I've looked up JW's from my past and see a lot of them on Facebook. Some of them are elders in the Pittsburgh area.

Losing the war on Facebook

by Brocephus in

ok this is weird i am noticing more and more jw's on facebook.

even an elder i know has started an account.

at first it seemed like it was just the "spiritually weak" who really don't care or do much field service.

HappyDad

Check the newest Facebook page they have. "Pink songbook" Totally off! I'd like to leave a "real" reply there.

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.

Scary stuff.... I've just realized that I could be disfellowshipped at any time

by Quillsky in

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.

HappyDad

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!

God so LOVED the world.........................................WHY? How could He?

by Terry in

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.

HappyDad

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.

Okkkkk...you MESS with my kids and you MESS WITH ME JWs!!!

by WuzLovesDubs in

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.

HappyDad

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.
