I want to let off steam.

by quellycatface in

the wt conductor in my ex-kh was such a jerk-off.

when i used to answer up, he just called me by my first name instead of "sister chickenhead", or whatever.

the only person he did that to was me, in a kh of about 80, or so.

Kate, I know what you mean. I am usually a bit of a pistol BUT I thought I had to REALLY respect the elders and look up to them, in case Jehovah struck me down!!

As I suffer from depression, I used to bottle it all up and cry when I got home. I realised that was'nt the way I was meant to feel and had to get out.I know now, many of you guys woke up and smelt the coffee ages ago and got the hell out. About 8 years ago my best friend got DF'd and tried to kill herself. The way her family treated her was disgusting. You would treat a street dog better. That's when I started thinking and was inactive from 2006 to 2013. When I came back earlier this year, I knew it was just a matter of time before I threw in the towel. It was a sharp learning curve, everything I ever beleived in from a child was smashed to smithereens. My Mum is still in but is not regular at the meetings. She prefers to stay in with a bottle of wine and Murder She Wrote. She is still speaking to me.She's a rebel.

Thanks for the support.

The WT conductor in my ex-KH was such a jerk-off. When I used to answer up, he just called me by my first name instead of "Sister Chickenhead", or whatever. The only person he did that to was me, in a KH of about 80, or so. HOW embarrassing. He knew I was baptised. He used to come and pick us up for the meetings. I put him straight and he was a bit put out that he had to call me by my proper title. He was also an inverted snob with his stupid ties, pinkie rings and golf jumpers.

He is, an ex-salesman and thinks he is the dogs bollocks. The kind of JW who would'nt make it in the real world and enjoys the power of being an elder.Ring any bells? About as humble as George Dubya!! I truly hated him. It was'nt the Watchtower, it was the Brother Randy's (not his real name) Roadshow.

If I see him in the street, I will have to seriously control myself from smashing his face in.

Anyone else have the same experiences of people you just can't stand but had to try and get on with for the sake of congregation unity??

Mac n Cheese for tea.

Not All Men Are Annoying.............................................................................................................some are dead.

Seriously, I feel for you.

I disassociated my self a week or so ago. After doing thorough research and reading stuff on here. It is a huge shock when you've been "in the truth" for any amount of time. Like finding out that the Queen is an avatar or something.....I have gone between angry (piss & vinegar), calm but exhausted and bloody depressed. It is too much for us.

You have PTSD. Of course you do. Don't try and feel better, or "cheer up" nonsense. Explore your feelings. Sleep if you need to, cry, play sad songs. Read old letters, look at old photos. I saw a sister I know today and I had to tell her I was DA'd, she knew I had been having doubts etc....BUT she had the cheek to say that she was upset!!!! How do you think people like us feel???? DOH!!!! Just concentrate on you right now.

Just think you could be on the Field Service now having a really upbuilding time with your fellow Christians. Or tonight, you could be taking part in the Theocrapic Ministry School. You are like a little caged bird, who longs to be free, the cage is open now, you just need the courage to fly out and it will come to you.

All the best little bird XX

Have you ever scared the crap out of someone?

by Nathan Natas in

jw
friends

the recent thread about "supernatural" experiences helped me to remember the times i enjoyed playing frightening pranks on people.. example #1: years ago the employees at a place i worked for had a 40th birthday party for one of the women we worked with.

it was a typical "somber and dark" humorous party with black balloons, black candles on the birthday cake... all meant to suggest that at 40 ife as you know it is just about over.

it's funny, but 25 years after my 40th birthday i'm yearning for those days when things were better.. ...but i digress.

This is REALLY weird. I was staying with my Mum and son in a hotel abroad about 10 years ago. She is deaf and wears a hearing aid. One night, she woke me up with her snoring. After trying to go back to slee[. I got out of bed and poked her gently, hoping that she would turn onto her side and stop snoring. She woke up then and said "Oh Jehovah, please help me" and carried on some mumbled praying.WFT!!! I think I was more freaked out than she was.

what scriptures do the elders use that???

by Crazyguy in

what scriptures do the elders use to say they are in a position over you and can judge you and can make you go to them for reinstatement etc???

.

I know it's not quite the same BUT remember when Jesus had to tell the disciples off for squabbling about who was the greater?? Jesus never introduced a hierachy in his teachings, or at least I don't think he did??

Ever consider joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

by rawe in

has anyone here left jehovah's witnesses to join the churuch of jesus christ of latter-day saints?

what was your motivation for doing so and how has it worked out?.

if you haven't joined the lds or considered it, as an ex-jw, what is your general view of the lds faith?.

I would rather nail my tongue to the kitchen table. Er, that's a no BTW.

WHAT THE WTBATS STATED IN THE MOST RECENT WT!!!

by ADJUSTMENTS in

the recent wt states : if you don't follow, obey and listen to every word we say, and decide to change on a whim, you will be dfed and not allowed to see your family and friends!!!

we dont care if we are wrong because we will just say the light is getting brighter and not apologize, and if you don't think the light is getting brighter you will be dfed, even if it comes out years later that you were right and we were wrong you will still be dfed!!!

that's because we are just evil men not inspired by god but inspired by our own selfish hearts!!!

That rocks!!! Right on the chin.

How would you respond?

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

ok so this is a conversation that i am having with a friend that i really love.

i have some points that i want to say but tell me, how would you respond to this email?.

not gonna try to defend anyone i can really only speak for myself.

quellycatface

Julia, I like your answer. I've had the same conversation with my JW mum and myself!!! Why would'nt God select whom he wants?? Remember that scripture "I perceive that God is not partial but the man who works righteousness is etc....is acceptable to him."

The JW's are becoming similar to ancient/modern Israel every minute.

Number of anointed partakers in new yearbook?

by JWOP in

i haven't seen the 2014 yearbook on the jw site yet.

i'm looking to see if the number of partakers has increased again (as it has for many years now).

anyone have a scan of it yet?.

quellycatface

Do you think that some people who say they are anointed are just making it up? To maybe receive more standing in the congregation and for people to be in awe of them? I know one guy (he's 52) who takes the emblems and I tell you, if he was in heaven judging over me, I'd rather take my chances....

No seriously, do you think they are all genuine??
