my mom tells me last night that she and 'the group' is going out tomorrow.
[ god, she cant talk about anything else but her 'freinds'].
omg why????
We used to be told by the elders that there would be special arrangements for a few hours on the _____ holiday and we were to meet at the hall at 10am. The plan was always to visit those new to the cong who were spending their first holiday without the "worldly" trappings -- never to go door-to-door.
Apparently the "special arrangements" were for all the elders to stay home.
i work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.
at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.
sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!
Apog, that sounds like a great solution except that sooooooo many people the cops come in contact with have guns already. The NRA has seen to it that the laws intended to support state and local militias back in colonial days have been twisted to support massive gun ownership in the US. Because, of course, the right to bear arms means that any local yokel should be allowed to have a semi-automatic weapon in his possession at all times.
many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.
why be two faced?
why try to excuse it?.
My favorite jdubs were the ones who talked trash about other dubs eating a thanksgiving meal on Thursday (thus celebrating the "holiday"). The trash talkers then hypcritically did the same thing on Friday. Friday was not really celebrating, even if you had your family over to eat turkey, stuffing, cranberries, sweet and mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pies, and all your other favorite holiday foods. THAT makes sense, right?
hello to all.
i've been on this site for a couple of weeks now posting here and there but have not had the opportunity to read about many of the regular members and what led up to their leaving the wt.. i understand that some of you (i'm part of this club) may not be able to disclose many details and i can appreciate that.. i'd love to hear what was it that finally made you renounce what is and hopefully soon to be "was" the wt.. i truly look forward to having good discussions.. thank you to all for your kind participation.. .
Lack of love for people but increased love for titles and power, hypocritical and pompous elders, shunning children, change from using Jesus as the example to excessive obedience and reverence for the elder body and watchtower...all topped off by child abuse cover ups. It all became too much to accept blindly.

saving this
exactly a year ago today, i made my first post on jw net.. this then prompted me to disassociate from the jw cult and get my life back.. it's been a rollercoaster year but i can honestly say, after 12 months, i am in a much better place than i was a year ago.. it was the best thing i ever did.
no regrets.
life is hard but good too!!.
Congratulations, Quelly!!!
So disgusting and so disturbing.
These perverts need to be brought out in the open, as I'm sure he's just one of thousands.

let's just make a bad situation worse, ok?.

Man always thinking he can "control" nature...
how should you react when all of a sudden, a loved one has a moment of lucidity.
within the space of a couple of hours, my wife talked about politics, race relations, and gave the kids a passionate lecture about how life sucks without a college degree which is why they should study.
what can i put in her coffee to keep her this way?.
My daughter has a home personality (real) and a dub personality (sad). Don't think she's even aware.
i have mixed feelings about these.. didn't realize that they existed.. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3a%2f%2fwww.canlii.org%2ffr%2fqc%2fqccmnq%2fdoc%2f2012%2f2012canlii84278%2f2012canlii84278.html%3fsearchurlhash%3daaaaaqahamvob3zhaaaaaaab.

Once all the KHs are sold off, will it be a stretch of the imagination that the WTS will shift its real estate interests to building old-age facilities for the millions still waiting, waiting, waiting for armageddon? Just another way to profit off their despicable lies.
