YOU MIGHT BE A J.W.

by brandnew in

jw
friends

if getting ready means putting on a suit........ you might be a j.w.. if going out to the field has nothing to do with grass, baseball diamonds, or football ......... you might be a j.w.. please continue my friends.......i know ya got some.....; ).

sowhatnow

you might be a JW

If every teenage private conversation with your mother ends in this advice

'well pray on it, Jehovah will give you the answer' [and she gives you little if any advice, basically because shes clueless]

If every time you go into the ladies handbag section of a department store you make sure the handbag you look at had a place for all those 'tracts' and a bible.

If you never went into the store called 'hot topic' or Victoria's secret

If every car you bought had to be 'good for service'

Magazine placements

by Awake at last in

this morning we opened our front door to find 5 magazines, 4 awakes and 1 watchtower left there.

someone must have been counselled about not placing enough literature.

we never heard them knock and we are not that deaf, at least we didn't think so.

sowhatnow

where i live it was common practice to leave older magazines in the doors of not at homes.

but its also humorous to me now [though at the time i was annoyed] that one day when i was home i opened my door to let the dog out and there was a memorial invite in my screen door.

[lets review. I was home, I've lived there for 5 years, gone to that congregation for 5 yrs, and no one knocked or rang the door bell.]

no one knew i lived there because this area people at the kingdom halls are not friendly at all,

they dont knock if they can help it. when doing tract work, it takes too much time.

Seriously, Why Can’t Jehovah’s Witness Women Wear Pants?

by Watchtower-Free in

i found this.

http://jwvictims.org/2014/02/05/seriously-why-cant-jehovahs-witness-women-wear-pants/.

seriously, why cant jehovahs witness women wear pants?.

sowhatnow

omg, i have been for wearing pants since I was a child.

heres my logic. did not paul say he was all things to all people?

if you go in service and you are working in a neighborhood that is say a low income housing project, you come across as being a human services worker, and it makes the people feel uncomfortable.

its less attention grabbing if you go t o someones home dressed accordingly, not like some stuck up high society know it all.

and, going to meetings. you have either, prairie girl look or I just got out of bed look, or stuck up cindy look.lol

the younger girls are wearing super high heels. and shorter skirts, and butt fitting at that. and clingy sweaters...

no modesty there.

how about lace tights? yes ive seen those, in many colors. hair dyes? yes, extreme eye liner? yes.

and a simple black pant suit is not modest how???

and

who wants to see old women's ugly legs and feet? I dont like my own let alone a 85 yr old woman's dried out cracked feet and varicose veiny legs with blubber hanging off them and yes there are those older ones who wear skirts that are not long. its like EWW.

yes i recall the day when we were temporarily allowed to wear culottes.[ or gauchos] today they are called Capri length pants that was stopped though there was nothing immodest about them.

this is purely no different than what the leaders of extreme religions, want those women to wear in the middle east.

I often wanted to just show up at a meeting with dress slacks on just to see if anyone said anything.

Jehovah reconsiders....

by freemindfade in

anyone read exodus 32 lately???

i consider the bible a work of fiction, and i consider the ot to be barbaric and the underlying theme for everything wrong with religion from jw to radical islam.

it's filled with man made analog thinking that people attribute to an all intelligent creature.

sowhatnow

exactly

would jehovah find himself disfellowshipped?

by sowhatnow in

who of the bible characters would find themselves disfellowshipped?

jehovah?

sowhatnow

Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

by kairos in

jw
friends

the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

sowhatnow

chronic fatigue syndrome. works every time.

see by the time I get home from work, im so exhausted that i cant move, or even think strait and wouldn't get a thing out of the meetings. it would be embarrassing to go and fall asleep. its a chronic condition.

go to a meeting, and then fall asleep... ive seen it.

oh and 'I listen in on the phone'

whos gonna question it? its absolutely been true for many people that i know.

hmm, I wonder if anyone has dug up 3000 sets of bones in that area where this supposedly happened.

Yes, lets talk sense in to that jehovah, hes too emotional when the kids get out of hand, we wouldnt want him to have any regrets.

This would so be my mom,

"if you want to watch tv kids,, you must watch the latest video from the governing body,"

" oh but look, they got a new cartoon ooo" barf barf. I thought 'the wiggles' was bad,lol

so now what are the wt people doing with all these videos? no more new light, its simply rehash the old old and put it on tv for all the new generation to see 'and lets make it fun', [pathetic] i wont even watch those even to poke fun.

is this all they do now in the 'secret' room?
