Today is my 10th anniversary!
by JRK innone of my three marriages lasted that long!
today is the tenth anniversary of my being disfellowshipped.
apparently i am much better at being disfellowshipped than being married.. i might end up getting married again someday, but i will definitely not return to the cult.. say amen!.

Thanks to Those That Went Before Us
by OnTheWayOut ini want to say thanks to those that have blazed the trail for others to become former jehovah's witnesses.. many were disfellowshipped or disassociated, some stopped going to meetings before "faders" existed.
many had no internet or any way of gathering with others who left the jw's.
later, the likes of randy watters and ray franz gave many a sense of a group conscience with their efforts and writings.

I can't find the right words to express the gratitiude I have for all who speak up. I was able to break free because of all the brave ones who went before me. I hate to think of the misery I would still be in if someone had not validated my feelings.
My heart goes out to the disfellowshipped who are sheepishly sitting in the back desiring an ounce of the fake love. They are so close to freedom. I want to pay it forward to honor those who went before me and the ones who will come after.
Thanks for the thread Jerry in Chicago from Eliza in Richmond.

In pioneer school 1996 the circuit overseer said a witness can't be disfellowshipped for attending or celebrating their birthday. They will be marked and considered bad association. He said birthdays is not the same as xmas. Xmas is part of false religion thus a disfellowshipping offense birthdays are a tradition with no direct religious ties.

I was told this is the new arrangement re recordings made known only to the BOE. Can someone confirm this?
One congregation CD is made of meetings, assemblies & DC to pass on to publishers who want to hear it. The publisher is to have it for a limited time I think it's 1 week and no copies are to be made. It is returned and passed on to the next person. After a limited time the CD is to be destroyed.
A ministerial servant who works the sound & an elders wife who's husband does sound @ assemblies told me this.

Kingdom Hall by Van Morrison
So glad to see you
So glad you're here
Come here beside me now
We can clear inhibition away
All inhibitions
Throw them away
And when we dance like this
Like we've never been dancin' before
Chorus:
Oh, they were swingin'
Down at Kingdom Hall
Oh, bells were ringin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
A choir was singin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
Hey, liley, liley, liley
Hey, liley, liley, low
Do do do do do do, do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do, do
Do do do do do do
Good body music
Brings you right here
Free flowin' motion now
When we're shakin' it out on the floor
Good rockin' music
Down in your shoes
And when we dance like this
Like we've never been dancin' before
Repeat Chorus
Down at the Kingdom Hall
They were havin' a party
They were havin' a ball
Bells were ringing out
And the choir was singin'
Hey, liley, liley, liley
Hey, liley, liley, low
Do do, do do, do do, do do
Sugar was there
Did you see Sugar
Down at the Kingdom Hall -

Aug. 15th WT - WT Society Dissing Internet Again - All JW's Beware !
by flipper inwe always know when the gb or wt leaders are nervous and worried about potential alleged " threats " to jehovah's witnesses - because they repetitively keep mentioning these perceived " threats " in talks at assemblies or in wt articles constantly.. the " witness only " august 15th wt is no different.
in a non-study article entitled " the internet - making wise use of a global tool " once again the wt society instills doubt and fear into witnesses by " warning " them about use of the internet.
3 " while the internet can provide valuable information, save us time, and serve a useful function, it can also misinform us, consune an inordinate amount of our time, and corrupt us morally.

Watchtower: You Need To Clean Your Organization, NOW!
by metatron inthe leaders of jehovah's witnesses are faced with a dilemma: they endlessly praise themselves as a 'clean' organization that has god's approval while dealing with the day to day reality of internal corruption, barely hidden decay, long term serious sins and a loss of vitality.. it should be obvious that there are countless elders going thru the motions simply to please their families - and much the same is true of publishers, as the society's own statistics manifest a profoundly unproductive preaching work.
worse yet, there is plain evidence of outright disloyalty as confidential documents pop up continually on the internet.
want a new elder's manual?

To a JW this makes perfect sense
US Govt ruled by Satan. Materialism is from Satan. Smurfs are from Satan. Stock Exchange is just keeping it all in the family.
