Seen smoking a cigarette

by Godsendconspirator in

i won't say i got "caught" because that would imply i was keeping my habit hidden.

i'm tired of constantly doing that with these guys.

yesterday, my friend and i were waiting for some people and decided to smoke a cigarette to pass the time.

I won't say I got "caught" because that would imply I was keeping my habit hidden. I'm tired of constantly doing that with these guys. Yesterday, my friend and I were waiting for some people and decided to smoke a cigarette to pass the time. 2 jdubs walked by and saw us. these 2 are always preaching together and I guess they were out for some street work. Normally they would stop me like they always do, ask how I am, say they "miss me" and I'd try to be polite as possible to leave the conversation. Instead they said hi, shook my hand and left. It was the funniest thing to me how a little cigarette that I bought from the store for 50 cents scared them off so easily. I saw that they crossed the street and started walking the opposite direction. My friend said that one of them kept trying to look over to us. That same one passed by us again in 10 minutes, this time: no eye contact, no words. Exactly how I wanted.

I'll behave how I want in my own freaking neighborhood and it's nice to feel that freedom again. I wasn't born in but lived in the same area my whole life and it feels liberating to feel like I have complete control over my life again. I'm not nervous over any shepherding call that may come. Luckily I have no family in the organization and was able to built up my friendships with people I almost threw away years ago and able to let go of the friends I thought I had in the borg.

To all my congregation Elders :

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

thank you for coming to my house so often because you were so concerned about me missing so many meetings.. ( actually, the only time you visited was when the circuit and district overseers were in town.

you really showed them how concerned you were about your sheep.

i now know that it is more of a duty than a concern.).

Godsendconspirator

Every single witness I see on the street.

Them: "Hey, we've missed you."
me: "You can text me."

Now I don't even say that. I'm tired of saying that. It's now more like this:

Them: "Hey we've missed you."
me: "yea"

WTBT$/JW's = AMWAY/MLM Schemes

by Darth Fader The Sequel in

jw
friends

all of the wts tactics and procedures are based off of your most basic mlm (multi-level marketing) schemes.

take your pick of amway, or any of the other vitamin or financial mlm's.

they all work the exact same way.

Godsendconspirator

I remember attending a few Amway meetings. I got the exact same creepy feeling as the Jdubs. The lovebombing, the talks, everyone in suits and loaded language. It felt exactly the same.

What products have you bought that exceed your expectations?

A duffle coat. First time I ever walked out in 30 degree weather and feeling completely comfortable.

Boredom - Solitude - Drugs - Philosophy.

by objectivetruth in

not a good combination..

Godsendconspirator

Sounds like a great night to me as long as the drugs are moderate. Last week I ran into a brother after I finished smoking some weed. It was weird

YOU 'THINK' YOU ARE FREE when you leave the Org. . . but it can be an ILLUSION

by Terry in

jw
friends

did you know there is nothing more insane than being partly indoctrinated and partly free?.

the level of cognitive dissonance is ridiculous!.

i have told this story before, so i'll shorten it to cut to the chase.. in 1987, i was dating a professional psychotherapist with a view to marriage.

Godsendconspirator

I've done that to people plenty of times. Now whereever I go, I just leave out that information as if those years never happened and I don't know anything about the bible. It also saved me from stressful conversations.

THE REALITY OF REFUSING BLOOD - as it happened

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

over the past couple years i have watched three young jw woman give up thier lives rather than accept blood.

the last was a new mother in her late 20s.

this is her story, as it unfolded on facebook:.

Godsendconspirator

Damn. This is why I left the watchtower organization. And no funeral either? I know it was her choice but I feel like it was partly influenced by the organization seeing how they never respect or see a funeral as anything but a chance to preach.

If you are having problems or lacking joy, then the flow of Holy Spirit in your life is lacking!

by stuckinarut2 in

yes, this comment was just made by the speaker today!:.

"if you find that you are lacking in joy or experiencing problems in life, this is evidence that jehovah's spirit is lacking or being blocked in your life".

i sat there thinking "are you kidding me brother?...

Godsendconspirator

Evidently, if you lack JOY or experiencing PROBLEMS in life, it's also because Satan knows you're doing the "right thing" and putting trials before you. I was told to be appreciate my depression for that reason. A whole lot of bullshit right there.

Kingdom chorus

by looter in

so im at the meeting after its over and this elder says to me that god needs my voice because he, the elder, feels that my singing is not loud enough.

i did not tell him this, but singing just is not my thing.

he then went on saying how gods people are better singers than "the worlds singers".

Godsendconspirator

I would have said yes. Your lyrics make you a bad lyricist, not a bad singer. Terrible analogy.
