  delusional until the end- must read

  2. experiences

  in our area, we have a 78 year old well known brother known for his stout faithfulness whose wife just died.

  his life story is jw textbook.. pioneered for decades, went to bethel, where he was a mid range heavy.

  then his wife got accidently pregnant so they had to leave around 1980.. known in the area for being the top man on the rbc, also in charge of the money at conventions and assemblies and just about every responsibility you can think of.

  i recently got a letter in my pillar box asking me to attend a meeting at the k.h.

  i ignored the " kind" request.. this was folloed up by a " loving" phone call with the question " do i believe in the organisation" my reply.

  " anyway what pissed me off was during the " loving" phone call i realized there was another " brother" listning in.

  Oh My God!!

  2. experiences

  yesterday after an awesome workout at the gym i was walking to the front door and i saw my former friend who is a "spiritually strong" (non-thinking) jw walking towards me talking with a trainer.

  i thought she was either there on a job interview or was taking a tour of the facilities before joining.. i thought should i say hi, should i say nothing, would she acknowledge me, etc.

  i decided to say hi to make sure that she remembered that i am a member of this gym, so that she would not feel uncomfortable it she accepted a job there or joined it.. the gym is about 20 miles from where she lived when i was friends with her, but is in a convenient location between where she was living and where she works.. i said "hi n" about five feet before me, no response.. i said "hi n" a little louder about five feet after they passed me.

  OMG, indeed. You have to feel pity for these robots. "They know not what they do". Their brains belong to the Borg.

  They can all go and kiss my big old white butt.

  I hate the word "elder", as much as the jdubs hate the word "apostate".

  Why Is Alcoholism Deeply Embeded In JW Culture?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we get plenty of company men passing through our circuit, often filled with misinformation and lugging around a suitcase of guilt, they bring more guilt to the weak while praising the braggart pioneers and slapping the "righteous over much" elders.

  why are the wrong people getting praise in this distorted community?

  i know for a fact many of the elders i served with have issues with alcoholism, when "brother guilt" brought his emotional hurricane through our circuit, i had the chance to eat and help pay for his "seven shots of tequila", both him and his wife were not immune to over-indulgences.

  My Mum is a functioning alcoholic. She missed a lot of meetings last year due to illness, she was a nicer person then. She seems to turn in to a hellfire preacher when she's active!!!

  She's missed quite a few lately due to a house move and the dreaded winter bugs. I can have a "normal" conversation with her when she's away from the KH.

  She drinks because she feels inadequate, I think.

  Is this really a place for Jehovah's Witnesses/Friends

  by jeff spreng in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because i was considering rejoining and the stories i have read only remind me of what was done to me.

  is there any clean place to go where good people and fellowship can be had.

  it sounds like maybe the people here should get together and start there own thing, like the reorganized latter day saints.

  Very down to earth people with no side to them.

  What allows parents to shun their children ?

  by man in black in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my son, went to college and got his bachelors degree.

  he started his own anmation company about two years ago, and it really has taken off.. while my wife and i were witnesses, we both received grief about allowing our son to go to college, but we stood up for him and backed his decision to attend 110%.. anyway, this past week he finally closed on a very nice, neat condiminium .. and while he is getting ready to move out on his own, i have quite a few feelings of sadness,as a parent, seeing him move on is kinda rough, but realizing that this is a very good thing for him makes it easier.

  he will only be about 7 miles away.

  Congratulations to you both. It's natural to feel how you do, proud and sad all the same time.

  I cannot imagine not talking to my son. EVER. The brainwashing must be very effective, don't you think?

  Best wishes XX

  one for mit last month, and one for princeton tonight.. if i told this to people at my old hall, i am sure the reaction would be the same as if i broke a big, noisy windblast in front of them.. but i have to brag about it to someone, so, i will do it here.. .

  we will not know anything about whether he is going to be accepted for a couple of months yet, but, as they say, this $%^# just got real!.

  many times at the kh i heard the various brothers boasting how the kh had good numbers in attendance and the churches of christendom did not.. i 've just worked out why this is; you cannot leave.

  you either fade, get df'd or da yourself.

  talk about hobson's choice.. talk about me seeing the light!!!.

  It now makes me laugh when the dubs say "my whole family is in the truth", it's nothing to be proud of. They can't let, simple as that.

  Elder and CO just dropped by....

  by El_Guapo in

  2. friends

  i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.

  the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.

  i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?

  Well done mate.my ex-co was a nasty, pompous git.he tried to lord it over my husband but realized he was punching above his weight.he then dissed my husband for only studying with the jw's as "an academic exercise".didn't like being shown up in front of an elder, no doubt.my husband only studied to support me. Thank God we're both away from it now.
