i found it particularly easy to get involved with the other gym members in the suana, or playing with our kids in the pool.. we had a really great time, we even had reading time by the pool.

Last night, I went on the treadmill for half an hour, a toning class, a spinning class, swimming for 20 mins, jaquzzi and sauna. Just what I needed to cope with stress. I feel wonderful, I am going again today. 3 days a week and sticking to it.

Awesome......keep up the good work.

suggestions for elder a nd co visit

by Shaul in

jw
friends

getting a visit tommorow our kids that are in are concerned as to why we are missing meetings.

our family is basically ignored by the congregation long story we just don't want to go anymore.

i have told the kids how rotten i have been treated and also i have had some seriou health issues but you know you should still be at the meetings.

Could you elaborate on how rotten the JW's have treated you? Is that the cause of your health problems? I'm assuming you are female. Do you have a husband to be there with you when they come? Normally, I recommend not meeting with them, but somehow I get the gut feeling that could work against you here. Definately have somebody with you there. Smile & nod and agree with all crap they spew and complain about the rotten treatment you get every chance. Then when they leave, go back to doing whatever you feel like doing. You are in control of your life, not some religious publishing cult. Good luck.

Our teenagers first Christmas tree

by truthseekeriam in

we had fun putting together our first artificial tree last week, it came out so pretty!

the lights and cheap ornaments just add to it.. we have been careful to close our blinds at night to avoid our jw neighbors from calling in the elders, that worked for a few days until we decided to go out for an early dinner and yes, i forgot to close the blinds!

as we drove up to the garage door i could see the tree in the front room and started to freak out a little.

This is such a great story. An X-JW enjoying the simple joy of a Christmas tree. I do however know what you mean. It took me several years to get over the fear of JW's seeing me do something against their rules.

Biggest pain in the side of the Governing Body of JWs

by oppostate in

at http://www.anointedjw.org/ a higher eschelon jw mentions that at a meeting of co's with do's it was stated that anointedjw.org website is the biggest pain in the side of the governing body.. do you feel that what's being published at anointedjw.org is having a big effect on the gb and / or on the congregations?.

if so what is it about their articles there that are opening jw eyes to an awakened state where so many others have tried and failed to awaken jws?.

what do you foresee could hapen as a result of pressure from anointedjw.org and their articles on the gb's attitude and their reactions?.

AlphaMan

There is no such thing as an anointed JW. This religion is man made and all these claims of being an anointed member of a literal Revelation 144,000 is bat-shit crazy delusion. Both this group and the main Watchtower org is bat-shit crazy.

They all laughed when I insisted that the Yellowstone caldera was a threat...

by Nathan Natas in

strangely enough, jesus never warned that "there will be wars and rumors of wars, but if the yellowstone caldera blows, we're toast.".

...and jesus' composite bride through the pages of the watchtower, never suggested that deeply-dipped dubs ought to move out of the area downwind of yellowstone, lest they be transformed in the twinkling of an eye into crispy monoliths.. but up here in the uadna orbiting space platform, things are different.

we're rational.

Walk into your Kingdom Hall and tell us what you saw !

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

this was me driving into the parking lot and into the kingdom hall:.

every week the same brothers and sisters are late getting to the meeting.

elders are talking with other elders ( who always have notes and folders in their hands).

AlphaMan

Makes perfect sense to me that the most intelligent & powerful being who created all visable & invisable would want all to stand up for pure worship of him like this.

Do you look like the apostate they warned you about?

by Angus Beef in

after waking up and wanting to get out of this nightmare, the word apostate is really bothering me.

if i quitely become inactive, fade away will i just be looked at as "always weak".

i want to scream out how big a fool i was.. and now telling my poor young daughter how wrong i was to bring her up as a jw.

JW Apostates look like this.
