  mine is 10/23.

  i used to use that day to ponder the state of my jw spirituality, make goals, feel guilty, etc.

  this is my first exjw baptism anniversary.. does anyone have any fun suggestions to commemorate an un-baptism?.

  KS made public-Jah's will

  it would appear that this may be gods will...since the book is being made public...despite the effort to stop it.so the ones trying to stop it may actually be working againts jehovah's will.

  Amen. Surely this is the will of the Universal Sovereign.

  You can make a choice to stop "going through this" right now. It's up to YOU.

  This has something to do with an unholy alliance between Google and The Nameless Ones.

  Best not to speak of it.

  Move along, folks, nothing to see here.

  My JW wife wanted to throw a costume party. Any advice.

  by garyneal in

  to all active and former witnesses (elders especially), i have a question.. .

  she indicated that she wanted to include her witness friends as well.

  however, given the fact that we are in the month of october and costume parties in this month are associated with halloween, she did not know how to throw a costume party without making it look like a halloween party.

  Costume ideas: Charles Taze Russell, Judge Rutherford.

  Invite some elders from your wife's kingdom hall and some elders from other kingdom halls, along with the Circuit Overseer. Let it be a REAL party!

  Video EVERYTHING! You will cherish these memories!

  Put video segments up on YouTube; let everyone see how "normal" JWs are!

  He will agree, and when the time comes, he will change his mind and you will be SCREWED.

  DON'T DO THIS.

  How did you ever come to be dating this guy in the first place? Do you realize that it is probably because as a non-JW girl, you were a lot more "fun" to be with, and unlikely to go running to the elders when he pressed you for sexual favors? He's a two-faced snake who used you for what he saw as your "low" morals. Now he want's to lock you in.

  If you marry this guy you will bitterly regret the day you said , "I do."

  SHUNNING is a "loving provision™" of Jehovah's organization intended to increase the misery of the person being shunned by depriving them of association with their nearest and dearest friends.

  Since JWs are ordered to limit their contact with "worldly" people, the social circle of most JWs consists of thier believing family members and their believing friends from the Kingdom Hall. When shunning starts, all former friends will look right through the shunned one as though they were not there, treating them as dead (except they do not morn the loss). Believing family members are told to only have minimal contact with the shunned one, just what is necessary family business.

  The shunned person often find themselves in a state of emotional free-fall, waiting for the reassurance of a parachute that never opens.

  In order to get out of this shunned state, a person has to SUBMIT to the whims of the elder body, who will dictate to the shunned one the terms and conditions of their return to the joyous assembly of Jehovah's true worshippers. Usually, the person will be required to attend all meetings for a year - while being shunned - remaining silent and sitting in the last row of the auditorium. They must also provide proof to the elder's satisfaction that the practice which precipitated the shunning has ceased and that all "bad associations" that might lead to repeat offenses have been severed.

  People are expected to either return to the congregation or kill themselves as an expression of misery, grief and anguish.

  What is NOT expected is that the shunned one will discover a happy and rewarding life outside the "spiritual paradise" of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  If you marry this guy you will find your quality of life significantly diminished virtually overnight as Jehovah and the elders move into your bedroom and demand that your JW husband exercise his "headship" over you. Even if you remain in infidel, your husband will see to it that if your children ever need a blood transfusion, they will be sacrificed to Jehovah instead.

  Really, don't do this. Save yourself.

  Christ is head of the church, but unless she's anointed, she's not one of the "church."

  If she's one of the "other sheep," I don't think Christ would be her head - he's not even her mediator.

  Probably under Israelite law her male parent (father) would be her head.

  Yeah, like THAT'S going to fly.
