because i am still very much held a prisoner to past beliefs and practice, i dress in suit and tie and bring a briefcase on my frequent dates.. i talk business during the entire happy meal (macdonalds), displaying ad brochures and spreadsheets relative to whatever business plan i happen to be hawking that day.

i count the venture as a business expense and jws who frequent this fine diner know i am not on a date.

there are no smirks, no snickering, no knowing glances.

That does not sound like fun.

Memorial Non-Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT Witness to JW Friends & Family

(original version posted 2014).

notice: the following is submitted in full recognition of and with compassion and due respect for those who, due to personal circumstance, feel they are unable to employ this powerful strategy.. ---.

anyone who has awakened to ttatt and has conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent, highly-regarded, studious true-believer from a celebrated multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.

I think my last memorial was 2003. It may have been 2004, but who's counting?

Why is sex a taboo subject to be discussed about?

by googleTTATT in

people are having it very well.

so why is it not discussed?.

NewYork44M

The act of sex is far more interesting than talking about sex. I don't do much talking, I am a man of action.

and i can't wish him a happy birthday.

they converted when i was an infant, so birthdays were never a thing for us.

still, i'd love to be able to throw him a party, surround him with friends and family, and show him how much he's appreciated.

Tell him happy birthday from me.

Has anyone here joined a different church after ditching the JWs?

by NikL in

i am just curious.. i have a cousin who is a baptist and his church streams their sunday services and i've been checking them out before i go to meeting with my jw wife.. i haven’t been to a church except for the occasional funeral and wedding and the only sermons i had heard were the tel-evangelist type.

anyway, all the church bashing by jws over the years made me unsure what to expect and i was pleasantly surprised.

they do use the bible and they don't spend the whole time begging for money.

In the journey of my escape from the JWs, I discovered that I was not religious. So, I never had a desire to even consider another religion or church.
