Beard update

by Coded Logic in

so it's been over a month since i decided to grow a beard.

the mustache and chin have come in fuller than i ever imagined - while the cheeks leave me wondering if i'll ever grow enough hair to make it not look so wildly unkept and patchy (if anyone has any advice here it'd be much appreciated).

but in the mean time i'll give it another month and see how it goes.. .

Wahl not only has some great grooming tools, their website displays a variety of pictures showing different ideas for grooming and some vids on how to do it:

Another marriage bites the dust ...

by EdenOne in

... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.

.

just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".

Eden, after reading your first post I just wanted to say I’m sorry. But then after reading your second post and explanation I’m moved to add that perhaps it’s better for all considering all the circumstances you related.

Life is often difficult. I’m confident you’ll rise to the challenges. The best is yet to come.

Proposed Georgia(USA) Assembly Hall Collected Funds, 3.5 Million Dollars, donated to the World Wide Work

by James Jack in

from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.

to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.

the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.

I’ve lost track of all the times I’ve read about this particular scam played out around the world by the WTBTS.

WT leadership is expert at fleecing the flock of god.

And of course, “the faithful” don’t know because they avoid sites like this.

it's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.

i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?

because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.

jp1692, thank you for posting those links. I still have a lot of psychological stuff to work through.

As do we all, Sarabethy, as do we all!

Over-the-top reading and pictures and ...

by road to nowhere in

just looked at the convention program.

what weird artwork.

and the odd voices on the bible reading "gee-hoooe_vaah".

I owe my waking up to TTATT to a variety of factors, but the one person that had the most influence in convincing me that JWs do NOT have "The Truth" and that the Governing Body are NOT Jehovah's representatives on this Earth was Stephen Lett.

There's no way in hell that any God worth worshiping would pick that moron to be a leader in his organization.

This is hard-won knowledge. Glad to share it.

Sarabethy: I don't know why my body takes over like this, because I'm the kind of person who's not afraid to talk to anyone.

It's an indoctrinated phobia.

Here are some links to resources that might help you understand this psychological phenomenon with the goal of reducing and eventually eliminating it entirely:

I hope this helps!

Sir82, I was being ironic of course!

I always find it odd that a surprisingly large number of members of this forum cannot see the similarities between the Cult of Trump and our former religion.

I predict that some of them will soon swoop in and issue me an appropriate number of "Dislikes"!

Sir82: I can think of another group for which there is a "code of loyalty that put the organization above morality and above the truth.”

What group is that?
