What TV shows couldn't you watch as a JW Kid?
by WTLies inwe had a whole list of shows we were not allowed to watch including 'speed racer', you'll never guess why.
it was beacuse in the theme song it says "he's a demon on wheels" but then my mother was a jw fanatic lol.

Why and I still a Newbie?
by WTLies ini've been a member of this forum for about 4 years now.
there are members who have been here less time than me who are now "jedi masters" and "senior members" yet i'm still a newbie.
is it because i only have 61 posts?

Should I be doing more?
by WTLies inmy story is posted in the "personal experiences" section of this discussion board and someone responded with and interesting observation.
he said that it's great that i'm now out but that i have 'dues to pay' to those whom i have disfellowshipped and talked out of going to college while serving as an elder.
while serving as an elder i did share in disfellowshipping several members of the congregation, many of whom are still out there being shunned by family and friends.

Are there disadvantages to knowing the 'truth' is a lie?
by WTLies inthere was a character in the matrix who, after being released from the matrix, got tired of the real world and wanted to have his memory erased and his body put back in the factory so as to live out his days in a dream world.
have any of you ever wished you didn't know what you now know about the wt, or wish you could go back to the life where you had a sure hope and belief as to what the future would bring without your current knowledge about the 'truth'?
being 'unplugged' does have it's disadvantages.

How to avoid getting DF'd
by WTLies inas an elder and judge at a judical committee hearing, their main job is supposed to be determining if the person is repentant, not guilty or innocent.
in the jw judicial system the guilt is almost always established prior to the hearing.
they either have two people that saw you commit the sin, or a confession.

Is the bible God's Word?
by WTLies inthe watchtower once believed that if a woman did not scream while being raped, then she was guilty of fornication.
she was 'in on' her own rape, thus she too is just as guilty as her rapist.
i don't think there is a person in this forum today, who does not find this reasoning repugnant and archaic.

Boss comes to aid of shunned worker
by WTLies inon my wife's job, she is one of about 10 jw's employed there.
recently one of them found out the assistant manager (who never told anyone she was ever a jw) was raised a jw and has been disfellowshipped for the last 10 years.
needless to say this news spread quickly amongst the jw's there, and of course they all started shunning this person.

Disfellowshipping Procedure Changes
by WTLies inhas there been any changes as of late in the way the judical committe operates?
i was just in email with a dub that assured me that the elders no longer make decision to disfellowship but instead it's made at the society.
the elders only recommend.
