  Someone in here is a mole

  by focariedu21 in

  2. friends

  hy guys the other day my wife had a discussion with her jws brother and he told her that he received all posted material from this site posted by myself and was disgusted with the information.

  now that's all fine by me but what i am pissed about is that some one in here from sydney australia is a mole and pretends to be an ex jws while all the while exposing each and every one he knows as in my case.

  you are one big coward and one who hides behind a skirt a yellow and a chicken shit whom doesn't have the balls to face me in person because you obviously know who i am.

  All JW's are spies. That's their job.

  i apologize if a thread for this has been created already.

  i found the following in the awake may 2013, page 13. earlier, in 607 b.c.e., babylonian armies razed jerusalem.

  and led most of the survivors into exile.

  Maybe there's an idiot in the Writing Department -- many of them.

  Back in the '70's, after an assembly, a very sweet, dear sister told me that what her son (about 5 years old at the time) learned from the assembly was that "Mens is the bosses of womens." In fact, the kid's dad had to give the boy a stern talking-to because the child believed he did not have to obey his mother because she was only a woman.

  I was a female JW, and I know very well that I was a second-class citizen, if even that.

  The official list of things for which you may be disfellowshipped

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the secret elders' book which states that the list "of course" is "not comprehensive".

  nevertheless here are the acts that they deem worthy of specifying as being possible grounds for chucking people out:.

  murdermanslaughter such as killing someone while breaking traffic lawsattempting suicidesexual intercourse with someone other than your spouseanal sex with someone other than your spouseoral sex with someone other than your spousesexual stimulation of the genitals of someone other than your spousedelay in reporting a rape?

  Obviously, there are exceptions. Some sinners are more deserving of DFing than others, i.e., those the elders don't like.

  The young mother probably was expecting an insightful, Biblical response, not a dismissal of every human being born to the "wrong" sort of parents. In fact, I have seen horrible, abusive parents have marvelous children and vice versa.

  Did any of you see the frormer prisoner / escapee from North Korea on 60 Minutes a couple of months ago? He was the third generation of his family to be imprisoned because of something his grandfather allegedly did.

  So, the JW's apparently live by the same philosophy as the North Koreans. What does it have to do with the Bible?

  my ex bf, newly reinstated jw, was texting me that his 75 year old parents (uber dubs) are giving him grief about taking on some debt to buy a new truck to invest in his new job.

  they thought he should just resume his old window cleaning biz.

  so i told him just to tell them not to worry about the debt since it will be wiped clean in the new system, which is right around the corner.. whoops -- i thought i was being clever but apparently my comment offended him.

  Get used to it. Are you sure you want a JW boyfriend? You're not going to marry him, are you? If you do marry him, don't have children!

  as part of my journey, i have realized i must heal myself.

  this has brought me to to the point where i am analyzing myself so i can improve.

  as i sit here looking into my soul, i can say, "i am not proud of what i see.".

  What you and Tater are going through is, IMHO, normal for someone in your situation. I remember the days before my escape from the cult. I was hit with the realization that I had bee a better person before becoming a JW. I had turned into a mean, judgmental, wretched human being. I remembered the days when people liked me for who I was, and I was not that person anymore.

  I recommend reading Your Erroneous Zones by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It tells you how to deal with negative emotions and can start you on the journey of thinking for yourself and no longer worrying about what others think of you. In my case, it gave me "permission" to break free of the things that were bringing me down. Much of the content of this book is what I consider common sense or common knowledge, but not to JW's.

  If you can't get medical treatment, reading some self-help books can be a good start.

  Can you move to another state? That's what finally got me free.

  Well, it's hard to figure out what to believe. I've had a couple of experiences that make me wonder what's real and what isn't.

  One night I dreamed there was a gathering of my dad's siblings. One of the sisters was in the middle of all the others with a big smile on her face. Her name is Marie, and she died over 50 years ago of cancer. (She was in her 30's at the time.) The next day, I got a 'phone call from my sister stating that the last living member of that group of siblings had died. It's almost like Marie was happy because they were all together again.

  Fast forward a few years: One night I was awoken from a sound sleep, not by noise but by a strong feeling that someone else was present. I could not see or hear anyone, but I felt very strongly that someone was in the room with me, and that this being was not happy. I don't know how to describe a feeling that someone else is present, but I assure you I felt it. I was very tense and could not relax. At any rate, I learned the next day that my cousin Ann had died that night. Ann and I had been apart for many years and were reconnecting by e-mail. She died shortly after having gastric bypass surgery.

  My mom had similar experiences that she told me about as well, involving different people from the ones I wrote about above. One of my mom's dreams was about Marie before she died, predicting her death.

  Oddly enough, my niece dreamed about Princess Diana the night Diana died. My niece said Diana was in a long, narrow "room" and was pleading that her children be taken care of. My niece woke up in the middle of the dream and got a drink of water. When she went back to sleep, Diana was stilll "there" pleading with her about her children. Why would my niece be one of those to get these signals from a Princess on the other side of the ocean?

  There are many mysteries. None of this has anything to do with heaven, but it might indicate that there is something more after we die.

  It's really scary for me to tell you guys this stuff, as I don't know how the dearly departed would feel about it. I also am putting myself in a position to have my sanity questioned.

  Oh, well. I am only reporting what happened.
