several times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.

i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.

indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.

Why do religious people make claims and then refuse to back them up?

Viviane: Also, spanking costs extra, how rude of him to assume!

And I'm sure it's worth every penny!

How much extra for high-heels and fishnets? I've a thing for them too.

I've just been disfellowshipped!

by maksutov in

apparently it was announced last night.

i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

i understand it is due to my apostate book.

I hope your father doesn't cut you off, but--sadly-I wouldn't be surprised.

So many of us here have been shunned by family members.

The power of cult, mind-control is very strong.

my husband is awake,yay!

we haven't been to meeting since february, although we attended the memorial.

when jws have called us we say we are amazing, everything is awesome much to their shock.

Billy: I really think that we exJWs have paid much closer attention to the JW broadcraps than the sheeple do.

I 100% concur. I am WAY more up-to-date on JW "theology" now that I'm an evil underground apostate than every single active JW I know. Whenever I talk to them, I can easily trip them up on "New Light" that they don't quite have down.

It's kinda fun to make them squirm that they don't even know their "own beliefs."
