Thanks for posting. What a great "experience" lol...great writing. I love seeing how "we" - I use that pronoun very loosly - are seen through the eyes of those evil worldly people.
I love these articles that make JWs look ridiculous without being "apostate"...something like this I can leave open on the computer and share with my wife. Thanks again LDR.
so i know that there has been a lot of discussion about coco rocha and it is pretty much a proven fact that she is a jw.
i was surprised, though, to see her make a public statement in about it in people magazine.
we were in the doctor's office waiting room and my wife pointed it out to me.
I know a young-ish elder (44) who posted a link and pic on his FB page and said 'good article of 'our' supermodel JW sis' ... 'you go sis'
um...WTF. ?! I thought it was funny...guess it shows hw must be a liberal elder. lol.
Thanks for all the work providing info here Tbrando...entertaining thread. I think "HappyDad" should come back and apologize thought lol. (see page 4 pretty funny "asshat" that knows a lot about stuff)
So glad they got this child molesting s o b. He will see what his perversions we like as he experiences jail life.
i was moved from the post of another user on this topic.like the film "there will be blood" that deals with passive aggression in religion i do now think that there will be an inevitable uprise against the lunatics of the governing body .too many of us wake up in a rate that has never been seen before because of the internet .what do you think ?
what shape will this uprise take ?.
cuba libre.
I think Oprah could do a week long exposee on the JWs...and do some damage. Come on Oprah, feel like bringing down a cult???
watching "our whole association of brothers" for the meeting tonight, and we came to the part where the japanese brother lost his two kids and wife.
he went on to relate that holy spirit helped him to cope with the loss.
i came unglued!
MS...it will never make sense. Like the two witnesses on a bus full of dubs headed to an assembly in FL. Why didn't Jahs spirit jump on board and motivate the driver not to make the wrong turn???
Sorry bud, I deal with these cray questions to
i'm sure alot of you have noticed, the influx of new jwn members with "postitions within the cong" this is amazing, i myself am still an m.s.
working to get removed.
lol my wife (who has been really supportive throughout my fade) asked my why i am doing i decided to fade?.
I was an active MS when I 1st started coming to the board. They were trying hard to push me into eldership but my average of 6-7 hrs in the "ministry" discouraged them. ;-)
Now I am a irregular "publisher." --- I turn in some phantom hrs and ride around and do RVs every now and then and drink some coffee. I try very hard not to waste my own gas.
hahahaha...... .

dear brothers:.
How are they "nested" ???...I am not quite picturing that...Does thay mean they are tucked one inside the other.
hello everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.. i am a mid 30's just stepped aside elder, who just couldn't handle it anymore.. i am a 3rd generation born-in and former pioneer and bethelite.
it has been a log somewhat confusing ride for me, but i am finally settling in to realizing that i need to really look at what me and my family are doing.. .
its funny though what really got me here... it wasn't the 40 year old men telling me they were looking at boobies on the computer and hoping not to get in trouble, it wasn't the watching young people bail left and right, it wasn't the ever changing new light etc... but a simple thought.. .
Welcome..
LOL
".. it wasn't the 40 year old men telling me they were looking at boobies on the computer and hoping not to get in trouble..."
hello, i am new and i feel soooo wrong about being here.
anyway i am an m.s and have been disillusioned ever since the new understanding that came out in october.
i have read many things on this board that i have and also have not thought about.
I remember feeling exactly the same way you did...exactly. Read my first post and you'll see...MS too, disolusioned etc. I feel for you, this is a good place sometimes just to type...and give a few insane experiences. Theraputic. Did I spell that right?! ;-)
Take care
the round of "international" conventions that started in the middle of last year in the states "wrapped" up last weekend in new zealand.
there was some media converage (from which i derived the information that follows).
(someone who knows how to copy links may be able to provide the relevant media links?).
I'll never forget a circuit Ass. I went to about 2008, First time ever ZERO Baptisms out of a 800+ assembly. I remember the gasps
