnesses topic #1 is always the recent changes to the meetings / conventions (reduced to one day) which always lead to the changes to the magazines and the recent lay offs of the special pioneers and bethelites.

I wish I had something to add to this but nobody is allowed to talk to me LOL

Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing

by David_Jay in

since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

Great post. I have always been the live and let live kinda girl myself but there are caveats.
