I have decided that I am a now a "No-Hova Witness", how about you?

Do they announce when a pioneer steps down at your hall?
by Evidently Apostate induring the announcements they stop to bring up an elder and he states " hairy mary is no longer a pioneer" (not a real name) in a tone very similar to a disfellowshipping.
i have heard it twice now but only from the hall my wife attends now.. anyone else hear of this?.

You're only an ATHEIST because of the abusive relationship you had with your former religion..?
by Velour inthe few times that i've had a chat about my atheism, i usually get a response like the one above.
"well, seeing how you were in a cult- i can understand why you're an atheist now," just dismissing the bulk of the reasons i have for my disbelief.. i think what is particularly awkward about someone telling me this is- it's part way true- only part way though.
however, they stop listening after i explain to them that, "yes, being in a cult was an impetus to my search" and they fail to hear the rest of what i'm saying and believe that i went from point a to point f and just skipped all the steps and months of research in between out of some kind of anti-jw tantrum.
