  above is the link to this blog that is fuelled with so much hatred it's unreal.

  i commented on this bloggers posts, and told this bloggers how distasteful this bloggers posts are, i never expected it to go public, as this blogger will only post what he/she thinks os acceptable.. this blogger has asked me to show evidence of his/her hatred, only for this blogger to use the age old psychological trick of projecting onto the accusers.

  I am with David_Jay. I'm not sure why people simply make the assumption that everything in the internet is posted by sane, rational or educated people. Engaging in attempts against them is just futile and unnecessary, not to mention that standard already tired (yet always reliable) free speech argument.

  One of My BIGGEST Regrets as a JW Was How I Accepted Dealing With Disfellowsipped Ones

  looking back at it, it was shameful to treat human beings worse than a way we would treat a dog!

  ignore people, treat them as dead...,it's so awful.

  😞.

  The good thing about humans and relationships is that some may be mended. I felt exactly the same way about they way I treated some disfellowshipped people. Later I saw them and some I was able to talk to and let them know that the WT attitude and practice of shunning is something I no longer believe in. Some, sadly were still in "JW mode" and felt like they shouldn't be talking to me, and one person told me to stay away from him because he was planning on going back.

  So don't feel bad because in the end, you may not be able to salvage anything, and also, some people are in fact assholes, disfellowshipped or not.

  jw conversations

  by zeb in

  i have mentioned i have bi-polar.

  as part of my strategy against this is to endeavour to be positive and around positive people as much as i can.

  that is avoid negative conversations and negative people.

  Thank you for sharing, zeb. I'll stay away from you as I tend to be very negative. I care, though.

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  Ok, I personally don't need further proof of how full of --it and how much those idiots at the WT's GB have no spine to admit that they made a mistake. To me it's well established that they will always attempt at looking good that way (personally I'd have more respect for them if they admit to being wrong, but that's just me).
  

  So I'm not surprised that they keep coming up with whatever contrived crap they can think of to explain away their stupidity as they blame their victims for them.

  I feel so bad for those who are still brainwashed by them and want to stick with them for the wrong reasons. Sadly, that's good enough for many who still want to look for any reason to stay with them. Old formula that never fails and keep their people at bay.

  Disgusting.

  As the one commenter (so fare) said in YouTube, you have your life ahead, and yes, move on. I left when I was still a young man, at 23, and I took life as a blank canvas where I could paint anything I wanted to. Choose the right paint for your life.

  Wonderful video.

  Take a trip to the Hoover Dam and/or the Grand Canyon. Vegas alone can get on your nerves, especially if you're not a heavy gambler.

  Look for a show, there are shows for all budgets and tastes.

  If you like shopping, that's the place to be.

  The Excalibur Hotel has a Renaissance show and family friendly arcades and similar things as well as entertainment for adults.

  Hotels provide good spas with amenities, such as therapeutic, professional massages.

  And of course, if you find family friendly entertainment boring, there are reasons why they call it Sin City. Check the listings.

  Just walking around the strip is fun too.

  I was thinking the GB may feel this is a good idea, remember they have encouraged the RF to put off having children, so this arrangement will fit right into their scheme. But the only problem if a sister become pregnant and she tell the brothers, it was a miraculous birth just like Jesus...A dilemma for the bro's, is she crazy or she had a sleep over with a horny archangel....
  

  You know, I may be with you on this one. Thinking on gay JWs who don't want to marry anyone of their opposite sex, this may be their perfect solution.

  I can't remember the name of this one book that was published in the late 80s or early 90s. I was on my way out and didn't pay much attention to it, but I swear I heard that the book talk about populating other planets.

  Of all the creepy nonsense that they publish, I think that thing was what made me think of the concept of "drinking the Kool Aid".

  Does anyone know what book I'm referring to?

  I'd vote for that one.
