Ya mean that loving place where jws have told me gawd's gonna kill me & birds are gonna peck my eyes out?? Lol! I gave it up for lent. It's not fun anymore. Too many "poop" discussions, love life problems & wierdos in there.
Where have all the obnoxious, hilarious jws gone? Whateverhappened to Dent?
Did Judi ever find out the true meaning of head? Did Burlingtony the good jw ever find anyone stupid enough to have cyber sex with him? Inquiring minds wanna know :)

The Biggest Scandal In Your Congregation
by Hunyadi ini attended a notorious congregation as a child, the infamous winter gardens congregation!
my cousin and his best friend, both named joe, were elders, my cousin was the po and the other joe was a total loser suck up who wanted to be just like my cousin, joe.
what was even funnier, as i get off point a bit, is that "suck up" joe's wife, cathy, did everything she could do to get her pudgy lil self to dress, look, walk, and talk like my cousin joe's wife, clementine.

Mouthy is out, because I don't believe she has a cranky bone in her body.
But, on the other hand, she is a hottie! Maybe there lurks a smoldering wild cat there, hiding :)

Probably would have been the elder/chiropractor that brought his secretary into the troof & his bed. He "studied" with her. I never knew who her husband was, he didn't "study". This all came out because she got preggers. Then they both sat there dfed. She sat there hugely pregnant, df'ed. I felt so bad for her, because she didn't have many friends to begin with. They all tried to hush this up, her husband raised the child & it was only recently the chiropractor's son was told by his aunt that this kid in the congo was his "sister".
Still doesn't compare with puternet's story, but hey, l I tried :)

My mother got involved with the jws when I was 13. I hated it with a passion. I never believed their bs & was just biding my time till I could get away. At the age of 15.5 I worked 56 hours a week in a resteraunt to avoid being home & refused to go to a kingdom hall. She bided her time also.
As soon as it was legal, she threw my ass out. I lived with friends & bounced around & landed in the worst neighborhood in Arizona. An apartment complex full of welfare mamas, drug dealers, illegal aliens, professional shop lifters, & no count losers. Criminal elements of every shape & form. I shoplifted dinner when I wasn't working at the resteraunt & ate well. Hell, I learned from the rest of that apartment complex!
It was a learning experience, & it made me one tough cookie. Around the age of 20, the novelty wore off & I started looking around with a more critical eye. I realized most of these welfare children were going to grow up to be in big trouble, & many of those people would be dead soon. I started college with no parental help (the world was gonna end soon, who NEEDED college) . Thank goodness for government grants & guaranteed student loans :)
I stayed there while I went to school, got a great job, & never looked back into the psychosis that launched me there. Anyone can do it, but they must be motivated! Supportive, sane people around help also. But a person must have the drive.
Living well is the best revenge!

Who Was The Very First Poster That You Met In Real Life?
by Englishman inthe first poster that i ever met was philo.. we'd traded a few stories via the site and i realised that we knew some of the same people down in portsmouth.. he was very cagey as to his real identity, but eventually we shared emails and he told me all about himself.
one day, i took hl down to portsmouth to see my daughter who lives there.
i'd mentioned it in a post, that i was going in that direction.

Witnesses coming Saturday... I need HELP!!!!
by Globetrotter ini got into a rather heated discussion this morning with my unbaptised but raised jehovah's witness wife.
we discussed so many things: feb 1 watchtower article on 607 and 1914, the un, beth sarim, blood, god's mouthpiece here on earth, etc.
this was yet another attempt on my part to try to plant a seed of doubt.

Globetrotter, you have not taken up too much space. IMHO, the space is better allocated to this than to fluff & political rants that seem to proliferate this board lately.
GaryB, my heart goes out to you. On many points I agree with you, the marriage is the nucleus of the family. It is like the hub of a wheel, & the children are like spokes, coming out from the CENTER.
There is no room for religious fanaticism & cult mind control in that center.
I would not be in a relationship with a spouse that did not put ME first & foremost. It is an emotional affair, you are correct. This alligience to a publishing company is an emotional abandonment of the spouse. The emotional investment is not with the wife, or the family. And the jws are predators. It is their life's work. They spend hours at meetings perfecting the art. Ignore them at your peril.
I have never even heard of a marriage that was very happy that was half jw, half not. As mobbie said, there is no common ground. There is nothing in common. That is true when anyone becomes imbalanced. Any kind of fanatacism alienates others, especially a spouse. Anyone constantly spouting an "ism" wether it is a religion, anti-governmentism, materialism, whatever becomes out of focus, loses perspective. I just cannot fathom a marriage with someone who's every conversation is geared toward "preaching the good news". I cannot imagine a marriage to someone who's only use for people is to convert, convert, convert.
Globetrotter, it is not horrible things that you say. You've no reason to feel guilty. A person who is merely a puppet for a publishing company commandeers very little respect indeed. But please do NOT alienate your children. Be there for them, they need you desperately! You can help them thorugh love & education. Education about cults & how they work. Education about freedom. You can plant the seed in their minds that opens their eyes. At times they may treat you harshly, it is the mind control. but you can be their rock in a sea of abuse. You can show them through loving kindness that there are many roads to take, & they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. You can see to it that they get educated while the WBTS is saying jehoover is going to kill anyone not a jw, so that they succeed.
Do keep posting, we are here & many have been there or lived through the dysfunction.
3 cheers for mobbie!
