Apathy trollies in my city.

by punkofnice in

is it me or are people giving them a wide berth?.

I like the way you call them apathy trollies. The JWs have nothing to do standing there all day. I always approach them if I am free as they have no one else chatting to them. I normally tell them my story and see if they respond favourably. Some cut me off and direct me to Bethel or my elders, but some actually listen and agree that there is injustice.

Some give me their experiences. As long as I get a listening ear I will always approach them, you never know who will respond, have doubts and do some research and eventually leave

How do you feel about exJW's who resist our efforts to effect change?

by nicolaou in

i've met a few.

i'm not talking about the jw who, whether df'd or not, falls off the radar and just gets on with living a normal life - good luck to them and may there be many more!.

i mean the former jehovah's witness who is now enjoying all the benefits of a cult free life thanks to the efforts of many bloggers, posters and activists, but is critical of the efforts of someone close them to free more jws.

I agree with you Nic, I haven't read the full thread yet but I was stimulated to respond early. Many freed ex JWs are embarrassed of their past and tell active exJWs to shut up and stop being active. While I don't agree with it I don't rub it in their faces.

I don't put anything up on my FB page and I don't approach JWs uless I am alone or the person with me doesn't mind.

I can understand they are embarrassed and want to put it all behind them but I don't condone it. They should get over their embarrassment and be more understanding of what we are doing to help other JWs.

I Don't Get It!

by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

Well I think guys in general like older women. I am divorced and 41 yrs now and dating in the outside world. It's been fun and good experience. One of these experiences is that I get a lot of interest from guys in their 20's. Personally it's a big turn off for me and I did date one guy that was in his late 20's.

They seem to want stable and mature women instead of girls their age to support, and maintain their looks, hair extensions, nails, fake tan etc.

I also agree with another poster, some of these JWs might have mummy issues.

Getting it out of my system, a VERY long introduction/outpouring..

by adimmedlight in

warning, novel ahead:.

after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.

i am the oldest of 5 kids.

KateWild

Welcome,

Your story is written wonderfully. I feel for you having a father that was inconsistent. We just need stable parents to bring us up. I am not trying to make excuses for him but the WT probably messed him up loads and caused a lot of his problems as an adult.

Don't make the same mistakes he did and stay completely away from the WT now, it's a dangerous cult and can have a mental hold on people that will cause them to be controlled by WT thinking. Think for yourself and keep on learning about the other side to this religion.

Take care

I Went Into "Cult Mode" The Other Day..

by humblepotato in

if you recall, i'm just coming to grips with ttatt and atheism after a few years of doubts.

made a long post around here, a while ago, talking about the very subject.

but, anyways.... so the other day, my wife was telling me how she was just exhausted and "peopled out.

KateWild

Wow real cult mode!!!!!

You really need an exit plan. I sometimes find myself talking to Jehovah....but then I just say to him......

"well you don't care anyway so I am not going to bother "

But I have never thought going to a meeting was good for me whilst I knew TTATT .
