i am sorry i haven't replied and if it seems rude.
but people keep asking me what happened and i am not sure what to say.
thanks for writing anyway.
I must admit when I read your goodbye post a few years back I was floored. Mainly because it was out of the blue. You do not owe an explanation but I had wished that you stuck around and said what convinced you they had the truth or at least replied to a few comments before completely cutting us off. I often wondered if that post caused any others to return to the organization.
Anyways, I thought about you from time to time. Glad you're back!!!
i haven't been on here for so long.
peeking in to say hello.
any old friends here?
this is not meant to be a controversial discussion, but just mentioning what has happened to my daughter.. i personally started my fade early this year 2015, it has resulted in my losing all my so called jw friends and the brake-up of my marriage.
when i split up with my wife, she asked our daughter who she would like to live with, my daughter decided to live with me, and also abandoned the cult.. recently my daughter told me that she is very disappointed with the congregation of jehovah's witnesses because she thought she had friends there, but now she has realized that it was all conditional, not a single one of them has even remotely tried to keep contact with my daughter, she is 15, not baptized and never a publisher.. now yesterday she met up with a jehovah's witness friend who is in another congregation.
this friend is also 15, baptized since she was 14, a very dominant elder father, and has virtually no association outside jw circles, and also internet access is banned at home.
it was always boring, and i was afraid that i was gonna get attacked by a dog.
i actually almost got attacked by a rottweiler once.
i didnt get paid for it, nobody listened to us, i actually had guys make passes at me while i was out doing street corner, i was always afraid i would get grouped and raped.
So basicly, Jehovah sends witnesses out to preach but if Jehovah kills them during the Big A it isn't his fought but the JWs! Lol lmao so can we conclude that Armageddon will happen because Jehovah's witnesses did poorly in field service and did not do enough preaching to save lives.
Jehovah says to his "JWcult" YOU MADE ME KILL EM!

just wanted to say happy thanksgiving to all!!!!
i love celebrating holidays now... even though all my family wont be there:( hoping one day they will see the "light.
" maybe the " light will get brighter" and the jw will have a new understanding that everthing has pagan origins and its all about family on holidays.
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.
You're what witnesses call bad association! You can't partake of Jehovah's table and the table of demons. You are lukewarm and Jehovah will spit you out! Take your stand for Jehovah today. You're doing too ,much independent thinking and that's going to be your down fall! Just follow the faithful slave. The end is sooooo close..like tomorrow or the day after tomorrow type of close!
Holy spirit keeps the congregation clean and will bring your bad behavior to the attention of the brothers and they will deal with you! BOY oh Boy, how I love Jehovah for keeping his congregation clean! :-)
does anybody have any tips for conversation starters to covertly feel out someone in the cong that you suspect is a "knower" about ttat?.
any success or experiences to share?.
like this perhaps?
it is pretty cool after all... .
(i took both of these pics and the difference was, well, obvious!).
