Hey guys-
My friends in the borg used to say that they heard on Jeopardy tv show that a question came up once that said.........
What is the most accurage bible transalation ever created. they said that the answer was NWT.
Did anyone else ever hear that?
we were just watching er rerun episodes back to back...after the second episode finished chachasmum and i saw an advertisement for the jws.
it started out showing a teenage girl on the computer like she was in a chat room...and it was showing her write love notes to someone whom she thought might be a teenage boy...and a voice over said something like...parents protect your children...then it showed an old, fat man with a bottle of beer, sitting back typing on the computer...then all of a sudden it said, "teach your children knowledge, wisdom and thinking ability"...it caught my ear and i looked closer at the bottom of the screen it read: christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses...and gave a 1-800 number.
looks like they are stealing the mormons' pitch.
Is that from the Real JW'S???? I never heard "Christian congregation" before...is that new?
janh posted this over at kent's.
i think it's pretty funny... and accurate.
ten phases in the development of an apostate
Yeah... I'm at 8 too.
Thanks for the post.....pretty cool.
i once had a guy answer the door naked, and i laughed my butt off... you?
A house I called on turned out to be a fraternity party. They invited me in and I watched them do shots while I tried to place magazines. What a goof I was......I was actually tempted to do a beer bong while talking about the Awake.
They took all my magazines and I got a return visit out of the deal. Also an invite to to come back the next day for another party. (ReturnVisit!!!!)
What a super trooper I was!!!
sorry friends to report, my husband and i are divorcing.
he could not handle me saying i will never go back to the truth.
he is not ready to face all the crap from growing up a jw.
Thank you guys...for all your words.
He says I have grounds......again. (It doesn't take a genious to figure out what he's been DOING or WHO I should say after our separation.) And NO this is not the first time. You are right I CANNOT blame everything on the BORG. I gave all my power to the Borg and to him. I am taking it back now.
There has been too many jw mind games for us to reconcile. i am sorry to say. The $*%& about me trying to figure out the difference between porneia and the deed is just exhausting me. Sitting before the elders twice before to figure this out was humiliating.
i believe he is DID, Bi-polar, &$*%($ up, and a JW true and true to his core. The worst kind.....KNOWS BETTER than to do it....but pulls it out of his $%% when it's convenient.
I am not going back guys....sorry. ...no happy ending here. Yes...you are right... this new girl and him will play "I love being out in the world" UNTIL his emotions come crashing down on him. WIll this new little sheep....get SUCKED in or will she tell him to $^%% off and not care enough to learn about mind control? That my friends, is for that $%#^$# to worry about.
As for me..... I will try my new little apostate wings out in the world...very slowly and VERY cautiously......BUT I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO THE BORG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you alll...........................Scoobs

Sorry Friends to report, my husband and I are divorcing. He could not handle me saying I will never go back to the truth. He is not ready to face all the crap from growing up a JW. He wants to find someone who NEVER knew the JW's. Me saying it is what it is....is too much for him and he is not ready and doesn't think he'll ever be.
A beautiful thing it once was.... at least in my heart. Thank you ...you %&^*$%# at Bethel for destroying my husband....little by little and day by day. If only...................................
I am happy to announce you guys... I AM NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER going back. Thanks to Randy Watters and Steve Haassen for your seminar.....WOW!!!!
For now... I will mourn....... and you $*%&$&% at the Governing body will get yours......

i am curious... do you know some that have left the truth that become "worse" people?
for years i would hear about some who left the truth and rumours how they are on drugs, in jail, etc.
and many bros and sis would say, "you might as well go out in the world and do all the bad stuff..cuz you're dead at armaggedon!".

I know my husband feels this way as he just stopped going to meetings. I am worried that some do NOT seek outside help and just live in what I call a post-JW "suicidal lifestyle".
Do you know anyone like that? Or do most cope eventually in a healthy way?
just want to say that, if you can, try to talk to witnesses when they come to your door....don't give up.. a man i met in field service last year actually listened to what i had to say when i came to his door.
what a sweet man!!!
he then stood there for a whole hour with me and my friend and we talked about truth.

A man I met in field service last year actually LISTENED to what I had to say when I came to his door. What a sweet man!!! He then stood there for a whole hour with me and my friend and we talked about TRUTH. He said he was a truth seeker too. I was ELATED. He invited me back and I took him a ton of literature of course. He READ IT!!!!!! Then we had another talk for an hour. He complimented me over and over on how much I truly cared about people and seeking the truth. That kissed my ego and made me feel good. He then looked me squarely in the eye and said. "You are going to grow past your religion" That scared me and confused me ....but I never ever forgot it.
He talked about finding God through meditation and the love and peace...THAT was God. I sort of understood. He was a VERY VERY nice, respectful man who patiently listened and put up with me while trying to get him back on the wthr subject of the month.
Obviously, his love made an impression...as I am posting on this board. When I have the courage one day... I will find this man and thank him. Please show compassion to the witnesses WHEN you are emotionally able. Some of us were unsure........who would help us? The TRUE love God has for us is one of acceptance and warmth. Please continue and always try to emulate that to the witnesses....they are in DESPERATE need of true friends...as I definately had none in the Borg.
Much Love..........Scooby the Newbie
when i was a kid, i remember my family regularly visiting other friends, including a brother that was the bible study servant.
every week, he would send a different letter to the society on a variety of subjects.
when our families would meet, he would ask us the question and we would do research or give our opinion on what we thought the society's answer was going to be.
The congregation wrote a letter for me asking if it was okay to play sports.
The response was If you do it professionally it is okay, if it is a hobby it is not!!!!!!!!!!
Guess the professionals give them the CASSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Guess my husband who gave up his full ride athletic schoarlship is to BLAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it hurts.
it hurts even more when it is.
you forget your family and friends?.
Thank you so much for the post. It hits what I am feeling right on the head after only two months. It helps so much to hear that these feelings are normal. Thanks for sharing.
