Uhh, folks...pretty sure notoneoftheboys is just trying to make a point.
He gets it. But thousands don't.
i was never told before i got baptised that i would loose my family if i got disfellowshipped.. no one told me i would get disfellowshipped if i had a blood transfusion.
no one told me that the gb was all powerful and tolerate no dissention.
that if i spoke to a d/f person i would get disfellowshipped.. no one told me in my marriage bed there were rules if broken d/f shipping resulted.. i was told my brothers would die or care for me.

i am not sure if this guy is really from bethel, or walkill, but if he is....this poor guy really tells it like it is from the heart.
he was surprised.. at the 'oh so fast, pack your bags, get your stuff outta here' layoff !.

And Fisherman cannot understand why he has so few friends here. Personally, I've always found that people trying to defend the indefensible resort to name-calling when they are countered with logic.
hi guys,.
i might go to the meeting.
i stopped going in my heart properly in nov 2013, but i went to a couple of meetings to support a love one that was df'd and tried to teach them a little ttatt.. now another df'd loved one is coming to see me today and will likely encourage me to try and get ri'd, and i want to support her.
Dear Sam,
You worked so hard to stand on your own after leaving that it makes me sad to hear that you're thinking of going back, even for one meeting.
If you go with a DF'd friend, it seems that you are supporting and promoting the borg as the right place to be.
Please ask yourself why you are really thinking of going because it sounds like the friend is an excuse. Ask yourself what positive outcome there might be? I see nothing but negative reactions from your daughter and son, and your mean-spirited ex, and as someone pointed out you'll be used as an example of how miserable ones are that leave--they can't be happy and have to return.
Not something to be done on a lark, methinks.
this interview was posted april 16, 2015 on youtube.
lorenz reibling's replies to the reporter in argentina are in english.. lorenz reibling is intimately connected to the watchtower society and, according to some sources, is a jw himself.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ssa-9yvii.
so who is lorenz reibling?
I knew they were rotten at the core but never realized how gangrenous the jwborg is at heart. Just an amazing job of research, OrphanCrow. I'm going to have to revisit this post several times to stomach it all.
I really, really think you need to find someone to publish this in the Real World (if there is such a thing). I am totally aware that jdubs won't read it BUT those inclined to feel compassion for or "study" with the dubs might step back into reality once they realize the scope of their lies and coverups.
At the very least, if your writings save ONE person from joining the cult - it would be worth it.
Thank you for all your work!
i hear a number of disfellowshiped are quickly reinstated in acertain circuit in japan.one disfellowshipped person who are obviously in worldly.
clothings, attended a meeting.whole congregation thought that person was not yet sincerely repented,but, announcement was made that the person was reinstated.branch office and circuit overseers are eager to bringdisfellowshiped back to the organization.local elders are not very pleased about it..
Gotta keep those numbers up, right?
I know of two openly adulterous and slanderous ones who were reinstated in eight months or less.
I think the only requirement is that the person is not actively proselytizing against the borg.
that's wat i heard the other day.
now you pay fines for your sins.. adultery is a 450 euro's ( for a firsttimer).
smoking is a 300 -500 euro's sin ( depents on what the blow was).
Are you sure you're not thinking of the catholic church???

well, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.
besides the usual 1914 assertions/ world getting worse all the time/ our day is the worst of all time nonsense, the co mentioned some interesting things.
number one won't surprise you.

a huffington post link to an article where serena williams 'secret weapon' is you know who..... interesting read .
When jdubs are killed in bus accidents as they are heading to conventions, they praise j-a-h because some survive. So what, he just let the others die because he's not powerful enough to save them too?
Such rubbish.
i hope everyone is having a good saturday.
i've visited this many times in the past month or so, joined yesterday and finally got the nerve to post!
needless to say, i'm super nervous, being new to this whole experience.
