The New Diary of Winston Smith

by WinstonSmith in

we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

@All or Nothing: Glad to hear that you are both out, it sure makes the post-exit life a lot easier. When the site changed from JWN to the new format, it seems to have messed up the format of the OP. Looks weird with no paragraphs!

@jp1692: Greetings!

@Magnum: Thanks for checking it out. I had a read through the whole thread last night and I am glad I wrote it all down at the time it was happening because there is so much that I have now forgotten! I will post an update on where things are at with us in due course.

Double Standards of the Watchtower

by Vanderhoven7 in

are you aware of any double standards promoted by the organization of jehovah's witnesses?

here a a few i am aware of:.

1. the wts equated joining the ymca with apostasy but felt free to join the un for 10 years (1991-2001).

When talking about bible studies who are facing opposition from their family for getting involved with the JWs, the July 2009 Awake on page 29 states:

“No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.”

They completely ignore this advice when it comes to people wishing to depart the organisation.

If growth is a sign of Jehovah’s blessing, what’s it called when numbers fall, buildings need to be sold off, and congregations need to be combined?

@Listener: Well hello there! I remember you from when I posted on here in “the old days”! How’s it going? What’s new? Last time I posted this site was the old JWN.

I picked up on the "whipped out a huge erection" comment the first time I watched it. When I finished I looked at the comments here to see if I had just been imagining things. It appears not.

I don't think it was included on purpose, and is definitely not what I would call subliminal, but it is there and is clear to hear. Surely it could be muted out in the same way off colour words are removed from news items etc.

To Bo and Juan, is there any more detail on the reaction of the guy that gave Bo the bible when he read Bo's card? Did he know who AAWA was or that at least Bo was what they would call an "apostate". Would love to have seen his reaction.
