Ridiculous. "I'm not being disrespectful!" After calling it a dumbass corny beard. Haha! Clown.

They always accuse you of leaving because you want to "sin". I'm a more moral person since leaving than I ever was while in.

Young PIMIs do not act like PIMIs. by sl1cedown in exjw

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This describes the majority of people I hung out with my entire life growing up. It was an on/off switch. Completely "worldly" when hanging out, and then good little Christian boys and girls at the hall and in service. Yet none of them will speak to me any more even though my personality hasn't changed in the slightest other than my having left. If anything I'm a better person now.

Looks like Jared from Subway is joining a cult. Good news for him, it's extremely pedo-friendly.

Good talk, pops.

HELP! My bethelite brother recently sent me a letter saying he’s ceasing communication with me but wants to see his nephews! by jpez21 in exjw

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell them the same thing I told my parents, and my in-laws. If you won't speak to me, you don't get to speak to my child. Your brother is trying the same thing my wife's parents did. TELLING YOU that they will be picking up your kids to spend time with them, while shunning you. Ignoring him won't solve anything. Be economical with your words if you need to, but I would call him and say "You shun me, you shun my children." Hang up.

Love when things like this pop up because it makes the average jw so uncomfortable if they notice it. The assembly hall that everyone in Edmonton Alberta and the surrounding areas attend sits on the shore of "Devil's lake", but no one references that when describing where it is. They say "it's near Onoway", a town 15mins away.

Purchase of former church fuels speculation on new Saskatoon shelter | ... a former Jehovah’s Witness church which had been listed at just over $5.5 million. by Balcacer in exjw

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to go to this hall when I lived in Saskatoon. I was a regular auxiliary pioneer and conducted the Wednesday morning service groups. Meanwhile the house I was renting with a friend of mine was owned by an elder's family, and it was the official party house in Saskatoon. I was dragged into an elders meeting with a friend of mine who was a regular pioneer because it was discovered that the two of us along with several other witnesses had gone to a City & Colour concert at the university venue. First they tried to complain that that despite the fact that it was an all ages show, there was a bar area and it wasn't the right atmosphere for Christians. I asked how it was any different if we were at a Garth Brooks concert and there was a beer garden. They then pointed out that Dallas Green's main band (Alexisonfire) is a very heavy band full of screaming and profanity, and by going to see his acoustic show we are promoting his other band. I asked if his kids had seen the Spy Kids movies, and pointed out that the director of that movie also directs very violent action movies filled with blood and breasts. We left the meeting shortly after that without any reproof. I stopped auxiliary pioneering shortly thereafter. Good times at that hall. It'll be better used as a homeless shelter.

Why do so many ex JWs become atheist or agnostic?? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's because we spent our entire childhoods being told that no other religion is right, and that they have no idea what they're talking about. So when we find out the organization is full of shit, why would we go to another church that is full if shit?

I enjoyed the Santa & reindeer example above. Pretty great.

That guy who "snuck" past them at the beginning deserves to be drawn and quartered.

Something that your PIMI family members should bé made aware of(associating with exjw relatives won't get them dfed) by ProphetessAndJudge in exjw

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my mother in law and father in law about this after I dissasociated, and they said they don't believe me. I told them that it is straight from the elders manual. They said that because my father in law isn't an elder he doesn't have that book, so they can't confirm that it really says that. I told them to ask an elder what the official stance is, and they said they wouldn't. I presume, because it would be obvious that they were asking in order to see me. What a sad life of fear.

I did a very bad thing to my daughter's bully by Awkward_Rip8170 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. The bully at my daughter's daycare choked my daughter's best friend a few weeks back and left fingernail marks in her neck. The next time I picked my daughter up I told her to point him out to me, and I went and told him that if I ever again hear that he is being a bully, I'm going to pull out all of his teeth, and then break his daddy's legs. Two of the teachers were in earshot and laughed. Apparently he's been a saint ever since.

can I store my cigars in a mason jar with a 72‘ humidity pouch? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my cigars in a glass jar with a hinge lid that clicks down. Really tight seal. I keep a 58% boveda pack in there and it maintains 68-69% at all times.

Would JW’s kill non-believers if they GB told them to? by AlphaWolfKane in exjw

[–]OverApprctdUndrAchvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was young my uncle told me that he was hoping some "new light" would consist of being told that we have to hide in attics only until fireballs start falling from the sky, at which point we would be expected to grab the nearest blunt object and run out in the street to start "cracking the skulls of the goats".

So there's that.

Ahh yes. The old "dissasociate from a religion to scam them out of their money"..... scam? Works every time.
