hello everybody :) i have been visiting this forum for some time.
i noticed that many can't really free from the past in the org despite many years outside of jw.
i was awaken with a bang.
"stirred but not broken's"
......experience above is just heartbreaking. Imagine, being in your while life like him and his family, only to be tossed aside like human trash, and treated worse than dirt. Truly, "by their fruits you will know them." JW's are a group of total poseurs. I'm so glad to be out and away from them, that I could do backflips down the street.
so i haven't been to a midweek meeting in some time.... but i must attend this first clam (not to be confused with 'klan') meeting.
.
want to take a look for curiosity sake then go back to never attending another midweek meeting again.
the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.
the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!
personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.
i have been lurking on this site for 3 years and this is my fist post.
i would like to thank everyone for helping me wake up.
i was baptized at 24, married at 25, ms for 18 years mentally in for 24 years but started to wake up 3 years ago doing research to give public talks, and the actions of arrogant and narcissistic brothers and sisters did not help.
I've always enjoyed Simple Minds. My favs include: "Someone, Somewhere, in summertime", "Alive & Kicking", "Belfast Child," and of course being American "Don't you forget about me." They just performed at the MTV VMA's a few months back, but looked really horrid. Molly Ringwald introduced them......but as I said, the lead singer in particular looked really out of sorts.
Welcome!
so as many know....ive been df'd goin on 19 years already.
i drive pops to meetings, and drop him off on saturdays for fs.. well yesterday, the elders ask to speak to me, and tell me that if i plan on returning to jehovah, i had better shave my beard off..
omg!!!!!!
Hey look Ma, a WatchTard apologist! Let him speak, for he only makes Lett look like a rocket scientist!
Imagine, being all "Holier-than-thou", then having the audacity to break the GB's warnings about apostate sites, and to come on here and spout off antiquated BS about how decades ago it was required that employees of Disney shave their beards? Like that crap has any relevance in today's society?
I haven't laughed so hard, in so long at someone like Mark Zyche. I wonder, does that guy even realize what for a freakin' TOOL he is? Have you humbly upped your monthly donations to the Worldwide Fund, as GB Member Lett "requested"?
Also, do tell, how are your career choices (molded by WT advice) in the prosperous fields of the Food Service Industry and the Custodial Arts? How is THAT sh*t working out for you?

lett is back with a vengance!.
* the last money-begging effort increased donations by 15% for two months; a letter by a 13 year old who donated is read out loud.
* since last may "so many good things have happened".
When I viewed this full-screen, I noticed that Lett has his initials embroidered onto his shirt cuffs. I couldn't see his watch brand though. The only people I know of who have their initials embroidered onto their shirt cuffs are the worldly business and political class who can afford to have such luxuries as gold Apple Watches, Rolex Submariners (with Serti dials) and whom also wear tailored Brooks Brothers suits. Must be nice, huh? Jesus Apostles didn't have a place to rest their heads, but these money-grubbing clowns wear tailored suits with their initials embroidered on the cuffs, Rolexes, and have every whim, need, and desire taken care of for them. What a bunch of PARASITES. They love their "Sheeple", because they love fleecing them 24/7/365.
this is a conversation i had with my father when a short article on the pope came up on tv.. joe= you know i think this pope will do good things for the catholic church.
he's trying to get greater financial transparency not only for his organisation but also for religious institutions in general.
i mean the guy even chooses to drive around in a very modest car to save a dollar.. father= true.
my study conductor lectured me about my attitude this morning!!!!
apparently some sister complained to her that my attitude was irritating.
the sister in question is just bothered by the fact that i ignore her along with her four daughters.
I gotta luv how when you snub these assholes, well then all of a sudden it's about YOU not stumbling OTHERS????? WTF?
I would have told this Elder that SHE has stumbled me with her drama and hateful attitude, and that I've merely applied JESUS council on the subject by "turning the other cheek." If she has a problem with it, might I suggest "deadening her member" (brain) so as to not become stumbled.
You gotta learn to turn this sh*t around on these toxic manipulators, to show them up as the assholes that they are.
[note: copy/pasted this with permission from reddit.].
once each year, the governing body writes a direct letter to the congregation members included in the yearbook.
in his annual message to the catholic faithful (urbi et orbi) delivered on christmas day, the pope spoke about world peace, terrorism, and the refugee crisis.
I like my ink. Got it at 20 & 26. I also regularly eat shellfish. I earned my red wings, and I didn't even have to consider myself unclean for 30 days after sacrificing some doves at the alter.
I might do any of these things again without guilt, seeing as how we're no longer under Mosaic Law.
F' this CULT.
