Its the worst thing in the world. However my 8 month old daughter thinks its fantastic, so who am I to argue???

I'm new here

by Apostanator in

this is the first time i feel comfortable posting something.

i've been a lurker for over a year and i must say there are a lot of courageous people here who left the watchtower.

thank god for the internet and sites like this.

in an earlier post i spoke of a young relative who is 16 and pregant and wanted me to help her get an abortion without the knowledge of her parents.. well i got the young girl to speak with her parents.

i accompanied her.

i wasn't 100% comfortable with my advice to tell her parents, because they are both dubs to the letter and dad is a hot head - he and i had numerous fights as kids growing up.

That sounded like a tough one, well done- it couldnt have been easy. My thoughts will be with you, your cuz and everyone else involved. I hope it goes ok whatever happens.

2 jws just called

by Satanus in

two jw ladies w their best smiles on knocked on my door today.

i just closed the door on them, after one had said her good morning line.

i suppose you could say that i left them w smiles on their faces.

I had 2 brothers call on me about a year ago, I didnt know them and just politely said I wasnt interested. One was obviously new and so so so keen with his magazines, so that when I said this he just left it at that, which I was greatful for.

Thing is there are so many things I could now say to them but I already KNOW the arguments they might come back with- whats the point?

Honesty/Vs/tolerance--X-JW dilemna

by cyber-sista in

this has been a struggle i have had since leaving the wt some 2 years ago.

i have been pretty low key thus far about the reasons i have left and haven't really gone out of my way to speak to any jws about it.

i have a nephew that is dfd and my daughter has a friend who is dfd and i have had a few brief discussions with them about the subject of my leaving.

PaulJ

I have decided recently not to talk to people about it, unless i am asked. While i have much less respect now for the WT, ultimately its a choice thing, and i CAN respect choices people make, even if I feel they are wrong.

Feeling everything is going to be ok (Relying on Jehovah)

by rick1199 in

does any one else have a small voice a the back of their head telling them every thing is going to be ok ?

and does any one else find this gets them into trouble ?

its only been just over a year since i stopped beliesving that jehovah would solve all my problems, but evan now i tend have a small feel that something will come along that will get me out of any situation.

PaulJ

I believe that what will be will be. I never wanted to wholly rely on Jehovah, although I felt he helped on some occasions. Some times things work out ok for you, other times they dont.

How To Enjoy Assemblies By Being Rebellious

by metatron in

1. go out to lunch at every session.

bring back bags of fast food that say "burger king".

or "mcdonalds" on them.

This stuff is golden!!!!!! If I can add a few-

During the 'keynote address' on the sunday afternoon... snore... loudly.

If you are sat towards the end of a row and have the situation where you have to stand up for people to get past you (probably every convention in the UK at least)... fall asleep with your legs out as much as possible.

Take notes.... but say everything you write down OUT LOUD

Sneeze loudly and then pretend to wipe snot off the shoulders of the person in front of you.

Open a can of coke just an inch or 2 away from the ear of the person sat in front of you... or.... shake the can up really hard.... then open it.

When you see an attendant counting your section, get close enough to say "24....35.....68......56......71....." to make him lose count

Pretend you know the speaker and make things up about him, and tell the person next to you.... out loud.

Go dressed as an over-the-top-pimp

When in a large crowd of people, say "nice ass"

Sing really really out of tune.... and keep the note going until the next verse starts.

Wear the same pair of socks for the whole convention, then on the sunday afternoon, take your shoes off.
