David Splane??
Pull my finger!!
this is a report in spanish conerning david splane giving a prayer at a convention.. perhaps someone can translate it better, but google translate gave the following:.
during prayer, should no longer be necessary to bow his head in a mass meeting, as was splane throughout the prayer, head up, down, left and right looking at all tiers, not hiding in the least.. so splane is looking all around at the sudience while giving a prayer?!!!.
can someone confirm that is what the spanish text says?.
David Splane??
Pull my finger!!
for a year now, i have been handling the accounts.
we have 6 elders and 7 ms, and none of them ( i am not serving), want to do the accounts, so they asked me to do it.
here is what i have noticed.. 4 elderly sisters cover the whole congregation in donations monthly!
Nothing?
Wow. That's too bad.
Next!
being raised as a jw i feel dirty even posting here.
my life growing up was one filled with fear.
armageddon was preached to us day/night.
GOod story bro. Can't say i relate at all. But good story. Be strong.
Keep moving down the road. You'll be alright.
i always was a critical jw, now df and agnost.
but still this religion fascinates me.
in my eyes most jw are very sincere, but dumb sheep.. this board is filled with ex-jw.
Lay off of the 1099 guy. He's just trying to find his way like everybody else. He struck a nerve. So what. It's all good.

Yeah. I think if "apostates" which is a cartoon term to me. can laugh it off and keep it light. And give to the JW's....in every way shape and form. In time these jw people will self destruct.
Laugh in the face of the name calling. Laugh in the face of the shunning. Laugh in the face of the failed social experiement. Laugh in the face of the high control narcissists and their narcissistic suppliers. Laugh in the face of the pathological space and the hunt for narcissistic supply.
that's how the cartoon "apostates" win the war against these clowns. Let them shun. Teach the kids to lampoon the entire experience. ha ha ha.
this one is shorter than usual (!
), since it makes a simple point, based on jesus' example found in john 8:.
http://awgue.weebly.com/would-jesus-shun.html.
Yes please cut off your nose to spite your face and leave it at the door.
That is all.
is pretty much all i've got to say.
do whatever you can to help the children in all of this.
build bridges with them.

magotan,
RE:" Quite honestly, if there were no shunning policies, I don't think these boards would exist"
That's a really interesting position. I pretty much beg to differ. Because the wild eye'd narcissist JW would still find ways to manipulate and devour their victims. IMO
alshello.
i'm a practicing jw.
finally decided to create an account to see whether you could all help me.. so i am engaged to this wonderful wonderful man and in three months time we'll be married.
Yikes. Why on gods' green earth would you tell a bunch of self serving narcissists about the fun that you had. Holy cow. Have fun. Enjoy your life. Enjoy and cherrish every moment you have together. Don't feel guilty don't feel afraid. My gosh man, live your life. Get away from that stinkin' cult.

Cope with a narcissist. Abandon or mirror?
