a month ago i was reinstated as a jehovah’s witness.
he was not disfellowshipped.
in my meeting i was told that i could not become involved with the man that i committed a sin with, which is adultery once i’m reinstated.
Screw them. They make the rules up as they go, and you will find that no matter what you do, once they have you on their radar they will try to assert what little power they have over you and you will be driven hither and thither like a buoy driven by the waves of the ocean until they finally GOTCHA.
If you want to be their puppet you can choose to carry on, otherwise go live your life and BE HAPPY.
do you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?
if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

It's just a giveaway that they probably have chrome bull balls hanging off their pickup truck's trailer hitch
Not trying to hijack a thread, I went up to a guy and said, "You know what you find on either side of a set of balls? A prick or an asshole! Which are YOU?"
Feel free to delete this Simon if it crosses the line, I thought it was funny though.

A T-shirt that said "F*ggots and N*ggers should be kept in their place" will rightly be called out as un-American and receive condemnation for the shirt...This is exactly what that red hat means to many Americans.
Why do they equate a great America with "F*ggots and N*ggers should be kept in their place"? It sounds to me like it is the left's perpetual butt-hurt feelings and not reality. IMO

Should people be scorned for wearing an "Impeach 45" hat?
IDK, should they be harassed in public, called names, and subjected to bully tactics that would get any Trump supporter likely arrested?
BOTH sides of the aisle, particularly the leftist democrats, need to grow up and quit acting like three year olds who have been denied a candy bar in the grocery store.
hey guys, i've been pimo going on full inactive for a very long time, 5+ years.
pretty happy with the current situation.
over the years, i've gotten lots of grief from the local elders and cos for my inactivity, attending wordly public events and social media posts.
I wonder if serious financial donations would buy me leeway with the elders.
Sometimes. I have posted elsewhere about a personal experience I had. I mentioned one time long ago that I wished to marry. I was told, "Don't get married. Just purchase the services of a hooker. When you get back home tell the elders you made a mistake in a moment of "weakness" and make a large $$$ contribution to the local congregation. You will get off."
The guy that said that was doing just that, and got away with it, was promoted through the ranks and is now an elder who is still a drunk, and messing around on his second wife.

They will mark you at the very least if they know about it before you are married. Once married they can't do anything about it but they will still want to meet with you and when they do, do not meet with them.
/\ /\ /\ This. /\ /\ /\ Stay under the radar as much as you can. Don't give them ammunition to use against you. Use the same advice you would receive about dealing with cops. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. I am not yelling, just stressing how important it is to never say anything to the eldurrs. Avoid the eldurrs like you would a highly contagious person with a terminal illness.

I noticed this on JW Leaks: On 5 November 2013, Watchtower Australia sent out a body of elders letter instructing all congregations to form as independent legal entities and charities and to register with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission << ACNC >>. By the end of the month over 800 congregations within Australia had become their own legal entity trading under the business name “[NAME] Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.” Under this legal arrangement congregation records, including judicial records and membership records, are the property of the individual charity and not CCJWA.
It appears that along with destroying records they are continuing to attempting to insulate the upper echelons from the actions of the local congregations and throwing the local elders under the bus by making the claim of ignorance about what goes on locally. Sorry bastards!
i was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.
Too damned much!
At one time, after coming into a sizable chunk of change when I retired early, I wrote a check to be specifically applied to the KH loan pay-off. That was just about the exact same time powers-that-be in Crooklyn wrote off closed end loans in favor of their "contributions" in perpetuity scheme. Of course the mid five figure sum of money quickly disappeared never to be mentioned again.
Just recently as executor of my fathers estate I was unable to shelter his sizable financial investment portfolio before he died, and as a result the greedy b--tards in New York received a nearly seven figure bequest. The only thing I got in return was a letter asking if they could expect more! May they rot in Hell for their greed!
i kind of like the 50’s and early 60’s because of the innocence and “happy days” outlook by that generation.
it seems most people were pretty innocent and real.. would you rather be living in a different era or is this century working for you?

The last half of the 1800's.
just was thinking how some powerful quotes, remarks, sayings hit the mark with me and how much it enriched/ enhamced/influences my life.
love beyond color.
reality is that which when you no longer believe in it , does not go away.. “the truth is a battle of perceptions.
There is no shame in failing. The shame is in never trying.
The man who says the least usually feels the most.
