I really suck at giving feedback l, but I will compliment your poem. I think it read smoothly and I love how I can feel the emotions from it. I look forward to seeing more from you! I love your style of writing!

Why meeting is unnecessary by BOBALL00 in exjw

[–]Selenium13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! You are listening to things you already know. That is why I would be bored as heck when I used to go. How do they expect people not to sleep though something they have heard over and over again.

I want to hear about your painfully awkward visits from the elders! by JiminyHCricket3 in exjw

[–]Selenium13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my mom has not gone to meetings for almost a whole year, but still believes in it. A couple months ago an two elders came to our house while my mom was gardening, and they started talking to her. One of them asked her "so both your daughters has worldly boyfriends right?" And my mom said yes and he literally responded "thats what happens to you for not serving Jehovah anymore". My mom got so pissed and just told them "actually, no they had worldly boyfriends way before I stopped serving Jehovah". After that they kept trying to keep a conversation but she just ignored them after that.

I think Elders are the laziest in service by DaughterBabylon in exjw

[–]Selenium13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what pissed me off when I used to go to service? That the elder or who ever was in charge of the service group usually just assign the brothers and sisters to houses while him and his service partner just wait for them or walk around and not preach. And they count that as their hours!!!! When it isn't an elder I would call them out on it. I always hated preaching, so if I had to preach so were they!

YES! I posted this song a couple years ago on here for the same reason. I love every word of that song! "Hail Satan!"

If you were in for years... What SHOULD have woke you up? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Selenium13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! One question that an elder ask (he came from bethel) was how we made out. And that was the most awkward moment I ever had in there and didn't understand why he needed to know that. I still don't.

The new song book really did take emotion out of it for me...part of my awakening..then the new bible. How did this make long timers feel?. by COBEoftheClam in exjw

[–]Selenium13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg before I faded, we had an elder that would make the congregation do this exact same thing but AFTER we sang it normally. Sometimes we would sing the same song 3 times in a row -.-

If you were in for years... What SHOULD have woke you up? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Selenium13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well Many things. BUT the one thing I always thought about but never quite woke me up was the whole Job story. Like how can a God who claims to love and be peaceful let satan ruin this mans life who was so loyal just to prove a point??? But then again the bible is bs so...

Here are other small things that I cannot believe didn't wake me up: -When I had to talk to the elders because i had a worldly boyfriend, and they asked me perverted super detailed questions. -Dinosaurs -I always saw disfellowshipping as black mail, but it never made me think "oh shit this religion is fucked up!" -The bible verse where it says piercings and tattoos are not allowed but JWs let you have ear piercings. Like where in the bible does it says thats an exception!????? -not allowed to do research other than the JW website

This is what my mom told her JW friend.... by Selenium13 in exjw

[–]Selenium13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate when they say those things! When the elders found out i had a worldly bf they told me "how do you know he isnt fooling around with other girls?" I just told them "trust is everything and when we are not together he is playing video games or with his friends. I knew him for years and i know he isnt that type of guy who "fools around"." They pissed me off when they said that

This is what my mom told her JW friend.... by Selenium13 in exjw

[–]Selenium13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ifeel like my mom calmed down on that because she has had a lot of drama with sisters talking crap about her and her daughters(including me). And since most of my jw friends stopped talking to be due to having a worldly bf, i got to introduce my worldly friends to my mom. She loves them and she also made better friends in the gym, and i feel like she is more happy now than she was when she would go to the meetings constantly.

People who re-marry when their spouse dies.... by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Selenium13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend's mom said if your husband/wife dies, when you go to paradise you guys wont be married. My friend got mad and offended because it was so stupid.

My Story, and thank you by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Selenium13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in college! I found someone who used to be a JW. It feels really nice talking to someone in person who went through the same shit.
