  in the last 4 months my eyes have been opened to ttatt, my biggest issue is that the elders have been grooming me to appoint me as an elder.

  Tell them you have a problem with masturbation, God hates a wanker.

  Seriously though, you get good advice here. I will go now and let the adults keep talking.

  What a messed up 'kids activity'. I would rather my children play Halo or Call of Duty then participate in this mental screwing excercise. Kids who do this exercise, along with being exposed to all the other death at Armageddon images in the society's literature, wil have a seed planted deep in their minds that will grow into psychological disorders when they mature.

  I know super zealous dubs who won't let their kids watch Madagascar or Kung-fu Panda or play Mariokart because of the violence. They can just do the dot to dots that the society puts out.

  Don't forget to focus on the evil woman's dying eyes kids, notice her terror and pain, she has turned away from Jehovah and is now suffering horrific death. When you finish the dot to dot of death we can all sing 'Listen Obey And Be Blessed' together.

  JWs feel they need to give their kids this divine education, or they could get corrupted by Satan, and that can really mess up a child's mind..

  New Stupid Assembly Rules

  by WTWizard in

  i have heard on this discussion board numerous rules that apply to upcoming a$$emblies.

  some are designed to stop people from meeting the opposite sex; others, to make sure everyone is always ready to recruit new members into the scam.

  i heard that some km inserts have been urging those whose congregation has cleaning assignments to sit in the section that they are assigned to clean.

  The 'please keep moving' sign creates another privilege that they can give to zealous young brothers who meets the spiritual qualifications to hold a sign.

  And the point of this video is??

  by cedars in

  here's a few guesses.... the brooklyn waterfront is a convenient place for the society to make their videosgrowing up as a jw when your friends have cellphones and you don't is "kind of rough" and a "kind of sad story"suddenly it's ok for jw youths to "go out" with worldly friends?

  ?you should listen to what your "peers" say, so long as they're jws on a society video.

  anything else is peer pressure.playing by yourself with a frisbee is the preferred sport for young people (no teams or competition involved)young jws don't have a clue how to communicate with the opposite sex via text messages"it's really up to you how you choose to communicate with this wonderful tool that you have"... even though it clearly isn't.the society's video-making department are already running out of ideashttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se_iuspg_14.

  This video has a real Mormon flavour. They are trying to project the image that Mormons, I mean JWs, are normal, well adjusted, young adults who have a spiritual view of mobile phones and sexting.... sounds stupid? It is.

  The music sounded like it was out of Napoleon Dynamite.... Wasn't that movie made by Mormons?

  What if you simply IGNORED being disfellowshipped and continued as before?

  i know this is an odd idea.

  maybe it is even silly.. but, i do daydream..... .

  what if you were informed that you are disfellowshipped and you flashed a huge smile and said, "nah.".

  It sounds a bit like George Costanza when he gets fired but then just shows up to his work like nothing happened.

  The huge impact the JWs have out in their door knocking --- May 15, 2013

  the may 15, 2013 washtowel has a cute little piece of artwork about what an impact they make out in serve-us.

  Since I am fading.. .. I went out Saturday

  Man I feel sorry for you, I realize your circumstances are different to mine. I am fading to, except my fade is more of a complete stop, I always found d2d work painful, and now that I know it is irrelevant, I enjoy my weekends doing other things.

  The sad thing is for the kid in that caption, he will have this feeling deep inside that his parents love is conditional on his continuing to peddle the magazines. . . . . for the rest of his life. They love him SO LONG AS. . . . it's sad, but this is how it is for many JW children.

  Creative Revenge

  i love this topic.... stole it from a female talk radio host dr. sonia freeman in the chicago area decades ago.

  think and post a creative (not damaging, violent, or illegal) action that would piss off those who shun us.

  here is an example: many years ago when my hubby was still an elder he collected the mail for the kh.

  I think JWs experience severe cognitive dissonance when they try and reject and accept independent thinking at the same time. That's understandable, the poor people are being manipulated by fools like Anthony Morris the terd. He explains it so well, JWs are the thinkingest people in earth.

  I intend to write pretty clear letter about my feelings, confusion, hard times and ect. without any mentioning about teaching or WT at all. I don't have to be sincere with them. I don't have anything against them, but they are blind and I am not a doctor

  Well said. All the best with your step down and exit. Like Aussie said, it has to be a cult when you need a strategy to leave.
