  Tomfoolery! (Fluffy Stuff, Fluffer Nutters)

  by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok so i just remembered something this morning that made me laugh really hard and it happened about 12 years ago:.

  my family were in the field service one saturday morning.. my little brother did nothing if not piss my dad off as much as possible, not sure if it was on purpose or just a personality clash, but anyway.. i'm pretty sure little bro would not get out at a door and was also possibly doing something mischevious, i.e.

  drawing funny yet inappropriate comics to entertain himself and his sisters.. so my dad demands that my bro get out.

  Here are some of mine

  Brother closing prayer and says "and lord from the heart of our bottoms" instead of...... yip you got it

  Me and my pal out chapping the doors up a dimly lit entry and I look at him as he is about the chap the door and he has this big black mark on his face, he says what you laughing at I tell him and he says you have one too. Well we were pissin ourselves laughing when the door opens and we had to say sorry to the person and walk away. Turns out the newspaper we had been reading earlier had smudged onto our hands then onto our faces, oh the laughs

  A brother reading on platform comes to the word amphibian but reads it out as amfibam, you had to be there ok

  Good thread though

  Which is greater, your time IN, or your time OUT?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  specifically, were you an active jw longer than you have been inactive or out of the organization, whichever applies?

  i was active for about 15 years, then faded into inactivity, although never df'd or da'd.

  time out hasn't yet caught up with time in, but time out is gaining.

  being curious about why people do or act the way they.

  do led me to this discussion.

  Overheard at the S.A.D.: Only Witnesses Understand Eph. 5:28-33

  by under_believer in

  2. friends

  at our special assembly day, there was a visiting speaker from bethel.

  don't remember his name, but he was a humorless and austere gentleman who was very clearly a company man.

  he said many questionable things, especially in the way he generalized about "the world" and "worldly ones.

  Zico, (good name by the way)

  Thanks for the time and effort in putting this up it makes me glad I don't need to go. In fact it sounds just like the last CA I was at except at that one they had a big model of the dooms day clock which was like a minute from 12 or something

  Good job

  But what if they're right............still the Truth?

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. social
  2. family

  this will probably apply to few here, but to me it'll always be that way.

  it's the what if syndrome maybe, but it's always there.

  i still think that as a core belief system the jw's have it right, even if their delivery isn't always right.

  I was thinking about this very topic last night before I came across this thread.

  I tend to mull over all the stuff I thought and was told and then think about all the stuff I have learned on the web and I think, there is no way they are right, how come a numb nuts like me can see it but 6 million can't??

  I don't think it will ever really go away but I put that down to not knowing anything else for 30 years. I just want to try and live a good life now and be happy is that too much to ask??

  All the best

  Hi!

  by sarahbear76 in

  so i just registered and i thought i should say something about myself instead of just lurking about.

  i'm 21 years old and i left the the jw's when i was 18. i was born into the religion so it's been really hard getting use to things.

  my story is pretty complicated and for some safety reasons i can't say to much.
