yes that's me, i am victorious!
i had enough after about 4 years knowing ttatt.
sent my da letter and it has been anounced at the meeting.
Isn't something like 90% of Scandinavia considered to be "non-religious", even atheist already?
Bet you natives just LOVE all of the middle-eastern immigrants/refugees that have been crowding into your countries as fast they can to mooch off your welfare systems, drain your resources, push their Sharia Law practices, etc.....all the while bitching and moaning about how they though they'd have it better?

I've seen that Kevin Smith experience with Prince before. It really proved to me just how out of touch with reality, and how much of an asshole Prince really is. Here on the last day, Kevin Smith worked long long hours and sacrificed time with his own son on Father's Day, and Prince couldn't even say "Thanks" at the end of it. I'd have been royally PISSED at such callous, disgusting treatment. But then again, this same level of hatefulness is pretty commonplace in Kingdom Halls all across the world. Goes with the territory. (Ha!)
Prince was a musical genius and an eccentric, self-centered asshole all wrapped up in one. I for one, can't understand the fascination or falling all over him over his death.
i think i have a unique involvement with jws.
i'm not a baptized member.
my mother has been devout for over 20 years.
Run. Run as fast as you can, and as far away as you can. Your "partner" isn't ever going to truly leave, and he's apparently some momma's boy who's too whipped to even stand up for his kids or YOU.
Nothing is ever going to get better in this situation. It's all downhill from here. Take note of what you have, and leave. Leave now, and spare the rest of your adult life. Thank me later in hindsight.
i've read in an article on that in 2001 prince wanted director kevin smith to make a movie based on his album the rainbow children.
but the director dropped out when he realised that it was going to be a recruitment film for jw's including flashing messages on screen like "jesus christ is god's son" etc.
has anyone else heard this before?
Prince was a half-crazy recluse who hid his promiscuous lifestyle under the the label of "eccentric creativity." He was a musical genius, but make no mistake about it, if you or I looked, dressed, or acted like him while professing to be a JW, we'd be out on our asses so fast you'd be dancing thru the Purple Rain. He got away with it because he had the $$$$, just like Venus and Serena, etc.
I've seen Kevin Smith's stand-up where he talks about his week-long experience with the "Purple One." It solidified my opinion of Prince as privately crazy! He and Michael Jackson must have been separated at birth.
Two fine "examples" of what motherly JW influence will do for you. Ha!
how long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.
the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.
those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.
i will reserve comment but mr. pole has regularly represented the canadian branch of the jws'.
he is their go to lawyer when needing non-direct society representation.. disappointed at how slimy he has become.
he and i used to be friends.
ralph and pam candelario were active jws in colorado.
ralph murdered pam.
professor jim penton was invited to appear at the trial last month by the prosecution as an expert witness to answer questions about jws.
i hope slim hasn't left the forum, ( again) but i noticed his last post was post 10,ooo which is quite an achievement and a great statistic to say " au revoir" on.
( yes i studied compulsory french at school, but " au revoir" is all i can remember so i may as well use it) .
anyway now for the " slimboyfat" challenge, can anybody here name past or present posters that have made over 10,000 posts?
i left the organization in 2011 and never look back.
i left behind my sister and her two daughters by mid 2015 both her daughters (both are in their early twenties) were disfellowshipped and left the organization.
she has decided to go to costa rica as a missionary (i guess that's what they are still calling them, unless that has changed, been gone so long i don't know if they came up with a new term for it).
It's funny, I've been all over the world:
Hong Kong: Didn't see any JW's.
Ghangzhou Province of China: Didn't see any JW's.
Bangkok, Thailand: Didn't see any JW's.
Floating Market (Mekong) in Thailand: Saw a Kingdom Hall, on stilts!
Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico: Didn't see any JW's
Nearly every Caribbean island there is: Didn't see any JW's
Canada: Didn't see any JW's. In Niagara Falls, saw many other religions represented.
Peru (Lima, Cusco, Amazon Junge, Machu Picchu): Didn't see any JW's, though saw lots of Catholic charities and heard about JW's, SDA's, and Mormons being a pain in the ass, trying to get money, but offering nothing in return. Poor people here weren't buying their cult crap!
Florida & Hawaii: Didn't see any JW's.
NY & PA: JW's everywhere.
Beaches of New England, USA: Cart "witnessing", everywhere.
Where the hell are all the JWs? I never see any outside of Pennsylvania, and like I listed above, I've gotten around in my 36 years. Next year, I'm planning on trekking from Kathmandu to Everest base camp. Wonder if I'll see any Napelese JW's?
the old guy went out with a bang..l.a lakers.
a great career
