  WT/JW.org is abusive. Label Licker, you are soft and gentle and warm. You have a heart. You are not a cold blooded, calculated liar. WT/JW.org is the guilty one.

  As the Bible says, "What does light have to do with darkness?"

  I now have a law degree!

  hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.

  like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.

  having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.

  this might be my last post.

  i've had quite a few things on my mind over the past few years, mainly my belief in god.

  i've tried to move on from the jw past but that's really being foolish.

  Between flip flop doctrines and an abusive ex, I thought LoisLane was losing her marbles. lol

  After a divorce, and therapy, I am happy to say my marbles are just fine. and

  Anyone involved in WT/JW.org has been abused and needs help. There is no shame or embarrassment in that.

  We all want you to succeed. Post like you are doing tonight and tell us what is on your mind and what is happening to you. Okay???

  You need time to metamorphose into the beautiful butterfly, all of us, are. Let us help.

  weird: passing around literature fragments in prison

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i dont have any specific references, but over the years i remember reading in the mags and hearing in talks stories of imprisoned jws who would somehow get a piece of a page of a jw magazine or an article or something like that and pass it around and get spiritually nourished by it as if it almost had a magical or supernatural nature.

  does anybody else remember such?.

  i always thought it just didnt make sense.

  How I heard it, someone would get something smuggled in page by page or less often, one (1) whole magazine and it would get copied down so more people could 'benefit' from the 'spiritual riches' coming from the zealots of Brooklyn.

  I recall one experience told about Eastern Europe, where sister's would bring walnuts in a basket to the JW prisoners in jail. (Obviously, where this was allowed). The top ones were real in case the guard helped himself. The bottom ones had been carefully opened with their meat extracted and a page from a Watchtower tightly rolled up, stuffed in, and the two shells glued back carefully together.

  PS I appreciate this topic so I can clean that corner of my brain out from worthless information.

  Gerrit Losch talks to poor South Americans about Materialism while wearing THREE (3) gold rings and 2 gold cuff links...

  OldGOAT aka OldHippie , Why are you picking on me???

  I am only sharing what is on youtube . What are your 3 sentences about? Me??? We disagreed a few months back. I said, let's take it off line. Are you waiting in the shadows to intentionally find fault with something I found harmless???

  Everyone doesn't speak clearly. I shared that I appreciated hearing such beautiful Spanish. Did you expect me to give flowers to a GB member for publicly speaking in a language foreign to him??? Forget it.

  Losch cheapened himself and his message by waving around three (3) unrelated rings. It looked like they were even different carot gold. He looked tacky. And I hated his checkered tie.

  Go pick on someone else OldGOAT.

  Shunning Among the Shunned

  by Quendi in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wonder if anyone else has had this experience or know of others who have.

  when i was disfellowshipped, i approached another disfellowshipped person after the memorial celebration and asked him over for some refreshments and conversation.

  he turned down my invitation saying that the elders had told him that he could not even talk to other disfellowshipped persons unless and until both he and they were reinstated!

  I never heard that one before.

  I was told decades also by a sister who had been DF in LA that there were lots of get together's for DF ones. She also told me that while she was out, that she saw a therapist for her many problems. She said there was a number of therapists with xJW clients.

  I feel so sorry for the fellow that said no, he could not go out with you, even for a cup of coffee. Most probably since he was DF, he was trying to tow some stupid Elder's line and just went home. So sad. That Elder was seriously cruel. It is harmful not to have freedom to meet with others, especially, those in like circumstances.

  I LOST IT ... my JW rant today

  by talesin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i just couldn't hold it in anymore.. today, i exploded, talking to my mother about the family inheritance and how i am being screwed.. i told her i had been so angry lately, and just had to tell her what i was thinking, because the anger was slipping out at times, and i was making snide anti-jw comments .... which is not my way.

  i'm usually quite direct.. i told her that i couldn't take being treated like a piece of dog you-know-what on the bottom of someone's shoe any longer.. that in the past couple of years, i had learned so much filth about the jws that i was getting more and more disgusted day by day.. i started shouting ... there is nothing wrong with me!!!

  why do i have to be shunned when they hide child molesters???.

  This neighbor sounds too trigger happy. Some people, no matter what religion, are nutters, and kill people for no reason.

  I feel for you and I am sorry you and your area have to put up with this jerk.

  Do you have a Councilman, or Mayor to write to or email.?

  What about your area State Representative. Tell him what you told us. That the local density of people is growing, and you are afraid someone might possibly get shot or killed. Is it possible to find out someway, to see if his guns are registered, or do you have something like homestead rights and on your own property you can have any kind of arsenal you want?

  Is it possible this man has been in jail and should not even have one gun?

  Do you have any town ordinance for quiet time that he might be violating?

  ---> If you go the KHall route, I might see a Lawyer first and have the Lawyer write the letter to the KHall and not put your name on it, just be "the client". Say that this man is not a good neighbor, not a good Christian man, and say he also used profanity in addressing you. Possibly, say, you were interested in learning more about JW.org but this man and his family are such poor examples of their faith, you don't want anything to do with a religion that would have those hypocrites in it.

  I do know how irritating it is when you want to enjoy a summer night and you have to contend with neighbor noise.

  Where was the dead body of Jesus? Did the disciples disappear it?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am currently an skeptic, but i have to admit that i can't assure that all the stuff of early christianity was false.. for instance, we know that the genuine letters of paul were written before the destruction of jerusalem.

  so, paul affirmed that jesus resurrected, though he was not there when it supposedly happened.

  but, if jesus did not resurrect, why didn't the jews expose this falsehood?.

  I saw the film "Jerusalem" at IMAX. All you have to do is watch the film and they will show you EXACTLY the true tomb where Jesus was placed and was resurrected from.

  When I was in Jerusalem I was shown at least two (2) authentic tombs.
