New and improved?
by tenyearsafter ini have a family member who had been df'ed for 15 years or so...recently they reinstated as a jw.
when i asked what motivated them to make that decision, the response was to be able to see family and old friends.
they insisted that things were different now.

Money donated for a specific reason
by enoughisenough ini decided to do this posting because of some comments in the post about pensions.
in the mid to late 1980's there was a flood and the local kingom hall was damaged and many of the friends homes were damaged...groups came in to help repair.
my then mother-in-law literally lost everything-she had no home to repair...she had been renting a small trailer and it washed away.

We were down and out one time. But instead of asking for a hand out from people in the Kingdumb Hall. Every family member went out and got jobs. We never have been in need or had to had to have any help from others.

It's funny, When I was a Jw I was poor as dirt. Now that I'm out, I have abundance. I'm too poor to be a JW.

Watchtower loves to frown on any education, but when their azz is in a sling they want "educated " Brothers to bail them out for free. I don't understand that? I wonder if there is educated people helping them fall on their azz? Now that would be entertaining.

Elders won't tell you who have falsely accused you
by enoughisenough inhaving been a victim of this practice twice, i thought i would see if others had the same experience.
on one occassion, i was before the elders being told i was drunk on a certain day at a certain time.
( this was only brought up because when i was pushing for a meeting because of elder mr x adultery , i was threatened somethings would be brought out about me if i persued the meeting.

This is very common practice in their "Kangaroo Court" practice. I had three elders accused me of something in my own home office. Little to their known I had A lawyer working in adjoining room who over heard the conversation and stepped in. His first question to them was "Who the he'll are You?" Second question was " Who is this Accuser, so we can cross examine him?" My lawyer started to grill them. They could not take it and left.

Free Will - Does It or Does It Not Exist?
by truth_b_known inbeing born-in and raised as one of jehovah's witnesses i remember a common theme or phrases used by the watchtower in its theory of why things are the way they are -.
jehovah created humans.
jehovah created humans as free moral agents.

20 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses
by Vanderhoven7 ini don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.
that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.
unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

Arthritis pain. What works for you?
by Fisherman inthere are several prescription meds people use to relieve the pain of arthritis.
they work by suppressing the immune system or by reducing inflammation.
people also use otc anti-inflammatory pills, and even anti-allergy pills are reported to work because of being able to also reduce inflammation but people tell me that they are concerned to use some meds regularly because of potential side effects in long term use.

Turmeric seems to help. CBD helps. And of course THC helps too!

3 years in the making
by Judgerussellford inthursday while i was at work, a new elder stopped by the house (almost 3 years after fading) to encourage us to go back to meetings.
said everyone misses us.
if you did, why not stop by and say hi every now and then?

They(elders) are always dropping in for something. And I tell them the is no talking about my family or spiritual things anymore. They need to leave.
