22The Little Things Rub It In
by Euphemism indo you ever find that you think you've gotten accustomed to the shunning, and then some small, stupid thing comes along to reopen the wound?
that's how i feel right now.
it's been a while since i've really thought about it; the limited contact has simply become routine to me.

New light in everyday life.
by zagor inmy sister had to borrow some money, around $500 from this brother which she was going to return of course.
but she was getting married, and dub said "well you dont have to return that money it is your wedding gift.
" needless to say she was really happy and drilled my mind about jw being good people.

What in the world?? This wasn't business though, he just gave her the money, and in front of witnesses (double meaning I guess right now I dont mean dubs, even though they all were dubs). I dont think she should pay him. She should also report him to the elders, (I know ikk, but where else can she go?) You cant give something to someone, and then turn around and say I take it back. Maybe she would have never accepted the money, if she knew she had to repay it.

The JW new world system scum
by greendawn inwe now know that the new system of things as imagined by the jws is a myth, a poison that's meant to seduce the unaware into the org so that they can then be controlled, abused, and exploited.
but during the time when you were taken in by the myth what sort of things were you imagining about this delightful new world and your participation in it?
or perhaps deep down you never really believed it and ignored it.

I was a kid, and had the idea forced upon me. And, well, I never could really buy into it, even when I was small, I just didnt get it. What we we supposed to do for eternity, eat fruit, and play with lions and tigers? Then, as an adult, it even became harder to imagine. Just never could put myself there.

WTS says its statistics are better!
by ozziepost inon jw-media, the official wt sitre, this is how the boys in crooklyn are describing thier membership figures:.

Yes, I remember this. That particular WT article said that they were now going to start counting the unborn fetuses of pregnant sisters. Of course, the sisters are supposed to provide proof of how many fetuses are growing inside of them - for accuracy. This will require a visit to the OB-GYN for an ultrasound. The reasoning behind this was that if the sister carrying the baby is going out in service, she is essentially "training" the unborn child "from before infancy." If she studies any of the recently released books, she can count those as "bible studies
I believe the article even went on to say, that all sisters between the ages of 12 and 52 were to have bi-annual pelvic sonograms so that there unfertilized eggs could also be counted, as future potential publishers.

True to form, the WTS always has to put others down. Was that statement even necessary? Maybe they felt it exalted them in some way. I think any outsider would wonder why they feel the need to compare themselves, and that it was just a downright stupid statement.
This is all bogus data anyway, so many people cheat on their time reports, like I did. I mean I outright lied, by 10 hours per month, just to keep the elders off my case.
What frauds they are.

I feel very sorry for them, especially the small kids. At least the sisters can wear a skirt, and nowadays, no nylons (back in my day we had to wear nylons). But the poor little boys, a long sleeve shirt and tie, and even some in suits, when it's over 100 degrees, thats just inhumane. Then I remember back on how much I hated it, and was forced to go, and I know some or most of these kids are going through the same thing. Poor babies.
