*warning this is long* it all started on the last day of the "remain loyal to jehovah" convention.
a little background story, i've been raised as a jw, been in and out of the religon, never baptised but was made an unbaptized publisher about 3 years ago, always felt out of place in the congregation, blamed myself for this because if i had just went to meetings and did all the right things then i would have friends and not be in the mess that i was.
right after becoming an unbaptized publisher i met my now fiance, end up leaving my mother's house to live with him, elders haven't contacted me about my situation even though i'm sure they know as my step father is an elder...but anyway on the last day of the convention my fiance came with me as i was visiting my mother and had planned to go with her and her husband to the convention.
Welcome to the forum.
I still believe in jehovah
Give it some time, you have only just noticed the man behind the curtain. I'm sure the lack of evidence for this Bronze Age myth will have you changing your mind.
You may even become a believer in paragraphs. All the best.
hello all.... i am new here so i figured i'd make a quick post introducing myself and giving a brief intro as to who i am and what i'm here for... as well as to hopefully meet others.. so, i made a profile and in it i gave a pretty detailed explanation as to my intent here and exactly why i decided to participate in the boards.
in case you don't read it, i'll give a brief summary.
the name is robert.
I would suggest you get down to your local Kingdom Hall, and stop trolling this forum.
i remember that we were always encouraged to let everyone at work know that you were one of jw's and therefore would not participate in any of their functions, parties etc.. this i outrightly refused to do.
my reasoning was that i was employed and paid to do a job and therefore my religious beliefs were a personal matter and therefore had nothing to do with my work.
secondly i had to work with these people.
As it turns out, I believe the most significant directive I ignored was the "avoid independent thinking" mantra....
Oh and another thing, my penis. I jerked that all the time, despite the directive.
i went to www.sensibus.com and they have 160 different kinds of cheese.
i just do not know which cheese i want to order.
any suggestions?

Bake that shit with some nice bread. Serve with beer.
so the wife was watching the latest installment of jw broadcasting and near the end there was a new segment on dating and courtship.
it starts at about the 39 minute mark:.

Never trust a man who doesn't like sport.
another talk from my channel.. gerrit lösch - what the near future holds.
apparently, jehovah god has "revealed" the future to us... unfortunately in 2008 when this talk was given he didnt reveal to them the mass downsizing of bethel staff and buildings, the child molestation payouts and many many changes to doctrine.. https://youtu.be/d8pvnrv5s94.
He's odds on to be the child abuser in the ranks.
As the longest serving GB member, he has got to be the most criminally responsible for their damaging policies, at the very least.
Lock the old fool up and let him rot in prison.
if he get pass this, america deserve him...... conversation 10 years ago..
He has already said things in the past about his own daughter that were lewd and suggestive and IMO, equally or even more disturbing.
I posted about his comments on his daughter on a different thread some time ago. My post was removed though.....
This is the sick piece of shit he is and always has been.
just skimming the latest study wt that has been posted and what did i see...?.
i wonder what the message is that they want the flock to take from this picture?.
there is also an article about training younger men to take over responsibilities.
I can remember my Grandad raging and ranting about the lengthy shorts that were becoming popular in the early 90's. "Now, are they long shorts, or a pair of short longs!"
A few years after that they started wearing shorts hanging half way down the backside. My old Grandad had a hard time adjusting to all the 'new light'.
i grew up doing both.
while i was in the org, i didn't hear too much about fishing, but all of the co's frowned upon hunting.
their stance was jw's should not own a gun.
I have known plenty of JWs who owned guns and enjoyed hunting and shooting. Fishing is almost compulsory, in some parts of Australia.
in many countries around the world the realization of how reckless the jws can be towards child endangerment and, more broadly, family safety, has started to take hold.
the results from the preliminary findings of the australian royal commission and the case being made in the united kingdom - which may remove the watchtowers tax exempt status - are both prime examples of this.
unfortunately, as the wt is headquartered in the united states any actions taken against the society will ultimately be limited in scope for such outside countries.. however, if hillary clinton should become president, i think there's a very good chance the wt could face serious and very far reaching legal action.
The Watchtower should be scared. Period.
