  I grew up seeing that fear of whatever (people in general, being seen preaching, encountering a coworker, a former drinking buddy, a former lover/girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, being judged the same way they judge others, the list is endless). That avoidance is reflective of the attitude that many JWs have. To me that's clear evidence of what really in the hearts of many JWs and try to have their children do and be what they don't/aren't. Just pathetic.

  Interesting creepy facts about the town where you live. Sadly we always remember the criminal and never the victims.

  Would This Be Adultery?

  by FedUpJW in

  2. beliefs

  i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.

  the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.

  considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?

Another mans penis would have penetrated her, and it would have been done with his full approval. That just HAS to be wrong according to the GB.
  

  And masturbation will be considered a homosexual act?

  today, i received a paper letter in my mail.

  since i left at the second half of 2016, i never received something like this.

  it is a one and a half page hand written letter that is written by an elder pioneer (i guess he needed some easy way to get his time in).. it is not written in english, so i will translate it:.

  My "favorite: part"
  

  ...All or personal problems will be solved, and if not, we can at least better deal with all things...
  

  That affirmation of certainty is what makes many people stay, using this pipe dream to feel safe and secured. I hope you know better.

  The letter doesn't say anything about you, doesn't ask anything about you, and shows absolutely no interest in anything about you. Funny thing is that they think that they are being loving by doing that.

  Throw it away.

  We come from a place where "questions and answers" means that they themselves provide both. That alone tells you how much they control what people get presented to them.

  I personally don't classify people and things as "good, bad, evil, etc", but I've always seen that the bible Jehovah is a very irresponsible being. I have posted that if you look at the psychological profile of that so-called god, we get Roger from American Dad.

  Turning 60 today (Happy Birthday to me)

  by NewYork44M in

  2. friends

  it is my birthday today.

  given that i turn 60 today means that i graduated high school in 1975. time flies when you are having fun.. i remember the council i got about not worrying about a career because this wicked system was rapidly coming to a conclusion.

  now i am 60 and most of those bastards are dead and the end is still in the future..

  Messages From My Uber JW Sister - It's Like Talking To A Brick Wall

  by pale.emperor in

  what follows below is a facebook messenger conversation with my sister last night.

  i was surprised she messaged me.

  i think it's because the cart witnesses i spoke to in my previous post in her kh must have mentioned that they met me.. i screen shot the messages but they've come out all wonky so please bare with me.. notice how she defends the cult even over the blatant wrong doings i refer to.. .

  Thanks for sharing that, I'm sure it's not exactly a pleasant exchange at all, leave alone that it's your own sister.

  Something caught my attention, and as I have mentioned before, reasoning with them about facts and teaching may bear little productivity. However, I do notice in her conversation that she ties up her believes with your father. Seems like he's not alive. To me it looks like she's been more loyal to your father's legacy than to the WT teachings.

  Maybe if you address what she's implying about what she feels instead of what she says about the WT teachings may take you in a different direction.

  Either way, as frustrating as it may look, it's also possible that this exchange may stick and may become relevant for her in the future. You just don't know.

  Crow Woe

  “oh mommy!” the little girl in the floral dress cooed to her mother.. i felt the same.. that splash of vivid brightness on such a perfect creature takes your breath away!the delicate robin whose crimson colored breast chased ugliness from sight delighted little children on starbucks patio.. better still, her nest in a nearby tree stirs a keen anticipation for summer’s hatchling sounds of chirpy appetites and a renewal of hope for our futures, the little things and we ourselves.. i barely spy her nest, exquisitely fashioned, basket-like; roundish and stout.

  she flits charmingly now...and again keeping custodial observance of her eggs.

  such treasures!
