  Ran into some JW's.......but this time I did the teaching ;) x

  so i went out today with my broken leg and got accosted by an old lady, with some magazines.. it was my first ever encounter with a jw in ten years, and i had said 'i know you are jw's, i'm not interested thank you.

  " twice.....then she started talking about my broken leg and how wonderful we are made and how amazing the healing process is.... and that's when it all started...."i used to be a bethelite pioneer, now i'm an atheist doctor...".

  she was with me a good 30 mins, her elder husband left very annoyed but she stayed, and she was dying to hear everything i spurted out, despite aggressively defending every point, from military engines to paedophilia.

  But this was the point that led him to raise his white flag and go sit in his car. It was a hot day and I didn't envy him. He certainly didn't appear happy to me! - Snare

  Lol hahaha.

  He would have been mulling it over and then they both would have been talking about the conversation just like we are, you struck a chord and now it's upto them to either be honest with themselves or follow blindly. You snapped me out of it, I am sure you will snap others out of it too.

  But I still believe in a creator lol wink wink

  10 years and Satan finally struck....

  i left around a decade ago, life has not been easy, but it has been profoundly better than the jw robotics my earlier life chapters resembled.. my current life was going so well, too well...... and finally the nemesis of jahooha came out from his dark hiding place.

  no longer in gods tent i was as vulnerable as the chinese job and his unfortunate sheep and children.. satan, bless his socks of cotton, has finally attacked, he broke my leg the dark lordy bastard.. a spiral fracture of the fibula and various fractures the ankle joint.. the worst of all his evil doings was the story i have to tell people, it's 'mechanism of injury'..... i slipped on some grass.

  yes the devilish ball rash, got me good.. so now, i sit bored, wishing i had meetings to prepare for, talks to write and i long for the live bombing i would have received as an interesting new kingdom hall event in the decades of waiting on jahooha..... but all i have is some lame ass, american apostates on a forum..... tchhhh.... .

  I missed this post Snare, sorry to hear you slipped on the grass, but I am so glad you didn't fall off your new bike and smash it up.

  It must be so annoying not being able to ride your bike.

  Sorry again for missing the post. But you did tell me to spend less time on here and I have taken your advice and it's been good advice too.

  Apathy trollies in my city.

  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?

  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!

  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..

  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.

  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

  2. friends

  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.

  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 .

  worst day in the last ten years, was the day i hit 0.00 with one and a half years of university to go.

  nobody to turn to, nobody to ask for help.

  i was 32 and as an ex jw had two family members in contact with me.
