back in 2005, i remember sitting in the stadium in the special rows with 42 others.
8000 people were looking at us - maybe even with a binocular - while listening to the speech.
my family and my friends among them, being all proud of me.. i don't remember being enthusiastic.
I got water up my nose and flopped around like a fish. I may have kicked one of the goons. :->
I remember the changing room mainly, and all the twigs and berries out in the open. I tried to change as fast as I could with my "manhood" to the walls. There were some old guys in there just flopping it around. I was like, WTF dude? At least try to be discreet...
in reading these posts, it sounds like a lot of you are very jealous of the wt.
society’s annual income and the money they/we have in the bank.
jehovah has indeed blessed us.
Deaconblues1914 - the literal day I found out JWs harbor (and in some ways abet) child molesters I never again paid 1 penny to these corrupt sickos. Maybe you should do some research on where all that money goes...not to the world wide work, but to the lawyers and settlements.
knocked on a door on a saturday morning.
a window opened on the floor above me.
a grizzled old man stuck his head out and said, " we're all heathens here!
When I was 19/20 - Young man, young HOT girl came to door in blanket n'ked....obviously there was some hanky panky going on. But I don't think they were, um, "together", if you know what I mean...CHEATING. So they looked like deer in headlights and they had an expression like they were caught and in deep poop.
Said something like, "um we're kinda busy here..."
I left somewhat quickly, but not before checking to see if I could catch a glimpse of her nip. But alas, they were decently covered :-/ But she was HOT, and will 4ever be in my memories :->
all through my childhood, i was told about the evils of violence (and magic) in entertainment, i doubt i could count the number of movies and video games i wasn't allowed to enjoy for that very reason.
i did always watch movies and play video games with a certain amount of violence in them, but i was careful to keep it at the teen/pg-13 rating.. in the last year or so though i've started trying out games like skyrim, fallout 3, and thief.
(since i still live with my parents i'm careful about where and when i play them.
I've been playing video games on an almost daily basis since I was about 5, now 39...some violent and some cute-n-cuddly types. Recently started playing sniper games on my iPhone and have played many first person shooters.
I've never wanted to kill anyone IRL. I think people that are unstable may have issues, but a normal sane person can tell the difference.
joey jojo - sounds fun. I'll have to check that one out ;-) Thx
steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?
i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.
note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.
DISCLAIMER - I love sex. Adore sex. Can't get enough of sex. Could give 2 large "flips" about who wants to have sex with who.....the more the merrier i say. Men, women, dogs, cats, horses, squirrels...i don't GAF. Whatever TF gets you off.
But that is besides the point...do witnesses not get that the basic human act of taking something YOU USE TO RELEASE BODILY WASTE AND STICK IT INTO ANOTHER HUMAN TO RELEASE MORE FLUIDS INTO THEM IS IN THEIR WORDS "DISGUSTING"???? Am I missing something??? In their little rosy colored glasses, shouldn't they see that the heterosexual act that each witness performs nightly, weekly, yearly, is an "abomination" and "disgusting"? That should at least be a footnote on their crap website to limit sexual relations to only creating babies, because otherwise it's just "disgusting".
Bring that up next assembly, you hypocritical scumbag sickos. If I were attending this year, I would probably have just walked out after that BS skit....WOW.
i had no doubts at all about the 'truth' untill a friend of mine in the cong' began falling away.
in trying to help him i had to ask questions and do research and that of course cracked the doors of my mind open for the first time in over thirty years.. years ago, when jwd allowed members to have signatures, i used the following quote from voltaire as mine.
i still love it.. doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous..
I was once questioned by the elders about an "event". I was astonished that their main concern was "the image of Jehovah" to the community. They cared not one F*** about the people involved...all Brothers and Sisters.
It smacked of cultism. At the time, I was more surprised than anything. Dumbfounded. It was my first time ever to be questioned by the elders, and it opened my eyes a tiny bit. It took a few years for the doubts to fully surface after the events, but it opened my eyes just enough.
About 5 or 6 years later (around 2005), I searched for Jehovah's Witnesses for the 1st time ever on Google, found this website, and the rest is history.
hi friends .
i don't believe in jw doctrines anymore but because of family i have to be a jw for now.. i am not regular to meetings, and don't answer in meeting, but i report some hours so i remain as active jw now.. .
congregation knows that i am not spiritual and i don't talk to people and i don't care what they think about me.. now, i believe it's important to observe lord's supper as a christian as per john 6:53, so in the coming memorial if i attend i want to partake in the communion,.. i believe it is a sin to pass the bread and wine inspite of knowing it's flesh and blood of jesus.. it's like rejecting jesus.. so i want to partake.. but i dont consider i am anointed etc.
If you're really up for a gag, you should eat the entire plate of bread and drink the entire glass of wine...that would get everyone in a tizzy and probably get you kicked out promptly :)
Darn, so that means you could probably only eat all of the bread before they catch on and the elders circle you like piranhas :-(
Or, just bring your own wine =D And pull it out after eating the plate of bread!
well here am i, a couple of years passed since my original post (link here), somewhat less mysoginistic, more open to relationships, heartbroken again.
this is an official "fuck my life" thread.. being chased by the elders makes one arrive at the conclusion that there is nothing better than not being chased by the elders.
i had a pre-jc meeting a week ago.
Seems like she took it as a normal no strings hookup to me. I don't see what the probo is...you got some likely needed p-tang, and she got a night off from her loser fiancé...win for everyone the way I see it. Sometimes at the end of the night it's just sex and wanting to be close to someone for 8 hrs...nothing more. Also, bars scenes are usually breeding grounds for hookups...kind of common sense.
BTW - I do believe it is poor taste to bring up that you make 6x the normal salary. Kind of makes you come off as a bit arrogant and dirt baggish, even if you didn't mean it.
the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.
currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.
it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.
illegal immigrants
Heh hmmm. I don't know what else to say really. I have know f'n problem with legal migrants that work their way to the USA and got through all of the paperwork. I believe they should come, the more the marrier. but ILLEGALLY?????????????????????????????? NO.
My wife is from Mexico. Her dad came here LEGALLY when she was like 2. She is against ILLEGAL immigrants. That should f'n tell you something.
another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.
jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.
absolutely drives me mad..
When I was "in" (physically and mentally), I would show my displeasure by not saying Amen at the end. Kind of silly, but gave me a sense of revolt. :>
This was a regular occurrence at CAs/DAs, when long-winded gas bags would get up and blather for 5-10 minutes. I never understood that crap...worthless, arrogant prayers.
Of course, now I know they were just suck up douche bags to the DO/CO, so the whole thing makes sense...
