Too restricting + more

by jdash in

good news or bad news first?

i'll do bad.. my grandmother is becoming more and more strict as i turn closer to 18, which is in 3 months.

i ask for the most simplest thing and it's like "let me think about it" i don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but i just want to be normal.

both ladies are in there early 60's and born in.. my heart started pumping, but i had to act.i was directly across the street from them.

i walked right to the sidewalk and said in a very loud, but not mean voice: "you can't teach overlapping generations from the bible!!

JW org collapses

by I Faded Twice in

ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.

honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.

to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.

They could sell all thier halls and still be around.

Online only, splinter groups meeting in Brother Paranoids basement. Sending the monthly donantions to jwbroadcasting on the caymen islands.

Brain washed is brainwashed they will do as told!

WT Recruiting JW Solicitors (Lawyers)

by AverageJoe1 in

we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.

at least that is their official stance.

it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.

My father is an educated professional and is used for his services, F.O.C of course. But when he had major surgery and was homebound. How many visits did he get?

Not a single one.

by Apostate Anonymous in

backstory:.

so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.

This is my favourite thread on here! I wanna print em all off and post around the kingdom hall areas! But they would thrive off the "persecution".

Funny occurrences

by Freedom rocks in

what were some funny experiences you had of things that happened during talks at the meetings?.

a few of mine:.

- a brother had dyed his hair before his talk and it was raining heavily when he arrived at the hall and the dye was running down his face during his talk and his skin went more and more grey as the black dye ran down it.

- our hall got invaded by some lads throwing flower around the hall

-reference my thread on the swearing elder

-we had a cat fall through a suspended ceiling at our old hall

Bethelites Vow Of Poverty

by pale.emperor in

former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.

it reads rather culty.

i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.

scruffmcbuff

How on earth do these people expect to survive the rest of thier life??

Wasting the fittest and strongest thier bodies will ever be in slavery!

The new age of bethelites must be a special kind of crazy. The JW cult has changed everything it teaches,reference:1914 overlapping etc etc. And despite all that they STILL sign up. Honestly they would have a better time in the military.

Id like to share a story

by scruffmcbuff in

as i spend more time here, things id forgotten come back, mostly bad and some i plan to share eventually.. but this one is happy, one of a sunday talk by a new elder from nigeria in our hall.

i remember the intro word for word.

id like to share it with you.. "brothers, sisters, newly interested ones.

scruffmcbuff

I felt bad for the man! He had not uttered a single swear word in my opnion. It was good enough for jehovah in nigeria so its good enough for jehovah else where surely??

But this one is happy, one of a sunday talk by a new elder from Nigeria in our hall. I remember the intro word for word. Id like to share it with you.

"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 in

i 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.

scruffmcbuff

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!!
