Political leaning since leaving the Org.

by Olig in

as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?

also what way would you lean?

left?

road to nowhere

Secret Republican leanings (pimo) independent and should actually be dem if they would quit pulling left

One of the few things wt got right is not trusting nobles scripture. I know they have their own nobles they can't recognize

Kids being disfellowshipped

by Nikki collins in

so some ex-jws and i were at dinner last night talking about how some of the ones baptized this year were so young.

a few under the age of 10!!

can you imagine if a kid got dfd at that age.... would the congregation shun them?

Usually it takes until around age 15 or so. Puberty and discovering sex drive is number 1, and unhappily drugs or booze. They will indeed be shunned, given no support for maturing.

In spite of being bible based(sarcasm)the local boe may encourage kicking them into street or pawning them off on non jw relatives.

I have known a lot. A few smart alec snots make it all the way to becoming superfine bigwigs pushing their own way without getting caught

i wrote a letter some time ago and to my surprise and despite the elders manual saying that a letter is sufficient for establishing 'wrongdoing' they would not announce me as no longer a jw until i met with 2 elders to verbally acknowledge that the letter was written by me.. .

well yesterday i met with them and the meeting lasted 2 minutes.

"did you write the letter?

Technically the letter could have been sent by someone as a revenge or trick with your name. They did get the 2 witnesses now

this last tuesday was one of the most stressful and sad days of our life when we had our lab morgan put to sleep.

she was so sick and out of it we just had to do it.

when i called the spca on monday to make a appointment to have her put to sleep i felt like i betrayed her.

We all been there and will again. Biggest fear now is a dog may outlive me if I get another

Remember the " need greaters " who gave up their dog. Comment from wife was how comforting the dog had been after a hard day

while we were away (i and my best friend for the weekend), i received several texts from my 2 friends, from my ex-cong ,who are pimi(but starting to have doubts) who have been asking me questions about the jdubs.the texts seemed quite urgent n serious, so got the lowdown .at the weekend meeting , 3 families walked out!.

Heard if a cong where the elder on the stage reprimanded an elder in audience, pretty harsh. 2 families walked out

No idea if any details of who was right or wrong. Apparently 2 big guys are deleted over there

OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders

by Listener in

there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.

what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.

since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

Survival of the GB depends on loyalty of followers. They need us more than we need them

JW Mother Dying.... Not a Big Deal.... But it Should Be

by Zoos in

i’ve been shunned for many years so her passing doesn’t really constitute a loss for me.

her and her husband made it clear many years ago they didn’t want a homo in their family.

request granted.

Do the human and compassionate thing. Take the high road even if they will not. Visit, call or whatever you think is appropriate and put them to the test.

"Love Never Fails" ... Really ?

by Finkelstein in

" love never fails " is the main assembly headline for this years district assemblies for the jws and what a contrived lark that is .

the jws leaders have created doctrines to which the organization's followers obeyed accordingly which have killed thousands , destroyed families and indirectly caused numerous suicides.

these men have instituted such doctrines such as refusing blood transfusions, vaccinations and organ transplants at one time, they still uphold the no blood transfusion doctrine though.

It is not a personal choice you are told to shun someone for some unknown " sin" and if you do know some details like with a family member you also recognize the lack of being even handed that goes along with it

One of the GB illustrated it as someone freezing---slap him awake, force him to get well. The real way to save him is to surround him with warmth

Another was likened to a traitor to your country-- regardless your politics some are Patriots t ok you standing up to injustice

by rockemsockem in

i have a few and built two 80% lowers.

just got a larue two stage trigger.

I don't but have tried them. Along with SKS and AK The cartridges are not useful for my hunting, but are cheaper. The AR has adjustable stock length, a grip that feels more natural so can be used by people that are not " average" build. People mix up velocity, weight, impact energy not to mention bullet styles. And have no idea about how changing magazines reduces the actual rate of fire from the impossible numbers cited on tv that would require belt fed full machine guns

There is an agenda to take ALL guns in the long picture despite protestations otherwise. Since they cannot do it all at once (Soviet union, Hitler for example) they are instead getting the camels nose under the tent.

If you think you can completely trust the government and its enforcers give up your gun, knife, ball bat. On and on
