Another JW Urban Legend Thread
by Funchback inthreads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.
they are loads of fun to read.
how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

What woke you up?
by MrRoboto infor me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).
but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.
then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

For me the biggest thing that got the ball rolling was the realization that the bible doesn't say anything about a paradise earth, but its all about heaven.

What is behind your choice of forum user name?
by stuckinarut2 injust curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

To not partake of even the leftovers of birthday cake. To go along with an unjust disfellowshipping because it was from Jehovah. Etc. So embarrassing.

June 2017 program - beards/mixed messages
by neat blue dog innothing big here, just a couple small observations:.
on this month's program at about the 43 minute mark, after bragging about giving a little medical help to jws in africa, they make them 'pay' for their services by offering onscreen testimonials thanking the organization.
one of them is an elderly man who i think got hearing aids or something (i forget) and said that now he can hear the meetings better.

Amen to that, NikL. All of their other sins stem from this: placing themselves in the position of God and Christ.
Jesus said he was the truth, they say JWs are The Truthâ„¢.
Peter said of Jesus 'Whom shall we go away to', they say of The Organizationâ„¢ 'Where' shall we go away to.
From there on out almost any abuse can be justified.

Anyway the point is he's all dressed up in meeting clothes, but also has a goatee, something I'd never seen in a JW approved publication before.
Cut to another segment shortly thereafter, and we see the experience of a man who returned to the JWs and was making changes in his life. He says, 'My beard became a goatee, and then the goatee gradually became a mustache', indicating this is the maximum allowed facial hair.
