quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.
however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.
i don’t know how he is doing but gumby was his name.
Ok so I left years ago then returned even though I figured it wasn't da troof. But then I had kids I still I reasoned it's not true but theres nothing harmful. Then I saw ARC ,Candace Conti, Jose Lopez and all the other victims. And I decided it ends with me! They can do whatever they want to me. Shun me df me I don't care but my children WILL be able to make their own choice without worry of mom and dad!
Fu watchtower!
how strict were the jehovah’s witnesses you knew about birthday cake?
i knew a girl who saw a few pieces of cake in the break room at her work, and ate a peice, then found out later that it was left over birthday cake.
she felt so guilty and was scared about a bad impression she left on her work mates.
I want a demonic birthday cake with a stripper inside.
i resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.
one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.
i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.
I agree with not helping. Let's say the family member was wealthy hypothetically of course. Would they leave you out of the inheritance because you aren't a witness? If the answer is yes then you have the same obligation to them. Absolutely nothing.
I am in a similar boat as my parents have written me off for simply standing my ground and saying I will not support a organisation that's hiding CSA period.
Karma is a bitch!
did it ever happen in your congregation?.
it did in one of mine a decade ago.
not only were funds on hand in the congregation account used but repeated announcements were made to contribute towards the medical treatments for an elder’s wife who was battling breast cancer.
Funny thing is the same people that would get upset about the use of funds to help heal a person with cancer. Is the people that would say it's ok to pay to hide pedos.
there are alot of posts about the king of the north announcements.
this is all hocus pokus bull shit.
it's not about king of the north.
There are alot of posts about the King of the North announcements. This is all hocus pokus bull shit. It's not about king of the north. It's all a distraction in my opinion to get people away from the CSA lawsuits.
The question I have is. Is it working?

Karma's a bitch like that sometimes.
i'm a member on jw talk (until now at least) and have been regularly checking up on their thread regarding the annual meeting.
there hasn't been a great deal to report on except for this recent post that has been made.
i may get outed but that's no loss.
Honestly I could care less about who they think is the king of the North ,south . They are village idiots trying to divert attention away from their scandals.
It's like a kid getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar .
pattern of excuses.
example #1. blame the bible !.
proclaimer's book*** jv chap.
Just dawned on me that the reason they claim 1914 is because of ww1 . Isn't it ironic that the year their lord and redeemer arrived invisibly to rule the earth suddenly became a worse place....At least according to them.
Some God they worship!
last week i was travelling in the u.k. when a car overtook me.
i noticed its numberplate which read 'jw 04 org'!!.
i couldnt believe it, i wonder how much the borg are charging for these?
Gonna get a plate that says eff jw org.
just a hypothetical question.
if the society was right and armageddon came a knocking would you want to live in a society run by the org and bully elders.. would rather die at armageddon.
i would.
In a few billion years the sun will go supernova and destroy the earth. So no I don't think I want to live forever. Or even live to see that.
Not that it is even possible to live forever.
