Surreal experience last night.
by objectivetruth inrecently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".
her response went something like this, " we are all out!
everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..

by truth_b_known ini just spent 30 minutes writing this story and lost it all before i hit submit.
i'll try to be brief.. last night a former co-worker of my wife's called saying he was on his way to the house to drop off a job he would like her to do.
we haven't seen him in over 8 years.

It's so sad, I think many jws would run from the org if they actually knew the truth about the truth, because most jws are really decent, good-hearted people. Really like how you handled your conversation, let's all hope that he allows his heart and mind to be opened to the deception and the real truth.

$30 million for a Shang Dynasty bronze casting
by fulltimestudent inin 1922 some farmers in taoyuan county, hunan province, china, dug up a beautiful cast bronze vessel with a lid.
the farmer's son took the lid to school to ask his teacher what it was.
the teacher saw that it was something wonderful and raked up 800 silver dollars to buy it.

A thought about the convention: Anticipate Future Blessings...
by wisdomfrombelow inone of the parts had a skit with 3 or 4 young brothers playing a game of "what i will look forward to in the new system".
one wanted a house by the beach.
one wanted a house in the forest.

Wisdom, you are so correct. It IS weird that the gb/wts teaches people to WAIT on materialism and WAIT on normal sexual relations...and then say it's okay later, but only when we tell you it's okay.
Cheezuswhiz. They are some kind of crazy.

NLP, Subliminal Messages and the WT Writing Department
by 00DAD ina few years ago i became interested in the subject of neuro-linguistic programming (nlp).
while the core concepts of nlp have been largely discredited as new-age pseudo-science, there is no doubt that there is at least some validity to the idea.
words and images remain the key way we communicate.

I don't think it would make much difference as I don't socialize with any jdubs anyway. I used to be "scared" of it but the more I've come to realize that it's NOT REAL IN JW LAND, the less I care.
My important family that is still in will continue to associate with me. My family that is out will most likely remain out, and continue to associate with me. My other jw "family" that I never see anyway will probably shun me, but then....I won't notice.
So, in summation...nope. It's no more important than losing a game of Twister, and I think Twister might hurt more.

Interesting experience at work re: convention invite
by sd-7 inso, a guy i know and would sometimes chat with briefly at work came to me recently.
he said he'd been invited by his neighbor to attend the upcoming jw convention.
apparently, he had heard that i used to be a jw and wanted to get my thoughts about whether he should go.

Good news indeed! Hopefully your inquisitive co-worker will share the info with others and explain to them how the jws are in a cult run by the gb.
Limiting their growth has tons of potential, for sure.
Happy day!

Central Counsel, I believe. The google translation of the opening paragraph uses the term "main board" in parentheses behind the gb term.

And if they tattoo it on their butt, where it belongs, will the eldubs have to see it to approve it?
