  I've noticed alot of XJW's who leave young tend to have Maus-like experiences. Being shut out from their society and struggling to make a new living. Their survival instincts are tough, but nobody can understand their background and their relationships are always strained.

  When I read Maus, I found many paralells between the 2 situations. Vladek was your typical survivor, even though he was very heroic, he has alot of emotional scars from his prior incarceration. So were a lot of XJW's you've left young, namley Jessika. Anyways, I thought it would be something cool to share.

  *Update* I'm still at my house and I'm still being put on watch by my folks. Other than for the meetup on Saturday, I'm probably not going to be doing anything for a while and odds are, I might be going to the hospital next week.

  Take care folks.

  i live in a sports city where hockey is the national sport.

  being an oil town, we've experienced the flush of success and the misery of defeat.

  we haven't seen the stanley cup since our heyday in 1990. we're so game-crazy, the city's motto is, "city of champions.".

  "Finland - Canada 5 - 0"

  As much as I think it's great that you guys beat the Mounties, Olympic Hockey is lame. What's hockey without fighting?

  "I go to University of Wisconsin -- Madison, home of the US College National Champions! "

  Yeah. What would the results be if you faced off against a team from Minnesota?

  You'd probably be cool at an apostofest too. Another person would be Miss Jones. She looks like she can cause pure hell!

  Hi. It's former "Brother" Lucas. You may have noticed that I've been attending the meetings latley. I haven't returned to my vomit (Which is an apt term to refer to your cult). I was rather strongarmed into going back because I called my dear mother on her abusive past towards me and I had a sudden flashback and lost my control and screamed at her, and she told me I either had to attend the meeting or leave the house.

  As much as you would like to tell everybody in the hall "Look at former brother Lucas, he used to be apostate and now he's coming back to the hall", get the message straight, I have no interest in returning to your religion. Everybody in your fucking hall is smug and patronizing and treats outsiders like shit. Which, BTW, is a perfect reflection of your church.

  Oh, and by the way, me and D*** had a conversation, and from what he told me, he already knew about the UN incident. I wonder how he knew? Could it be that he's been surfing the XJWnet? Anyways, I'd like you guys to know that I do not consider your racket "The Truth" and now I know that you guys surf XJW sites. I hope you guys learn alot.

  [email protected] . You can mail me and tell me how I'm going to die in armageddon as much as you want. You and I both know it's not going to happen.

  Special Awake, Special Campaign - Are JWs Creationists?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts is doing it again, another special campaign.. the september awake will be a special edition titled, is there a creator.

  the entire magazine will focus on jehovah the creator, jehovah's witnesses are they creationists, was the earth created in 7 literal days, a special ypa article dealing with creation.

  the congregations are instructed to order additional copies (in addition to their regular supply) of this awake to place in the territories.. why all the special campaigns?

  They're not creationists as they're not a cult. They redefine both terms to exclude themselves in their own magazines, often with flimsy criteria.

  A statement in the Watchtower that angered me...

  by slimboyfat in

  2. friends

  the study article on the "patience of jehovah" a few weeks back caused some discussion on the forum.

  but there was one particular turn of phrase that stuck out in my mind concerning job:"the outcome?

  jehovah "blessed the end of job afterward more than his beginning.
