Relax, the religion you were a part of is gone, its now a dancing, rock show, internet scam instead of the scam we knew. Fly away free little bird.

Elders & Ex Elders, did knowing sins of congregation members change how you treated them?
by Wasanelder Once inwhen you found out all the sins of fellow witnesses did it effect how you treated them?
it was shocking when i found out the range of bs these people did to each other.
i don't mean sexual abuse, i mean fraud, theft, infidelity and more.

When you found out all the sins of fellow witnesses did it effect how you treated them? It was shocking when I found out the range of BS these people did to each other. I don't mean sexual abuse, I mean fraud, theft, infidelity and more. It became hard to look at some without seeing how full of shit they were. I admit I had no patience with some. They seemed just a day away from being found out as a repeat offender as far as I was concerned. I tried not to be judgmental or biased but in some cases is was self preservation. For a few it actually made me more compassionate. What of you? What was your experience with this conundrum? -

What's the point?
by punkofnice ini mean, i don't want to be miserable or anything, but what's the bloody point of it all?.
since i left the watchtower cult, i have come to realise that god cannot possibly exist...and if a god exists...god is indifferent to humankind as the least.. in 100 years time i'll be gone.
kaput.

Some statements of little help,
Imagine if you were never born!
Enjoy what you have now!
It is all vanity, the bible got that right. BUT, its your vanity and you can do what ever the hell you want so long as you do not harm others or prevent them from enjoying their ride on the blue ball we call home. Extra cash or food, surplus of any kind is a bonus. I wish you much surplus! It's the luck of the draw. And don't count your "blessings" cause there ain't no bless-er out there.

What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?
by Funchback inin the u.s., three's company was not allowed.
it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.
the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

No war programs, ie: Combat, Rat Patrol, Bewitched etc. You get the idea.

Question jc
by poopie inmy friend is trying to be reinstated his she feels her committee is biased can she have them removed she just wants to talk to her still in family

Sorry, that would have been a matter for an appeal. Now its done and the friend must go through the hoops like everyone else. If they want to avoid the bias they may move so they are in another congregation. Even though the decision to reinstate will be with the original committee they often defer to the new congregation. So that's about all I can say. They could always keep going where they are but if there is bias they might as well go unicorn hunting, same possibility of success. -

Last Man on Earth
by SonoftheTrinity inwhat do you think of this show and is it a good way to discuss end times eschatology topics with my wife?
somehow i imagine the new heaven and new earth being a let down full of flawed characters, especially if they're jws.

I loved how it started. It has its moments. Phil/Tandy has become such a one trick character its starting to lag. It makes me chuckle now and then. It is so silly it just might make it easy to broach the subject since its not realistic and is not threatening to the mind of a JW.
