At the end of life I will go out happily knowing I won't have one of those crappy JW memorials.

Update and a Thank you!
by Darkknight757 ini wanted to say hello again and offer a big thank you to sites like this that have helped so many wake up to watchtower bs as well as offered the support that so many need after leaving the cult.
personally i have been learning more doctrinally with regard to the witlesses lately including more about their history.
"look behind to learn" was a recent theme of the j-dumb broadcast and they are right!

Good book if you liked the old "flip-flops paper that was written by a former poster here. It is a 430 page book written by a non-Jw.
In other news, the wife was finally given the go ahead to get prego!! So we are going to try to start a family again. We are quite a bit nervous considering everything that happened last year but happy nonetheless.
We are just trying to figure out this whole fade/ telling her parents thing. It would be nice to get the fact that we are leaving wt off our chest before getting pregnant to relieve that stress. Any suggestions?
We were considering just having them over for a meal and telling them how I woke up to wt by reading the bible.
Keep in mind July 26th please. It's Watchtower victims Memorial Day. Go to the site and download a fitting pdf, buy a dollar store teddy bear and leave it at a local Kingdumb Hell or a park or a bus stop near you. Just a little something to keep the dubs thinking. π
Thanks for everything again people. This is a great community!!
Cheers!πΎπΎπΊπ»

JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?
by KateWild ini saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

I would approach if there was one by me.
I would first ask if they are bible people. Of course they will say yes cause they are FDA's.
I would tell them I'm a man of science. Then I would tell them that I know who invented frozen vegetables.
They would be like, "Huh?"
I would tell them to read Genesis chapter one. God made green vegetation one creative day before the sun.
Then I would tell them I do believe in Jesus even though I also believe in science. I would ask if they believe that Jesus is their personal mediator?
They will say yes cause they don't know their own doctrine. (I have quote on my phone)
Then I would read 1 Timothy 2:5,6 and show them that the word "mankind" in verse 5 refers to all people not just their anointed followers.
I would probably finish up with maybe Proverbs 4:18 and show them they make their God to be a liar by saying he progressively reveals "truth" (ahem)

Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline
by slimboyfat ini was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.
until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.
but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

Since the introduction of table witnessing at my old hall, publisher hours and placements slowly declined. I think your on to something here. Nobody wants anything to do with the trash they are trying to sell and so the witlesses are becoming less active. As with the doors, they see for themselves the sheer number of people who are just not interested in the message.
For myself, before it was over I seen no reason to preach. It was a waste of time. Nobody cares what those stupid magazines or books say. And most people by now realise that the dumbs are a cult.

Feeling Sad After Uncovering TTATT
by pale.emperor inmy initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.
well, a lot of things really.
i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).

It's going to take time so just hang in there. You'll be angry, sad, depressed, anxious, and furious sometimes all at the same time. The pain does lessen some as time goes on.
Just remember: They are a criminal organization that is purposely taking people away from the Christian means of salvation in Jesus Christ. Everything they teach about him goes contrary to proper belief in Him. His death on the cross and not a torture stake, his ressurection in the flesh, he being one with The Father. JW's, according to the Christian means of salvation are bankrupt. They will lose out on their hope in the end.
Of course I think that religion is just a means to control people and it's all a bunch of horse shit.

I was visiting a prospective fade hall last night when an elder bad mouthed Terrell as to why he was being shunned.
I was thinking that the information he divulged to the entire congregation was confidential. He had a part earlier discussing that when you tell the elders something, it's kept a secret. So how was he able to divulge the reason for a person being df'ed to an entire congregation of 100 or so people as well as any that may have possibly been on the phones?

Do you work a lot of overtime?
by hoser inwhat is the normal attitude as to working overtime?
.
how many hours do you work in a week?.
-
Darkknight757
Currently 40 hours but we are slow. Typically it's a 50-60 work week depending on the load. At least in the machine trades.
The bros at my old hall never seemed to mind the OT as long as you put in that trusty 10 hrs a month.
