The more you observe JW's the more you realize how far from the norm they are in basic manners and socialization. It's not completely their fault though ... all the WTS talks to them about is how to serve THEM! NOT how to be of service to OTHERS!

See the JW, not the person
by robhic ini've written before about my poor jw gilfriend and her health problems (i am not a jw).
she was in the hospital for an infection the last 3 days and, like usual, a few jws visited her.
(the hospital is conveniently located 5 blocks from their kh...) in speaking with her at times she would mention that "some ladies from my church came to visit" followed immediately by stating her lack of familiarity or even recognition of one or more of the ladies visiting.. she has had jws visit her in hospital and at home many times before.

Leola - Gurl I am rolling on the floor laughing my natural A** off - YOU HEAR ME???
Welcome to the forum. And yes, the UN Thing is big A** F'ing deal to people who are interested in the truth! Congratulations to you and your family for getting out together. Some people (like grissom) don't thinks it's such a big deal that the WTBTS taught US that the UN was the scarlet colored wild beast of Revelation ... then joined the damned org. itself undercover for 10 years - AND pushed UN propoganda on the rank and file ... too gullible to even realize what was going on. Then, as you said, resigned after the lid was blown off the whole mess !
I'm glad you and yours are finally free. You will find real comrades here. We know what you've been through and how it feels to be betrayed by someone you trusted implicitly.

New here
by ameliasmom ini have been "lurking" here for a while and just wanted to share with those that would, maybe, understand what i go through sometimes.
my dad's family were mostly all witnesses.
my most vivid memories of my grandfather as a child were of his recording all of the assemblies (or conventions, as i suppose they are called now) and listening to them over and over.

Welcome to the forum ameliasmom! So sad that the 'only true Christians' cannot even offer condolences when a loved one dies . Those people don't even realize how sick that sort of behavior is.
You are among 'true' friends here. Stop by often.

evolution talk
by googlemagoogle init's surprising how much competence and knowledge a fellow brother needs to have on a topic to have a public talk about it on stage... .
sunday morning, i pop in right after the song (i always do... i hate singing klingon melodies).
the talk already started.

there were many more holy words of truth that very hour. but they were far above my level of understanding, so i won't even try to utter them.
LOL - google - more than likely they were so stupid your extrememly complex brain had no where to put them and they were immediately discarded - like SPAM!
It's no wonder they keep harping on the evils of college!

Well done sweet tee! Did you copy this to yoru ultra christian class mate! The look on her face - priceless, especially if you'd dared to hint that you were gay too! LOL!
Good girl!
Hey Crumpet! Don’t I have enough of my business in the streets already? I did think about copying her on my reply but then I may not get the next ‘bigoted’ email and I won’t be able to support or not support the next issue these creatans are in an uproar about. It’s great to finally speak in my OWN VOICE!!! No blind ‘Obedience’ to the b0rg to suppress my own thoughts anymore. AHHHHH .... Sweet freedom!

supporting homosexual unions . One of my ultra-Christian classmates forwarded it to me. I was 'supposed' to foward my canned response about how dissapointed I am with Nike. Here's the link - hope it shows up.

</NDL>The canned response goes like this
I am disappointed to hear that Nike has thrown its support behind homosexual civil unions. I will pass this information on to others, and I will find another brand of shoe to purchase.
I hope you will reconsider your support for civil unions (and, indirectly, homosexual marriage), although I doubt very seriously if you will.
But I deleted that and said the following:
This is not the typical letter of dissapointment. Instead, I want to lend my support to Nike for your stand on same sex unions. I am a heterosexual female, spiritual, perhaps even Christian. However, I do not feel it is my right to tell anyone else how to live, or how I think God wants them to live.
Kudos to you NIKE for supporting your employees in their choice for happiness. I trust that your verbal and written support will also include the same benefits for same sex unions as those for heterosexual marriage.
Warmest regards,
Loyal NIKE consumer

CO says not to read anything on here. So here I am. Hello
by ocsrf inmy history,.
47 years doing the jw thing from the age of 3.. many good times and many times i thought i was worthless especially as a teenager.

You'll find the people here to be more like 'brothers and sisters' than those at the KH. Here we can speak freely - no elderettes on patrol (a few trolls trying to bring us back into the fold, or shame us, show us up, or whatever the h**l their motives are). You can be sure that whatever you've been through in the b0rg, somebody here understands.
WELCOME, again .

Hello ocsrf and WELCOME to the forum!

I am new here, former JW left years ago.
by out of the box ini want to discuss my experiences with the witnesses.
how it began: i was recruited during the time i was escaping from a violent husband to a shelter.
a witness came to my door as i was preparing to move during the day without him knowing (while he was at work).

Welcome outofthebox! ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Like outnfree said, we have a unique perspective after leaving a cult But ONLY if we learn from the experience and determine never to be deceived (or deceive others) again.
I have to say I admire you for leaving the abusive husband. How absolutely INSANE that someone would show an abuser the type of reasoning those wackos showed your husband! That's part of the beauty of being 'out' - we know there is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL appoach to living a full and happy life. We can make our own decisions and live our own lives, with the input we choose to accept from our friends, loved ones and professionals et al.
