  have you ever found out that your "buddies" from the kingdom hall went out to have fun and did not invite you?

  if so how did you feel?.

  There's no way to sugar coat it, it sucks. Nothing hurts more than feeling like you are left out. Especially by people that you consider a "friend" or "buddy." I experienced this heavily during my early teens when I was still "in" because my family was considered bad association due to my brother getting into some legal trouble. My so called "buddies" in the hall stopped talking to me and ceased to invite me to gatherings. All because of something that was beyond my control. It was at that point that I realized that it wasn't really a friendship. It was all conditional.

  This was honestly the biggest eye opener of my life and the catalyst for me leaving the organization right before I was about to get baptized. And thank goodness for that!

  well, i offered in one of his threads to have him on the show and posters seemed excited at the possibility and we got it done so now you can hear from the man himself on the newest episode of "shunned".

  one of our very own stepped up to tell his story, well, aside from myself of course.

  it was great getting to actually speak with him.. this is my first international interview for the podcast.

  Watched about 20 minutes of it while on lunch. I have to admit, the production value is impressive. I like what I see so far!

  I agree with the notion that if you are going to enforce rules for one group, apply it consistently across the board. It prevents issues like this from arising and causing unnecessary partisan bickering.

  Saudi Arabia closes down a female gym because ...

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  ... a woman has been filmed in the gym wearing gym clothes.

  at least, according to the daily mail.. the deeply conservative (that's polite speak for 'religious and demented') kingdom has apparently closed the gym down and threatened to prosecute the person who filmed the gorgeous young woman in lycra.. although i believe that female gym users can wear gym gear in any gym, what's especially ludicrous is: she was filmed in a female gym!.

  i don't know what to say, i'm genuinely lost for words .... she's got a nice arse.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5650699/saudi-officials-close-gym-woman-filmed-wearing-lycra.html.

  you start listening to music deemed "unsuitable for christians".

  you pretend to knock on the doors.

  you explain a jw teaching to someone and realize how ridiculous it sounds.

  • When you finally throw away that stockpile of old Watchtowers you couldn't place over the years. Yes, we all had a closet full of mags!

  Upon reading this quote, I instantly had a flashback to this hallway closet that I had in the house I grew up in that had all the Watchtowers, Awakes, and various other JW books. I swear those magazines always had this very distinctive smell to them. Does anyone else remember that?
  

  Anyways, here are mine:

  Loosing your Privleges and Scumbag elders

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so 9 months before i started pioneering, i had a hot and heavy moment with this player witness who was just trying to string me along and talked to a lot of different girls.

  we made out and he grabbed my goodies a few times you know the regular stuff all teens do at least once.

  anyways i never saw him again because when i refused to send him nudes he dropped me.

  I've always been a firm believer that the Elders get off on the details sexual encounters of young JW women. They love to get very explicit details. "So, how long would you say this young man groped your breasts and inner thighs?"

  I would ignore those scumbags. They only have as much power as you personally give them. Their "power" only exist in the confines of this insecure\corrupt organization.
