  Since they don't own it...

  Would this prevent them from having youtube remove videos that have their JW.org mentioned within apostate videos? Since no copyrights are held?

  Was reading about beards and ran across enough info in one night to say I wasn't going back period. So I've not been back in a few months. It's been rough but I'm a grown ass woman and no one is making me walk through those doors again. period.

  i was invited by my parents, and even though i have nothing but contempt for this religion, things have been good in our relationship so i was considering going just to appease them.

  anyone else?.

  No, but have been given invitations twice.

  I think they're really trying to get inactive JWs or faders to come to the M. I noticed last year that our numbers were down, and seem to be going down every year. Use to be a packed house. But last year there were a number of empty seats. I noticed a few of the "M" once a year JWs weren't there. You know the ones that only come once a year. I guess they don't want to print a number less than last years.

  What is definition of a true friend, once outside the cult?

  by suavojr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving the cult of jw's or waking up to ttatt, it is a struggle to trust people again.

  i am personally starting from scratch although i am still in.

  each moment i spend with my current jw friends, i know they are all smiles and loving towards me because of my good status with the wt.. outside a cult you still find fake people and it is also a struggle to find true friends and it is even worst when we've been hit hard from people we used to trust and care for.. .

  If I close my eyes and visualize the auditorium filled with ones I know from my Khall. I'd not pick them as friends on the outside. Most were not true friends. None have called since I've left. Only elders asking if we believe in the GB, wth.

  I've realised the people I've known on the outside were actually good people. They never judged me according to meeting attendance, FS or how spiritual I was. They never asked to borrow things and not return them. Ask to help them move, paint, loan money. But ones in that mental picture, I can go row by row, and say; mooch, bum, abuser, brown-noser, double-life and on and on... the worst were the ones I tried to be friends with but just couldn't handle all their drama, stuff they could have put an end to...stupid kids, no money etc. I wanted to be a good friend to all, but got burnt so many times. It was all so conditional. But ones on the outside, just a little different. I wouldn't screw over a worldy friend, they're smart enough to walk away, but not within the khall you had to forgive.. because we are imperfect. Got tired of hearing that line of bull.

  Don't be afraid of finding new friends, we're working on that now. It's not a scary as JWs want you to believe.

  How Do You Come to Terms with Being Just One of the 7 Billion?

  by will-be-apostate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being a jw makes one feel special, no doubt.

  when i found out ttatt i realized i'm not special at all.

  i'm just one of the other 7 billion human beings who will live and die being nobody, the world will forget about them (and i'm not talking about relatives and friend), they didn't make anything special in their life, they didn't change the course of history, were not famous nor rich, didn't invent facebook, google or anything awesome, didn't have an article published in newscientist, had no imdb profil, not even a wiki page, didn't write a book etc.

  It's being conditioned to be conditional. I will love you if only you do this... or don't do that.

  Most parents have uncondtional love for their children, but when you are told obey obey obey, you'll serve your God without question and that would include shunnig your children if the WT tells you to do so. If your children did something that the WT has told you is wrong, you will uphold God's laws or WT interruptations of laws.

  Worldly people love their children even when they have done wrong. exJWs love their children even when they've done wrong. JWs turn their children into the elders and let the shit hit the fan. I know, I was one of them. I'd never again confide in the elders if my life depended on it. They reproved mine for things and then I'd learn others did the same or far worst and got nothing, it was swept under the rug. sweetie, youre gonna wake up to just more than "you want to do things your own way". Your life as a JW will change as you learn more.. the lies you've been taught, your views of the world will change. EVerything you've trusted will be gone. But in the long run, your life will be yours! You can control your life. You just have to learn how to not let WT, elders etc guilt or shame you.

  What do you want to do with your life?

  the lives of the people of arcadia, missouri, are forever changed when their deceased loved ones return.. .

  Saving Mr. Banks is not a typical Disney film. Seen it? Tell us what you think.!

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  saving mr. banks is not about mary poppins exactly, not the one we know.

  in this movie we come to see who she was to the author through flashbacks that become so entwined with the adult author, a bitter and negative woman, that mary p.'s purpose becomes clear at last and not the disney factory model.

  if you haven't seen it, a speech disney gives to her is phenominal in my opinion.

  I thought it was for children, Glad I didn't take any kid with me. I was disappointed. Yes the story was good, but didn't want to see drunks, death and Disney in one sitting. I cried at the end. Didn't leave feeling good :(
