  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.

  .

  i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?

  My JW ex-wife filed for divorce, while we were both in good standing. While the elders did put pressure on her not to go through with it, she was not sanctioned other than being labeled a "foolish" person.

  Korean News : CoC in Korean

  by AntiEntropy in

  hi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.

  however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.

  fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.

  If the copyright holder were smart, they would publish the existing version right away and work on getting the new version out by the time inventory runs low.

  Then everyone will buy the book twice. More $$ for the copyright holder.

  when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.

  alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.

  i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.

  What does the rise of Donald Trump tell us about the USA?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  i thank one of my former lecturers for drawing my attention to this overview.. after some 100 years, living out its "manifest destiny" dream, as the hegemon of the world, what has this 'dream' done to/for the usa?

  the approaching presidential election provides an opportunity to examine this question.. and what of all the appendage organisations (like the wts) that rode across the world on the hegemon's coattails?.

  the answer may be here: http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism.

  JW Tattoos

  i'm sure there are countless opinions on whether you should get a tattoo or not.

  my personal view is that if you were to get one it should mean something.. anyone get a tattoo to remember their jw roots?

  i was thinking of getting a tetragrammaton somewhere.

  I.M. wonder what the elders would say if a JW got a tattoo of the JW.org logo on his chest?

  Not visible enough for outward display. If a JW got that on his arm he could rack up pioneer hours just hanging out at the park.

  Advertise! Advertise! Advertise! JW.org the governing body's kingdom.

  Before I left, I did all kinds of things to provoke the elders but just short of them being able to do anything other than label me as a B.A. (Bad Attitude).

  They can say very little about getting a tat, after all the scripture that says not to, also says not to trim your beard in the very next verse. So no tat, means I get to grow a beard.

  I settled for a tribal design around my bicep with the Japanese Kanji symbol for Truth on the underside close to my heart. The same symbol of my avatar.

  I showed it off to as many JWs as I could just to mess with the elders on how stupid their rules were. Many liked it.

  But in reality, it stood for the fact that I knew the real Truth about the Truth but I never told them that.

  Anyone who tried to make an issue, I would just go back to the scripture and say, so I can grow a beard then and never cut it? Cool! Shut them up fast.

  No regrets! The beard did come later.

  I can't take it anymore!

  my dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.

  now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.

  he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

  I liked Witness My Fury's suggestions as a starting point.

  If that does not work....., well you actually have a lot of power in this situation. The next time he acts like a jerk and make your mother cry, tell him you are just one act away from making him unqualified to be and elder, so quit acting like a jerk and back off.

  I love hearing news like this.

  It means the rank and file are not taking the religion to serious. Hopefully it will be the path to help them become future ex-JWs.
