i have a funeral to attend for a non jw family member and the jdub family member reminded me that i should not wear black.
for the life of me, i can't recall where this belief came from in jw teachings and i'm born in.
is there something in print or is that just a personal opinion belief?
Great quote Atlantis, thanks for digging that up. I almost laughed when I read the part about in some parts of the world a person's entire life involves some spirit or deity...
Like Jehovah's Witnesses, who let 'Jehovah' decide their life from sunup till sundown?
so here is a newer post over on that other site that reminds me of wash, rinse, and repeat.. this could be "our last memorial"!!!!
by shannie, wednesday at 08:14 pm in our meetings, ministry, and life as a christian.
well once again the memorial is upon us... tonight at our meeting.. .
They said that last year! Jesus did they forget already, it's almost funny...
have any of you come across this rare breed of jw?.
i know a brother who spends 9 months of the year living in a caribbean island where he is an active jw and then he flies back to his home european country for 3 months to work and save up so he can fly back out again.
he is an active jw in his home country.. he's not a missionary and has never been to gilead though he attended pioneer school back in the '90s.
all are bookmarked and searchable.. .. 1986--1990. https://we.tl/t-sqgt9exh5k .
.. 1991--2000. https://we.tl/t-qzbfbiacq8.
.. 2001--2010. https://we.tl/t-yaw2lety01.
Atlantis, we salute you.

Yeah, sounds a lot more pleasant than knocking on doors in suburban America or Europe.
what's up with this?
it seems that with the january study magazine it's been trimmed by by four pages.
have any of you commented on this?.
WtWizard, love your terminology, that's spot on. Koolaid edition, hahaha. Drink up, sheep.
interestinng article.
also has more links in the article to read further stuff on jdubs.. https://www.revealnews.org/article/jehovahs-witness-leader-says-child-sex-abuse-claims-are-lies/.

Yeah, it's good to call to mind their lies and deflections but we should keep up to date on these things too. These people will not go down without a fight, kicking and screaming that they protect kids and abhor child sex abuse as we bury them in a heap of evidence to the contrary.
so after years of being out of the orginization, and using a pseudonym i have put my face out there for the world to see.
the repercussions have been real.
but i am also convicted in my stance.
That's incredibly brave, you should be proud of yourself for taking that step. They dont like it fuck them, it's your life not theirs.
when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.
that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.
i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.
This is a healthy discussion guys. It's important to check in from time to time, for 'apostates' or 'opposers' like us presentation is even more crucial, since they claim we're just angry, resentful, or vain.
Trust Atlantis, he knows what he's talking about.
