I remember one congregation where they had to get rid of just about everybody for immorality,elders having fist fights at weddings I can go on and on.
The same thing happened to a congregation I attended as a boy. My cousin was one of the elders in that congregation. The entire congregation was dissolved, and the ones who were not df'd were put into other kingdom halls.
Well My kingdom hall is good at hiding things. Lol I have so many stories.. One time when I was in my "hate the world phase" about a year and a half ago (hey don't think I'm weird from what im about to say, come on ive been traumatized), I smoked a fatty and was high during the whole meeting. I don't smoke anymore of course since plenty of people get killed from delivering accross the country so i can have a few fake happy times, I quit now. But anyways I was walking with my eyes red and staggering in my step and I saw my drunk of a dad, he is an elder and he had mad drinking binge before the meeting and he was wasted for sure, good thing he is a quiet drunk. So we like totally bumped into each other and I fell and he helped me up, tried to at least. And I looked at him and his eyes were red and lowered and mine were too and he said, "Hey son, you got ahold of my beer?" And my smart butt came up and said, "Whoa dad when did you smoke weed too" Lol we cracked up and he totally forgot that that happened. I know other people knew he was drunk but he is one of the Cool Elders so nobody would want to do anything to mess up his reputation.
Man I gotta admit, I had some good times. Too bad the good times was about how corrupt and hypocritcal they are and not the actual truth.
Oh ya I commited like the worse of worse of worse of sins. I "wanked" myself good in one of the restrooms in the kingdom hall. Hey I was 11! Lol that's like dissfellowshipped times twenty. I have more manners now of course though.
By the way I I am not talking about the ghetto here I am talking about middle to upper middle class Chicago by the way Corvin great post about shitting or getting off the pot I think your daughters bf deserved the verbal abuse you gave him he sounds like your typical mixed up jw youth wanting to live both lives it is not his fault it is just that stupid jw upbringing.Good luck you guys.
Hey!!!... and welcome to the forums
Well we are the same age i believe and i have to say that i have never been your typical dedicated jw child (as most ppl on here will already know!). I have only one mother that is a jw and my father isn't which means that i have a certain amount of freedom.My mum knows the kind of peron that i am - i enjoy going out alot and drinking, 99% of my friends are outside of the jw community and i do actually like boys... What a sin!!!
The majority of the kids in my congregation are boring and quite frankly sad. They never go out, never swear, never drink. Their idea of fun is probably sitting down and having a bible story. I do know what you mean about living a double life though. Although i personally don't my friend is baptised and has a boyfriend who is 19 and also in the congregation. I know for a fact that she has been having sex (shock horror... ) for at least two years.Nobody has a clue, they believe because of their upbringing they will know not to do this!! Whatever!!
Recently i told my mum that i didn't believe in anything anymore and she was really devastated about this. Although this is not completely true i wanted to see her reaction. She kept telling me how stupid i was to believe we appeared by chance and her and my gran got me a load of evolution books that are supposed to make me change my mind. Once again.... whatever!!! Although i don't agree with some of the things that they teach i can't say that i see them as the enemy and still accept some of the things they say.
But hey, good to hear your story.Hope you keep posting here.
Talk soon, xLaurax
Ya it is sad really. Just sitting down and just contemplating on the attitudes some of the people have in the kingdom hall. I just don't know. The ones that are the most unique are the ones that are farthest away from the "truth". Principles are good but they just totally messed it up. Well hope we can become friends Lauar and everybody else on this board. I need to summon up the strength and actually start talking to people.
Come on people think about it. There are MILLIONS of people following this thing. People that could be great people that will most likely find the cure for AIDs or many cancers or something. And it feels like it's just a waste when they die believing in men and not their true beliefs. Looking at the people I care about that's in the organization I just think about how great they could be but its always beaten down because those are thoughts of the world. I mean the organization freakin I don't want to sound weird but I'm practically afraid of sex. I want to have it like wild but when i think about it it always seems that I'm taking advantage of the person or I'm hurting the person. Come on I know that's not a good quality to have. Oh that's going to be a great quality in the New World, trying to stop everybody from having sex because I feel that they are hurting the person. Worse thing is I feel like I can never recover from it, breaks my heart in a way. Just seeing the people masses of them secretly depressed living lies. Man It almost makes me want to be the Governing Body and secretly Tear it down. That's too much work though lol.
Anyways, wish I can become life long friends with the people here because they have way more sense than the mindless double lived drones I see every sunday, saturday, and wednesday.
P.S. One thing I enjoy majorly is to go to the district conventions or what not and just look at the people. I hear a few swears followed by an woops, love those. And seeing the surprised STUNNED faces after they said it. Good times.
Secret, you have a private message.
In the UK about 10 years ago, organised raves were quite common. And even most of the house parties were like walking into a night club. I used to lend some of my hardware to people (I've got a heavy amplifier and speakers). Some of the bigger raves got such a reputation that they would warn young ones from the platform not to attend. Elders were warned that their position was at stake if their children attended but some did anyway.
Wow spent the whole night awake and intent searching through the forums. The meeting is about to start also lol. Havent even skimmed over my watchtower. My parents will think I'm the devil... litterally.
Avengers, those are classic!
Hey Obvious,
The doctrine of the Jehovah's Witness exagerates the fact that all False religion will fall... we might be seeing ourselves fall at the moment.
That's actually a very insightful comment. Actually, all religion is false anyway so they will all fall. That's the way thoughts are, they come and go - and religion is nothing more than a way of thinking. I mean you probably know that even the JWs used to say 'religion is a snare and a racket' right?
I mean the organization freakin I don't want to sound weird but I'm practically afraid of sex. I want to have it like wild but when i think about it it always seems that I'm taking advantage of the person or I'm hurting the person.
That's what happens when you demonize sex. Even if the official statement is treating it as sacred, within the bonds of marriage etc. it's the attitude that is instilled in people right? Actually that attitude creates a division within you, so that you see a part of yourself as bad - and what's that going to do to anyone but tear them apart? Of course this applies to a lot of things, but frankly it's the opposite of love. What's really sad to me is a lot of people even after they leave all they understand is right and wrong, good and bad - and that's like any other religion. I'm not saying do whatever you want and ignore other people's feelings, but it's this attitude that actually ignores peoples feelings - just do what the organization wants you to do, forget that we're all different, one size fits all lifestyle here.
Worse thing is I feel like I can never recover from it, breaks my heart in a way. Just seeing the people masses of them secretly depressed living lies.
Yes I hear you there. But you know what? Atleast you still have a heart. Anyway, welcome to the forum.
