Brother Judged For "Accidental Caress"
by SYN inyoung brother judged as fornicator by secret judicial meeting - pleads guilty.
intercourse, pennsylvania - in events which will certainly resonate throughout the unified consciousness of the entire dub hive-mind, a group of 3 men wearing cheap suits and driving what appeared to be late-model early 90s vehicles were seen pulling into the parking lot of the intercourse kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses wednesday evening right after the field service arrangement.
the men were seen leaving the car by two other witnesses who happened to be driving past at the time.

Has this place changed you?
by OUTLAW inwhen i first came here i was happy to find a place where i could laugh, get pissed off or just speak my mind on a subject.the people i have met here are some of the most,kind,careing,informative,helpfull souls.
i couldn`t have asked for a better group to be involved with.i do not always agree with my board mates.even with the ones who piss me off,there is still a comradeship(yk comes to mind,lol).finding this board has taught me one important thing.we are not alone,we have each other...outlaw

Yes it did, I found alot of people that are listening to me, and it woke me up more and showed me all the wrong doing of the Borg, I am still a JW but inactive and on the way to soon being DFed as I can't stand being related to such a cult!!!

Ever lie on your service reports?
by The_Bad_Seed in*laughing just thinking about it*.
did anybody out there lie on their service reports that they maintained the 'national average' when in reality you got .005 hours of service in any given month?
i magically always used to always get "10" hours out in service, while nobody ever saw me at the groups, no one ever caught on, or seemed not to -- maybe they just didn't give a shit.. i always lied so i could keep my microphone 'privelidges' -- that being, the privelidge to walk around at the back of the hall giving my deflated ass a break from those awful chairs they had.

Yes since I started having doubts about the WT being so dishonest and the elders keeping thier little secrets, I did the same just for the priviliges. They do not check if its true, as its not interesting enough for them the elders like juicier lies like apostacy and sex stories then wrong hours, as they do not get any kicks by them.

Too wierd to be true... but it is... Elders???
by Lapuce inwell yesterday i go the visit of two elders of my congregation, my wife told them that i was acting like an apostat as i talked two days before to two mormons, yes i told them that that they were in a cult like the jw's and they couldn't think for themselves like us, boy i got a real sermon from them, my wife told them that i was on anti-depresants and that they made me ack a bit crazy sometimes, well i know one thing, it wont be the last time i will here from them.
i know 3 years ago i got a talk by the elders but that time it was for buying lotto tickets, again my wife found a ticket in my pocket that i forgot when i put my cholths for washing.
i got the talk, but no sanctions again.

Thanks all for the nice comments, yes the road ahaead is bumpy but with all your help it will make it all easier. I will try to work more slowly on my wife, she was baptised in 1987, I didn't know her at that time and I was at 1994 so she had way more brainwashing then me. Also she was a pioneer in the late 1980's. I was just a publisher, but never made it to MS as I was always crittical of many matters.
Thank you again,

DID YOU EVER RAT ON SOMEBODY???
by minimus inthe congregation was always being told to root out any person who was engaged in wrongdoing.
if it was a best friend or even a family member, you were to inform the elders so that they could look into the matter and investigate any possible sin.
the elders pretty much told the brothers that those knowing of a sin and not reporting it were as guilty as the person that actually sinned!

Yes I did rat on two occasions when I used to be a goodie-goodie, but since I'm slowly but surly on my way to being DF'ed I guess I can post it eh???
The two occasions where on brothers which where smoking (well trying to hide it ). I know know that they wern't df'ed though, but were considered bad company by the elders.

Another time 5 years ago, I went to a Christmas party at work without telling my wife it was a christmas party, I got a bit drunk and again the elders gave me a talk. I do not know why with these 3 accidents I was not DF'ed I also told them I looked at many sites like this one at the last visit yesterday, and they told me on a final note that I simply needed a vacation and that I should get a higher dose for my pills. I don't get these flakes... these guys have disfellowed brothers and sisters for lighter sins and I get off the hook four times??? I'm really confused, I'd like a reply on that....

Hello I'm new here...
by Lapuce ini really love this web site and yes i'm a jw still, have been for 8 years now, i'm 35 and am married to a jw and have two boys one is 1-1/2 and the other 5. for about 2 to 3 years now i'm starting to see that its not really the truth.
the brothers, sisters and elders dont really care about anyone, the watchtower is ruining my life, i have been depressed for awhile now and i'm on anti depressants as i started feeling suicidal as i'll never be good enough as i hate meetings, i hate going door to door, and it doesn't make any sense that jehovah will destroy good people just because they don't follow its doctrins.
its like saving to your son if you don't do what i tell you i will kill you.

Thank you so much for the very warm welcome every one here gave me, I'm already starting feeling at home right here, I get a much better welcome here then at the Kingdom hall thats for sure.
All the info on how to deal with my situation is greatly appreciated, I am happy that so many of you actually took the time to write me, I know one thing I will be coming here as often as I can. Like I said in my first post I will write more about me in a future post, as I'm know at work and do not have much time to write, and its out of the question I log on here while my wife is around, but since I havn't gone door to door in about three months I will have the time when my wife is out preaching.
I will try and get Crisis of Conscience this weekend if possible, if not I will order it. I see so many of you have similar stories to me it makes me feel better that I'm really not alone.
I will try to answer as many questions in the little time I have left:
Francois: I tried to talk to my wife, she is very defensive, She doesn't touch any other lit than Wt publications, Se only reads sometimes readers digest and a few mags, thats it.
Musky and Six of Nine: similar stories like me thanks for the advice... I need it...
All the others, I havn't forgotten you all, just that time is running out but I will get to know you better in the days to come, and I will E-mail many of you soon, I will try to set up a seperate hotmail so to be able as my wife will probally monitor my e-mails(for the elders of course).
Well see ya...

Its like saving to your son if you don't do what I tell you I will kill you. I feel frustrated and I finally think that I found the place that will answer my questions. My wife still belives its the truth, I don't, What really stops me from being D/A, or D/F is I will loose all my friends, I don't have many friends and I was so brainwashed in the past years, its hard being normal and thinking for yourself.
I will tell you my story later, but just posting here did do one thing for me, it made me feel good, I guess its a very important first step.
