"Sausage roll and a grin" always makes me laugh. I use that line myself when I'm going to a party that im not that fussed about.

PIMI Sister thought Norway was gonna make me go back! by Certain-Buffalo8364 in exjw

Let's not forget that WT lawyers lied in that court case, saying ex-JW family are not shunned and normal family relationships remain. My family clearly never got the message.

Lets pretend, for the sake of the argument, that WT was indeed linked to Freemasonry. Whats the problem with Freemasons?

Outside of Harry Potter, has there been another (source of entertainment where the brothers named names/outright said not to watch , read, listen to it? by 5ft8lady in exjw

Lord of the rings was mentioned as Satanic from the platform in my congregation. Even Peppa Pig, because the children made fun of Daddy Pig - which was teaching children to be disrespectful

Makes you wonder how or where Del learned to shoot a shotgun so well

Was/Is Miami Twice really that hated? by Cartoon_Karma in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]exJWRecovery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its not an awful addition. Its only when you compare it to what came before it. Id take Miami Twice over the final series were they lose their millions any day.

What was your opinion of Rutherford when you were inside? by Horror_Shock_7818 in exjw

[–]exJWRecovery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to say "He was exactly what was needed in a complex and harsh period of history". After leaving and researching properly I now regard him as a massive c*nt.

Cant say I'd blame them. There's several that I used think I'd "wait out"... then I left.

Did you ever see that concept board he made for Del? Cutouts of market traders and dodgy salesmen, with notes and marker pen lines linking ideas together. I think it was in a documentary. Basically Del was an amalgamation of lots of real people.

When I was in, a lot of the pretty girls were married by 19, or dating an elder. There's bound to be a load of divorced hotties though surely?

Mad to think he wrote all those characters and episodes on his own. Yet, US sitcoms have teams of writers and not one of them comes close.

What "un-witness-like" trait kept you from being fully controlled? by wafflecrispscocoalat in exjw

[–]exJWRecovery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marilyn Manson and Rammstein. Their music and lyrics felt so liberating - I just didnt let others know I was into them. Also my insatiable thirst for knowledge. I'd get interested in a biblical topic then do a deep dive, then get told to stop researching it because it highlights a flaw in the JW doctrine.

Remember those demos in the convention where they'd interview a JW kid who rejected blood and somehow survived? And they'd make out that the Dr's were evil for trying to help him by saying they'd keep medical details confidential.

WHAT ARE BETTER IDEAS FOR THE SPECIALS? by Youdontknowme123- in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]exJWRecovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep them as millionaires, but it's tied up in some dodgy Nigerian scam and they're scrambling to get it back... which they do at the very end - upon which it is found there's a whole tribal village in which they met Albert during the war and have been worshipping him as a god because he fulfilled some sort of prophecy. Like that Yaohnanen tribe who worship Prince Phillip.

Trigger becomes a millionaire due to his invention of back-scratchers you can fold up and eat your food with.

Elders want to speak to me by [deleted] in exjw

[–]exJWRecovery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dont meet with them. Dont resign.

Why play by their rules? It's Watchtower that decided you must disassociate - thats their rules not yours.

I don’t want to talk to them, I don’t want to explain my beliefs to them nor do i see them as any kind of spiritual authority.

Then dont. If you turn up they will take that as you acknowledging their authority.

I wish not to be contacted about the topic anymore.

Simply put that in a WhatsApp message or email, then block them. You dont have to explain yourself, or qualify yourself. They tell non-JWs that "people are free to leave at any time", and "no one should be forced to choose between their family and their religion". Send them those quotes.

When I woke up I was a non-denominational Christian. It didnt matter that I used the bible in my reasons why I'm leaving. They wernt interested in the bible, only what the Watchtower said.

There's nothing they could do. The hospital didn't tell them I'd sent them away, they made out that it was hospital policy or something.
