on 01/09/2016 a jw driving an 18 wheeler trailer full of jw literature dies as a result of an accident.
the trailer departed from guatemala and heading to honduras to drop shipment.
a local elder is interviewed as he arrives on the scene.
To see English (or French, etc.) subtitles:
1. Click on the "Subtitles" icon that is at the bottom of the vid to turn subtitles on.
2. Click on the "Tools" icon, then select *Subtitles* from the menu to choose your language.
Here's Google's explanation, if you want more details. You can also use Google translate (steps in the link) if the vid does not already have subtitles, but it doesn't always work. I couldn't listen to a Russian one the other day. Hope that's helpful. xx t
i sometimes was redirected to this page from reddit or another ex-jw site but never bothered to sign up.
i wanted to stay off the radar but since i'm getting dis-fellowshipped anyways and have no plans to come back what the hell.
been 22 years in the truth........... ahhhh i hate to use that expression...... bad habit but you know what i mean.
* crickets *
she is michal, her father acts like saul, and i'm david.. i do care for her since she's vulnerable and weak, i consider myself for her protector a personal kevin kostner.but this is very time consuming, nerve wracking endeavour.. she acts childish, insensitive and insecure, i have spent *** dont' know how many sleepless *** nights, in the last 3 months we're playing cat and mouse, cold and warm & i'm fed up.. this kind of irresponsible behaviour is not yet written in the manual for me to look for an answer.. but finally i do know what i need.
i will look for my bathsheba and settle down..
these soft, brittle creatures
ahahaha! Are you channeling Jane Austen? ahahahaha!
: )
(not to be mean, but that is just ...... 19th century. I love Byron, but it's not *real*.)
i believe the masons we're anti christs, tomas jefferson i read even wrote a bible leaving out anything to do with jesus because these masons new the christ was just a retelling of older god's, some of these gods being from the egyptian religion.. russell was said to be a mason and it's interesting that he traveled to egypt to confirm some of his beliefs.
then after he returns home his religion becomes more like that of the ancient egyptian religion then probably any other christians sect.
like the egyptians the jws believe in a two class system one class goes to heaven to be with god, just like the pharaoh's and the other rank and file class goes to a paradise called the field of reeds.
NN, you are sounding like H_S. : P
(I've realized that a lot of people access through their phones, and that would make searching difficult - home internet is very expensive, almost $100/month here.)
Crazyguy - a lot of people think that Russell was a Mason, because of the pyramid near his grave, and the weird pyramid and masonic stuff on the cover of the early literature. He *did* hang out with them, and I too, think he was a wannabe Mason.
There's lots of threads on the forum about that very thing. xx tal

Y can't blame them they are neglected hence immature.
Most JWS have arrested development, on both a social and emotional level. Boys are just as immature, and tend to have a 1950s attitude towards women.
This is not about blame - It's the reality of your situation; that is, being one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.
craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.
rihanna and chris brown anyone?.
Charlie Sheen is the one who pops into my head, actually. But maybe you are thinking of Troglodytes, not Neanderthals. : P

A lot of JW girls play with boys' feelings. It's the only power they have. Much of the time, they don't even realize they are doing it.
Reality is not always 'nice'.
my brother attended a college for those who " f..led" up at school and got a second chance to do the exams.
anyway george michael and andy ridgley, were two of those fu..k ups, and my brother was quite friendly with both.
as a result i met george and andy before they found fame with wham.. geri hallaway ( spice girl) also came from watford when she grew up and was a friend of my sister ( her mum a j.w) and i once spoke with geri on the phone when she rang asking to speak with my sister.
I knew one famous musician, Kevin MacMichael, UK band Cutting Crew, and collaborated (writing, producing, performing) with Robert Plant for one album. (on the ax in the vid below). He was my friend's (abusive) husband. Are the rich different? Hell yeah - convicted of wife beating 3 times, and never spent an hour in jail.
My best friend is uber talented. He can play over 4,000 songs and has written close to 140. He is anti-establishment, and has never 'worked for the man'. After obtaining his BA Hon. in American History, decided to travel. He is a busker, and went to every province & territory in Canada, and every state in the continental USA, by playing his guitar.
[EDIT: the music business - says it all; it's all about who you know, and do they find you 'marketable' - occasionally, real talent breaks through.]
I like artists, and know a lot of talented people who are musicians, visual artists, writers.
Oh, and speakig of writers, I knew Spider Robinson, who has won Hugo and Nebula awards. He was a draft dodger, and landed here in the Maritimes in the 1970s. I worked with him for a couple of years. Super guy, and I wrote him an email about 5 years ago. We had a brief correspondence. Nice guy, and I love my hippies!

There are many gifted people. Few become rich or famous. xx tal

trey bundy: one year of reporting jw child abuse.
it’s been one year since trey bundy first reported the watchtower’s child abuse problems.. twelve months ago the center for investigative reporting (cir) began publishing information about jehovah’s witnesses and their cover-up of child sexual abuse on their website, reveal.
Trey,
Since Ms. Anderson first posted an item from Reveal, I have listened to several of the programs. Great work, and wow, it's simply, impressive. I'm happy that someone like yourself, and Reveal, would focus on the JW. It's time the truth was told. Few journalists (let alone those who are at the top of their field) want to bother with the JWS - it's not been the easiest subject to research. There is so much secrecy, and they have such a 'good rep' in the eyes of most people, that's it is hard to get the stories told.
So, a big shout-out and thank you from Canada. xx

A direction to wholesome living is possible without either.
Punk's motto: Live hard, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse.
I wouldn't go quite that far, but I have worked hard, partied like a rock star when I was younger, and my only regret is smoking. Happy to say that I am now a quitter, HOORAY! It's an horrible addiction.

So, to the OP.
Your post gives lots of critique about the WTS, but you really don't explain how you got sucked back in. Do tell.
