    So much stupidity, so little time....

    I had my "priviledges" taken away because I let my 2 kids play school sports (Volleyball and Cross-Country running, you know the real BAD ones!) so they gave my so-called privileges to a mentally handicapped guy in the congregation!

    So then when I write Brooklyn about the matter I get a 2 page letter back saying they really don't like school sports, but there's no scriptural reason why I couldn't have my priviledges in the congregation. So when the elders came over to our house asking if I was ready to take my kids off the team and have my priviledges back, I showed them the letter......The damn elders refused to read it! I told them, "It's not from Sports Illustrated you know, this is from The Faithful & Discreet Slave!"

    And THAT was the beginning of my questioning. Other things followed, but the school sports thing showed me just how stupid that religion can be.....

    Oh and the beard thing! A few years ago I grew a beard and had my priviledges removed for that too! And who did they give my assignments to? The only JW guy in the central valley with a beard! He had it for medical reasons.....GYMBB

    Snakes,

    You asked me howI knew the elders are spy machines. Well when I moved to Ontario beside my mom and dad I had a new pick up truck. Very few people hadn't seen it yet, so my father asks me if he can use the truck for some elder work, He said people in the Hall know my car but not yours. So anyway I was really quite reluctant. I for one thought that is low down and rotten. He said he wanted to see if one of the brothers in the KH was committing any wrong doing. I said yea I guess so . I heard later on that although he wasn't spotted, Ones in the congregation says my father likes to spy on people, on brother and his wife told me that they had seen my father laying low in a deep ditch out side some ones property.

    And I told you he spied on my alot. It was pathetic. I can't imagine someone stooping that low to catch someone of guard. One day in the later part of the the day, I went to a resturant which also has a sit down bar. When I was sitting down with my friends that were not witnesses I asked them if they would excuse me for a few minutes alone as my father was walking into the resturant. When you enter the resturant the lounge is right in front of you, I watched my father from t he corner of my good eye and saw him go by me and he pretended to be looking all over the resturant for this brother. As he approached the exit he turned to me and I was looking at him square in the face and he said oh, have you seen brother so and so hear. I said no not at all. Then he smirked and walked out. I quickly ran over to the table where these freinds of mine were. I explained as you guys now I am a JW and that was my father spying on me that is why I moved because all he needed was to see me sitting with someone who were not witnessses and I would be up at the JC for having association with worldly people. I said I can go indepth further later on. They were appauled some father would be spying on his adult children. I told them, you have no idea what kind of father I have. So the three of us watched my father get into his car and it was a fair distance from the resturant, I figure he saw my car and thought gee I am going to catch that kid drunk one of these days. Well it never happened. AS my father pulled out of the parking lot I shot to my car and got into it. Dashed fast to practically be a couple of cars behind him. The light was red and I thought as soon as that light changes I am going to get to the gas station before he realizes I past him. After pretending to purchase gas my father passed the station and then I took of like a bat out of hell and made it right beside his car and the two of us locked eyes and then I put my foot to the metal and got out of his way and I was the first one home. What a stupid thing I did when we moved right next door to my parents.

    He spied on me morning noon and night their bedroom window faced the front of my house so he would peak everytime I would pull in. At night time when it was dark, I would turn may head lights off and put my car in neutral and coast into the drive way. If I had purchased beer I would go in the back door as our back doors were not to far from each other but he build a deck so high that we couldln't see what he was doing . but I could get into my house with out him getting past his deck to see what was in my hand. He use to go to establishments I would go to . There was this nice resturant on HWY 11 north called Barclay Square, it was managed by an aquaintance who worked in the same realestate office as me dad. She didn't like my parents. Who did for that matter? Anyway they started going to the resturant on a regualar basis, they never did before but seeing how I would be there they come in to see if and how many drinks I had and if I was able to stand up. I hated it they pissed me off fiercely. Talk about chutzpah they took the reward for it.

    I just was a wreck trying to second guess my father. He really despised me. I can't figure out what the hell I ever did to him, but being the first born and mom only just being 15 when she was pregnant with me may have something to do with the fact he was a constant shadow. Just waiting in the side so as to pounce on me.

    He won a small victory in 88 when I was acquised my two morons in the hall that my father was thick as theives with and it is as if he my father that is had these witnesses spying on me. You'd be surprised how many witnesses Iwould run in on any given day.

    Sugar I could write an encyclopedia about the escapades of my dad and the other elders in that congregation.

    Orangefatcat is now free as a bird and I am a happy camper now. And no I don't get drunk but I like a few beers when I am with friends at my home or their home. most ly thier homes as my place is the size of a postage stamp.

    A black brother, MS, who was in his late 40s or early 50s, I believe, completely shaved all of his hair off....shiny chrome dome....because his hair was starting to turn gray.

    He looked infinitely better bald. The (mostly white) BOE wouldn't appoint him an elder because he had a "gangsta" look about him and it was a bad influence on the young black men in the congo.

    So he had to grow it out, and he looked like an old man and about 60.

    I think it took a new CO showing up before he was appointed...and he was able to shave his head again.

    Snakes that was 2 funny man. i remember back in the day their was a Awake Asleep cover page where the photography department had taken a dub (white male) and dressed him up as a gangster which was so freakin fake and going out in those blk community neighborhood and show this to real gang-bangers was such a joke. i thought for sure that i was going to be dead meat. Can you say "Wigger" HA HA HA

    Ha! I've posted this before, but in one of our last bookstudies we attended, the conductor remarked: "If you don't comment at the bookstudy, you are pleasing Satan." Ha! My husband and I just looked at each other like: did he REALLY just say that?

    Once, my brother, from the platform, announced that the only place you can receive holy spirit is in the Kingdom Hall. When I pointed out to him (after the meeting) the illogic of that statement, he told me I shouldn't correct the elders. LMAO! I told him he was my little brother first, then an elder. (fortunately, not only is he no longer an elder but he's not quite that, um... "illogical" anymore either.)
