Faded for almost 10 years and still getting random calls
by ctrwtf inhi all, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.
wifey and i dropped off the face of the jw planet almost a decade ago and still get 3 or 4 visits a year mostly when we are not dressed or expecting visitors.
it's really annoying because we are both wondering why they don't get the hint already.. we don't want to move because we really enjoy where we live and both have careers that keep us in the area.. i've asked politely that they stop calling but like the "godfather" they keep "pulling me in.".

Christmas is just around the corner and if you really want to get rid of them, put up a christmas tree and they will figure you folks went over to the dark side. And if they drop by give them a candy cane and wish them a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year....Or you can tell them it's BS and you will not have to put up with their BS.....Good luck!!!! -

Biblical incidents that bothered me.
by EverApostate ini wanted to discuss the (supposed) biblical events that disturbed me a lot when i was a jw.
these incidents were just read and discussed in the kingdom hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't.
perhaps this led to my awakening.

Why would 1/3 of the Angels in heaven follow Satan, unless heaven sucked. They were booted from heaven and offered what by Satan? Was it resentment of us (human), don't make sense. OK so Satan was power hungry, but 1/3 of all the angels is a large number to follow another blowhard..Maybe if he and 12 followers were kicked out of heaven, ok I might believe but 1/3 no way......

GOD: Adam you will be a screw up, you and EVE. "I know what's in your heart" and if I don't get rid of you two and create another, the world will go to sh---t. Sorry buddy I know what's in your heart and it stinks..

Superpower after perfection?
by The Real Edward Gentry inthere is much speculation about our perfect life ahead.
a big way jw's are wrong is they do not allow for the human need to specualte on this life ahead.
except for governing body, no one else can speculate.

How about the 70 Virgins, oh hell that's the wrong religion but the power to talk with my dog and he answer back that would be a great pet....JUst think I could become faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Why is that power so familiar...

The moral of the story (kids maul by bears) bald people are temperamental, end of story....OR, God can become a raving maniac if you cross him....

Killed first born. (Ex.12:23 )Who is the destroyer that God will not allow to come into their homes? Slaves beaten. (Ex. 21:26-27) Slaves can escape death if their tooth is knocked out by their master, they can go free. Elisha: God is bald so He took offense.. Uzziah: We can be thankful that God don't do to us what he did to Uzziah when we commit our very first sin. And Daniel's a little excessive revenge by GOD, but we must remember young immature children ripped apart for teasing a bald head man. My grandkids rub my bald head and my friends and family tease me about my baldness and not once have ever thought about calling down bears from the foothill....
