  i did not have any connection to jw's when they published this, about two weeks before i graduated from high school.

  i'm now on medicare and collecting social security.

  so much for their ability to see into the future.

  I remember this...I was 10 years old. I felt dread and doom, because this was ‘the truth’ and if Jehovah read my heart, I would soon be killed at Armageddon.

  Still dont get the friggin birthdays

  i have read extensively about the origins of birthdays, and i still don't get it.

  but it's not what it means today.. even wedding veils were used to ward off the "evil eye".

  but it's not what it means today.

  This organization hates children, treats them like crap, they miss out on everything. No wonder so many leave.

  i was wondering how many of you that are ex-elders have actually read any da letters.

  or did you just accept the synopsis given by the secretary or whoever opens the mail?

  as an ms the closest i ever got was "he's an apostate.

  Activism ideas for our local communities

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking of dignified ways to raise awareness about the toxicity of the jw religion in my local community.. so, yesterday, i phoned my local council head office to query the carts that are set up in several places in our town.. i was very polite and professional, and asked the council clerk if they were aware that a religious cult sets up its propaganda stands on council property near families and children on a regular basis.. i said:.

  "while i am sure they may be very nice people, the group they represent teaches things that appear to me to be in direct conflict with the values and ethics of our local community and council.".

  "their initial message seems pleasant, but i know for example, they are a very misogynistic and homophobic group.

  We Might Know Each Other If You Know Some Of These

  by AnonVet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not about to give away where i live or where i used to live, but if you know any of these clusters of people, we might have crossed paths at one point.

  (i have added a few "dummy" names to keep it tough.

  ) most, but not all, of these "real" names are elders.. 1) wicks, anderson, hughes, stafford, adams.

  My dad had a study...a foreign man much older than me. He saw me and proposed to me thru my dad, my dad said no. He insisted he hear it from me. I told him no, too. He acted like he was shocked that I didn’t want to marry him, yech!

  Anxiety

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the first half of the may 2019 jw broadcast focused on anxiety.

  for them to devote this much time to this issue is evidence there are many jws suffering from it.

  i would assume at least half of the members from my observation over the years.

  Everyone knows the best thing for anxiety is more meetings and service, and reading JW literature, lol.
