  my partner has been going to the adelaide law courts recently and as she goes thru the topham mall she has said hello to the jw cart ladies on her way ,well, today one of the ladies she observed went around the corner from the cart and lit up a ciggy...so naughty.. my partner has never been a witness but she knows i was once and asked me if they were allowed to smoke now.. jeez they get up to some naughty stuff when they are lounging around on their phones ,must be the devils tools corrupting them ha ha.

  noone and nothing can really prepare you for the burning pain you feel when your spouse leaves you after 8 years of marriage.

  from one day to another, all your dreams, hopes and plans are shattered.. i still have so many questions which will remain unanswered in eternity.. the thread i made a few weeks ago, is part of this story.

  after learning about ttatt my plans involved to wake up my wife as well and exit the truth.

  Anti-religion T-Shirt idea

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want a t-shirt.

  something that says "religion is crap, i don't care which one".. i was thinking of adapting the "coexist" one to say "toxic" instead which is great because it removes 'science' but includes all the major world religions.. anyone else have any ideas?.

  also a tag-line ... "whatever god you worship, he's a weirdigan".

  jwundubbed - Welcome

  The road to recovery will just have its own length of time - unique to each of us apparently. Just enjoy the new "ride" - I went into Huge depression in 2010 which took 30 agonising months to recover from and even now I have the craziest dreams which always involve some issue of entrapment within the cult - Very weird but evidence of what has taken place inside our heads - for me its a recovery after 50 years in the cult -

  Just called into the Kingdom Hall, Speaker said he couldn't tell if anyone was listening to his talk... Well I was and what a joke

  by Greybeard in

  2. friends

  just called into the kingdom hall, speaker said he couldn't tell if anyone was listening to his talk now that everyone uses electronic devices and nobody laughed... well i did!.

  he also mentioned when everyone used the bible he could hear the pages flipping and he knew they were following along.

  this was really funny to me.

  Removing children from viewing the Bunker Shit should be mandatory for all Parents !

  I am going to try to have a Psychologist friend review those DVD's [without prejudicing her with any preamble] - bearing in mind that I know many my age [60] who were traumatized by those Paradise Lost - Paradise Found simplistic illustrations of earthquakes and terror from the skys - in monochrome !

  Missionary in Asia works part time as teacher told by Bethel hand over pay check!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  they only way this minsterial school grad missionary could get a visa was as an "english teacher" so he got a job part time and pioneered the rest of the time.

  he was very upset when bethel told him his wage for english teaching belongs to them!!!

  he had expenses living in this asian land and had no family support, but bethel thought his small watchtower "reinburstment" was enough.

  "Shunning" - now a Watchtower word?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know jws have long used the word "shun" in a general sense, as in "shun what is bad".

  but i think they have long avoided using the word in relation to disfellowshipping.

  in external media or literature wherever the word "shunning" was used in a piece about jws it was usually a good indication it was critical of watchtower and not a neutral or supportive commentary.

  Hardline or more mainstream.... I think we now have the answer!

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this latest convention with the shunning and bunker videos shows the organisation getting more and more extreme and more cultish.. i think for the last few years they have wavered between the softer more mainstream, loving version of christianity (last year's jesus convention for example) and a harder line, there were even posters on here optimistically suggesting they might relax the shunning rules.

  whoever it is on the gb who has the harder stance has clearly won out (my guesses lett and morris!).

  i am sure i am not the only one breathing a sigh of relief, "phew, we got out in time".

  I think you make a good point - Certainly the FEAR Factor is upped to Red Status at the latest RC's - "lets have a blow-out" .....keep the #2 Cat. shjitting themselves and allowing for natural attrition of the Critical 'Independent' Thinkers #3.......- hold onto the remaining flock and bleed them to death !
