  Trashed WT's found in Dr.s' waiting room Friday. Do you trash literature you find?

  took the magazines in the waiting room and dumped them in the trash.

  was a great feeling.

  to think many witnoids wont dare throw out the surplus magazines they have in stacks around the house is amazing.

  this morning as my husband and i were backing out of our garage to head out to the farmers market a jw was walking up our walkway with his invitation.

  he didn't see us and we didn't rocongnize him but a brother and sister we knew well actually looked our way.

  we decided not to bother and went our way to enjoy a lovely morning picking out fresh fruit and vegetables knowing when we got home the invitation would be stuffed in our door.

  i am vocal visible apostate with a transgender kid i support publicly and i am getting HUGGED in public by an active witness; WHY??

  my initial withdrawal from the cult about 5 years ago or so, was as a fader, but now there is no doubt i am so over the cult, having publicly sat on the board of the local pflag chapter!

  my bumper stickers declare don't believe everything you think and stop the violence; legalize marijuana (also a generic pflag sticker)... i am out and i aint coming back and i denounce the cult as a cult, i never call it anything else... .

  today at the local food co-op a congregant saw me and bee-lined it over to hug me!

  you all spend all your time bickering about religion and doctrine and god and evolution and atheists, not to mention all the discussion about athiests too.

  you are totally ignoring an important subject.

  we haven't had one fucking decent discussion of dr. who in at least a year!!!.

  the tactic of disdain for others called out as BS

  by chickpea in

  1. jw

  it doesnt matter if the group is a church or a gang or a sewing circle or masculinity itself, asking members to dislike, disown, or distance themselves from another group of people as a condition of belonging is always about control and power.

  i think we have to question the intentions of any group that insists on disdain toward other people as a membership requirement.

  it may be disguised as belonging, but real belonging doesnt necessitate disdain.. .
