  I can't take it anymore!

  my dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.

  now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.

  he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

  Who can come up with the punch line why JW's are not delusional.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jw seek treatment for mental breakdown.. he tells the physician, my non-jw  family tell me i'm nuts because i preach we are the only true religion (jws).. the doctor said that is strange because i have two patients that checked in yesterday and they .

  each said they belong to the only true religions.

  one is a mormon and the other a muslim.. so the doctor thought i will lock all three up in the same room for the night and see what.

  ... last night I learned Muslim's won't eat pork and Mormons won't drink coffee but I'll swallow anything so obviously I have the truth because that's just nuts!

  johnny santa cruz and i met around 1959 at a movie theater in fort worth, texas.. the purpose of that meeting was to create a fanclub for horror movie director william castle.

  a week or so later, johnny stopped me as i was walking home from elementary school.. "hey--i think i know you.

  weren't you at the william castle fanclub thing?".

  Art, you are not "screwed". You are "unscrewed" now that you know the truth. Welcome. Feel free to ask specific questions as they come to you. You have the whole world ahead of you!

  Mass baptism nullification 10/2/16 #unJW

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would rework this and try it again.

  i found an old baptism nullification letter here written by poster balsam, and revised it a bit.. i really think we should do a large-scale baptismal nullification request.

  letter and more info here.. i am concerned there is no way to track how many people did it.

  I hate to say it but I once, innocently, called for mass protest to a site or organization and didn't realize it was actually spamming. That is not allowed on here so I assume someone will bring it up and take down your post. Could be wrong but who knows?

  “I suppose it is the nature of things that, as one ages, one is obliged to witness the gradual loss of all that one has ever cared for until the laggard self slips into what is, at the end, an altogether commonplace and so common darkness.”

  From 1876 by Gore Vidal.

  How much of the Society's publications just get stored away in the garage?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  almost a year ago i moved back to the dallas - fort worth area after spending 16 years in the northern california area.

  the area i live in has several nearby parks and walkways and these areas have several "share a book" pods mounted on a pole spaced about 1/2 mile from one another.

  people are encouraged to add books they no longer use to these pods and to take one if they are interested.. i have been diligent on removing watchtower publications from them and what has surprised me is how many old publications in pristine condition are added almost on a daily basis.

  Who hasn't had stacks of unplaced magazines and felt "guilty" for throwing them out? I took a truck full to the dumps when I finally pulled my head out of my arse. So much stuff! Total crap. I knew witnesses that were like hoarders of the stuff.

  I would rather be in the JW cult than the ex-jw cult

  by questioningmyfaith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted one other time on this website.

  just for the mere fact that i wasn't anger and bitter and ready to declare the gb the sociopathic criminals that so many here ascribe to, my initial question digressed to bickering over ad hominem attacks against the gb and not my beliefs that i'm questioning.

  some did give me some help on my questions.

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.
