my dad,an elder for 25plus years,concentration camp survivor,the works,died in a few weeks ago.i am df'd but have been the only one who helps him and my mum.my jw sister couldnt give a rats ass about them.i was at my mom and dads house after he died,helping my mom with everyting,hell,id been there for 2 months because i was afraid to leave them alone.i knew my dad wasnt feeling well.guess he was worse than i realized.he died.the witnesses came in droves.small kitchen.im sitting at the table.they not only didnt speak to me,but they didnt even acknowledge that i was in the room,about day 3,i stopped answering the door..one "lady" called.sister carol.when i answered the phone she hesitated and said",now you know,i caint tawk to yew"{strong southern accent.ala elie may clampett}"you orta let cher mawma ainser the phone.
"i told her to bite me and hung up on her...same here,when we got back home.i hate these people with the fury of a thousand suns,but for some reason,i am now in possession of some great elders notes.been laying low,but im going to start posting the juicy stuff.just cause itd be nice for calvin to know that he was seen "dancing recklessly" at a wedding and that sister renee was being councied for her weight and still insisted on gaining more.also that sister e wasnt giving her husband his "due"..{yik}and that certain concetration camp survivors were being coerced into saying that they were jw's at the time of incarceration.but one wouldnt.my dad refused to play their game,and as a result he was asked to step down as an elder at age of 80.that and that he refused to shun me.his notes have been very enlightening..nice folks thise jw's,no?
they were so mean to my dad, he really believed this crap,and tried to do the right thing.but because he wouldnt dance their way,and turn me,his favorite person{and he was mine|into the cold they treated him badly and mocked him and even his accent.i hate them.really.any ideas?the local elder here,just asked my mom about her financial situation...grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I'm sorry for your loss. At least your father loved you and knew that you loved him. Screw the WTBS and their puppets.

i like to think that i have escaped the cult completely, since i, and members of my close family, faded away years ago.
however, i have recently realized that my "elder" uncle, my father's older brother, could technically have me disfellowshipped, such as if he figures out that i post on an "apostate" message board (i've tried to direct my cousin here), or sees me smoking in a restaurant in the small town we all live in, or hears from my father that my boyfriend and i have been away for a weekend together.. so i've recently discovered this fear.
although i believe i'm "out" i'm still trapped in a way.
What do you expect? You don't want to be with them so you have to face whatever happens with your new lifestyle. They are not going to turn a blind eye forever. There is no compromise or escape.
Face reality and get a life!

the following is the most quoted scripture in the bible:.
john 3:16 (new international version) .
16"for god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.. here is a question for you.
Terry is one step from going over the edge. The only reason he writes on this forum is to convince himself that he is not a mental case. Many others know otherwise.

I've always held Barbara Anderson to the highest extreme but now find it hard to accept that she is lowering herself by cavorting to the sensationalism without proof of KoolAidMan.

I'm sure if he tells the local elders that he is repentant and puts 10 hours in FS next month........all will be forgiven. Then the whole circuit will have the persecution complex.

i have soooo had it with these assholes...sooooo had it!!
my daughter who is 19 is pre-engaged to a wonderful 20 year old guy who treats her like a princess.
he lives with us to both help me with the rent and for them to save some money for their future.
You expected anything other than this from a JW elder? I think you are the one that needs a reality check if you really thought a JW would have any of this.

The same almost exact thing was said about 20 years ago. A sister in the KH I attended prided herself on copying talks on cassette tapes to lend to others. When this same drivel came out, she stopped lending them.

do you ever post without quoting the bible?
why do you feel a compulsive need to quote scriptures in all your posts?
were you once a bible-thumping jw or are you just a born-again bible thumper who never was a jw and just happens to dislike jws?.
Keep doing what you do Chalam. I'm in full agreement with you. The "scriptures" are a guideline for a happy life.
What you said is also how my life is going the past ten years since leaving the JW's. "I have had more LIFE in the last few years with faith in Jesus"................
Old HappyDad here has experienced the workings of Holy Spirit and wouldn't want it any other way. Life is great with Jesus in it.

so life comes at you pretty fast...lol............the entire scope of what we have here is pretty amazing............and you newbies?........just hang out here a bit!....geeze i never did that here with any wonder or questions in my heart...i just knew....i am wired a bit differently maybe....cause i was like ok...here it is.....i am supposed to just pour my heart out.........and did so as coaster for a hundred posts and thank you guys for not kicking me off due to my new love of cuss words....dammm i cuss soooooo much now?!?!...............
.....oh....and btw for those who do not did not know me....then or now........i just wear it all on my sleave.....i like open and honest...that is me....and i am a very sexual person.....i am a born giver too and there is nothing like the massage therapist in me to show that......lmao...i am so glad this is not on facebook..............oompa.
So Oompa.......
Reads like you just might be toking a little dried leaf! Need something else to take the place of alcochol? If so..........you just blew the time you spent in rehab and that tells me that you are on the road to self destruction. Addiction is addiction. Take it from someone who has been there,
There's always someone reaching out with a hand of help to those like you.......but if you don't want it for yourself........then what else is there.
Me.....HappyDad........I've worked with enough people in addiction to know that I can't get personally involved. My attitude today (no matter how much the bleeding hearts may hate this) is for you or whoever doesn't want a sober and clean life is to just continue on the road to whatever end is waiting for you. I really care for them and you, but to worry about you? Nahhhhh! You've chosen your own way to death.
I just wish you would realize that your life is at stake buddy and I hope you can overcome. You might not love yourself, but others love you.
NOW.....I'm really hoping that your title of this thread is a joke and that I've just finished blowing smoke for no reason at all. That is what would make me really happy.
