We were asked if we could be more lay back and go to the doors after work perhaps and in our work clothes so the householder felt more comfortable. This was asked from our co right from the stage. Or if we're on our way home from somewhere and we're not in our service clothes but are still looking presentible, could we do a few doors before turning in for the night.

shock horror! WITNESSING ATTIRE NOW CONDONES OPEN-NECK SHIRTS FOR MALES!
by steve2 ingo to jw.org right now friends and you will see a young male jw witnessing in a rural setting with publication in hand and - take careful note - wearing a crisply-white open-neck shirt.
bring out the carnival, light the lights: the organ ization is kicking itself into an ongoing casualization of its rank and file.. in the 1960s through 1980s i know brothers who dared to attire themselves sans ties who were reprimanded or worse.

when he left this morrning i reminded him to inform those who didn't slam their doors on them that if they join your cult that this will be the last christmas, holiday and birthday they will be allowed to celebrate.

Last week the co and his idiot teaching partner told everyone they would be going out on christmas day. They did not go. They had everyone have a crappy weekend thinking they would have to go out and then they didn't go. I knew they wouldn't do it for the one co(fill-in) is in our old congregation and he never went to the doors. Just wanted to drive around(20 km an hour) and two washroom breaks plus a coffee stop first thing. His wife was a fake as well. Both no good for nothings. Just liked playing with the young ones for they were the only ones that would label lick them.
When we went to pioneer school the co did the same thing to us. Told us we were going out on christmas day and then it never happened. But we did go out new year's eve day. Got one guy and he was so hungover I thought he was going to puke right there on the spot. So glad we're out for ever!!!!!

That was nice:) Now your turn to pass it on to the next. That's what makes the world go round and round. Hopfully, that nice older couple weren't lonely with no family to go to.
We had neighbors come over with a loaf of bread and a bottle of homemade wine. As he was giving it to us he said he felt bad for us with not having christmas. The guy who doesn't believe in god says they came to break some bread and drink his blood. LOL. We know of another man who will prepare warm turkey dinners and drive and hour away to Toronto and feed homeless people on christmas day.
When we thought about our ten years in the racket religion, we never saw kindness done to us or others but only for the org beast. I'll never forget the time when someone's daughter had died leaving behind a three year old (who saw her mom die), the parents to the daughter and husband didn't even get a phonecall from their hall. It was disgusting. They go to your door preaching love and yet they practise hate.

The hydro is on. Friends of ours are a two minute drive from her and they said they were out for three hours. We are fifteen minutes from her and we were out for a day. It was quite the storm. We had huge trees break in half due to the weight of the ice on the branches. Everything was coated with two inches of ice. Last we heard on the news, there were still 115,000 in parts of Toronto without and at least eighty homes would still not have hydro by Friday. They hydro crews are working around the clocks.
The last ice storm we had was last April and twenty-two of our hydro poles were snapped in half with some of them blown across fields. If it's not that it's tornadoes which we are seeing more and more. To be expected when our area is the snow belt as well as tornado alley. Makes life interesting. Being a jw was not!

The watchtower quoting itself as if it were scripture about weddings...
by EndofMysteries inthe 1997 wt, 4/15 page 26 is about weddings and more rules the wt tries to enforce to take the fun out of even weddings.
"while a disfellowshipped person could be allowed to attend the talk at the kingdom hall, the watchtower of april 15, 1984, said: it would be unfitting to have in the wedding party people who are disfellowshipped or whose scandalous life-style grossly conflicts with bible principles.
- isn't that funny?

Right on Billy! Or how they can bend the rules for a couple who is under nineteen, still in the world and they are allowed to get married in our last hall. Studied with for half a year, fresh out of the world, was told not to have sex(?) until they were married, got married before husband or wife were baptised in our last hall. The day they got baptised, they had two parts on the same day at the assembly! Didn't even have to pioneer. Was made an ms within one year from the time he started studying. The cobe would have him look after his dog while he and his wife would go to Florida for eight weeks in the winter. When he was announced as ms, the cobe stated from the platform that he wanted to reassure the congregation there was no simony with this young man being made an ms. Just sickening. Oh, by the way, this young idiot was one of my accusers whom the elders knew would go to bat for them even if it meant he would have to lie.
So yeah, Billy, they can bend the scriptures anyway they want to suite themselves even if it means that one has to take it up the you know what! No one in the congregation could believe these two were allowed to get married in the hall without even being baptised. The wedding party on the brides side were all in the world. On the grooms side it were all single horny nerdy brothers.

They made me throw away a windchime!!!

They did the same to me but I told them that's where I draw the line. I told them that when I had bought my wind chimes, I had bought them for the nice relaxing and soothing chime that I hear from them and second, the chimes were always the first to give us a warning of a storm or tornado coming.(we live in tornado alley). They had already convinced me to throw out my Nastradamas book along with a beautiful statue of a woman carrying a baby done in mother of pearl. Again, I had bought that statue reminding me of the baby I had lost never thinking it was the mother Mary and baby Jesus. So what if it were. Don't some have pictures of their mothers holding them as babies? No difference. For me it something soothing to me since I had lost my baby while carrying it in third term. But that didn't matter to them. That is how demon crazed they are.

If they want to get you off their hit list, they will. We didn't even have christmas lights and they stalked us for three hours outside our gates. We have no tresspassing signs up so they sat at the end of our lane on the other side of our locked gates one Saturday morning. The one elders grandmother had also passed away the night before and that didn't stop the goons from counting their time. Just wicked. And don't think they won't make up lies and turn congregations upside down giving you a wicked reputation. They are trained by this slimey org to do what ever it takes to protect their wicked sheep and let the good ones leave. So glad we're out. The df'd hubby but won't df me. Just publically reproved me even when I asked the co to be df'd, he said he had to follow the rest of what the body of elders say and do. It was a nightmare but now it was so worth it. We have our freedom.

If You Were Still "In The Truth" What Type of Life Would You Have?
by minimus indo you think you would be just going thru the motions?
would you be an elder, ms, or pioneer?.
i think there are many that stay in the religion simply because of family/friends considerations.

OMG!!!!!!!! Outlaw, how many times did we hear those same words over and over. I would always ask them back what is it that you miss about us and they would have the stepford wife look. And the picture on the right is exactly what the idiot goon elder said to my husband followed by our judicial meetings are very loving. You have nothing to worry about. WOW! That's all I've got to say is WOW!

An extremely lonely one like it was before. That's how we had found JW Net! Asked why am I so lonely Jehovah's witness and it brought me here. To think we were volunteering at bethel, pioneering, ect,,, doing everything they asked of us(for association) and there still weren't no friends. That's when we had enough. Seriously, do these dead beats really think people are going to give up their friends and businesses to come into this pail of puke? Especially when they had tasted the good life first? Never again will we hand over our lives to a bunch of idiots who have nothing to offer their sheep!
Now we have more friends and WE get to pick and choose who we want as friends. We have our freedom and freewill back again and that my friends you can't put a price on. The witlesses would always ask about what's going on in our lives but would never tell us what was going on in theirs. That's because they had no lives. How sad. You always felt you were having a one sided conversation always talking about us. When it was their turn, that's when they would have to go to the washroom or do a dissappearing act. Weird. No personalities and no freewill.
