this was taken in london yesterday by a twitter user still managing his fade so i can't be more specific than that.
disgusting.
I remember a trip to NYC with a JW family we were very close with.
On the way to a museum there was a homeless vet on a corner.
I gave the guy $10.
"My friend turned to me and said, why did you do that? He is just going to buy drugs with it. Your just feeding his habit."
It was all I could do to really lay into him. I said something like, he looked hungry.
being born in to me was devastating.
when you are a child born in and raised with the they vs us and they are evil and worldly and going to die.
not allowed to form relationships with anyone not one of you.
Personally, I think people do better if they look at things more holistically - you lost some opportunities, but you gained some things. Whether you allow the upbringing to define your life is a personal choice, it certainly doesn't have to.
I cant think of anything I gained in the 50 years of being in the clut, but I can think of many, many things I have lost.
i didn't see it mentioned here yet, but this week at morning worship in bethel it was mentioned that one of the women shot and killed in the virginia beach shooting was a jw.. rub a dub.
Where were they Angels?
Did they go to the privy?
But if a pioneer finds a shiny penny on the ground in service, it was Jahs blessing to them.
Notice it said "are you in a position of authority - at WORK or HOME"
Not at the Kingdom Hall.
Not by mistake I am sure.
As a group - JWs have always excelled at having Belief Amnesia".
I remember people being EXCITED when something the thought was "TRUTH" completely changes!
Imagine that happening in a NON religious organization? Consequences maybe?
thanks in advance....
I did see the full talk list out, but no files.
I would love to see them when someone finds them in English.
this stupid kid is 20 something going on 5yo.
she has to put her finger or tongue in everything.

I like her - and who cares?
just wanted to let everyone know that ex-jw amber scorch is on the daily show on comedy central tonight.
it should very good.
Her book is amazing!
I thought I would experience trigger after trigger, but the way she tells her story is fantastic.
Learning about the JW life in China is basically what I imagined, but of course never get any info on what goes on there.
I am not really into reading the stories of ExJWs - since I lived it (like most of us), but I recommend this one.
Has anyone else read it?

Was awesome! Just downloaded her book.
Wonder if I can read more than 10 pages at a time without going into a triggered depression.
She was also interviewed on NPR
Like:
"Hey Bro Elder, I wonder if the overlapping generations could be wrong? I just dont see it in the bible?"
- Ok let's talk about that at a Judicial committee to see if your an apostate.
"Bro Elder, what happened to us needing thousands of KHalls just a few years ago, and now they are all getting sold and congregations are being consolidated?"
- Are you listening to Apostates? Let's sit down with a couple other elders.
"Bro Elder, I don't understand why so many of our beliefs have changed back and forth so many times?"
- Are you saying you don't believe the light is getting brighter? Your are spiritually sick.
"Bro Elder, why did we have to build a new Bethel in NY, wasn't there enough land or space in Walkil, or Patterson?"
- We do what the GB tell us, they know best.
"Bro Elder, why do you think every year there are so many more anointed? And why did it take over 100 years for Jehovah to let the GB know that they alone are the FDS? Does that mean that some teachings I lived by for years were given to us by brothers who god did not approve?"
- That sounds apostate. Lets go in the back room.
