  it is my pleasure to announce i have terminated my membership of the jehovahs wittnesses.

  i shall be formally making this statement known to my congregation at tomorrow nights meeting after i have taken the ministry school.

  for many years i have developed my own thoughts on religion and this along with the information i have learned here and on other sites has convinced me that i can no longer live teaching the bollocks the wtbs.

  Hey! It might have been part of her plea-bargain. Many will say whatever they think will get them off the hook. Sucking up is not new or exclusive. She may have had her eye on some Elder's son and want to 'get in position' for the kill. I wonder what she really thinks of her DF treatment? With six million members I think you can get a few who like being humiliated and abused. "Hurt me, beat me, make me write bad checks!" (Rick Dees, LA dejay) Maverick

  Thank you Blondie for enduring another Watchtower and saving us from a spiritual migraine. The boys in Watchtowerland really want to skew the numbers this year don't they? Attendance up, partakers down. This will be heralded from the house tops as a sure sign of the end and time for the RF to work, work, work! Give, give, give us more... so sayith the J-dud masters! Give us your praise, more money, and your children, sacrificed on the alter of the Governingbodygod! I talked with one of my spies at the Hall and was told the Elders are pushing hard to get the inactive ones to the memorial. Of course, once that event is over so will the brothers interest in the inactive ones as well. Maverick

  Letter to old Cong

  by mattnoel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok so some weeks back i send a letter to my old cong, it stated quite a few points which were very serious, some of them would cause certain members of the cong to be diss'd and asking for an explanation as to why certain things happened i.e stepfather throwing mother down the stairs whilst drunk but mother getting reproved etc etc.

  also raised was the issue of the data protection act and wanting a copy of the files held on me and also stating that the baptism is nul and void.

  it was about 5 pages long and i also sent it to various members of the cong.. a week ago i get an e mail from a witness stating that i was out of order - my letter was obviously exagerated and lied about to make me a "mad apostate" aparantly in the letter i have admited to keeping a written record of goings on, i blame the society wholey for my mothers death and i have apparantly sent it to the press.. a couple of days ago i get a reply from the cong and guess what it says, pretty much please forward a cheque for 10 along with proof of id and we will send you the records and thats it !!!!!

  Dear Matt: IMHO you should follow thru and insist that by cashing your check they understand and accept the terms that they are giving you all the records mentioning your name and not just what they interpret as information you are "entitled" to. They should send a letter of conformation to this effect. If they refuse any of your terms, state that this will be proof of their duplicity in attempting to placate you but not truthfully abide by the law of the land. And that if they do send your requested and paid for information in an incomplete manner anyway, they understand this constitutes an act of willful fraud.

  This puts them in a catch-22 situation. If they cash your check they must give you all the records. You would have a good case against them if they refuse to cash the check or if they give you incomplete data. They will be slow on responding. And many forms will have blacked out material. They will hate you for being such a pain in the rear. Have fun with them.Maverick

  Realness, you and I have had some banter and I find it hard to believe you will follow thru with this. I hope I am wrong, but we will see. Regardless, I wish you peace.

  Your most powerful spiritual saying is?????

  we all go through times of stress and sad times.

  what is a simple, yet profound saying that you have reminded yourself of to make these troubling times easier?

  you don't have to believe in a literal god, just that there are higher thoughts within us that we all are able to draw from.. the one that has worked the best for me is: .

  I wrote the CO a very concise letter outlining all the crap that happened to me over the last four years as a Dud. It was not a rant, and I did not name names. He wrote me back telling me he would look into what I claimed when he can back around to my Hall. I knew he was full of s--t right then. He had just left my Hall so it would be six months before he came back. All the brothers knew I travel and would be away during the CO's next visit. And the congs. were splitting up so there would be no way to piece together what I told this clown. He was handling me and I knew it. F.U. Mr. Casper! Maverick

  What are your experiences of dating in the truth?

  by goofy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really never dated that much inside the orgainisation because of a lack of available brothers.

  the couple of times i did not great.

  i once asked a brother out and it was all over the congregation as to how inappropriate that was since it should be the man who does the asking.

  I came in at 24, had a good job, house, nice car, so a lot of young divorced or single parent types had there eye on me. After one sister broke off our engagement because her Elder dad thought I was too 'new' I moved to Calif. and got a job with a newspaper in LA. My older sister was the wife of the PO in a Long Beach cong. and she pulled all the young sisters aside and told them her baby brother was coming to live and he was looking for a wife. I had no clue and was still devastated from my breakup. The gossip mill ran at full speed and by the time I arrived all the local sisters had decided to treat me like a pariah. It was three years before anyone would even go out in service with me, this being the first step all good J-dud take to date. Fast forward fifteen years, after my ex was reinstated she told all the sisters I was a fire breathing abusive monster and they again would not go near me, thank God, this eventually lead to my coming to my senses and here I am. Maverick PS: Now I am a fire breathing apostate monster!
