i'm just curious but has anybody meet some one on jehovahwitness-net who they knew in their jw lives.
just want to hear experiences.
please include the indicators that led up to you identifying each other, and how you eventually revealed yourself.
My uncle-in-law used to post here. He started sometime in 2003 I think. When I was in he was careful not to say too much against the ORG. Now that I’m out, we talk regularly. I go back and read his posts sometimes.
Anyone from Kennewick Washington area… Tri-Cities? I would be curious if there were any from the area I grew up in from the late 80s to early 2000s?
an elder called and left me a voicemail today.
he wants me to call him back at my convenience.
lol.. its been almost 2 years since he last tried to contact me.
They aren’t giving up yet. At 9:45am just now they knock on the door. I didn’t answer. It was an “elder” I know and one other guy I don’t know. We have Christmas decorations up. The TV was blaring and when I looked out the peep hole we made eye contact. When I used to go out in service, I would keep looking at the peep hole to see if there is movement. Im sure he saw the light flicker when I looked through the hole.
If I continue to ignore their calls and knocking on our door, will they leave us alone? Mrs. Dazed doesn’t want to lose contact with her mom. She fears this may happen if anything is perused. What would you recommend?
wondering what to make of this youtube channel.
looks like it could be put out by wachtower.

i posted - jwfacts.com - on their "discussion" board. I wonder how long until it's removed.
any one out there doing field service?
i have not gone out on that day in years.
and have no intention of ever doing that again.
Watching my beautiful kids open their first ever Christmas presents. I will spend Christmas Eve putting together a kitchen play set for my daughter, and then loosely wrapping it so she can easily tear into it- she’s a year and a half. Then after the presents are opened, I will probably set up the Wii U I got for my son… Shhhh…he doesn’t know… and play Zombie-U and the new Mario Brothers game with him until we go to Mrs. Dazed’s sisters house for ham and turkey dinner. Eat way too much and come home and pass out.
I can’t believe your “loving” eldumasses want to ruin the mornings of so many people. If I remember right, each hall I was in – in the past – would always be mindful not to disturb people on their “worldly holidays.” It would be the least affective day for service. “Yeah, lets go piss off more than the usual number of people by ruining their holiday celebrations…YEA!”
If a local elder or group came knocking on my door Christmas morning, I’d want to punch the guy out.
i was always told it was satan and his demons making people think they exist.
not sure.
i always thought the guy that excavated king tutenkahmun had a curse on him though.. .
RIF- Are sharing The Smiling Man story as if it was your own experience?
Funny / creepy short film about it.
an elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.
a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.
a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.
Take jgnat's advise and run with it. At least get a consultation.
What a POS group of elders.
i am very interested in hearing from people who really think that people with tattoos are somehow weird or cagey individuals.
i would just like to get your outlook on this matter.
today i was in a grocery store and i sawe this guy with his two kids and his wife shopping.
Adamah -
I see a lot of the memorial here in Denver too. Everywhere. Not sure but I think its primarily the Hispanic culture that does it here, at least the ones I see regularly.

I got one when I left that has special meaning for me and my family. It’s on my forearm. It’s a constant reminder of the reasons I remain sober.
I have thought about getting more, but I want one that has special meaning before I settle on another. I was 29 when I got my first. I can see people getting them younger having ragrets…
10 years ago i stopped attending jehovah's witness meetings for good.
walked out of the kingdom hall cold turkey never to return based on injustices i observed among others and myself at the hands of elders giving out not god's counsel but personal opinions as counsel .
some of them weren't even giving out wt society counsel- just personal opinions.
Thank you Flipper for writing your opening post. Your first point about how “special” JW’s are-NOT. I wish I realized this sooner. I truly believed all the spoon-fed crap I was forced to eat from birth until I woke up over 2 years ago at 28. This was the one thing that apparently my wife, also born in, could never buy. This is what made it easy for her to leave after I left. She told me how she always felt it was so “arrogant” to think WE are the only people the have the “whole truth”.
It is so hard, but I try not to dwell on the past but try to look forward to the future. I am happy I got out safe with my wife but especially happy I got my 2 kids out long before they would remember any of it (son now 5 and daughter almost 2).
I never had a dad in my life growing up, but I had a “father-like” figure close to me. Even though we’ve never me, when I read your posts, I am reminded of that father-like figure I always looked up to. Thank you for what you bring to the table here at JWN
it seems in most congregations there is always the same personality types of brothers and sisters in each congregation.
self righteous ones.
holier than thou, exemplary, with dc/ca parts every year family.
The : Lets invite A B but not C. We are going to drink way too much for C. “We don’t wanna stumble anyone” while we get sh*t faced. This happened on several occasions.
