I feel sorry for you Mark. You don' t seem to know whom you are. You are not a Jehovah's Witness, because surely they would not use crude terminology, as you have? Further, Jehovah's people love disfellowshipped ones, in fact didn't you know? that's why they shun them- its all out of love Mark. So a true JW wouldn't speak so rudely and coarsely and neither would he be on this site in the first place. Here's my advice, pray for forgiveness and go prepare your watchtower, because we want you to stay in the organisation for a very long time!

Our Letter to Our Family
by What Now? inour families have cut off contact with us for the last several months.
they found out that we were celebrating holidays with our non-witness family.
our families were our last tie to the organization, as our former friends stopped associating with us about 3 years ago.

Great story! I've had a good laugh too! What a perfect reaction to these idiots!
Even Jehovah has a beard in their rev climax books! Naughty him!

January jw-tv broadcast with Lett
by bohm inlett is back with a vengance!.
* the last money-begging effort increased donations by 15% for two months; a letter by a 13 year old who donated is read out loud.
* since last may "so many good things have happened".

Yep we are making cuts at bethel, sacking bethalites, printing less of the magazines that we already cut in half, we are sacking special pioneers- all so that we could spend more of your donations in the field.
This does make sense.
You will trust us.
We are the Borg.

So my best friend was reinstated last night
by LexIsFree inso my best friend, who also happens to be my brother-in-law, was reinstated last night.
i had an idea he was trying to make his way back to the cult since i had been texting and calling him for about 2, 3 months now and no response.
i wasn't shocked when he text me this morning to tell me the news.

Hi Alex, sorry you're having such a bad day mate. I just read your opening post and can see that you have made some good life choices since leaving the Borg, I feel sure there will be better days than this one ahead. Until then we genuinely feel your pain mate. John. -

Feeling rejected
by Esmeralda001 injust a little disclaimer: english isn't my first language (i'm from france) thus the poor writing skills.here is the situation: i'm not a jw.
however, i'm in the process of becoming one.
in fact, i'm studying with the jw's, and i'll proceed to become an unbaptized publisher as soon as i finish the first book.to make a long story short i was introduced to the truth when i was 18een.

You said your friend 'warned you that JW's tend to overanalyze one another'- you then experienced that your friend was accurate. What good would moving congregation do? You now know that JW's have a tendency to act like the Pharisees, whatever congregation you move to you will again experience this fruitage of the JW organisation that you were forwarned of.
Indeed, read some articles on the JWfacts website. God will not be angry with you for analysing the facts about this Organisation.
Your English is excellent, better than many of us natives!

by Tornintwo inhttp://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/downloadfile.ashx?guid=359d7249-0d4f-4c51-9265-1c40aa6b3b21&type=transcriptpdf&filename=submissions-of-senior-counsel-assisting-the-royal-commission&fileextension=pdf.
just having a quick read through, the findings are damning.
mr toole is being reported to the law society of australia.... a few highlights so far:.

2.2 Data on reporting to police 61 The analysis conducted by Royal Commission staff showed that of the 1,006 alleged perpetrators of child sexual abuse identified by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation in Australia, not one was reported to police or other secular authority by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation (including by elders within the organisation).132 With reference to the files, no instance was identified by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation of an allegation having been reported by the organisation to the police or other authorities
Just unforgivable!!

Many of us have been exposed to graphic pictures/discriptions of Armageddon and the destruction of society since we were babies! It would only be natural to feel fear at times. Its good to let rational thinking win over though. Is it reasonable that a God of love would slaughter billions of men, women, children and babies? Simply for not converting to the WT organisation? No its not. In such circumstance God, Jesus and his sword bearing angels would make these terrorists of IS look like saints!
I recommend reading the Armageddon section on JWfacts to unravel yourself from this evil teaching. As long as you feel fear every time a bad thing happens in the world watchtower is happy.

Fade Away Music Video, Randy M's Daughter...great song, great voice
by goingthruthemotions ini want to share this music video i came across while surfing youtube, this song is just a great song and it expresses how jw's are such fake people and fake friends.

Sub CO and Wife, both Reg Pioneers, go back to NC to live with his Parents
by James Jack inthis couple both in their mid 30's, lived with me for awhile and i gave them employment, because they are both regular pioneers and married right out of high school, also because i am that kind a of guy that likes to help people.
various friends have been helping them out for years, so i guess it was my turn to help them out.. the brother got stupid with me, so i told him i had enough of them both and that it was time for them to go elsewhere.. the co loved them so much, the pioneer elder was made cobe in another congregation and a sub co. the brother also got to conduct pioneer service school.
(so he is a hot shot now).

I remember in my old congregation a pioneer brother who was often commenting about how Jehovah always provides for him...he has been living on benefits for years! Yep Jehovah provides- through the state welfare system!
