My short time WITH and AS a JW

by pincushion in

my name is 'pincushion', i reside in alberta.

in 1989 i started studying with the jw's.

i was really drawn to the 'truth' and after much trial and tribulation i was baptised in 1991 during a lethbridge assembly.

Great story, great result! From my experiences with these tossers, you find that they do give up after a while - actually very soon after you leave.

Enjoy your freedom!

5 Year Old Cousin Says Who Will Live & Die

by Scarlet in

my husband and i took my 5 year old cousin to see lilo and stitch the other day.

(her mother has been a regular pioneer for 18 years) mind you this child cannot read or even count to 100. she out of the blue says to me "do you know if you do not go to meetings you will die at armagedon?

" she goes on to say that if she salutes the flag or eats birtday cake she will die and she knows her friend at school will die because she slautes the flag.

Done the same myself......

I used to be at every school debating session preaching to all the other children - I wanted to be just like the picture of Jesus in the Yellow WTS book (the one where he is preaching as a 13 year old to the priests in Jerusalem and his parents come looking for him). I ws ridiculed and spat upon but I rejoiced because the BORG - anization told me in the WT that if you are "despised by people of the world for being a witness then Jehovah truly loves you."

SICK B###TARDS! Twisting children's minds is the worst thing you can do and they are the prime culprits. Leave kids to have fun and work the world out for themselves, don't give them baggage that they'll be carrying around for years after getting out of the nuthouse.

PS. Thank you again for setting up this site Simon. I'm releasing loads of pent-up shit out to people who really do understand and empathise.

Soooo not out! Talking to an ex-jw...

by detective in

well, i damn near put my foot in it this evening.

a friend of mine who is well aware of my continuing friendship with a jw (now allegedly ex-jw) told me i should meet an ex-jw that he knows.

i felt pretty excited about meeting an ex-jw face to face as i've longed for a chance to speak honestly with someone who knows the organization well and my friend isn't ready to really discuss the issues yet.

EXJWBrit

Oooooh, tell me more about playing with your own.......

Who are the 144,000?

by EXJWBrit in

i swallowed and believed such much shit when i was a jw that i have a few more questions to ask anyone who has the answers.

the 144,000 is a big gripe of mine........ right, i was told that the 144,000 found out they were one of the anointed when they had a flash of "revelation" at some point and truly believed it or they had known since they were a child.

what a load of shit!

EXJWBrit

2000 left? Who's keeping accounts? The book-keepers from ENRON?

Hey, detective, did this girl have nice pert breasts? If so then at least the evening wasn't wasted, you had something entertaining to distract you. If not, bad luck mate.

Not so angry but anoyed that this elitist band of pretenders was held in awe by the rest of us common muck. Who vetted them? What if they were attention seekers? Where were the checks? What made them so special? Random visits on a whim by the Almighty? It just stank a bit.

Don't worry Minimus, I don't have a grip with them because of some bad experience in the past, it is just one of those JW legends I swallowed hook, line and sinker.

Also, if you stand up one day and say - excuse me, I'm a member of the 144,000. does this mean you are automatically in the GB or can go to Bethel or one of those other elitist clubs? How come most of the anointed seem to be Americans? I find it amusing that most UFO sightings AND claims of being anointed occur in the USA! Does Jehovah like Americans more than Bangladeshis or Algerians. Are they more human? Or better Christians.......... or is JEHOVAH A RACIST?!!!!!!!

I felt like a piece of shit so much when I was a JW (treatment at school, peer pressure from stuck-up elder's kids etc) that I want to dig up some snobby elitist shit on those muthas. Help me! I will then email your experiences or proof onto other JWs who are still in blinkered zombie-land and actually trust their power-hungry elders.

Dating and JWs

by Delite2k in

i suggested casual dating to my "friend" instead of just breaking up and thats it, he says he dosen't do that.

i don't want things to change between us.

the kissing, hugging, sex... i said to him that we did those things before we were serious.

EXJWBrit

Look, get rid of the hang-ups.Get naked, rip each others' clothes off,

tie each other up and shag yourselves senseless - missionary, her on top,

doggy-style, spoons, with handcuffs, loads of oral sex.........

use your imagination! FOR F##K's SAKE, LIFE IS SHORT ENOUGH!

Make it sweet by boffing everyone you can get your hands on and save

the soppy, romantic crap for when you are 50! Honestly.....

Story: Sound Dept. (at Assembly)

by Jim_TX in

when i was a jw - many moons ago, i hung around the 'sound department' at assemblies.. they finally put me to work - and let me do things like string wire for speakers, install speakers, etc.. i eventually learned how to adjust the amplifiers for proper volume, too.. good experience and training, that i don't use to this day.. anyway - i also was allowed to adjust the microphones for the 'speaker' who would be giving the next talk.. this usually involved following the feller out to the podium, and raising, or lowering the microphone to the proper height fer picking up the words from the fellers' mouth.. some required very little adjustment, whilst others required major raising - or lowering.. this one time, i recall going out there, and they had used a new microphone stand - one that had a ring, or collar arrangement that you just squeezed, or rotated and lifted, to move the microphone up or down, as opposed to the older type that required one to unscrew a locking collar, and then raise or lower the microphone.. i had not tested this previously - and only seen others work it, but it looked easy enough.. so, i follow this 'big-wig' out there, stand there, grab the upper section of the microphone stand with one hand, and then with the other i am attempting to <grunt> <grunt> get it... to ... release.. it wouldn't budge!!!

i was there, for what seemed like an eternity, trying to work this thing, then finally reached up and adjusted the horizontal arm - in a vain attempt to adjust the mic (it also refused to cooperate, and i think i only adjusted the microphone a total of 1/8").. the 'big-wig' speaker musta noticed my total and complete embarrassment (i usually turned beet-red in the face), and nodded that it was adjusted properly - so he could git on with his part.. i skeedadled off that stage - and made a mental note to figure out how to adjust that new type of microphone stand - later..

sheesh!!!

EXJWBrit

But the sound dept cock-ups weren't half as funny as the old folks who had bowel problems and needed to release their inner tension.

Did you have those terrible one-piece plastic seats too? If you let rip on one of those babies then the whole KH shook. We had one old sister fart really loudly just when the circuit overseer was visiting and giving a very important talk. He paused for effect and she chose to parp one out! The funniest thing was seeing the giggles grip the whole congregation and the elders staring at everyone nastily. Lighten up you wankers!!!!

My mommy doesn't want me. . I need a hug

by StinkyPantz in

i sent my mom a letter not too long ago telling her that i wanted my family back.

well, i got a very unexpected response.

she basically said "no".

EXJWBrit

Blood is thicker than water and hopefully she'll come round at some point - I mean look at the thousands of people who visit this site who did. There's always hope and I think some self-righteous, interfering elder got to her before you spoke to her. Try again a few weeks down the line......
