I have been watching as they slowly die off before me. Seems like about 3-4 a year die.
Just in the last few years there have been 4 elders and one MS that have died in my old hall alone.

This does not seem to alarm the JWs that are still in.

I would say there are at least 10 more in my old hall alone, that if they they died today, it would surprise no one. I noticed this and here I am... Approaching 50 with an older wife and that's it.

I have many very diverse and fulfilling interests that keep me going.

JWs embrace the LIE that death is not normal and they can cheat it.
The longer you stay indoctrinated, the more time you are wasting.
Time that you can never get back. Don't live on death row, get out and live!!

Demon Stories

by humblepotato in

jw
friends

so we all know that "crazy" brother or sister.

every kingdom hall has one.

they give the best comments (from a hilarious perspective), have experiences with the "demons", but most importantly, they are on about 10 deifferent kinds of medications.

kairos

The bigger question is why aren't Demunz taunting ALL JWs?

That's their one job, right? Get us out of "the truth" by any means possible.

Everyday should include dealing with the demons.

More fear driven lies we used to believe.

if you are a jw, that is.. "there's the kingdom over there!!

""armageddon is near""we're in the last of the last days""we will have three day conventions next year... jehovah willing""the work is speeding up""it's an invisible presence".

snipe hunt.

My BIL told me how he used to dupe his nephew.
Throwing sticks and rocks to make sounds in the bush. he even convinced him to put charcoal on his face for camouflage.

Reminds me of the JW Broadcasting distraction and getting pioneers to stand near a literature cart...
( both are an embarrassment )

"Your reward is getting near".

Big eyes- jw's all excited about the movie

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

for those still attending.

have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?

they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.

Fun fact:

I attended the meetings in her congregation for a time.

Also was assigned to the bookstudy in her her home.
The round art collage coffee table. I've set my NWT on it!!

This was 15ish years ago.

It's My Turn

by OneFingerSalute in

well i finally got the, "we would like to stop by with the circus oversneer and have an encouraging visit.

would ---------day be good, at say -----------?".

it'll probably be a pretty dull visit with the entire conversation being only one way.

...Back to the real world.

Prior to the request to meet with the CO ( which was unknowingly waved off by my still-in wife ) a father/son pair of elders paid me, what would be my final elder's visit. The son was the COBE and only in his late 30's after local pioneering and a 10 year Bethel stint that had him in daily contact with GB members.

He asked me just minutes into the visit if I still believed the GB was the FDS. I responded by telling him that, " I will not be interrogated in my own home ". That created awkward silence.

When they tried to read from the Bible to me, I told them... " I'm not interested ". ( classic conversation stopper/table turner! ) They immediately left. I have been left alone for the last 1.5-2 years as a result, while my wife happily attends all the meetings, seeing them weekly. The Love®
