  Undecided

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  i have recently been disfellowshipped (after being reinstated in march).

  i saw a group of jws gathered in the town car park yesterday.

  they seemed startled when they recognised my car and talked amongst themselves giving one another a satisfied grin!

  If its just to prove a point then here is what i would do.

  Walk in to the hall 15/20 mins early, happy smiling, greeting your brothers and sister as you walk to find your seat, dead front and center.

  If asked by an elder to meet them in the second school ( is that still a thing) kindly decline as your happy where you are. leave at the end, as normal happy and fufilled with spiritual nourishment.

  Show them that thier authority dosent exist.That the disfellowshiping actually means fuck all.

  That what I did!

  Enjoy the moment.

  i just received the following link to a video where some claim that jws are pressuring syrian refugees in northern greece to convert.

  fyi, i tried to locate the date of the video, but couldn't, so don't know if it is recent or not.

  JW Stand On Concealed Carry

  by Cold Steel in

  2. beliefs

  if a jw wanted to get a concealed carry permit, would the society have any moral or ethical problems with it?

  in other words, if one of your elders noticed you were carrying concealed, would they be apt to just ignore it or would they counsel you on it?

  you make VERY valid points. if you MUST attend a kingdom hall your probably a target anyway. and anyway.

  Assumuing your half decent at concealment and keep things to yourself no one should even notice!

  An inner waistband holster works wonders.

  do you remember that my dad passed away last year and i was going back to the witnesses after 26 years?

  Firstly, sorry for the loss of your father.

  As for the disfellowshiping, they did you a favour. the way they clearly bullied you stinks but is of no suprise to you here.

  This website is a greatplace to share your expriences i lookforward to reading your posts in the future.

  It worries that my parents may be taking this advice.

  A bug out bag is a fantastic idea and i hope everyone of you have one.

  But not one like that!

  Are the Elders harder on Women

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was having a discussion with an old friend last night.

  her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of jehovah witnesses “ .

  long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men.

  Little men trying to get thier "fix of power" before they leave the hall and are back in the real world cleaning windows or doing some other low paid, un important job.

  Thats the way I always saw it anyway, When I look back at the elders who disfellowshiped me one was a door to door salesman (yes really!) one was a wheelie bin cleaner and the third was unemployed.

  They abuse the position of relative power to feel more important, a bit like children playing make believe.
