Man, I remember those days. They were painful.
I was an elder and my head would explode during meetings.
JW_Rogue's advice was great.
Hang in there, don't let them kick you our, just FADE.
it’s been very difficult, much more than i first anticipated to live a lie, (be pimo and a regular active member) i still live with my parents but i plan on moving out at the end of the year, so i really need to keep it together.
but i think people are starting to get suspicious that something is up.
i’ve stopped commenting, going on service all the time, talking at the door, and occasionally voicing something, such as a question that no one has a good answer for, that makes people think, but ahah, thinking is dangerous and wrong so that is suspicious of course.

jws are taught to think in a childish, simplistic and paranoid way.. the ticket to paradise includes a gory bloodfest of unimaginable proportions.
and jws calmly and unquestioningly trust and even look forward to this happening.. what about the morality of this unprecedented solution to mankind’s problems?
(there is evidence in the earth’s crust that noah’s flood never happened so it doesn’t count as a precedent).. sweep all of your problems under the biblical carpet and you know that god will sort it all out by the ultimate act of near total genocide—or not!
When I was an elder still (but already an atheist) I had a conversation with a good friend who was also an elder.
It was about a glib comment a sister made about how great it will be when god destroys all the wicked people.
I said - doesn't she know she is talking about her husband and grandkids too? And that about 200 million babies will be part of that slaughter!
My friend said - Jah wont kill any babies.
I was like - so 7 or 8 million of us "survivors" are gonna find and take care of 200 million babies all over the world?
Then he tried to say that - the WT never says babies will be killed.
I was speechless.
i went to a funeral yesterday and ran into a jdub.
of course, he approached me and it didn't take more than a minute into the conversation for him to get into the jdub gloom and doom mode.
he said that world conditions have never been as bad as they are now.. i looked straight into his eyes and said, "i think that world conditions were a lot worse during world war two.".
Wanna shut up a JW when he says that.
at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.
douglas quenqua is a writer based in new york.
his work has appeared in the new york times, wired, redbook, and cnbc.
Dagney! 100% right!
Leslie Stahl heard it right from Drups disgusting mouth.
He said he bashes the media constantly to make people not trust them.
Just like the GB.

See satan is attacking the slave.

Everyone run to the bunker!
in 1935 there were 63,146 who attended the memorial and 52,465 partook.
(proclaimers book page 717).
according to the bible teach book on page 78, it says, “since the days of the apostles, god has been selecting faithful christians in order to complete the number 144,000”.
Religion = BS no matter how you slice it.

The funniest part was that - Jesus the miracle worker - who ALL the jews were waiting for, could NOT scrounge up 144K followers in the 1st century.
Like god - a very bad salesman.
i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.
once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.
and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.
Yet with all the issue the WT faces, they still get a quarter of a million converts a year.
an eyebrow raiser to be sure.
i can understand the clergyman being so baptist that he'd still use the name jehovah since it was popular in english and german churches for a long time during and after the reformation, but 607?.
see ¶ 6 under the heading "the historicity of the book of daniel".
AWESOME DATA-DOG!!!!
it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
The GOP has shown just what kind of party they really are.
The elected someone JUST LIKE THEM.
