  The Young Witness Exodus Continues

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just found out that , on my wife's side of the family, the last witness kid has given up!.

  he was the very last one in that half of our extended witness family.

  ten years ago, i never would have.

  Aahhh, a topic that gives me joy in a particularly 'wicked' way.

  There are no witnesses on my side of the family. My wife's mother and father had six children, only my wife and her sister were ever baptised. Both no longer in the 'truth'. The other four children have nothing to do with it. My wife's siblings presently have twelve (including our two) children (grandchildren to my wife's parents). Not an ounce of interest between the lot of them. There are also three great grand children who are too young at the moment.

  One reason I derive great joy from this information is because my wife's father is an elder and a diehard jw - raised in the org, knows no other life. Devoted all of his life to the 'truth' and, oh shit, none of the family have taken to it. Oh boy, do I love that!

  The other reason I find it enjoyable is the fact that all of his family live in fairly close proximity, and yet he will never have the satisfaction of seeing them all assembled at the one time, as the majority cannot stand a bar of him. But that is another story.

  cheeses. oh you gotta love the way the family is honoured by the jws.

  It is obvious that jehovahs witnesses are not proud of their religion.

  one could rightly expect, considering the urgency of the times, and the need 'to preach the good news of the kingdomtm' before the end arrives, that jws would be doing all they could to encourage 'like-heartedtm' ones along to their place of worship/study/meeting (or whatever they wish to call their kingdom hallstm).

  instead, from my observations, they are doing their best to make the halls as uninviting as possible.. the case in point.

  several days ago i drove past the front entrance to the fairly new kingdom hall in ballina where i spent my formative years in 'the truthtm'.

  Will,

  Either way, it doesn't present a good image for a place of 'true worshipTM'. A place, you would expect, the brothers would be proud and pleased to proclaim as 'the centre of true worshipTM' in this locality. Instead, no identification.

Instead, from my observations, they are doing their best to make the halls as uninviting as possible.

  The case in point. Several days ago I drove past the front entrance to the fairly new kingdom hall in Ballina where I spent my formative years in 'the truthTM'. The congregation that is, as the hall then was the one that had been used before the building of a newer one.

  The neat new hall is on a large expanse of well maintained land with exposure to the main east coast north/south highway (The Pacific), but with the entrance off a small arterial road in an old industrial estate, fronting a large creek. The property is enclosed with a chain-mesh fence topped with barbed wire and with a steel barred gate. There are no means from the highway, when passing, to be able to identify that this building is a kingdom hall. No letterbox.

  And it doesn't improve when you go to the entrance. No welcome sign. No sign to state that this is a 'kingdom hall of jehovahs witnessesTM'. Just a small sign that says -

  Ballina congregation

  Meeting times

  public talk etc, etc,

  Perhaps the dear brothers believe that the jws are so well known that the average joe blow will know to associate public talk, watchtower, theocratic ministry school, service meeting, book study with these widely self acknowledged evangelists.

  It would make you feel as about as welcome as a pork chop in a synagogue.

  Ugly People

  by Fe2O3Girl in

  do ugly people have a right to normal lives - relationships, marriage, families?.

  about half of us must be below "average" attractiveness.

  maybe xjws are on average more gorgeous than the general population.. what can you tell about a person by their facial beauty or lack of it?

  Both Charlie and Camelia would both qualify for the qauint Aussie description for being as ugly as a hatful of arseholes. All disrespect intended.

  Maybe this is the time for this joke -

  Prince Charles was reversing his car out of Buckingham Palace when he accidentally ran over one of the Queen's corgi dogs and killed it. Charles, very distressed, got out of the car and called out "Oh, god please help me!" A voice spoke out from heaven and said "For all of your former good deeds I shall grant you one wish". Charles replied, "Please bring my mother's favourite dog back to life." God spoke again and said "I realise you may believe I am all powerful, but to bring the dog back to life would be completely impossible." Charles then said, "If that is the case, could you please make Camilla beautiful?" There was quite a lengthy pause, and then god spoke again "Could we have another look at that request about the dog?"

  Hippi,

  I'll have to pass on the repost as the image is no longer on site. You may remember it, entitled "jesus loves you'' but then it states as the bottom of the image "I think you're a *#&+"

  I'm glad I was able to print a copy off ages ago and now hang it in my workshop. It sure creates some interest.

  Hippi,

  Got your pm - yeah, I'm still hanging out here. It's good cheap entertainment, and besides, as cheeses said "by christ, where else would we go to lord?"

  So, are you still living in Briz Vegas?

  I've been thinking of reposting one of your early posts, one which has a very endearing christian message. Just for those who may not know you.

  Good to see you back, and I will give you a call.

  HawkOwl,

  Am I to assume that when you say the Rainbow region of N.S.W. you are referring to the area in the vicinity of Lismore, northern N.S.W.?

  If so, then that is near my old jw stamping ground and where I still live.

  You say your site is a bit cheesy? Well, my ID doesn't identify with the foodstuff primarily, but, you may really need some of cheeses' influence on your site. I may drop by for a chat. I may be totally religiously irreverant and vehemently opposed to the jws, but I'm still a good old soul, fun to be around, and you never know you may be able to convince me of the wrongness of my ways and persuade me to return me to the fold, but, then again, I might also be able to sprout wings and fly.

  cheeses. everyone needs a lit bit in their life.

  The Only way to the Father.

  2. beliefs

  by reading all the vulgar posts in this forum,it is evident to me that most of the members of this board are not christian.that is why blabbermouth is here.repent ye,for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,here is what you do.get on your knees and say a prayer similar to this,"lord jesus,i know i am a sinner,and invite you into my heart as saviour and lord.thank you,jesus-amen"after saying this prayer,use the king james bible alone,and let nobody stir you wrong.the only way to god is jesus christ(john 14:6)and just because some false teacher told you that there isn't a hell,don't be fooled.do you think that the rich man believed in hell?

  (luke 16:19-31)may god richly bless your soul-blabbermouth(kayla)

  Oh, dear blabbermouth,

  It is so encouraging to find someone who has come to this board with a firm purpose in mind.

  I do admit that I am non-christian, and, at times, I can be vulgar, but, I would not call myself a vulgar non-christain. That would be just unfair.

  I tried the down on my knees business but by the time I found a comfortable position all I could think was "Why in the christ am I down here if I'm not scrubbing the floor?"

  And, to return the kind thought - May god richly bless you rSoul

  hi there i'm new here, my name is fiona i am not yet a jw and have not started to study yet.

  i am very interested in doing so but since i am still new to all this i thought i should attend some meetings first.

  i am going to my first one today at the kelvin hall in glasgow, i am quite nervous as i do not know what to expect but also excited at the same time since it could be the beginning of a huge change in my life.

  Bug,

  Here's hoping you changed your mind about going to a dub meeting after visiting this site, for as you said "it could be the beginning of a huge change in my life". Understatement.

  Virtually anything that life has to offer you will be more rewarding (and less damaging) than becoming entangled with the jws. Look at it as though god directed you to this site. Well, at least cheeses found you.

  Good luck, and read carefully the experiences of those on this site who devoted many years of their life to the jw religion. It is eye opening.
