Any anointed ones here?

by Kaput in

jw
friends

are there any on this forum who were/are of the anointed?

if you are now out of the organization, do you still have "the calling"?

if you are still in the organization, how do you feel about posting/lurking here?

My 5th anniversary today... No More Meetings

by xjwms in

jw
friends

this is my official day... five years ago ... when i decided to no longer attend regular meetings.. so, .. my wife comes home from the meeting yesterday and says..."elder.______ says to say hi to you" ... as we were talking after the meeting.. (this is the guy who was at my house telling me i should go to another hall, as i was no longer welcome there.).

i wish i would have thought to say...you should have told him that : ... i was celebrating five years of not attending.!.

but i did'nt think of it till later last night.

Thanks everybody

I know that the 9/11 thing scared many to be "faithful"...I just not want to hear the mumbo jumbo

from all the self-rightous who think they are so "right"...

my attitude is: Right or wrong...Live or die....I just could not be an active JW anymore.

The reason behind shunning

by JH in

when you think about it, when the elders disfellowship and then shun a person, it's to make an impact on the active ones still going to the meetings, rather than the df'd one.. they elders couldn't care less about the one who has been disfellowshipped.

that person is dead to their eyes.. the reason they make this so terrible, is a warning to the ones still active, not to try this.. some kind of blackmail, intended to the active ones.. .

As the wt says:

Its a loving provision

Camping fun....

packed and ready to go.... i don't think we could have fit one more item!

no, this isn't all mine, there were 4 of us.

the camp ground we went to.

xjwms

It looks so inviting

being outside, the fire, the cooking, I bet it tasted great.

As for me I'd do that, but, then, I'd need to spend the night at a $Hotel$, with a hot shower and king size bed.

No I am not Spoiled I always smell like that.

Did you block out your Witness life?

by achickwwit in

jw
friends

i stopped going to meetings at age 19 or 20. my brother had been df'd.

my sister and her new bethalite husband had left the organization labeled as apostates, and my single mom followed suit.

i was pretty much raised by the congregation, though i lived with my isolated mother.

xjwms

Still trying to block out.
