  I Haven't Missed a Meeting in Years!

  2. experiences

  i recently ran into a jw i knew from a few years back.you know how it goes, a few pleasantries that always seem much more awkward than they really should (not for me, mind you--for him).and then the question, "so what congregation are you attending?

  are you able to make the meetings?

  "i'm thinking: do you always start conversations this way?so anyways, knowing full well the jw-mindset, i decided to have a bit of fun.furrowing my brow, i said, "that's an odd question!

  just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".

  she has attempted suicide a few days ago.

  luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

  Hope you've been able to have a look at my PM

  A Question for Underground Apostates, How Many Are There?

  by Village Idiot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.

  soon i came to the realization that there were many more.

  we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.

  I'm visiting family (In another country) right now and I have to pretend to be in. However, I obviously cannot compete with their uberdub-ism without gagging. So I just tag along to the meetings, saunter into FS and tune out during the family study... don't ask how!

  I did however rock the boat with mum a couple of nights ago. I mentioned certain things about the fact that the cong may protect pedophiles, that we don't know really where all the money we put in the contribution box goes, and that this could be a man directed organization. She started to freak out!! And I'm not saying freaking out in a way that she's shocked at my insinuations and going to research them, but shocked those things could come out of my mouth.

  She already knows I'm not as "zealous" as I used to be and with zero commenting at the meetings she and dad suspect there's something up with me. However, the other night I realized that anything I say to her at this moment is not going to make her see light. She will only hurt that I might be turning away from the "Truth" and talk WT to me endlessly till I turn back ot being the old uber-JW that I was.So what IS the point in hurting a family u see for a couple of weeks twice a year when all they do is worry about you year round?

  I've decided to keep my mouth shut and pretend for hte rest of the time I'm here.

  long time lurker here.

  i don't want hate in our hearts - jw are wrong oh so wrong - and i want to blame this religion for making me cold and distant to the world.

  but i believe everything is meant to be, we all have purpose in this world.

  Welcome Abigail :D

  My ex best friend in the cong shares the same name and my heart did an instant lurch when I saw your post headline. Well, you're not her but you're still another one who's not held captive to a concept by man. A hearty welcome, and looking forward to hearing more from you xx

  JW cart lives in nice house

  just finished watching the jwbroadcast for february.

  on the part of the jwcart, i couldn't help but notice that the cart came out from a nice expensive home.

  certainly not a place a window washer would be living in.

  Within one minute JW with trolley directs me to JW.org

  by steve2 in

  2. experiences

  i live in relatively small seaside community (regional population around 45,000).

  in my ten years here, i've had witnesses call on me perhaps twice (not special visits but during door-to-door).

  whereas they once canvassed door-to-door much more frequently - and in larger size service groups - there is quite a decline in their door-knocking - at least in this region.. with the advent of the "trolley" work, their visibility has increased - but i'd estimate only marginally.

  Hey steve2

  For a religion that's been preaching doom forever, this trolley business is definitely not making sense. But then does anything?

  just as u said the people push carting this nonsense are usually genuinely nice. Such a shame they're doing this at the whim and fancy of the eight (or is it 12 now?) men sitting on their butts and making home videos. (For my mum to sit and aww over 😞😒
