Hi AMO from another non JW aethiest who made the big mistake of falling for a jw, got heart broken, then got totally shunned literally overnight blah blah blah. Some amazing people on this site and some of the storys make me feel very humble and some very sad - but some have a brilliant sense of humour(outlaw) but I still come here and have even given some advise by pm so as a certain big supermarket says, every little helps!! Will hurt for a while but will get better!!

If a non-JW receives a pamphlet from a JW, then tosses it in the trash bin after reading it, he has rejected "The Truth" and will be destroyed at Armageddon.
by Calebs Airplane inhow many here have heard such utter stupidity??.
several years ago, during field circus, i was covering a seldom-worked territory which was a community of mostly busy working class people who usually sprung out of their homes every saturday morning to do grocery shopping, run errands, etc.. only a few would start their saturday morning doing yard work washing their cars, walking their dogs, etc.. but we would frequently catch most of the house-holders on the way out, getting into their cars.. so, needless to say, the use of pamphlets was prevalent in that territory.. on that saturday morning, i mentioned to the elder who had been paired up with me that most of these people are so busy that they probably just toss these pamphlets in the trash without ever reading them.. his response to this was something like: "well i hope they're not doing that.
that would not be a good idea.".

I would not take anything and even if I did by accident I would not read it and put it straight in the bin so yes I am prepared to take my chances!

One day brother ******* you will be found out, smoking, associating with "worldly" people, drinking, swearing, not forgetting the lying and being unfaithful! What a good little COBE you are! Such an inspiration to your flock! Now where did I put those photos.....

Life Never Ceases To Amuse Me, What Is My Role?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini get a letter from a long lost family member requesting money to help someone who helped destroy my relationship with my father before he died.
dad believed the lies this drug addict spread, and i was out of state on business.
most of my life this person has brought nothing but evil and caused many problems that will never be solved in this world.

Totally agree with Satanus. Why open up a can of worms? Do it once they will think they are forgiven and probably keep coming back for more. Been there done it - just ignore them or if they persist tell them firmly no and not to contact you again. Delete any emails/texts and ignore calls. Best scammers/con men (or women) use the guilt trick. They are scum! Rant over...

Shunned by ex-jw's
by Joey Jo-Jo inthere seems to be a double standard among ex-jw's who believe and practice christianity.. i have lost 3 subscribers from my youtube channel all because of speaking my mind, it was not invasive or rude, but my last two videos appeared to have offended them.. so what happened?
as an atheist i raised some issues regarding the mind set of christianity that it borrows from jw's, in other words i was showing christian ex-jw's that they are behaving just like jw's.
the double standard is simple to grasp:.
