@sparky1 "What's next? Speaking in tongues?"
Rutherford was all over that:
my sister sent me this youtube.
in it are witnesses waving their phone lights and dancing in the aisles.

a year ago i had a rough time and posted this .
it was a controversial topic, some people got offended by my overly boastful tone, others offered help.
i appreciate any kind of opinion and i try to correct the flaws in my personality.
@DJS 500mg of Azithromycin should clear that pain all up for you ;).
i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.
but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.
we are not mindless automatons.
@Jrjw: "Think this so called faithful jw is deluded".
Sadly, aren't they all?
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/how-to-escape-from-jehovah-s-witnesses-religion#/.
for $150: collaboration with the backer so that their story of successfully escaping an abusive belief system (300 words max) features along with others in the final pages of how to escape from jehovah's witnesses.
the text will be written by the author but will include a minimum of one quote worded by the backer.
@dubstepped Fark. I need to get in the house cleaning biz too, then. Sounds like a lucrative gig you've got going on there, Mikey.

@DJS That's because you just saw "fk", "suck" and "lesbian" in my last comment.

@scratchme1010 Fkn lol. Would suck for you if you were a lesbian!
something just dawned on me today as i processed my assimilation into the real world (thanks to our new poster, @jester, giving me a major throwback to my first post).. when you're a jehovah's witness, you really are in some sort of la la land.
things which are perfectly normal are acts of eating from the table of the demons.
things which are horribly grotesque and extremely unjust are branded as "righteousness".
@sillygirlforgotpassword Some ex Witnesses suggest that the Governing Body are a bunch of bumbling idiots. I actually think they know exactly what they're doing. The amount of of calculated articles which follow a known pattern for effective propaganda is staggering.
Check out these photocopies and see the comparisons between what WT identifies as manipulation techniques that the "world" uses, and contrast that with photocopies of their own manipulation in action:

I think the sinister undertone of being a cult can be traced back to Rutherford's ascension to presidency.
@Jrjw We all felt stupid - I hear you. But out of eight million people, YOU woke up. I'd say that takes a mighty amount of perception and awareness on your part. Quite a long way you've come from the docile, unquestioning drone you were originally conditioned to be by the organization. Power to you.

I think this happy-clappy trend is nothing but a bit for WT to rebrand themselves and create distance from all the scandal and abuse that falls under the WT umbrella.
Sorry, WT. I don't care how much mayonnaise you use. You can never make chicken salad out of the pure chicken shit you've been dishing up for years.

@will-be-apostate You're doing great :). The training wheels are off! I'd say you've got more clout now than any 23 year old guy I know. There may be a few crashes here and there (no one can ride in a perfectly straight line), but it sounds like you've found a way to zig and zag your way gracefully through the social and dating scene. Keep us posted with your experiences and personal realizations as time goes on! This post was interesting!

Wow, and I always thought "I love you" was an instant boner killer.
I love how removed from the situation you've allowed yourself to be now. It takes balls to have enough insight to critique yourself from an objective perspective. I'm proud of you, @will-be-apostate. Only a truly confident person could have the gall to say, "hey, I was wrong." You've gone a step further to do it on a public forum! I like you already.
Not love.
Just like ;).
