  Ex JW Down and Outs.

  by refiners fire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a large proportion of the ex jws i know and stay in contact with are pretty much down and out.. i stay in contact with 4 from my past.. out of the 4:.

  3 of them are long term unemployed.. 3 of those have psychiatric problems.. 2 of them dont have a stable relationship.. only 1 of them is a reasonable financial success.. my perception of the ex dub world is one of destroyed lives and, too a large degree, hopelessness.i base this perception on those ex dubs i know.

  course, they are all hard core apostates.

  The JWs set you up for failure if you leave. You can do a lot of drugs and screw around a LOT before you realize that you can think for yourself. A lot of my destructive behavior in my teen years was my unconsious self doing what was "expected" of me - killing myself with bad habits. It was like they were pointing at me and telling their kids "this is what happens when you leave Jehovah". The JWs always loved to ask my Dad what I was doing when the answers were juicy. Now that I am better off (wonderful husband, excelling in college at 24, great friends and most of all - HAPPINESS) than most of them, they don't want to hear about me.
  It's all about knowing what YOU need. Not what they tell you that you need.

  i am new here.

  tho i have lurked, this is my first real post.. i was doing "personal research" for the last 5 years, tho was helped along recently when i was deleted as an elder because i work for a company owned by a disassociated jw.

  there is no real definitive info in print, other than the infamous 9/15/81 wt, but the co held a mini-crusade and got me axed.. nothing personal,.... just business.

  Here's my 2 cents:
  My dad and his boss are best friends and JW. His best friend stopped attending meetings and doesn't believe any longer. My dad convinced him to just "drift" away so he doesn't get DF (and so he can continue to be friends with him and work for him). My dad says he doesn't know what he'll do if Troy gets DF'ed but at least he isn't going to automatically shun him.

  ok you slutty and independent slobs, pay attention.

  how many instances of loaded language and mind-control techniques can you spot in the following article from the may 2002 km?

  whoever gets the most wins a brown suit from goodwill.. modesty in dress and grooming- km may 2002.

  They approach the "modest dress" issue from the prospective of appearing different from the "world". The issue is a lot broader than that bullsh*t. What they really don't want is the ugly people to be more noticeable. If you dress everyone in lumpy poop-colored clothing, they ALL look ugly. And it shoots sex appeal right out of sight.

  Dateline story

  by Smitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we can probably forget the dateline story for a while.

  if it came out now, jw's would look like saints in comparison to the catholics.

  at least jw's delete the servants and not move them from congregation to congregation.

  Hi, I think Amazing's statistics are GRRRRREAT. It helps the less knowledgeable of us see the whole picture. Just my two cents...:)

  Okay, I got this in an email from a friend. It's pretty cheesy but fun. Who's got the worst name? Mine is Snotty Bubblebutt.
  Here's the email:
  Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to break up the day. Here is your dose...
  Follow the instructions to find your new name. The following in an excerpt from a children's book, "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants",
  by Dave Pilkey. The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names. It's a great book for little relatives.

  Use the third letter of your first name to determine your new first name:

  > > > a = poopsie
  > > > b = lumpy
  > > > c = buttercup
  > > > d = gidget
  > > > e = crusty
  > > > f = greasy
  > > > g = fluffy
  > > > h = cheeseball
  > > > I = chim-chim
  > > > j = stinky
  > > > k = flunky
  > > > l = booger
  > > > m = pinky
  > > > n = zippy
  > > > o = goober
  > > > p = doofus
  > > > q = slimy
  > > > r = loopy
  > > > s = snotty
  > > > t = tulefel
  > > > u = dorkey
  > > > v = squeezit
  > > > w = oprah
  > > > x = skipper
  > > > y = dinky
  > > > z = zsa-zsa.

  Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:

  > > > a = diaper
  > > > b = toilet
  > > > c = giggle
  > > > d = burger
  > > > e = girdle
  > > > f = barf
  > > > g = lizard
  > > > h = waffle
  > > > i = cootie
  > > > j = monkey
  > > > k = potty
  > > > l = liver
  > > > m = banana
  > > > n = rhino
  > > > o = bubble
  > > > p = hamster
  > > > q = toad
  > > > r = gizzard
  > > > s = pizza
  > > > t = gerbil
  > > > u = chicken
  > > > v = pickle
  > > > w = chuckle
  > > > x = tofu
  > > > y = gorilla
  > > > z = stinker

  Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:

  > > > a = head
  > > > b = mouth
  > > > c = face
  > > > d = nose
  > > > e = tush
  > > > f = breath
  > > > g = pants
  > > > h = shorts
  > > > i = lips
  > > > j= honker
  > > > k = butt
  > > > l = brain
  > > > m = tushie
  > > > n = chunks
  > > > o = hiney
  > > > p = biscuits
  > > > q = toes
  > > > r = buns
  > > > s = fanny
  > > > t = sniffer
  > > > u = sprinkles
  > > > v = kisser
  > > > w = squirt
  > > > x = humperdinck
  > > > y = brains
  > > > z = juice

  Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is Gober Chickenshorts.
  Bill Clinton's name is Booger Liverchunks.

  my story

  by spender in

  2. experiences

  hey everyone...i'm new here and i thought i'd give you my story.. i was raised in "the truth".

  my mother is still a witness of over 25 years, and a pioneer for over 10. my father is not in the truth.

  he was supportive of my mother in her pioneering and everything, and he used to come to meetings occasionally when i was younger, but started coming less and less until he only came to the memorials.

  Hi sweetie!
  I just finished reading "Crisis of Conscience" too, and just found this board a couple of weeks ago.
  You will definitely feel at home here.

  Hi and welcome!
  It's possible that the void you feel is just the absence of someone telling you what to think. If you relax and try to live life as a good person, you'll find your answers. And keep an open mind!
  Peace -

  I love Bob Dylan too! We saw him in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in October. It was a great show, we even got to sneak up to the top of the arena and say "high" to some fellow concert goers.LOL
