i'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".
When I first quit the meetings, four years ago, my dub wife threw away my 'Live Forever' and 'Revelation' books. They were heavily studied with mad notes.
The Revelation book was my study copy, studied in four times with all the changes notated.
The last time through I was regularly conducting the book study as a MS.
Part of me is upset she tossed the books. The other part is glad I don't have to see how insane I was.
we all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.
Good chance I would have throat punched both elders on the spot.
I would have had mad rage. ( driven by my own Asperger's symptoms )
quite possibly the most cringeworthy thing i've seen them do yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tk88rstv6o.
This is awful, yet I cannot look away, as much as I want to!
i've seen a lot of posts around and about warwick and the goings on there but was curious as to people's theories on why the move to warwick?
granted there's the obvious point about all of the money from the sale of properties in brooklyn but for as massive as warwick is, the purchase of an apartment complex there, multiple sites and buildings i would be surprised if they had much left from all of the profits.
so beyond a financial incentive why move?
I'll take what is 'cashing in your chips' for $144,000, Alex.
Sell now, hide the money.
As opposed to lose everything when the lawsuits hit tsunami level.
i was walking out of the store and i passed a former jw associate of 20+ years.
"keith"he was an elder, got df'd, lost his wife, got reinstated and last i heard started pioneering!so i see him as i'm walking to my parking spot.. i stop, look him straight in the face and yell from 20 feet away, "you're in a cult.
you're in a cult, dude!".
Life is full of surprises...

My JW wife told me they are afraid of me.
I'm convinced they are more afraid of apostates than Satan.
They can actually see us...

Why not just say I deserve this for leaving 'the Truth'...

Seasoned with salt ^^
I need to be more tactful to the people shunning me!
Maybe try to "win them over without a word"?

You ever see those videos of the guy dressed like a potted plant jumping out at people walking by?
It'll be a lot like that...
HELLO NAPA!!

I've been thinking about this.
I KNOW this small town. It's got gossip down to a science.
I can with almost 100% certainty be sure that one of those maniacs texted somebody before I could even get home. "Guess who I saw?!?"
This will be fun. I'll go out looking for them in the wild.
I know all their hangouts.
"BOO!!"
< hilarity ensues >
