the ones that were passed around, word of mouth.. for example.

"donations basis proves jehovah is behind the work!".

by Brainfloss in

i am sure that there are many looking at the posts on this forum that have not signed up to post.

i know i looked for a long time before i ever signed up to post.

we would love to hear your comments and perspective about the zone meeting this past weekend or any other thing you might like to get off your chest.

HeyThere

I agree with these good folks. You can stay anonymous. This is a great place that u as been very helpful for me.

Over 1,000,000 in attendance and you are worried about tight pants?

you know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.

" they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.

but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".

Oh, btw (sorry if already mentioned) he referred to Bethal as Jehovah's headquarters on earth or some such similiar nonesense.

Sorry for the delay is getting the recording distributed. It will be coming. So big I have to zip it. I had surgery earlier today and expect I will be back home tomorrow.

......to see how much i get love bombed in my tight pants and bright socks.. i bet they'll totally respect my gb approved pinky ring though.. i haven't been to a meeting since 1994 so i wonder if they'll get the irony if i ask, "so what's changed?".

good effin' lord....i just realized i've been out for 20 years.. .

Anthony Morris The Third

by Yondaime in

when i am3 was going to speak i was ecstatic to hear this lunatic embarass himself.

after the propaganda indoctrination session, a relative asked me what my spiritual goals were, i told em i want to become a servant before i turn 23 so i could get laid.

lmfao.

HeyThere

And his statements not to be mad at him because it comes from the bible, because it's from God.

Oh lmao the spanx comments. Rotfl.

one of two things will happen.

i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.

it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.

HeyThere

My husband is good friends with some elders and ms. That's his "crowd" so to speak. And they haven't treated him differently since I stopped going. Oh well, for now things are calm between us and I have completely rejected the religion. Only went yesterday because my child persisted and at least I was able to record the whole thing.

Falling Skies

by happy@last in

i recently started watching this series in a boxset i bought and can't believe how similar my eldest daughter seems to behave as do the children who have been 'harnessed'.

these kids in the show have been abducted by aliens and made to believe the aliens are good to them all the while they are turned into different creatures.

it's quite eery.

HeyThere

I actually really enjoy the show. But I am partial to Sci Fi anyways. This is one we dvr and watch.

@punk sheesh they are obnoxious!

I will never face that as I will never be baptized. You did well in giving them slack jaw!!!

So, question from your experience...When I went to the meeting I was love bombed, invited to gatherings, etc. But many of them know I am not in agreement with the religion and stopped studying and meetings. Why would they lovebomb? Do they not care, or is it out of respect for my uber dub husband? Or do they really think it will change my mind? It was...interesting.
