stopping in here.. when i was an active dub i was always looking over my shoulder, making sure i was doing things "correctly"....and by "correctly" i mean by jw standards.
i'm referring mainly to when it came to dating and courtship.
someone always seemed to be investigating us, hounding us so to speak.

hello jwd it has been a few months now since i initially posted an announcement regarding my intention to create a feature length documentary about the emotional and psychological effects of the wts disfellowshipping practice.
i am happy to announce that filming began the weekend before last at the 2007 a common bond conference in chicago.
i was welcomed to acbs conference with open arms.

we see alot of topics on the board about the end of the wbt$..i don`t think that will happen in our lifetime........so..lets change our focus..kingdom halls are getting fewer and fewer jw`s in them..congregations are being dissolved and kingdom halls are sold off..many jw`s are very unhappy and we see alot of them on this board.....the wbt$ is a billion dollar organization,they will survive for along time to come..........how about the jehovah`s witness`s?.......with fewer and fewer members..information about the wbt$ on the internet..and..some very depressed jehovah`s witness`s looking for a way out of the cult they are in.....will the "jehovah`s witness`s" survive?...outlaw
I for 1 would love o see a time when the wtb$ flinks into inexistence.
Sadly as with any other hard line cult, you'll always see the hangers on.... reluctant to accept that ACTUALLY THEY WERE WRONG!!!

my husband and i have been inactive for almost 8 months.
we haven't gone to a meeting and slowly our jw friends have stopped associating with us because we're "weak".
at some point, we'll be celebrating holidays.
Funny, da elders wer after me for celebrating Xmas..... My mother BEGGED me on the phone to let them DF me rather than me DA!!!
These morons (and I include my mother in this) don't want to think that any one has any control other that the elders.
***k that. (pardon my french, but it makes me soooo mad!) I walked!
Shell {happy now}
does anyone know where the models come from who appear on awakea and watchtowera magazines?
it would make sense to me that theyre dubsa as this would be saving the societya money.
or are they worldlya people?
Be a do gooding, brown nosing, pironeering, ministerial servant /preferably elder, married only once, virgin at mairriage, never smoked, never drank, never swore, always 'legal' (drinving licence, car insurance), house spotless, trousers pressed, garden mowed, car vaccuumed, tea drinking, parent loving, every one loving...

losing elders in the us puts the organization into quite a dilemma.
they hate large congregations.
but can't split without enough appointed local 'enforcers'.
nvr; completely agree; the few decent elders are burning out after having mopped up after the usleless ones.
IMO i can count on one hand 'decent, caring elders' that I met in my 37 yrs as a dub.
