Interesting experience with my PIMI Father
by joe134cd inthis highlights just how flawed the jw thinking is.
recently, it had been arranged for another jw to take my father to the convention in a couple of weeks time.
a few days ago my father is informed that his ride has refused to drive him due to his underlying health conditions.

Yes, vigilante revenge actions are not the way to go. And these possibly false allegations against him won't help! He's in a very insecure situation.

Phizzy: "as long as I stocked the fridge with his favourite Bulldog Ale, and he was allowed to watch Cartoons on T.V, he was as happy as Larry !"
Sounds like someone I might get along with. Well, apart from the whole "Join us, or die!" thing π

A CO making fun of Jesus with the donkey quip? Quite a risk; he must have felt very secure in his position to be so flippant and entitled. Still, I suppose insulting Jesus is way down on their list of offences. Question the GB, on the other hand...
Foolednomore: how did the fight over college pan out?

It's interesting looking over these old posts. The list of petty rules and personal hangups is enormous! People who are still in or freshly out, are there any new examples you could add to this list?

Quora Spamming by JWs
by NotFormer insomehow quora got my email address.
i have a constant stream of unsolicited content turning up in my email.
the only way i found online to stop it is to block each quora address individually and it gets sent to spam.

Somehow Quora got my email address. I have a constant stream of unsolicited content turning up in my email. The only way I found online to stop it is to block each Quora address individually and it gets sent to spam. The stuff is relentless. I don't even have a Quora account. I just checked my spam folder after about a week and there were nine unsolicited, unwanted Quora Digest emails. About six were JWs asking questions that nobody asked, and then answering them.
Why am I getting so much JW content? It used to be all about Hitler and Stalin. Now it's about why JWs are right to shun, how Ray Franz was a power hungry social climber, and so on. It's all very annoying.
(I check my spam folder from time to time to check that nothing important accidentally ended up in there)

My goodness! Fourteen years since I began posting here...
by garyneal ini'm not sure if anyone remembers me since i do not post here much anymore.
i sometimes pop in around christmas time to see if anyone is interested in exchanging christmas cards like we used to back when i first posted on this site.
speaking of which, the holiday season will soon be upon us.. if you recall, i was married to a jehovah's witness and i had a daughter i spoke of a lot.

LongHairGal: it takes a special kind of killjoy to suck the fun out of life. The WT is especially adept at it. I've read lots of testimonies like yours about leaving the WT and being able to just let your hair down and enjoy a bit of fun with the broader community. It's a bit like leaving an abusive partner: a lot of people when they do so, their first actions are to do something that their abuser absolutely forbade or made a fuss about.

Agreed, ignore Sue. She doesn't represent the majority of people here. Many are exes who've been through similar difficulties to your own.
You have every right to try to protect your children from their entitled, controlling mother. She doesn't have their best interests at heart; she only cares about looking good to her congregation. The JWs are evil, so what is good in their eyes is usually evil.
Sue, blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. You came here looking for care and support, and now you just crapped all over someone who is in a similar situation. Pray that God doesn't judge you the way you just judged rathernotsay, the OP. π

From EasyPrompt's link: "Like the neighborly Samaritan in Jesus' illustration, we want to help suffering people, including those who are not Witnesses. (Luke 10:33-37) The best way to do so is by sharing the good news with them. "It is important to make clear right away that we are Jehovah's Witnesses and that our primary mission is to help them spiritually, not materially,"
Well, it looks like the meaning of the Good Samaritan story whooshed right over their heads; the Samaritan was considered the true neighbour because he provided material help, not because he preached anything. π
