  It's not X rated, it just has some profanity, some F-bombs here and there. Funny stuff though.

  for those of you that asked, below is a copy of my solicitors letter to the elders in my old congregation.

  he sent a similar one directly to bethel and a medical directive to my daughters gp to go on her medical records that i have already given permission for her to have a blood transfusion should she need one:.

  I think some of you are way overreacting to that picture. Apparently you never read comic books as a kid or watched any action or sci-fi movies. I can assure you I was exposed to the Paradise book, the Live Forever book, etc. and somehow I survived. Just saying...

  so this past weekend i took my girlfriend and my boys on a little weekend getaway.

  we stayed in a hotel and early sunday morning i went out for some starbucks.

  when i returned and called the elevator it arrived, the doors opened and inside waiting to come out was a nice lady with that all too familiar badge on her lapel.

  Hated the recommended lodging list and all the stupid rules about using it. It never failed that even if you called immediately after scanning the list and jotting down some numbers and hurrying home( before the days of cell phones, of course), all the best places were already booked up.

  Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down

  just take a look at this video.

  i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.

  everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

  Showing a video from a tablet, that's really lame. Not having your hard copy Bible with you is inexcusable. However, I don't think the sister did that bad of a job trying to talk to these guys. It's not often you encounter people door to door who aren't completely ignorant about the Bible, it's hard to be prepared for everything they might throw at you. Other than the pointless scrolling she was doing on her tablet, I think she did reasonably well. And those two came off as mansplaining, a lot, when they kept cutting her off. And their beliefs are just as whackadoodle as the JWs. I don't think she was running away as much as just realizing they were never going to agree on much, so move on. Just my impression.

  The Shunning truth is now out...

  i have been df'd for 9yrs as of july 31 (yay me!).

  so as i have written about previously in other posts, my whole family (parents + sister) made the choice to treat me as if i do not exist, and i have accepted it.

  last summer they made a blatant show of it as our family reunion, in that they would walk right by me and not say one word...prompting our extended family to question their actions.

  Since I'm not actually DF'd, my JW family can act "normally" around me at family reunions, the rest of my family has no idea that they ignore me every other day of the year.

  good afternoon,.

  i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

  When you say "we", who exactly are you referring to? What do you mean by opening an inquiry? What exactly are you inquiring about? I'm not in the UK so if this is some kind of legal process could you elaborate on the details?

  Let's Get Physical

  by Funchback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  rap, earth, wind and fire, 'let's get physical'.... types of music, performers and songs i wasn't allowed to listen to as a person in the jw corporation.. i remember jane, a self-appointed annointed, counseled me because i was an 11-year-old boy singing 'let's get physical' after a meeting.

  i remember watching the video simply believing it was about exercise...lol!

  but holy roller jane just had to try to ruin it for me, causing me to ponder, 'what else could it mean?'.

  My Pseudo-Education Hasn't Hurt Me None, I Can Still Read the Writing on King Belshazzar's Wall~Part III

  2. experiences

  before i go to extreme south texas, let me acknowledge an early influence that gave me self-worth, self-assurance, self-esteem and the feeling that i was as good as any damn person on this planet.. larry ranch, my congregation servant in renton, washington(home of boeing aircraft), was on my dad's judicial committee.

  my dad had sexually molested my sister, sandy, repeatedly.

  my dad got probation from the judicial committee.

  I have a sister like that. Molested by our elder father (presiding overseer when he was finally outed). He got a slap on the wrist. She's still a uber dub. They go to the same Hall. Neither talk to me.

  Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.

  until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.

  but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

  Cart witnessing creates class distinctions among the Jws. Metropolitan witnessing is for kingdom evangelizer grads, cart witnessing is for pioneers and well spoken of publishers. Door to door is reserved for slackers and undercover apostates.

  
  

  Whats Metropolitan witnessing? How is it different from cart witnessing?
