  When bad spelling trolls leave, new bad spellers (studies, JW's, JW lovers) arrive

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i will totally leave names out, as many get all huffy about that.

  it's also possible that i am wrong, though i doubt it.. it's just that some trolls seem to deliberately be terrible spellers to make themselves look more naive and when they leave here for whatever reason, some new bad speller comes along in less than a week with an impossible problem or a complicated love situation with a jw or they are a firm believer with questions.

  just watch out.

  QUESTION TO JW REGARDING THE DOCTRINE OF 144,000

  by Celestialfrontier in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am not a jehovah's witness, and until yesturday i never knew the beliefs of your congregation.

  when i did finally read them, i was amazed to discover that most of what the lord has revealed to me as truth, through my prayers and studies, is found in your beliefs.

  and out of all the christian denominations that exist, "most" of your beliefs are according to the word of god, unlike the other churches.. .

  Pastafarian blog

  by GapingMouth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving jws i have found myself increasingly impatient with religion and just how stupid some things are that people believe.

  i understand not all of you on here are atheists, but i wanted to point out my new blog.

  in my blog i am a believer that the spaghetti monster exists and base my writings as such.

  Status: Compromised. Not much time left.

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  something terrible happened.

  i did something to compromise myself and unfortunately my double agent status is over.

  i will soon have to move out on my own and either disassociate or face an invasive witch trial that i honestly would only take part in for the purpose of secretly recording it.

  That @#(*$ slapped you? If you're old enough to be kicked out of the house, you're too old for corporal punishment. What the HELL made her think that was ok to do?

  -----------

  Nothing new or different here from certain jw perspective . Got smacked around whenever the mood came over either of my parents especially mother. Got older and stronger and was able to block the blows from her but, learned self-control and never struck back. Moved out at 17 after graduating high school.

  --------

  Sorry sd-7 I feel for you. Lots of good advice in this thread. Be careful with freedom it’s an intoxicating thing to experience for the first time.

  What response would you give to this JW illustration ?

  by troubled mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my jw in laws send us these types of emails every once in a while .

  never is there any real personal correspondence from them and it irritates me.

  i have sent emails back before critiquing the logic of some of their emails.. i will be sending a response to this latest one ,and i would appreciate some ideas .. i know many of you on this forum are so excellant with your words i would enjoy your input .. the first thing that came to my mind after i read the illustration was "i am so glad i am no longer on the endless tread mill of witness logic that has you running forever from scary imaginary spirit beings ".

  so the part when you said you have spoken to your elders and told them you post here is true? that's a bare faced lie and you know it, what cong are you in, who is the PO and what is the name of the elder you spoke with? Let me call them?

  Ouch that looked like the hook got set deep.

  What Is Involved In a PROPER Letter for Reinstatement as a JW?

  and how do you prove it?.

  Spike it varies from cong. to cong. and the person will probably be more successful having an elder in the cong he wants to get reinstated outline what he needs to put in the letter.

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a dub.....and had such good friends...party friends....vacation friends.....we never even did the morning text, cause we all woke up at different times depending on how much we drank the night before.........we could be on a cruise, at a beach house, or riding board in colorado......and damm....spiritual wt conversation was not in the picture!!........

  so kinda funny that they all shun me now, even though i am not dfd........so if i had them over sociall....should they even come, what are they afraid of?...........i mean back then the bible shit never ever came up anyway............oompa.

  Talking about the party or rumors about talking badly of the party would be held against you if you were informed on.

  Expressing doubts about the official history / events / doctrines would be held against you.

  Listening to rumors about secret scandals would be held against you.

  The could come at any time and take you away.

  This was very common in the communist party apparatchik my friend, they made families inform on each other. - Sergie F. (conversation with a co-worker 6/97)

  ---------

  He also said that talk generally avoided topics that could get you into trouble if it was reported, or be construed as criticism, or trying to cause unrest by repeating false stories. He didn't know how well I understood what he was talking about.
