my sister came to the society's defense on the issue of "pledged amounts" not being accurate because a realative stated that it didn't happen in her congregation.
so i said they were mistaken, and that i had access to the letters proving it.
she doubted that they were authentic.
What is it with this sick obsession. The wt has with a bloody death of billions! And what a disgusting description which I am sure children had the pleasure of "studying this food provided by jehovah through the faithful and discreet (barbarian like) slave"
Seriously...how can otherwise normal, loving, caring, smart people listen to this and think it's good???? Wtf?
my friend, mike works as a massage therapist, and there is a woman at the shop that is super-jw-woman and is constantly hounding him with things.. today, he's messaging me and he tells me that she was trying to push a brochure or something on him.
he said he'd really rather not read a religious pamphlet.. so... she says, "it's not religious... it's from god.".
isn't that kinda what religious means?
Lol outlaw!!!!

re: notification of disfellowshipping or disassociation.
dear brothers:.
I agree this is so they can claim ignorance and deny deny deny. The law suit situation must be heating up. A copy of this letter should be sent to all governments with any active or pending case/inquiries.
hi to everyone, my name is jerry, i am 56 and i live in tralee, kerry ireland.
i will not bore you with the all too familiar details, suffice it to say i was a prime candidate for indoctrination/ brainwashing.
the surprising aspect is that my wife, a staunch catholic started a study soon after i did.
Welcome. You will find allot of support here, glad you found the site.
me and the spouse decided to not go to the dc and it takes place tommorow.
all our jw friends are headed down there tonight.
feeling lonely and left out but know this is the right choice.
And don't feel left out OP...you weren't excluded. You are doing what is right for you. I went one day and skipped the rest, but each day my family went and I felt a tinge of guilt and missing out. So I went and got a pedi/mani and massage. Find something fun to do to take your mind off. Enjoy yourselves and your time!

Oh my Lois...True story...my great grandparents fled right before Poland was invaded...fled a town my family had founded. The entire towns people including that entire side of my family minus my great grandmother were wiped out. Brody. I just found out a couple years ago. Family history was hidden because of a deeply ingrained fear of being murdered. So ya, the dubs have no idea what the true holocaust was. The fact they feed on it sickens me. For all of the true victims.
it seems i am going to have to teach people to use a tablet as part of my job and i don't even have one!
any advice would be most helpful please.. i keep reading blurb on amazon etc and now i'm really confused.
what should i buy?
I love my SAMSUNG android devices. Easy to use, very easily compatible and no issues. I have had a cheapo android tablet and it sucked. If you go for a quality android device (Samsung is my choice) then they are great...not as limiting as apple...
it is commonly known by jehovah's witnesses, the marriage of pastor c.t.russell and his wife maria (moe-rye-uh) was an uneasy one.. the marriage itself was founded on a weird interpretation of "virginity" and "purity" as only an obsessive-compulsive.
puritan fanatic might find agreeable.
the two of them were not to share a bed (or physical relations.).
Marked.
What a douche he was.
i'm up to about 30k words at the moment and still going strong.. i don't expect it'll ever get off the ground.....at least i'm going to try though.. i'm thinking of 6 months time and looking at the route of self publishing.
yes, i want to be a publisher.. it's very violent in places, has violent sexual scenes and very strong language.. it's everything the watchtower(r) said i should avoid.....i wonder if my authentic self has exploded into freedom?.
if you want more info or wish to read a snippet let me know.. i can't think of a title and have changed it several times, at the moment it's called 'boomshot.
Is the killer loech?
Kidding!! It sounds wonderful...I would like to read! I am a writer, too so I can help edit if you want help with that...
okay, some good takeaway:.
i have never been to a convention quite like this before.
a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).
One and the same, steve. 50k is a crap ton of people, but it was at least 10k less than expected.
