  This youtube comment on the subject of wt beards made me smile - I think I know what they meant!😉

  This makes me wonder what the bible has to say about shaving my public hair.

  Sorry to hear of those two previous experiences.

  One really overbearing elder used to tell me to get a shave, get a haircut, don't drink too much.

  He was a pompous overbearing jackass.

  Just heard he has been disfellowshipped for shagging his wife's best friend...

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  My decision.

  by MissDaSilva in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.

  i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.

  amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.

  I hope everything works out for you MissDaSilva.

  I have faded for many years. It always amuses me when I meet people I haven't met for a long time.

  If it's an old worldly workmate, neighbour or schoolfriend they always start with something like: 'Hey it's great to see you - how are you?'

  If I meet a jw I haven't seen for a few years they always skip the hello bit and begin with 'Do you still go to the meetings?'...

  Uugh - creepy..🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Any good conversation starters anyone??

  So what happens next...

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  A couple of years ago my jw elder father made a complete show/embarrassment of himself in front of a lovely, kind surgeon just before he had a life saving operation.

  At the very end of the pre-op meeting with the surgeon she asked my father if he had any further points to make.

  He then proudly and rudely told the surgeon that as a jw he didn't want any blood.

  The surgeon looked totally shocked as this was the first she had heard. I bundled my dad out in his wheelchair and went back in to the surgeon.

  I asked if my dad had given any written instructions to her or mentioned his religious beliefs, She said no not all all.

  I said just do the op and my dad will have to make sure he treats you with more respect and courtesy in the future if he doesn't want blood etc.

  I have never been more embarrassed. My father had the op and did not require blood.

  His attitude towards the surgeon stank. No respect whatsoever to the surgeon whose operation was going to possibly save his life.

  I told him when he came round that I would NEVER take him to a hospital or be put in that position ever again.

  He looked puzzled as if he had done a great thing with the surgeon -

  How many jw's go to hospital and at the 11th hour dictate to the doctors that they don't want blood without ANY PRIOR communication?

  My father cannot be the only one...
