i think it's been around 7 years for me.
and i never ever missed going or being with the "friends"..
Last time in FS was November 1988. Very infrequently attended meetings for probably another twelve months until telling the elders to shove their 'truth' up their arses sometime in the early 90's (exact date is still being investigated).
The very thought of going to a meeting chills me to the bones and turns my stomach. As has been stated previously - I would need to be either dead or in a coma to get me into one of those 'houses of depression'.
Cheeses. Who wishes the jws no good at all. Ever.
do you hate them?
do you feel bad for them?
do you not give a crap about them anymore??
Bad. Really bad. And without any chance of ever improving (from their perspective).
Cheeses. Who really considers all matters jw and wts related to be more than worthless.
i fail to see why people such as alice in wonderland, bane and others, are regularly singled out as tolls.
demands are repeatedly made that they are shunned and thrown off the forum; while people like perry, who rant on with pages of controversial drivel, are considered acceptable?.
i personaly don't view any of them as trolls, just people who feel a need to stand up for what they believe.
Without having read any of the preceding posts, my immediate thought when reading the title was - "Why would anyone openly admit to stand up for and defend anything about jws, and thus identifying oneself as a complete and utter fool irrespective of when or where it may occur".
Cheeses. Sometimes confused, but seldom wrong.
mine's was, if your job interfere with the meetings you have to decide who you will choose,.
serving jehovah or serving man, if anyone knew my needs it most definitely was jehovah.
and he knew i needed my job to eat.
"always rely on jehovah"
Covers a broad spectrum of advice. But a crock of shit nonetheless.
Cheeses. All of us are atheists about most gods. Some of us just go one god further.
yeah so in genesis we read how people began building a tower which would reach up to jehovah in heaven....must have been damn tall....rather then just stop them, god changes everyones language.....one guys speakin french.....another speakin russian and so on!
can't finish the tower now can they!!
this is not very scientific......does anyone believe this is how languages got started???
debator. Are you the same debator from Masseschusetts? As that would make you the outright Mass.debator.
Cheeses. In a frivolous frame of mind.

I'll have baptism by fire any day of the week. Have tried the water and holy spit - just didn't do anything to move me. But fire? Oh boy! Did it ever light up the old inner self.
Cheeses.
this video is in german, but you can see a young elder demonstrate how these tempest devices will be deployed to catch any and all online apostate communications which may take place.. the wtbs ss in germany have developed a more compact version with an incredible rf gain which can be deployed in the spines of any publication.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvoaievgrfw.
have they no shame?!!!
fortunately, you've been informed.. the solution is to use one of these faraday cages to engage in online subversive communications.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm_j9al13wg.
I'd believe this crock of shit if not for the fact no-one depicted in the images is wearing a foil helmet.
Cheeses. Master of his own destiny.
as the conventions started today in my home state, i can't help but think of the hundreds of jw young people that i know who are still single, esp those over 25. it's really sad that for so many this is their only chance of finding somebody to date.
some that i know have even crossed over into their 30's, and they go year after year, always talking about the possibility of meeting someone special.. the organization literally controls their minds, and dating and marriage to a non-jw is out of the question.
it's so sad that so many have missed out on their life's dreams of having a family and companionship.
mentallyfree31,
Sad it may well be, but a pathetic situation, is perhaps a more apt description. Unfortunately, I knew of many in similar circumstances. No sympathy though - they reaped what they deserved.
cheeses.
yes, posters like our new friend bane actually bring some comic relief to the board, although we must sympathise with the sorry village somewhere that is making do without it's resident idiot.
another crusading white knight jw emboldened with the mission of enlightening a bunch of evil apostates.
good luck i say!.

cheeeses. Not to be mistaken for the fanatasy bible character.
"i know it took a long time, but i finally made the truth my own.".

As a chronic meeting misser in my last days (see, I really was living in the 'last days') of the cult, I do not recall anyone ever asking me that question, and, as there is absolutely no chance of ever being asked that question in the future, the best I can only do is surmise what my response would be, and, all I can up with, based on my experience with those idiots is -
"Do you really care? Well, I don't, and it's none of your business - so just piss off!"
Cheeses. The loving one - not to be confused with that other bastard.
