I used to do that when mentally in and thought it was upbuilding. Now it just makes me want to puke. I'll still try it again, for laughs.

Car commercial reminded me of JWs
by neat blue dog inon the radio today, an ad for a car dealership said:.
'if a salesman came to your door to sell you a car, would you buy it from him?
of course not, you'd go online and do your research.'.

I'm from the US and any talk like that is typically viewed as 'Christendomish'.

Beards a-poppin!
by neat blue dog ini live in a pretty conservative area of the united states, and in the past two decades i can remember 2, that's right, two instances of seeing a jw with a beard in my area.
(not counting myself at times, 😜, and i'm obviously not counting bearded visitors dressed in casual clothes).. however at this year's convention, i saw about a dozen bearded jws .
this is like an explosion where i live.

Yeah it's been happening in Europe for years, but in the US it's newsworthy.

However at this year's convention, I saw about a DOZEN bearded JWs . . . This is like an explosion where I live. They were dressed in meeting clothes but more importantly, they had name tags, which means they are baptized and at least moderately active. Several were helping with dismantling the convention afterwards, one helping on the stage.
That being said I realize that none of them are likely Ministerial Servants, and per current policy do not qualify to appear on an assembly program. Still, it's worth noting the sudden influx of beards in an area like mine. Jehovah is certainly speeding up the ingathering 😜
I guess if they aren't being used for "privileges" anyway, then like the Ethiopian eunuch they ask themselves, 'What prevents me from growing a beard?'

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.
