  "Of course you can ask questions - even the Watchtower asks them!"

  do you have stories - past and present - about being completely floored by jws responses to your predicament?

  but there have been at least a handful of exchanges in which i knew, even before 30 seconds had elapsed that the exchange was going nowhere fast.

  just over 20 years ago, my dear jw aunty had heard from another source that i had doubts about the watchtower society.

  thats almost as sad as when they protest that they DO research their own religion, using watchtower publications only...

  i have a bunch of star wars toys from a deadbeat tenant that left a bunch of crap in my place, some of them i guess is worth a little money and i'd like to just get something to help with the cleanup cost of my place.

  i hope this is not inappropriate, i don't care about getting the best price i can and i know some of you guys are fans or have kids who are so i thought maybe i list a few things, give you all dibs on it first instead of listing it and the whole 9 yards.

  here are a few items, which are unopened:.

  Yes, not only my on brother, who was abused by a "brother" who actually went to jail. Not because the witnesses reported him, but because the parents in the neighborhood, where he messed with non-witness kids, reported him

  Then, there is the daughter of an elder, who was molested by her own father, THE ELDER. When I asked my elder father just a few weeks ago about this he said "YOU BETTER BELIEVE he was DEALT with" So I said " what, you mean he was reported to the police" then of course his look said it all, he was stumped. Of course they never reported him to the police.

  what condition are the items in? My hubby collects, and I know the better condition, and especially if they are in the box, the more money they are worth.

  Great post. And about being able to identify them, its so easy given how S-L-O-W-L-Y they walk right? Gotta get in the most time possible, with the least amount of actual witnessing being done. Been there, done that.

  Has anyone ever actually met MINIMUS?

  by catchthis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been having several outbreaks of conspiracy theories lately and a wierd one that came to mind was if anyone has ever met minimus in person before?

  think about it....what better way is there to gather intel on a rather large group of ex and current jw's than to ask detailed questions on every facet of your life?

  typically, someone that has over a few thousand posts has been to a meetup of some sort, even a small one.

  Do we actually have to meet to be legitimate? I dont think just because someone posts alot, that means they HAVE to go to an apostafest. People have different circumstances in life. Guess anyone of us could be a mole.

  being a baby dub in the 70's

  2. experiences

  im from a small backward industrial town in the north of england.

  in the 70's when i was a kid no-one had a car.

  we used to meet for field service on the street corner and have a pep rally right there, then stand in a circle and say a prayer.

  I was praying no-one from school would see me with this bunch of misfits.

  Me too, me too!!

  I used to get spanked a lot when I was a kid. Maybe thats why I like it so much now

  You are way too funny!

  Thank you so much for that wonderful post! Just what I needed today. You have an incredible writing style, so funny. Keep it coming.

  What would you do? Follow-up

  by pratt1 in

  2. experiences

  in an earlier post i spoke of a young relative who is 16 and pregant and wanted me to help her get an abortion without the knowledge of her parents.. well i got the young girl to speak with her parents.

  i accompanied her.

  i wasn't 100% comfortable with my advice to tell her parents, because they are both dubs to the letter and dad is a hot head - he and i had numerous fights as kids growing up.
