now that you are free.. away from the long arm of the society.. what would you like to do that you couldn't do as a witness?.
what's keeping you from doing it?.
Silkribbon,
If more people who answer "Are you going to help me pay my bills?" They would probably shut up about that guilt trip of missing meetings. What do they think money falls from heaven?
Put that together with the service industry being the only place to find jobs, alot of folks are working nights and weekends.
lets give the fellas a "heads up".....what do you want for christmas???.
.
I'm not really a young woman but I would love to have a Wii----even better and PS3. Yep, I'm a gamer. LOVE IT!
if anyone can help me understand what goes on in the mind of elders?
is there a buddy mentality to protect each other and the flock and sacrifice those who make waves?
ive gathered coming here that may be true.. the reason im asking is because my mother has found herself in a very difficult situation and im really worried for her.
How has he had all these wives and still be an elder? That should tell ya something.
.....that when a worldly person wants to join the wts, but is living a sinful life.....the witnesses go out of their way to lovingly help him out of his life of sin.
but, when a jw (one of their own) commits a sin against jehovah...that person is disfellowshipped.
case closed.....no love, no care,....just cast out.
Never thought of it that way, but it's completely true.

Yeah, what ninja said.
If she goes to the elders, being a woman it will be HER FAULT that he is abusive. It always is. She will be told to be a better wise and all that crap.
in real life i avoid people who are complaining pain in the asses.i stay away from extremely negative types.. how about you???
?.
Mean people are the main ones I stay away from. Also, people who look for conspiracy everywhere. The world is scary enough without looking for stuff to worry about.
JW trolls who come in just to make us mad. It's a shame I let those kind of people push my buttons. They just argue what they are programmed to argue, with no logic to back it up.
On the flip side, people with a sense of humor (even dark humor is great) and compassion for other people are the ones I try to make friends with.
my wife found this earlier this morning.
he speaks after the first 20 seconds and sounds sharp.

Did you notice the nasty comments posted by some JW's under the video?
Ray led us out of the bushes and then we don't have squat? Yes we do. We FINALLY can see Christ and we have each other.
I admire the man for his courage, humility, and genuine love for people. He's awesome in my book.
The reason he doesn't want followers is because it would be a bunch of ex-JW's with ISSUES. I mean, really, how much can one man deal with. (That WAS a joke--don't flame me).
as miracle max (billy crystal) said about westly in the movie the princess bride, hes only mostly dead (i love that movie).
i have gotten a few inquiries over the last few months about why i am posting a little more recently.
wasnt i ill, sick?
Hey Seven,
I've not met you yet, and I'm sure that is my loss. Your post moved me. The human spirit in action, unrepressable----inspiring. I do hope you will feel like talking with us more. It would be great to get to know you.
and do rappers make up a dance every few years to show us white folks for the rhythmless wonders that we are?
if i hear soulja boy again tonight i will scream.
but i was heck on the electric slide back in the 90's..
DON'T look up Spiderman. It's worse than Superman. To think I sang this song for about two months!!! Even tried to learn the dance. It plum evaded me.
