Your worst convention experience.

by zeb in

by a split second rescuing our handicapped son from being pushed down the stairs by a flood of sisters rushing out to see as the drama had started.. the main offender being a special pioneer..

My aunt and family were driving back from Canada after a convention in the southeast US, voice from the back seat, "Mommie, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH BILLY!!" "JIM!! PULL OVER, PULL OVER, HE'S NOT BREATHING!! HE'S BLUE!!!" Jim pulls the car over and my aunt, on the road, in the pouring rain,keeps working my little cousin's locked jaw open, they say that if it hadn't been raining he would've died as the rain cooled him down, he has a heart condition to this day from this episode, the cause was food poisoning at the convention from food left out in the heat too long,

Facial hair and Witnesses

by Jules Saturn in

i never understood why the society was against beards or goatees but completely okay with mustaches.

what's the difference?

facial hair is facial hair, whether it's above your lip or around your cheeks or under your chin.

At this point, believe it or not, they are bowing to public pressure, a CO asked me around 1999 "Did you notice that for years White brothers in the Magazines do not have moustaches?" He said that that was because a "lot of Black brothers (and sisters) had written in complaining,

I think that this was racist but that's what he said,

It's amazing to learn what goes on behind the magic curtain,

The Bible a wierd book.

by James Mixon in

some events in the bible can be questionable but there are some stories the rings of truth, and why do i say that because they are so descriptive.

judges 3:22 "ehud an israelite judge, goes to the king of the moabites to pay annual tribute.

instead, he pulls out a dagger and stabs the sh--t out of the king while he is bathing, he literal caused the sh--t to flow and the dagger disappeared in the folds of the king's skin.

Samson spent a night with a prostitute (hooker), but if you did that today you'd be DFed, (I'll spare you the witty asides) :)

Did you ever think about Nabal or "senseless one"? Did everyone including his household call him this? Did his parents give him this name upon birth? Could he change this name at any time by going to Public Registry with a goat surcharge? We know this account is true as it's in the Bible, hmmm

Short version: Lady makes us wait behind her closed door as she calls the cops on us, two police respond, then the cop asks her "Why'd you call us?" Lady lamely answers, cop looks at lady and yells: "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO SHOOT THEM?" :)

Update: My current situation

by Issa in

it's been about two months since i stopped attending meetings, came to the conclusion that the org is not the truth, and i'm currently dealing with some problems since leaving the org.

i want to discuss these problems and hopefully get helpful advice.. discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort - fred rogers.

my current situation in this: i faded and hold off on writing a disassociation letter.

Side note: Don't talk to new friends and associates about you and the jws they won't get it,

Build the best social network you can, in person (Meetup) and social media ie Facebook as in exiting you will lose all your friends and associates, you need friends for your emotional well being,
