hey there all you singles.
it's that time in the show where we all sign in and tell a little about ourselves.
i guess i will get the ball rolling here.. my name is stephanie.
Wow the original post was from 18 years ago! She is my age now, I wonder what ever happened to her. If you are out there can you possibly give us an update? I only wish I had woken up at 20 instead of 35!
@ wakemeup I actually used that website & met my husband on there! Hilarious given the predicament I am in now...
(On JwMatch not this forum. I was still mentally in back then)
it's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.
i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?
because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.
@jp1692 It's an indoctrinated phobia.-Thank you for the links, I think many of us have felt this way at one point or another.
@sarabethy- I think its great what you are doing for your community.!

do you believe that the king of glory is present, and has been since 1874?… this is the day of all days.
behold, the king reigns!
@dougmason, thank you for the reference. And I agree with you about the New Light. Some people choose not to think critically or for themselves as God, I mean the GB looks down on independent thinking.

@vidiot, Good one! Sadly this is is how everyone I've tried to reason with respond. There is no getting through to people like this.

LizD thank you for sharing your story and being so brave!
if you haven't seen will forte's "the last man on earth" on amazon prime, do as its really funny.
the setting of the story is that 2 years prior a virus has killed all humans except one.... amongst the high jinks are the struggles he has with things like; getting water from the water system when the areas water supply is no longer being maintained, ditto sewerage, not having ready access to fresh foods that require industry like butter and cheese, not having access to medical help, being unable to communicate with anyone outside of shouting distance, having no electricity / electronic appliances.. it's got me thinking, all the wt's illustrations show the time when armageddon is over as being really joyful and there being plenty for everyone.
but in fact that would just not be the case, especially since most jw's have no survival skills or expert knowledge of any kind.. jws just don't think about this, how are all those couples who are waiting untill the new system to have kids, going to have kids in a survival setting?
Jehover will take care of all of those things. It will be nothing but miracle after miracle. Just like what happened during and after the flood.
ps i agree good show!
roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

watchtower is not what it claims to be, this thread is for you.
Thank you so much for bumping this post. It must have been so hard to be so patient. All of those years. I wish I'd had the patience. Its hard for me to hold in things that I know about the society. I thought I was also planting seeds for the past year, but it didn't seem to work. I'm going to print this out and hopefully will be able to use some of your points down the line. Of course I'm not the husband/elder so there is only so much I can do before he tries to take his 'head of household' b.s stand.
