Leaders or liars

i was a thriving regular pioneer, doing all thr things wholeheartedly, had 16 bible studies, 7 attending meetings regularly, 11 magazine routes and 100's of rv's.

you can imagine i was always runnin out of literature and always a good list of books to order every month.

(not bragging,just stating facts.all this is wasted anyway).

First, ZNMD, as one who was a regular pioneer (in NYC), I have to sincerely commend you on your personal performance when you were pioneering.
YES, looking back we know that we were duped and that the WTB&TS is a steaming pile of stinking horse crap, but in context, you took a job (so to speak) and YOU DID IT. If we were looking at a Bell Curve of pioneer performance for any category, YOU would be well over on the right side beyond the median, while _I_ would have been far to the left, anchoring the base of the curve.
In Real Life I was more like you, job performance wise. I'm interested in hearing more of your story. Where did you pioneer? Are you an XJW now? How did you get out? What was your "exit experience" like? How are you doing now?
I look forward to more posts from you, but not four at a time.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Bother You At All?

i faded from the religion and simply didn’t go back.

once people understood that my family and i left, people in the congregation didn’t know what to do.

should they call me, visit me, leave me alone?

"Kids are different today"
I hear ev'ry dubber say
Dubbers need something today to calm 'em down
And though 'e's not really ill
There's a little scarlet pill
'e goes running for the shelter of a dubber's little helper
And it helps 'im on 'is way, gets 'im through 'is busy day...

i like to watch stand up comedy and comedy clips.

do you have favorite comedians or skits ect?

I prefer to watch comedians from the luxurious comfort of my La-Z-Boy recliner*, but that is a personal choice, as the Scripture is silent on this matter.
*Standing up for a full set just hits me in the knees and low back, as Art Ritus once observed.

Should I be with someone who's had lots of pervious partners?

thanks for reading (i'm sorry this is a little bit of a sensitive topic, though i'll try to be gentle.).

a little back story.

i have been working so hard to build my faith this year, and i am finally at the point where i am beginning to trust god and i want to build an unbreakable relationship with him.

Sex is just sex, and "social diseases" are just part of the party decorations. Besides, no one lives forever!
Is your pervious friend honest? Would that friend tell you if she had transmittable STDs?
Maybe in the heat of lust that doesn't matter to you now, but in two months when fire comes out when you piss, you might find you have a different view.
On the other hand, maybe you like a nice BBQ'd groin roast?
Who am I to judge? No one; so I won't. "Do as thou wilt is the whole of the law."
Just be sure to ask only your free-lovin' friends to help with the bandages. I'll be washing my feet that day.

My suggestion would be to diligently avoid pervious partners!

Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?
by TerryWalstrom in

banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

Excellent! EX-cellent!!
Here in the USA some departments get training in the "P.I.T. manuever" (Pursuit Intervention Technique) which is a way that the police car can hit the rear of the criminal's car to send it spinning out-of-control.
Sadly because the criminalss are inside their car, there are seldom serious injuries to the criminals.
Let's see,shall we?

Guys... guys! This was posted in "Jokes & HUMOR"! Lighten up a bit!
I thought it was amusing wordplay, not a theological tract.

Do you celebrate Christmas?

do you celebrate and how long have you been out?

3 years for me and yes i do..

Many have said that they just can't be bothered. I understand that.
If a person is raised JW, the holidays of Christendom have as much emotional context for them as the holidays celebrated by South American headhunters or the residents of ancient Tartessos.
Zip, Zero, Nada.
This is no shortcoming on their part - it is an example of how cultural heritage can pass along buckets of nothing.
