Learn The Theocratic Language
by metatron inafter several shots of liquid derived from fermented potatoes (well, gin gives me a headache), i will help you with terminology that dominates the sad, insular world of the "truth".
privilege - (n.) -an ironic term, carries an opposite meaning.
supposedly something rare and treasured but in the witness world refers to something you want to avoid, like being an elder, carrying the mics or anything else that they want to sucker you into doing.

Read This Book: Crisis of Allegiance
by headisspinning inwe already read crisis of conscience which was incredible, but if you are canadian, you need to read crisis of allegiance.
my husband knows a lot of the players and if you're an ex-canadian elder you probably will too.
he is just riveted and i can't wait to read it next!.

Do you find JW's have a way of getting in your head & you can't shake it?
by InterestedOne ini have a jw acquaintance whom i do odd jobs for because we supposedly became friends a few years ago.
we became acquainted before i knew about her worldview.
when i do odd jobs for her, sometimes in passing she will make not-overtly-religious-but-still-jw-type comments that make my skin crawl, but i don't respond.

by itsbeenalongtime ini have been thinking a lot about how once someone is appointed in the in hall....such as a ms or elder...how many people always make such comments as: "well jehovah has appointed him so we have to deal with it" or "even jehovah uses wicked people in his organization"..how can people believe this??
i do not understand how holy spirit can be apart of such beliefs.
i know of a brother in our hall right now that has committed fornication, never telling anyone about it.

48 hours of "what if" until I speak with my therapist
by OccupyJehovahsWitnesses inhey everybody,.
so i just made an appointment with my therapist (these days i really only see someone when something specific comes up), as i need to discuss the statue of limitations in my state for child sex abuse cases.. i've actually been doing some preliminary work on a book that i'm writing, at the recommendation of a different (previous) therapist and in so doing have been reading the conti transcripts.
i must say, she is quite the inspiration.

Wasps in Awake
by Retrovirus inthe "was it designed" articles in awake usually annoy the hell out of me, but the one in the march issue (p25) is a real gem and i can't wait to discuss it with my jw ladies.. the musta-been-designed is the ovipostor of the wood-boring wasp.
so i can ask, if it's so evidently ( .
and that would include the wasp familiy pompilidae, right?

by Damosa injust a shortie to say hi as a newbie and thanks to all for the encouragement this site brings.
i have found a new and good way to fade, not having been to a meeting now for 8 months, it was triggered by a meet with a local elder who seemed to be playing the same record i had listened to in 1966 when i was baptised.
gb is recommending put marriage and having children plans on hold as there cant be long to go, amd forget college .. i am now living in the philippines having left good old uk where i am married to a filly who has a catholic backgound but hardly practising.

Hello kjw53!
by Retrovirus inwelcome to the forum!.
i noticed you have posted a consistent message on a number of threads, and wanted to give you a your own platform to tell us why you are here and anything else you'd like us to know.. fwiw, i'm a non-jw who has members and friends in the organisation.
i have limited contact with them because i've not "progressed" satisfactorily with my "studies".
