i had not seen much of this even in the chicago area, but in small town bloomington-normal, il (pop.
150,000) i have seen this new tactic for the last two days at a busy train/bus station which is located in the heart of town.
Did a double take ....there they were on the side walk
in the middle of town. I watched as the people walked
by and the 2 "preachers" made no effort to communicate,
they just rocked back and forth on their heels!!!!!!
Omg people are going to think they really are bat shit crazy
now!!! hahahah

paragraph 20 out of the article in the sept 2014 study wt about fulltime service says this.... .
"full-time servants age, and so do their parents.
when parents are witnesses, likely their fondest wish is for their children to stay in their assignments.
In the 1960's watchtower said "let the dead bury the dead!"
In other words, if your family members were not jw's ....
abandon them to the other "worldlies"!
Nice guys huh?

forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.
i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.
these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.
What a happy day huh....wishing you all the best,
godspeed Dr Snare!

there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.
he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.
he was also arrested soon after this.
Trapped ....just want to say welcome here
and thanks for sharing! Did you do a post
telling a bit about yourself ...if so I missed it,
sorry.
Anyway we look forward to hearing more
and helping you as much as we can!

when i found out "ttat" i felt like muhammad ali when joe frazer knocked him down in their first fight in the 15th round.
the ref came over grab my gloves and looked me in the eyes and asked me "are you ok, can you continue" and then gave me the standing 8 count.
no it didn't knock me out but it staggered me.
Huge welcome to you No retreat! Loved your story.
All the best to you both!

incredible.
absolutely incredible.
so i asked, " isn't it 100 years since 1914 ?
"She certainly can't unhear what I told her"
Ha ha ..I agree, she will never get those words
out of her head!!!!! .... Sooner or later *****
i lurked for 2 years on this site before i joined in july 2013. what a roller coaster ride it has been.. first of all, i was a very active jw for those unfamilar with my story having been a longtime elder(21 years), regular pioneer (14 years), convention & assembly speaker, etc.
i am still an active witness because i am older now, with close to 40 years in the borg with some longtime friends.
boy how i have changed!
James Jackson ...... enjoyed your rant, were there
overtones of grieving ?.........or is that just me.
This whole process is a bit like having a bucket of
cold water dropped over your head!!!
.
During my last few years ...the thought of actually
inviting an 'interested person' to the meeting, was
a huge source of frustration for me. As single woman
I felt pretty much ignored. So I just couldn't imagine
subjecting a stranger to this depressing situation and
calling it 'gods happy people', with love so great they
wouldn't even be invited out for a cup of coffee!!!
.
Because life at the KH for me was so awful...the house
of cards came down very quickly...........
For someone else who has a goodbuddy or partner at
their side and a lot of 'pull' in the congregation their
comfort level at the meetings would probably keep
them sitting in their places a bit longer.
.
Love that you are here James Jackson. I wish you
and your wife the happiness & the freedom that you so
deserve.

This is all you can say .... why don't you learn to read!
They lied and sent me out to preach those lies for
50 years!
They said my mother would not go through menopause
and neither would I.
My mother now has died of old age and my daughters
have gone through menopause and all the grandchildren
are older than I was, when I got baptized!
They are still lying today & twisting scripture along
with all that crazy shit, trying to make it sound OK!!!
Have a listen to how they are doing this, as this video
talks about the NEW BOOK that "explains away" all their
BS!
