hey everybody :)
so i am curious about the jw's on here that are still in good standing.
even after i was df'd i still had the brainwash in my head telling me not to go onto an internet site discussing jw issues.
i would say that being in "good standing" means you put in the required quota of 10 hours a month, and make all 5 of the meetings weekly, are a member of the theocratic ministry school, and give talks(kinda the same thing)
according to those critera...... i would not be in good standing
however........ unless my family spills the beans to my old cong, i am simply INACTIVE.... going on 4 years
hey guys just an update.
she e-mailed me and said i only had permission to her ceremony.
i did not get an invite.
hey...... didnt you pay for some of that? if so why dont you have a mini apostafest for your portion of the bill. hell post where its at and we will all go out and buy devil worshiping rock tshirts and cheap booze. i think i got a line on some of thos KISS boots with the dragons teeth on em.
we show up and say........... wait........... were here at invitation of the person who paid for all this........show me the receipts. then we will burn that mother down lol.
just give us the word and we got ya back. lol
ps .......... if the check hasnt been cashed............... ya know what im sayin................ jk lol
couldnt be me....... if i paid for one napkin i would show up regardless of what those fools said. but thing is...... your decision is always gonna be the right one in your case.
an elder who lives nearby has decided to be play the twat with me recently.
i have been out for nearly 2 years, which makes it even more pathetic on his part.. after leaving, this character (thinking i was depressed), would give me the most tactless, thoughless advice that you have ever heard.
he loved 'giving it to me' right outside my house.
tell him that due to his missconduct........ buy allowing himself to be imprisoned in an unthinking mindcontrolling cult you feel it is your god given responsiblity to not even be seen with a represenative of such a dispickable, pagan, man made orginization. bad association spoils usefull habits and a good reputation.
as long as he is a member of a cult which engages in pedophilia and cover ups, along with the blatant absence of love, active destroying of families and disregard for the way that jesus christ lived his life while he was on earth........... you cannot in good conscience speak with him...........
then invite him to church.......
hell you can find alotta tv shows online so not really a contest...... sides the society says internet is bad........... so sign me up
this was great.
especially the quote, "without a doubt, my life is not average," he said.
"but i'd like to say, just because it is excessive doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.".
what i find amuseing about the entire situation is........ now when so many are struggleing finacially especially in his own congregation........ he still accepts the rolls.
i had a hard enough time getting around his name....... creflo dollar.............. its to cleche........ ive been to his church.... he preaches a good message but wasnt for me.
he preaches prosperity and a good message but i guess he chooses to show prosperity as well so he keeps the rolls.
i have much more respect for joel olsteen and bob coy who both have nice rich churches (lakewood and calvary chapel fort lauderdale) but they live a more modest lifestyle. joel made 13 million in his book sales alone so he could totally buy his own rolls if he so chose......... and bob finally decided to buy himself a nice convertable..... instead of a lexus he bought a toyota......... shows restraint.
if im gonna give my tithe i want to see what good things the church is doing with it....... not see them driving a benz much less a rolls
i go to this pub (sort of like a cheers tv kinda pub) and since we can't smoke in there we have to step outside.
last tuesday (on a meeting night) an elder all dressed up walks past me on the same side walk.
he glances at me so i gave a nod gester.
wait about half way through the meeting and burn one in the kingdom hall......... then about 2 minutes before the end.......... during the final prayer........ pop the top of a can of beer............... pssssssshhhhhhhht..... if that dont do it......... during the watchtower study pull out an ADULT magazine and start um....... UNDERLINEING it lol..........oh oh even better raise your hand and make a comment holding the porn mag........... if they will even call on u lol
i have a unique way of doing time (prison rares its ugly head as a thought), i sit with my animals and talk to them and once in awhile i mention that i thank god for them.
sit with them 20 minutes a day and in seven days wa la 2hrs and 20 min x 4 weeks + 2 days left over and you have the magical 10 hrs every month.
what a deal huh?
lmfao.............. hey at least this way your not possibly contaminating people with cult bulls***..........
me personally i say F them and give them a big fat 0 to make up for those long pioneer hours i wasted
i want to make plans for the year's vacations.. i just would hate to make plans, spend money, then the wife says she .
needs to cancel something because of the memorial.
out of town, but not isolated from the jw's..
show up with your own wine glass(a rather large one) and an EMPTY bottle........ and hell bring a pizza.
when you attended your last meeting ever as a dub, did you know it was your last?
did something happen which made it clear in your mind you were 'never going back' (not to be confused with nvrgnbk)?.
the last meeting we went to was the memorial in 2006. we only went because we knew we were already pegged for the elders' unwanted attention, so we had to go to keep them off our backs a little longer.
several times over the years i had been in situations where i wouldnt attend meetings. one time i moved to another area for a job that was pitched to me to be a great job... but the brother i was working for was actually wanting me to do slave labor..........why am i shocked? i had 1 day a week off and every other sunday. so am i gonna waste my time going to meetings.... hell no. i was working 16 and 18 hour days so i quit going to this other hall for 6 months or so............ and i got the feeling............ this is what its like to leave that religion.... no friends, no work mates to become friends with because i was basicly my own boss. kinda realized that cutting off all association with anyone not witnesses...... was the reason i felt this way. i still belived it was the truth even tho i had major doubts off and on.
so quit the job moved back to my home area and started attending again. did that for several years and then i got a damn good job that was an hour away from home. so i had to miss work then and eventually i moved to where my job was........ thing is, this cong i moved to was well within my circuit and i had built halls with half the people who went there and the other half i had been on a bethel trip with so i was well known and i thought liked. got two words said to me the first couple of meetings. so i was like damn............. so i went to meetings a few more times around my work schedule.......... and just a few people saying anything to me at all. so i was like.............damn whats the use with this. so i quit.....
now a friend of mine had informed me about the un and the rest of the blatant bull the society had pulled on everyone........ and i checked it out. but i was still on the fence....... i was like pray and wait on jehovah....... yeah thats what you should do............. with the odd pop and sizzle of the programing failing. so i would work my butt off and then on sunday go back to my home cong for meetings..... then i started doing double time on sundays to get outta that.............. and this time i had friends from work. i finally quit...... dont remember when my last meeting was........ dont need to.
my parents were up my ass to start going back and i had mentioned the un scandal and such before to them and it was like water off a ducks back. so i just left things as they were.
moved out of state...... got married to a fine apostachick and happy as only those who arent subjected to constant mind control can be
this was great.
especially the quote, "without a doubt, my life is not average," he said.
"but i'd like to say, just because it is excessive doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.".
What a crock of crap.... I know for a fact that dude has a hellicopter also... just damn
dawg ......... you forgot the jets cause he flys between his churches in college park and new york.. you know he dont use delta lol
