  If alcohol was a DF offense

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower

  i guess the question which is the hardest to give up smoking or alcohol.

  many folks gave up smoking in the 70's including me but i have known some hard drinking brothers and if consuming any kind of alcohol became a df offense, i wonder.....

  Sexual Depredation as a function of male society by men of a Certain Age

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would like to remind those folks younger than i that it was very few years ago when almost the entire planet earth was run by and for the benefit of men.women have throughout history been the property of men.due to religious restrictions, teachings, and fundamentalist doctrines, women in the largest societies on earth right now (muslim, chinese, n.korean) have almost no human rights at all.next year, in june, women will, for the 1st time, be allowed in arabia to drive---but--only if they are 30 years old or older, and for only a few hours per day!the old testament laws (read through them sometime) are horrifying reflective of prejudice toward gender, bodily cleanliness, guilt-tripping, and anonymity.

  After reading this to my wife she said when we was in the Borg many times she was introduced as my wife or bro. W------wife. Never by her name. Some even asked what her name was. I didn't realize I was doing this. I feel like a idiot now for what I was doing.

  Remembering movies there was 2 John Wayne pictures with Maureen O'Hair in it were he grabs her, throws her over his knee and spanks her. At the time I saw this I thought it was funny now I don't. Thank you for bringing this out. Still Totally ADD

  Since when our elders school 5 days long? When I was in I could hardly stand the 2 day weekend elder school. Maybe the extra days are to teach them how to squeeze more money out of the flock. Still Totally ADD

  JWs + Chronic Illness

  by Cimarrona in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i once asked my dad why, with all the power the wt insists on having so much control over its adherents' lives, they don't provide information about healthy eating habits or, like the adventists, wilderness training.

  i mean, the gb encourage people to remain poor, and poverty is known to correlate with health outcomes, particularly those that are diet related.

  i'd say most witnesses i knew over the age of 40 were overweight, had high blood pressure, heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, one kind of cancer or another (no doubt a result of eating their feelings if you ask me).

  When I was in I often wondered about this issue. As I look back now the only thought I have is a unhealthy person is a person who is easier to control. Fighting illness often makes you feel mentally depressed and that causes you to think more of the Borg doctrine on how Satan is causing your problems and the only hope you have is the new system.

  Just think what the Borg would look like if they encourage education and healthy living? It would be on par with the Mormon's. It is funny they have their nose into everything their flock does but not this. Oh I forgot don't have a blood transfusion. Thank you Cimarrona for this thread. Still Totally ADD

  Just Bumped Into My JW Sister And Brother In Town

  2. experiences

  so im walking through town today on my lunchbreak and spot the unmistakable walk of my younger brother.

  this is the one who left watchtower... well it turns out he's returned to the vomit after stupidly turning up to the 2017 convention and a few elders filling his head with seeing our dead dad in paradise and to "wait on jehovah".. a few meters behind him was my sister.

  she spotted me first, then hurried up her step to my brother.

  I am sorry that happen to you. Maybe they was upset because they had to sit inside all day while you was out in the fresh air enjoying yourself. Cults are a very strange thing. Still Totally ADD

  Why "fancy dress" and "theme weddings" were BANNED by our Congregation!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  our kingdom hall was in a boring town of 30,000 people so to spice things up me and some special pioneers living with us decided to have a fancy dress up party!

  what could go wrong?

  nice clean fun, and no booze (oh crap!).

  Use a Bible theme like dressing up in burned or tattered clothing with red paint splatter on it to represent blood. Then you can lay on the floor in all kinds of horrible position's showing what it will look like after Armageddon. To make it more realistic get some fat stuffed birds. Showing them pecking out someone's eye's. If anyone complains just tell them we are enacting a scene you saw in one of their publication. Still Totally ADD

  Dietary Quirks Among JWs

  by millie210 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently had to accompany an older family member out of state to a family reunion.

  it was a big reunion and not much was overtly made of the fact that i am "misguided" and not attending meetings (lost soul that i am) which was nice.

  the thing i noticed that i was most struck by was all the dietary quirks in evidence during our 3 days together.

  My parents back in the mid 60' s would have a D.O. stay at our home. He was a guest at there house for several years. At the end of the week he would always ask for a very large glass of vodka. Enough to put down a horse. Now that's what I call a special diet. Lol Still Totally ADD

  One thing I have notice sense leaving the cult is I am much more healthier now. I loss weight and I am much stronger. I feel one of the big reasons is STRESS. Leaving the cult has eliminated all that stress and without stress our bodies are able to heal. Just another thought on what it takes to live better and what may be going on in the borg.

  That is all nice but to be frank with all of you the majority of the food we American consume these days is very, very unhealthy. The reason is it all lacks right kind of nutrition important for our health. The unhealthy way our fruit, vegetables and meat is raised is absolutely scandalous. From the 1960's to now our food is almost 40% less nutritious. Our soil is dead because of the bad framing practices.

  So I can see why people are sick but avoiding these foods is not really the answer. Changing our diets to local raised food or your own food is one of the best ways to go. Start cooking your food from scratch not heat and eat packet food. Get rid of all the artificial crap, cola's, and even worse diet cola's. Learn about true organic gardening were you help bring your soil back to life. Remember even with a very small yard or growing space one can grow a lot. I know this is all very radical for us but getting out of the cult was also radical. It will take years to do it but it is will worth it. The modern food industry of today is making us all sick.
