  Witnesses really hate it when you appear to leave.

  i have a certain customer, whom we will call sally.

  i know sally only by face and only through work.

  i am a truck driver on a local dedicated route, and i often deliver to her work.

  Just make sure you get her a christmas card :D

  I always sneak a little bit of tinsel into my Mother's house at xmas and hang it somewhere she'll find it later. Gives me a perverse pleasure and she does see the funny side.

  Why so few XJWs online?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  not too long ago, i posted a topic where i pointed out that there are about 1 million xjws alive right now.

  that number only represented the disfellowshipped ones... didn't account for those who had become publishers and left or anyone else who got hurt by that group by proxy.

  so, why are there so few of them online?

  JW organization loses significantly more Witnesses to apathy than to apostasy.

  That, in a nutshell.

  Thinking of the harm all of these people have suffered (and they suffered plenty),

  I appreciate that there's those that did suffer harm, but I would say a large number, perhaps even the majority (including myself) don't view themselves as having suffered any harm. They simply don't believe it any more, either as they matured in adults or as they came to see things differently.

  What did you regrettably not do because you were a Jehovah's Witness ?

  by minimus in

  jehovah's witnesses cannot do a lot of things.

  i remember pioneers having to quit their jobs because they could not work in a convenience store and sell cigarettes.

  i know of a young man who was offered a scholarship to any college or university if he wanted to go to because of his football abilities.

  ....I wouldn'the have met my future wife who worked there at the time.
  

  At least something good came of my path out of the cult.

  Similar to me. And that's one of the reasons I can never be overly annoyed about my childhood as a witness.

  Don't Feel Like I Have Much In Common With Anyone I Know

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  went out with my family and all they talked about was how terrible trump is and how he'll surely bring the great tribulation.

  then they started going on about people supporting trump showing that america is becoming racist.

  i don't consider myself a trump supporter but i disagreed that that was the reason why he won.

  I think most fundamentalist christian sects lean towards the right wing. Even among a lot of exJWs, right wing tendencies seem the norm.

  Any serious operation is more risky if replacing blood loss is not an option, both during the operation and during post op care.

  How on earth is it accomplished?

  Carefully, I would imagine.

  Perhaps they camouflage the carts.
