"Brothers, Sisters, newly interested ones. I know most your faces here as you know mine.
Id like to ask you all a question.
What can we learn from a goat?! (The hall fills with laughter and the elder has a grin and has a chuckle too)
Well! Let me tell you the struggle of the goats ans the goats keeper. A Goat will eat, consume, digest what ever it is given or what ever it is left no option to eat.
If the goat is fed on good,high quality food the goat will grow strong! The goat will reap you milk and off spring and live a healthy life!
If you neglect the goat it will be a very different story. You see, if you feed the goat Shit, it will become shit, but the goat will only eat the shit if lef.............."
The hall errupts in both gasps and and laughter. I was working the sound box and i had the PO say rather loud "ScruffMcBuff turn the sound off!!!" In a huge panic and rushed to the platform.
The talk was scrapped and we skipped to the watchtower.
Turns out in the elders home country "shit" is infact not a swear word and used freely!
This remains the BEST meeting i ever attended.

What immodest clothing have you got in trouble for wearing?
by Addison0998 ini personally have a very distinct sense of style and fashion which many of the fellow jdubs frown upon.
recently, i was told by a few specially self righteous ones that i looked like a prostitute in a pair of white boots!
a pair of 3 inch heeled, just a little taller than the ankle boots, with skirt that came down to my knees and a black long sleeve shirt that came up to my collarbone.

I was councelled by both my dad and the elders for having the sleeves on my shirt too tight around my biceps.
I tried to explain that shirts arent made for people my shape but,Nope! Satan was in my sleeves!!

PIMO to POMO
by MaybeSo inok i'm ready for the transition.
i am not writing anything to anyone or writing some dumb letter.
the calls and visits trying to get me to come back will soon follow, the family guilt trips will intensify, loss of friends- really more like cult member associates, how the hell am i supposed to do this?

I was disfellowshiped, So unqualified to offer advice on how to fade etc. But if i may I will add this. They only have as much controll and power over you as YOU give them.
You dont have to return thier calls.
You dont have to answer thier questions
You dont have to go to thier bullshit kangaroo court.
Once your out you will realise how insignificant,sad and pitiful they really are.
Well done this is a big moment and I for one am very happy to hear your finally breaking free.

Reference my last seems property on that road range from £450,000 for a flat to £900,000 + for a house. So that price is likely accurate. Considering the building will be of useless set up and require substanial remodelling.My appologies.

Half a mil? Wimbeldon?? Whats wrong with it? Seems very cheap for the area.
I of course make this statement without seeing it. I know a fellow who just bought a 3 bed detatched house in wimbeldon for £2,500,000!!

What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?
by ILoveTTATT2 ini had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.
i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.
however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?

My situation was different to most as i was out a long long time before i realised the WTS was a crock of shit.
I was disfellowshiped and nothing more then pissed off at the lies told to me by elders for being disfellowshiped and refusal for my reinstatment.
Some years later i taped jehovahs witness in youtube. And alot of videos greeted me there. It opened my eyes, then i foundmyself here.
I think youtube will continue to play a significant roll for JWS who are begening to fade. As you can type very vauge searches that wouldnt arrose suspicion if seen from afar ( for our oppressed faders) so if your one of the people who make youtube videos. Even if you dont get many views or comments. Please please keep going. You never know who your helping or comforting.
