  Exposing one's identity. When?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

  ( "reaching out", so to speak ).

  i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

  just thinking a big fear is "change".

  
  

  I left right when all the internet/device stuff started becoming part of their worship. I don't think I could have handled that amount of change.

  
  

  The change to overlapping generations is what caused me to become Awake!

I think I told that one elder that visited me a while back ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/288882/surprise-elder-visit-today ) that if they tried to form a JC on my behalf I would create a local "media circus".

  Talk me off the ledge?

  JW Cart - Historical Photo - 1

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the buzz about the jw public witnessing cart it has escaped the notice of all but the most studious researchers that the wt carts were actually started by pastor charles taze russell.

  a careful examination of one of the most famous photographs of the 1906 san fransisco fire, caused by the preceding earthquake, reveals a wt cart.

  further investigation brought the researchers attention to bible student sister myrtle jenson, shown on the left of the photograph, and facing away from the camera, looking down sacramento street.

  JWFT has courage that some of us only wish we could muster.
  
  

  I'll admit that when I first saw his channel, I was also put off... At first.

  Listen to his story.

  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5C3F7B0756A8D507

  
  

  I find him super entertaining and totally get where he's coming from.

  Maybe you aren't familiar with JWFT's channel...

  
  

  I watched the entire video and it was flawless.

  Those periods of "elder silence". That was the guy trying to reset his mind control.
  "Deer in the headlights".
  This was followed by, "write a letter".

  
  

  As a legit caller that was was upset by "wrong conduct", he has a case.

  I'm enjoying the book. Right here on my desk!

  The promo would have really perked my attention if the background music was a mysterious sounding rendition of a easily recognizable kingdom melody.

  One of my favorite YouTube channels of all time.

  
  

  JWFairyTale has what it takes!

  He engages anyone he pleases and these ones are forced to think. Can you even imagine the conversations at the end of the day between the elders that fielded these calls.

  
  

  Internet scores again!!

  Magazine placements

  by Awake at last in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this morning we opened our front door to find 5 magazines, 4 awakes and 1 watchtower left there.

  someone must have been counselled about not placing enough literature.

  we never heard them knock and we are not that deaf, at least we didn't think so.

  When I used to do "early morning" we would find what I used to refer to as a "bound volume" in the self serve laundrymattes. A very tall stack of magazines left in a nice little pile. 10-20 mags.

  I would take them all with me and just leave a few. The ones I took would get placed again later that morning and recorded as my placements. Hmmmm

  
  

  Also, If we entered a laundry room and no mags were on the table, they were usually in the nearest trash can covered in lint and detergent. Again: recover, place and count.

  
  

  The magazine placement tally, like everything else they boast about is false ans inaccurate.

  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  3. Sick ( of the meetings )

  Let's throw together some ideas or link to previous examples.

  ( Extra credit )

  For humor, post excuses that have been tried that NEVER work.

  1. Couldn't get my tight pants off in time to make the meeting.

  2. Was watching JWTV and lost track of the time.
