that's the facebook message i just got from one of my friends on facebook that is studying ..she was raised a jw but the family left for years.

her mom (widowed) is now back in and is trying to get her 35 year old daughter now staying with her to come in by telling her how she wil lbe destroyed if she doesn't..same old love.. snoozy.

Scully

Kelle Jarka must have not gotten the "do not kill" memo.

Neither did Leon Slack, Christian Longo or Robert Bryant, or any of these individuals who were known as JWs.

cried myself to sleep.

last night was the second time.

i have been out for 20 (give or take) years.

Scully

she was telling me about some old JW friends she found on Facebook......

The WTS has advised JWs to avoid the use of social networking sites like Facebook. Does your mom know that?

Spear-chucker me?

by AK - Jeff in

no racial slur here.

literal!.

about 20 minutes ago, while working in the yard, the banny rooster who is always threatening me and others [we have several free-range chickens not a farm], decided to approach and feign a flogging.

You could always give him a burial at sea... seems to be fashionable lately.

Bible joke in the 7/15/11 WT (for nonChristians)

the watchtower ?

july 15, 2011 (p17).

10 pauls warning about false stories is part of his first letter to timothy, a christian overseer who was charged with preserving the purity of the congregation and helping fellow believers to remain faithful.

Scully

How about the fact that the WT never even bothered to tell us what greek word they were referring to!!!? I find that most absurd!

Yes, it's downright OFFENSIVE!

Retirement

i remember as a witness, few took part in retirement plans.

i got out young though, and try.

although, like most, i think i am screwed with retirement.

Scully

I know some people are planning to get a reverse mortgage, but personally, I think that's one of the worst things you can do if you own your home outright. Don't think the financial institutions haven't figured out all the angles to make it to YOUR benefit over THEIRS.

Did you beleive you were A intellectual when you were a JW

i am embarrass to say when i was a jw and a elder i. thought i could sit down and speak on any subject with.

anyone intelligently.

i felt the schooling of the wt had.

Scully

I loved school, I loved reading, I loved exploring in encyclopediae and dictionaries when I was a kid. Lots of JWs in my congregation told me that I was "too smart for my own good". They didn't like it that a girl was well-read and excelled academically.
