i left around a decade ago, life has not been easy, but it has been profoundly better than the jw robotics my earlier life chapters resembled.. my current life was going so well, too well...... and finally the nemesis of jahooha came out from his dark hiding place.
no longer in gods tent i was as vulnerable as the chinese job and his unfortunate sheep and children.. satan, bless his socks of cotton, has finally attacked, he broke my leg the dark lordy bastard.. a spiral fracture of the fibula and various fractures the ankle joint.. the worst of all his evil doings was the story i have to tell people, it's 'mechanism of injury'..... i slipped on some grass.
yes the devilish ball rash, got me good.. so now, i sit bored, wishing i had meetings to prepare for, talks to write and i long for the live bombing i would have received as an interesting new kingdom hall event in the decades of waiting on jahooha..... but all i have is some lame ass, american apostates on a forum..... tchhhh.... .
I'm sorry that Satan had his way with you, Snare, but you've got to come up with a better story. If you are going to give Satan credit for your accident don't insult him with "I slipped on the grass." Come up with something exciting.
How about you were skydiving when your parachute failed to open all the way. A tree broke your fall and so you came out of it with only a fractured leg. There, that's better.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
if you could use a good laugh please have a look at page 7 of the july 2015 awake.
my wife leaves the latest issues on my pillow when she gets back from her meetings.
i often scan through them looking for nonsense.
FTB, "My wife leaves the latest issues on my pillow when she gets back from her meetings."
I can't think of a more effective buzzkill!
i note stillin has had a recent problem with this.
i also know of two cases were an elder went through a brothers phone to get dirt on him.
and another were a sisters email was hacked into to get dirt on her.. in both cases apparently it was for their spiritual protection (!

john hoyle--jws go knocking on strangers doors and try to get inside homes to preach.. wt rep--we are slowly moving away from that kind of preaching work, we do more preaching by using literature carts and personal telephone calls.. .
the above quote is from john hoyle's website:http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine/phone-calls-to-bethel-jw-org-email-and-contacts/.
it's interesting, isn't it?
Orphan crow makes excellent points.
If I were still "in" I would be THRILLED if dtd were "optional"
The masses will be relieved that it is so much easier to be a JW these days. I hate to say it but I think it is a smart move by the WTBT$.
don't post much lately, but wondering what folks are watching.
i'm enjoying the heck out of "penny dreadful", "outlander", and "grace and frankie".

it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

"Tell her you are sick and she will tell everyone you have a STD. Tell her you are doing well and she will say you are consumed with material things."
Precisely! When I became a reg pious-sneer. there was no praise no complement. She said, "I was a SPECIAL pioneer." I couldn't even pioneer as well or suffer as much as SHE.
And speaking of compliments. Not only did she never GIVE any she would try to torpedo any given to me in her presence. For example, if a person would say to mom, "You have a nice little girl." she would say, "If you saw her at home you wouldn't say that." If someone said, "Your daughter looks like you." She said, "She looks like her father." Etc. etc. my entire life. Exactly the same with MIL.

"Are you actually a third gen witness?"
Yes. My father was born in 1907. His mother (who died before i was born) became a Russellite about 1900.
My mother was born in 1918 to a father who became a Russellite in 1914. In my case a generation was nearly 50 years! LOL

paulmolark, I'm glad you went into more detail about your childhood, her letters her slander etc. It flushed out her character or should I say lack of it. It made me ponder my and hubby's parents who had many things in common with yours.
One of the conclusions I came to is that this phone call was a result of her wanting to APPEAR to the audience she had in her house that she was taking the high road to invite you back to the borg. The truth is she was using the occasion to intentionally publicly humiliate you. She knew full well you would have a negative reaction to her call. She wanted to use that to garner SYMPATHY from the crowd. Poor me. my child is such a bad JW, is neglectful, mean, yada yada.
How do I know this? Hubby and I had dealt with mothers with similar pathology. It's a form of Munchausen's syndrome for attention and sympathy. They frequently would save their cutting remarks, put downs, and embarrassing stories for the Kingdom hall, the family, even strangers. If they run out of insults they use out and out lies. They love the DRAMA.They get some sort of sick pleasure watching your public humiliation.
my 2 cents from a fellow survivor.
