  has anyone else received this email?

  "items priced to move, up to 80% off cost".

  i'd post the email but i worry they put secret identifying marks on it somehow.

  I have known some very rich people. They didn't get rich letting any money go slip sliding away.

  Some could actually be known as greedy.

  WT is greedy. Taking children's ice cream money? How low can you go?

  Who says these tools for sale... up to 80% off, are all of them? Maybe they sold the best ones for the best price and these left over ones... are worn out, really used junk that are now offered to the lowly publisher's for sale. Up to 80% off is a red herring to get people hooked in to look.

  When did JW..org do anything for the true benefit of Christian Charity? LOL

  7 Things Most JW's Dont Know They're Supposed To Believe

  i decided to spend my sunday morning creating a youtube video highlighting 7 things most jw's dont know they're supposed to believe.

  most of these i learned only after my exit of the cult.

  here's hoping a few jw's will stumble upon it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er44oc0p4ny&feature=youtu.be.

  Excellent. Short and to the point. But... the beautiful music, to my ears, seemed a bit loud while Geoffrey Jackson was speaking. I know what he says because I watched the whole 'show' a year ago last Aug. but for new viewers, my suggestion is to cut the music while he is speaking.

  Thank you for doing a great job and getting it out there.

  Hopefully it will do it's job of waking some good folk up before they spend another minute in this man made up, world wide real estate redevelopment religion... so these naive and innocent people can get on with their own lives leaving JW..org behind.

  i got out detecting for an hour this evening.

  the field just two minutes from my house has been harrowed but not seeded which makes it perfect for me.

  hopefully it will stay that way until it is seeded in the spring.

  I don't like the person i am becoming...

  by SpunkedTeen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have not been active here lately just lurking mostly but i have no one to talk to and i need some help i guess.i started working out and became friends with my personal trainer(we went to school together).i started going out with him(lying to my mother about what i was doing,another thing to add to the list of lies,it's becoming too easy!

  ) and i notice i'm slowly becoming the worldy people that the jw's described.i've become very selfish and rude and very apathetic towards everything and everyone.i always thought the values that jw's taught were really good.if i cut ties with the only friend i have now , i would probably slip into a deep depression and i that is something that i want to avoid at all costs.i start university in january and my plan was to stick it out in the organisation until i got my degree and became fully independant but as of late a elder told me i am being considered to become a m.s and told me what i need to work on and since then the other elders have been nagging me to work on the same things.i'm trying to rid my self of my 'priveleges' in the cong but nothings working...if anyone has experienced a similar situation what advice would you give?

  , oh and my mom was always super into the religion having been a pioneer and bethel worker for years but we went to the regional convention two weeks ago and now she is even more exasperating (for example a sister asked my why i was 19 years old and not a ms or serving at bethel yet, which is fine i've learnt how to deal with these questions but when i told my mother whom has always been content with me just being in the religion and never pushed me towards anything asked me if i was happy with what i was and if i would not be happier at bethel or regular pioneering.

  If I have read this all correctly, you are a 19 year old baptized brother that has one friend, a former school mate and now your personal trainer. You are living at home and going to Uni in Jan. You feel you have become a lying, rude, selfish and apathethic individual.

  Maybe just self preservation?

  Some on here have said men don't mature until they are about 25. You have got a lot to think about but are headed in the right direction.

  There are always nosy Jdubs. In fact most of them have no personal boundaries. It happens in groups when you are supposed to call strangers, brother and sister.

  You have approximately 10 weeks before school starts. Keep posting and venting and asking questions. Many wish we were 19 years old again with advise from the good hearted people here on JWN/JWD.

  All the very best to you for a bright and happy future.

  Question about an elder and if I am crazy

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  ok so i have a question.

  i was a very, very true believer until i saw the child molesters in my hall and how that whole thing was handled.. my husband is older than i am and had been an elder for 12 when we married.

  so fast forward to 06, we are in a hall where i thought all the elders were ok at the worst and great at the best.

  LITS, You are dealing with possibly dangerous, nutso people. We all know the Elder's are in a Big Boys Club and some are doing wrong even illegal things.

  Can you just stay away from them and get your rest, see your therapist and keep posting here. You are not crazy. The situation is though.

  Hugs to you my good and honest friend who happens to be swimming in a pool with sharks.

  Take good care of yourself first.

  less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

  This is another WT money grabbing stunt.

  In old time highway robbery, the bandits (apparently) used to say, "Your money or your life".

  With JW..org, they take both.

  i got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.

  i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.

  he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.

  Granny Grace,

  Everyone should have one. At least we had the pleasure of her company with her cheeky personality and that she made each of us feel loved.

  If there is a Heaven, I hope you are up there enjoying it's delights.

  My sincere condolences to all of her dear family and friends.
