  Leaving it all behind.

  by Jazzbo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i haven't been on an exjw site for months and months.

  i frankly am way past the point where i define myself as an exjw, i am who i am and it doesn't have really anything to do with the way i was raised or spent a considerable portion of my life, i also refuse to be bound by witness requirements as to leaving, contact with witnesses, or some kind of responsibility to whack people who seem perfectly happy as witnesses over the head with 'the truth about the truth'.

  i have recently run in to a few people that seems to simply obsess with their lives as witnesses and why they left and in some cases the way they were treated or mistreated, or the need to "do" something.

  If nothing else, I read some funny shit on here. I also sometimes learn something new, although I am coming from quite a low base - my formal education ended when I was 14.

  One day I will grow up big and strong, like Jazzbo.

  some of y'all may know why i am asking this, but i am curious about it.. sexting in the elders book says it's enough to warrant a jc but it's very loose at it... what's y'all opinion?

  do elders care alot of it?

  what if it's an old case?

  Tell them nothing. Never talk to the elders.

  Good luck with the sexting, it gives me sore fingers.

  If you choose to be a non shunner you risk becoming one of the shunned. Shun or be shunned is the theme.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm currently cleaning up our bookcase and need to decide what goes into the trash.

  i'll keep the watchtower books that are not available online anymore (e.g.

  the brown "reasoning" book).

  I've known good people who happened to be pedos through no fault of their own; being attracted to children doesn't automatically make someone an evil mass murderer.
  

  Being a pedo doesn't make someone a murderer. It does make them sick, twisted and deplorable in the eyes of almost everyone, obviously.

  JW.org Childrens Page: Expanding My Circle Of Friends

  by pale.emperor in

  https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/worksheets/expanding-circle-of-friends/.

  some things of note here, it looks to me that they're encouraging young ones to befriend older people and "people not like them".

  could this be because many of the young ones are now leaving?.

  But was it not the man Jesus himself who spoke the wise words,

  "Forget mum and dad, matter of fact, tell all your family to just get fucked and come hang with me"

  Improved modern English translation.

  Do JWs Really Bother You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in reality my experience with the witnesses is that they really don't bother me or bother with me which suits me just fine....are you "bothered" by the witnesses at this point of your life?.

  I wish I could say they don't, but when I see JWs that I used to know, I can't help but get worked up. It still feels weird for me, I do foresee it getting better in time but maybe professional help is in order..... certainly the religion has fucked with my psyche. It's a vile cult and my despise for it cannot be overstated.

  Isn't it great to be free from the WT mindset? My drug habits have spiralled, I've gambled everything I owned and have contracted numerous STD's from strangers. Life's good.
