hi, my mom is dying of cancer and my jw brother and sister refuse to take her to chemotherapy, i thought of providing this information on their business website to debunk the claim they are "a loving family constuction company".

my next door neighbors keep asking me why i am the only one taking her to radiation and chemotherapy, should i tell them my brother and sister are the biggest pieces of shit in san luis obispo county and they hate me because i got rid of two pedophile elders by threatening the watchtower society?.

Gypsy Sam

What is the reason they give for not taking her to chemo?

Link to the WT library of things that you wont find on the WT Library

i just discovered a site today that has scans of most of the magazines/publications ever published by the wt bible and tract.

it is not an "apostate site" it just has the material and no commentary.

those of us trying to wake up jws may find this useful as we can show old quotes and publications without sending out red flags.. we are supposed to be proud of our spiritual heritge right??.

Marked. Thank you.

anyone else bored with religion versus atheism or is it just me?.

i'm planning to go to greece in may.. i'm thinking about planting rocket and beetroot in my garden this year because they are getting rather expensive to buy.. this week i want to make chocolate refridgerator cakes.

some for my daughter who is coming home from uni this weekend and some to take in to work to give away with free tea and coffee because it's national libraries day on saturday.. i just finished reading the humans by matt haig which was brilliant.

I'm at work today, but it's a tad slow so I'm checking email and jwnet :)

One of my girlfriends visited for the weekend and we had thought provoking conversations, some gorgeous beach time, great food and chick flicks. We managed to do this all while having her grandmother, who has demetia, with us. For me, it is an uplifting, refreshing time to entertain and talk with nonrelgious people right now.

edit - I did post on Simon's recipe thread - love the idea.

Interview with an apostate: Bruja-del-Sol

by Bruja-del-Sol in

tell us a little about yourself and your family.. im a 45 year old female.

married age 18 to another jw (pos son), became the mother of two wonderful children, girl and boy (now adults), divorced and dfd when i was 33 years old and since 2008 married to my first love who used to be my classmate when i was 16 (but got kicked out of my life by my dad b/c he wasnt a jw).. were you a born in or a convert?.

my grandmother from fathers side, my parents, 2 of my 3 sisters and their husbands (one is an elder) and kids, my brother and his wife and children, and the wifes of my two uncles are all still jw (uncles both have faded, but their cult personas are still intact, unfortunately).

Gypsy Sam

What a lovely read. Your life in Spain sounds idyllic. What you wrote about JW's raising their children with the mindset that they are superior is so true! It gives a false sense of confidence and does nothing to promote unity with others. Thank your for sharing.

and it was good!!

everyone dressed differently, some casually, some smart-a real mix.i would say there were 70 or so in attendance, all ages.nice atmosphere.ladies behind introduced themselves.young couple in front also.nice songs.toys for the kids.refreshments after.had a little chat with the lady vicar, she asked if i would come again.i felt welcome but not overwhelmed.jesus focused more predominantly than at the kh.i really enjoyed it..

Gypsy Sam

Rub a dub, you make me chuckle every time you post about the towel rule.

I almost went to a friends church, after learning TTATT and not feeling sure what to do. Then, as I was about to get dressed, I thought, I've devoted 36 years to being religious. I'll devote the next 36 to studying science and being a good person And making up for lost time.

Wish you all the best in your search quellycatface.

dear (jw-brother), .

i was pleased and pleasantly surprised to receive your thoughtful letter.

thank you for your concern and for taking the time to write.

Gypsy Sam

Excellent letter. I wonder if they ever reference it when "new light" comes out. At least you have your sisters.

Met another poster today

by Gypsy Sam in

i was excited to meet another poster today!

i've been left alone by the elders since the summer and feel like it's now "safe".

although i have a nice, small group of never jw friends, there is something about being around someone that lived with hearing/believing "the truth" at some point in their lives that is a bond unique from other relationships.. our lunch went very well and hopefully we'll get together again soon!

Gypsy Sam

All info was sent on Monday. Apparently, there is one JW working at the newspaper and it's suspect how this hasn't been covered.

Calls will be made starting this week. There is no reason for this to be ignored, whatever religion the molester in involved in.
