Site issues: Jan 02 Update (Sign In)

by Simon in

i've deployed a fix for people affected by sign-in issues caused by having multiple accounts associated with the same email address.

here's how to activate the fix:.

you must attempt to sign in using the email address associated with your account (not a username) and must have access to that mailbox.. if there are multiple accounts associated with the email address then you will be shown a warning message with the option to have an email sent to repair your account.. the email will contain a link to a page showing all the accounts associated with the same email address and allow you to select the one you want to be active (it will disassociate all the other accounts from the email address).. once you have completed the process then you should be able to sign in as normal.

To all my congregation Elders :

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

thank you for coming to my house so often because you were so concerned about me missing so many meetings.. ( actually, the only time you visited was when the circuit and district overseers were in town.

you really showed them how concerned you were about your sheep.

i now know that it is more of a duty than a concern.).

label licker

Pathetic, isn't it? Every time one would come up to me and say we really miss you along with a fake smile, I would reply back oh yeah, what do you miss about me? It left them speechless every time.

Through out the years they didn't mind eating our food, using our car for service every single time we were out(as a matter of fact as soon as we were heading out in the parking lot to our cars, we would let the others in our car group take the lead in seeing who would walk to who's car and they always ended up at our vehicle as though it was expected of us to drive them which we did)and not pay for gas, didn't say no to us supplying the congregation with all the meat for their hall reno, or their parties, didn't mind keeping all our shower and wedding gifts even though we were marked apostates, we were still giving gifts after we had stopped going to the meetings. The kicker to all of that was we had only gone to one wedding and one party in the twelve years we were in the cult.

There's more but after all the kindne$$ we gave, not one phonecall to see how we were doing. Not one visit or shepherding call untill they wanted us out on account of what we knew what the elders were covering up. It was two years before anyone came sniffing around stalking us. Sad they didn't miss us unless there were gifts or donations involved. Sad how the elders wanted to make hubby an elder after he had put a fair donation in the contribution box. I don't miss the fake smiles or fake conversations.

Life is what you make it and for us it's so much better with no pressure and no seven goons taking our freewill away from us telling us serving them is how we should live. All of us are survivors of the worse crimes imaginable. Live life to its fullest and never allow anyone to abuse you or take advantage of you ever again.

Campaign to Israel

by humanperson in

i have been wanting to introduce myself but i don't know where to begin.

my husband and i are enjoying our third guilt-free weekend of our lives (both born-in, almost 30).

he has been out mentally for the last year and a half but patiently waited for me to come around.

Just listen to some of the Torah teachers/rabbis on line and every so often they will tell you how there are bomb shelters all over Isreal and how it's not safe in certain areas. And these guys would know for they live over there. I think it's disgusting that the cult hides themselves behind blind naive sisters and tells them it's ok to go over.

There are two over in our old hall that want to go and they are dumb as door knobs. One still lives with her parents(the father is not a joho and is against his daughter going) and the other was raised mexican mennonite turned joho and is clueless. She is seperated from her husband and the elders are ok with her going over to Isreal. Her husband is against her going but she is still going anyways. She's a beautiful girl and could have been a model. Lets hope if they go over that no one knows the one gal left her husband because he refused to be a good boy in the cult.

The guys will be all over these two single sisters. The other sister had just completed her nursing school and also is very stand out pretty. Her father is just livid about them going.

I hate what this cult has done to me, my family as well as others. I'm surprised no one has attempted to pay back to them what they have dealt out.

When ever the word local is involved with labels, you know they really mean the publishers pockets and not their own.

What came to mind as to what they will look like was what some of you posted here in the past. There were pictures of buildings where the front was all store front glass and you could walk in and sit down and read their literature. I think one was Mexico and the other one was in France. And they looked exactly like franchise drive thru buildings. All I can say is wow and very shocking. I'm saddened as to what they are doing to their blind followers,

No doubt there will be a numbers report on how many homeless have come into the cult! We all know how JW.Org loves to help the homeless. NOT!

The Judicial Committee is a Circle of Elders in a Room?

by Shanagirl in

has this ever happened to anyone who has been df'd here?

did you walk into a room with a circle of chairs for the whole body of elders?.

shana.

label licker

Yes!!! These jackass elders had nine chairs in a circle around a table so as soon as we walked through the doors into the back of the hall there it was. They tried to intimidate us but if I were intimidated, I wouldn't have been sipping on blueberry vodka from my thermos taking a few percocets in front of all three idiots. And while taping my meeting. It was a joke. They had put hard work into their showy display more so than the actual judicial meeting. These elders have no education and all live off their parents. It's all they know.

They had also tried to ask my husband to leave but I told them that wasn't happening so they said he could stay. They tried saying his presence would hinder the flow of the holy spirit. Just the shit they had tried to pull on me was disgraceful. Had my husband not been there with me telling them to grow up and move on to the next topic/accuser I would have agreed to some of it because I couldn't remember what they were accusing me of. Here, it was my husband that was the one that had said some of the things I was being falsly accused of which had nothing to do with my case. Yet, they used these kids testimonials as the accusations against me and instead it was my husband who was the one. My husband was df'd for walking away from the idiots at the end of our lane because of the yelling and name calling. All because we knew the elders were covering over a guy who committed adultry and admitted it, forged a legal document using his wife's signature, pocession of an illegal firearm, domestic abuse on his wife and threatening to kiill his father whom he had gotton the guns from. They didn't have a gun license or a special firearms permit to have these kinds of guns in their pocessions.

Two months later two of my accusers who were related to the guy that was getting away with all this wicked stuff became elders. All in the little town of Elmira, Ontario.

My dog just died.

by panhandlegirl in

i just buried my beloved poddle, little brother.

he died suddenly.

i know to most people that is not an important event.

label licker

Panhandle girl, so sorry for your loss. It's this very reason why I can't have anymore after this one leaves us. We have no children so he is our big goofball of a kid. It never gets easier. Love them while you have them and remember there are more waiting to go to good homes like yours. We got ours from the humane society and he ended up being the most gentle, loveable, needy sweetheart of a rotti you could ever meet. So glad he came into our lives. People told us to wait a while after we had to put our rotti down but we went out the next day and found this guy. Humane society's need help whether through donations, adoption or fostering. (((hugs)))

Your favourite dog breed ...?

by LoveUniHateExams in

in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

label licker

We love our Rotti's. Vanderhoven7, you nailed it with pussycat.LOL The one we have right now is from the humane society. He was ripped to shreds by a pitbull(over fifty stitches). We got him at two and he is now seven. If anyone comes to the shop and leaves their car door open, he will jump into their vehicle and want to go home with them. He's the most loveable pet out of all the rottweilers we have owned. Right now he is on his back getting a belly rub from hubby. We love love love rotti's. He loves playing with the chickens and would never hurt anything. Came across a nest of bunnies and wouldn't harm them. Biggest goofball in the world (hubby also owned a german shorthaired dog back in his hunting days)

Awarded a Badge of Honour - I'm an 'Apostate'

by Joe Grundy in

(i never was a jw).. just had a d2d (fs) visit.

older guy (said he's been in since 1958 and is an elder) with a younger guy (20 or so).

looking out at the street i obviously drew the short straw because further down the street was a pair of not unattractive younger women jws.

He lied about calling the police on pedophiles. Our elders told us last summer that they have no say over the matter. That if there were pedophiles in the congregation, all they could do is report it to the headquarters and it would be up to them to do whatever they deem fitting. And whatever the headquarters decide, they would have to go along with it. Liars, liars, liars!!!
