i refused to give a bible study to some kid.
i figured that many tried and didn't succeed.. i also didn't feel ready for that, nor did i want to drag him to each meeting after that, since he had no family in the org.
the elders weren't happy with my decision.. bottom line, you can't say no, without any consequences..
was asked........ is there anything that would prevent you from being considered for an elder..................
my reply to them was............... lack of experience....................
real response........... HELL NO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, RUN forest RUN
i was out within the year
well, over two weeks after my father nearly died thanks to this bone-head cult, he and mom finally got a visit from one of the elders.
i had left work early the other day as my mom had asked me to pick a few things up for them.
so i pull up in their driveway and notice a few people in a car and figured it was the witlesses and sure enough it was.
They were left sitting out in the car, freezing while he was warm and comfortable in the house having a cup of tea a cookies.
next time....( woudnt hold my breath there) ....... make em some special brownies or exlax cookies ................
of course you have to disable all the tolits in the house so they cant use em............ get them to RUN out sooner rather than later lol
i was kind of skeptical about registering or even posting anything on this site but after a long struggle of going back and forth and after talking to a friend telling me that it would be good for me i decide to do it.
i grew up in a jehovah witness house hold.
it all was great a had a wonderful childhood but everything went down hill when i started to have my own opinion on things.
it certainly takes a while for the brainwashing and conditioning to leave you............. but honestly i felt much more sucidal in the org than out of it..................... welcome
this is maine my homestate so i couldn't let this pass.
building community in a hurry.
mainetoday.com, me -oct 10, 2007. hundreds of jehovah's witnesses are pitching in to put up a new kingdom hall in saco over two long weekends.
well brothers and sisters they will soon have a couple new posts from someone named truthseeker.............
heading to the apostafest this weekend, we have made a deal with our friends to look after our kids.
given that they already have 3 children, adding 3 more could be stressful so we thought we would ask my parents if they wanted to take one overnight.
bobbi mentioned that she hadn't really heard much from my mom and suspected something was up.
first stage........ velvet gloves
second stage... wifflebat
third stage... ...Lead Pipe

im in between stage 2 and 3
my mom is disfellowshipped ... she works as a bank teller.
one of my old friends from high school who went to my congregation went by my mom's window and they talked for a while.
somehow she had her mom call my mom and they even offered to let mom and me visit their vacation home.
AWESOME
first of all i would like to think everyone for the support i recieved yesterday.
i would also like to shed some light on my past, hopefully this does not give it away as to who i might be.
my wife and i were both raised as jw, we were both baptized when were fifteen years old.
you are truely in our prayers...........
whats funny is who is doing the christian thing? the org will resort to guilt and bullying to force their will upon you but on the other hand you who were betrayed......... you have compassion for the wife because you understand her brainwashed motivations.
same with my family when they cut me off for leaving......... i pity them and pray for them but unlike their cult religion i do not condemn them for it.
the hardest part of your road is ahead tho for now due to 99 percent of your family shoveling their guilt upon you but be strong and know that you have our support and prayers
let's if i can put them together.. bobbi/para bumble bee/memario exwitless/ldb blondie/irreverent angharad/simon missanna/bigdreaux sweetpea/pubsinger.
did i miss/mismatch anyone?.
sylvia.
BrentR and Jessica Alba.
nice brent......... got any naked pics of your girlfriend........................ lol
how many pedophiles are your close friends....... and how many times have you touched a child inappropriately?
found out that this new co in my old cong......is a complete A h0le...... he went around yelling at all ms and elders who work second shift or on the weekends thus neglecting their families and threatned to remove them(PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)
his reasoning........... he wanted to see them jump and react, what kind of attitude would they have. would it be an attitude of anger for him interfearing or would it be a humble one of repentance (FOR FEEDING THEIR DAMN FAMILIES)
my question to him would be....... if the society quit paying your salary............. what shift at the factory could your sorry a$$ work?
