No real friendship in JW's NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE WENT THRU!!!

was talking with blackman the other day and reflecting on our past and we were discussing some trials we went thru together, namely bethel.

our friendship has endured thru days of pioneering together, bethel and now full fledged post jw apostasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1.

what we were talking about was other friends of ours who went thru and endured some severe bullshit at bethel.

Everything in the JW world is coditional. Love, friendships and families sticking together. I have unconditional love for my 2 kids. No mater what awful thing they might do when they get older, I will still love them. I will be digusted by any bad act they may commit but still love them. My love for my wife is conditional and hers for me Im sure. The condition that we remain faithful to eachother for instance.

I suppose my love for my mom and sister is a bit conditional. Whether or not they choose to have anything to do with me because of this cult is up to them. I will still love them but I will not waste my time on people who treat me like shit. My sister has already told me she still loves me but it will be different now. I see now her love for me was based on the condition that I remain a JW. As for the rest of my "friends" (all the ones I had when I was IN) there are 2 that have almost no contact with me anymore. Thats their choice. I will and have made new friends. Their friendship was also a condition of the cult.

I won't waste my time on people who waste my time.

00DAD - Yes he is a really great friend with a lot of good qualities. This is actually the only negative thing about him that I can think of. Im just pissed and sad about this one fact - HIS WIFE IS A BI%$H. He's a lot of fun. Shes wasnt so bad when I was IN but then again I never saw this side of her when I was IN.

What to do when JWs come knocking

by tornapart in

found this.. it's really funny.

some good ideas for those of you that want to get rid of them.

not so good if you're a fader and still have to knock on a few doors... .

Or tell them... "No thanks, We're all stocked up on crazy beliefs here"

I love this one the most...

Open the door, and stand on one leg, with your hands pressed against the side of your face. Offer no explanation for this. When you get bored, fall forward out the door onto them.

notjustyet - lol. I'm sure she will.

think about it - Yes it is. I put worldly in parenthesis becaus it was all my mom would use to describe anyone nonJW. I used it alllllllll the time when I was IN and now use it mockingly. My wife however doesn't use it and doesn't seem to like the word which is nice.

cobaltcupcake - This is what I hope she realizes... and I think she does. I would have never guessed they were as nice as they are if I didn't wake up. They are not all out for themselves, mean, evil or immoral people as the WT would love you to believe.

00DAD - That is what I have told my wife in the past. He has no balls. Their in his wifes possession all the time. He is one that I think will never care to awaken. He's still a good friend but has no backbone...yet. Yes it does feel overdue.

rebel8 - Yes it is very silly now that we've been woken up. Not so silly when your in. Its comforting when you let a group of mentally/socialy retarded people do your thinking for you.

My wife and I were invited to dinner by a coworker of hers. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to go because the place they were going was where her best friend from the kingdumb hell works. It was a big group of “worldly” people. I wanted to go to meet new people. It was a big restaurant and the likelihood of us being seated in her section was low.

We went and yup we got seated in her section. A little background. I am good friends with her husband. He is the only one from the hall that will have anything to do with me but on a very limited basis. His wife- the server- doesn’t like that I left and wont let him hang out with me when she’s around and gives him a hard time when she finds out we did hang out.

It was fun and both my wife and I enjoyed ourselves. About 30 min in my wife turned to me and said “Does she (the server) seem up set?” I said “Yeah she does. She doesn’t like me and is probably upset seeing you with a group of worldies.”

This morning my wife is going to the 2 day assembly and will see her – server- there. I think she is a little apprehensive as to what the server will say to her about all this. I’m just happy my wife is expanding out. I am really trying hard to get her to see TTATT and have her lead a “normal” life. She has already expressed to me that she takes a lot of the teachings of the WTBTS with a grain of salt. I think she’s in for her mom and some of her friends. This is just one more step in her eventual awakening… hopefully.
