you know, the last little thing that blew your patience out of the water and forced you to face up to the fact that you were in a cult that doesn't believe in the bible so much as it believes in it's own power structure?.
for me it was beards.
stupid i know and possibly the most trivial of things to be 'stumbled' over but to me it was the epitomy of what was wrong with the witnesses - arbitrary rules poking their noses into the lives of people where they had no business.
For me it was beards.
Funny, for me it was the mustaches...
... I could never figure out why some sisters wouldn't just wax that thing off
Actually, it was when I saw in a library book that 607 was false and the real date was 587.
After that, I started questioning the GB's authority, saw that they are a bunch of paper tigers, and the rest fell down like a house of cards.
beware of the 'voice of strangers'.... .
...unless she has a sexy voice, her phone number starts with 1-900, and it costs you $4.00 a minute to talk to her .
seriously, has anyone every called '900' numbers or the like for umm, the entertainment value?

I see these numbers once in a while on TV, and I wonder how these companies make money off of this.
People must be calling in enough to make it a lucrative business.
I don't understand why someone would do this.
Especially guys, since they are typically more visual orientated, but I'm sure guys are the ones feeding these companies because I can't imagine a girl calling in.
My thought provking 'Bradley' Q for the week I guess

I'm DFd, and finis; good and well done with that damn WTS.However, in some respects, discretion is perhaps a consideration?
onacruse
Thanks for the reminder onacruse
For me, part of the freedom that comes with DA'ing myself is that I now have the freedom to not give a flying f....
...um, monkey.
Yep, a flying monkey. I'm not giving those anymore

Wow Valis, you are a badass!
Don't worry ladies, he's got a soft side too...

god d&mn i?m mad!
the ?secretary?
of the congregation just called.
Wow ascot,
I could 'feel' the emotions boiling over in just reading your phone conversation.
Real Chritian folks, aren't they?
If he was actually concerned or felt regret for not helping, he would of apologized and then offered to listen to how he could assist you and your mum.
Pass the buck & never pay it forward. Always pay it to me!
They got a power hungry god ruling over them, so I guess they have no love or compassion to spare, do they?
(((ascot)))

Let's Dare The Ahole JW Lurkers
And just to be clear, Valis was only making this threat to get in the face of the JW lurkers who are a$$holes.
To all you JW lurkers who are just lurking wondering how you are gonna escape from the WatchTower cult and aren't an a$$hole
well, the majority of us are glad to have you here.
Plus, you bump up our attendence #'s by lurking
Sooooo, I dare you to DF me as well!
My names Paul Griger in the Mukwonago, WI congregation...so come and get me.
Oh, that's right. I already DA'd myself, so you can't disfellowship me...
Funny, I still can't find where in the bible the word 'Disfellowship' is.
It must be in the same bible book and chapter as that elusive word 'Trinity' is as well
in case you think you've heard it all, have you heard that the wts has made the following claims:.
1. they and other holy angels are god's wife, therefore the wts elite is the "mother" of christ himself.. .
" the wts elite, of course!.
Very well done Farkel!
You must have innards of steel to be able to stomach a read of WTS literature that in-depth.
The WTS would like to have all of the power of God & Christ [and actually do wield such power with the R&F], but without any of the accountability that goes along with such awesome power
The WTS is the bastard son that arrives to a large family run business after the father dies to now take control of the business without knowing or doing one damn thing about the business. And the bastard son wants none of the blame when he runs the whole business straight into the ground ruining thousands of lives.
The scariest predicament the WTS finds themselves in, IMHO, is not just the awesome amount of control they have over millions of lives, but the damning responsibility they will have to answer for to an actual Creator for the incredible misuse of their influence.
The jury is still out on what exactly 'God' is, but one thing I do know is this:
If 'He' wants to send me to Hell for sinning, then the amount of fire that I will get for my mistakes will only be a small campfire to roast my marshmallows on compared to the amount of fire the men at the WTS will get who perpetuate the unflinching machinery that grinds forward without a care.
Making themselves out as a savior of men is no small weight to carry, and I can only imagine that it carries a mighty penalty for misuse as well.
As an aside note, I always found it of interest that this book's title, "Then is Finished The Mystery of God" so closely resembled the title of the 'milestone' book of 1917, "The Finished Mystery".
It seems oddly like a well thought out act on the part of the WTS to assimilate the "The Finished Mystery" book and it's contents so that JW's would pay little attention to what is actually said in that pile of rubbish.
Does the WTS really feel that "The Finished Mystery" was in fact, a ?milestone?? Don?t forget that this book was published during the period when Jesus supposedly inspected mankind?s religions and found the International Bible Students worthy enough to be selected as the FDS. So the book must contain spiritual food that is of a high enough caliber that moved Jesus to select the IBS as his ?goto? religion of choice.
I wonder why JW?s don?t study and revere this book today?
No, instead the information found within this book landed the GB in a Federal Penitentiary and the book is now assimilated in name by Fred Franz?s book, "Then is Finished The Mystery of God".
Slippery little devils, aren?t they? 
i am back from underground ... i have more to tell you than you can imagine ...
i cannot use my old screen handle for now, but we are working on that, and it will be restored as soon as simon and i can get it done.
so, simon has allowed me to create a new screen name for the time being.
Wow, thx for the update Amazing!
Nice to have you back
three years ago, i decided that i would no longer support the jw religion.
having family in the "truth" as many of you know, can complicate the leaving process as the jws use the threat of df/da and loss of family as a weopon to try to control you.
i decided to fight fire with fire.
Your right Paul it would interfere with your porn time
Should you really poke fun at my mission to bring the WTS down with porn,
...since you are a beneficiary of all my diligent work?
I can stop those emails you get showing you prospective replacement wives at anytime
