Where does the light shine brightest?
by JamesThomas in

2. beliefs
you just know there's going to be trouble when there's a preface of apology to the many christians i'm about to insult.

i really don't mean to (honest t' god), but i can't express myself around it and still make sense.

the only reconciliation i can offer is just know that everything i say here can, to some degree -- be applied and insulting to jews and moslems as well.

What did you do to piss the brothers off?
by Pleasuredome in
1. jw

when you were getting fed up with meetings before you gave up, was there anything you did to deliberately get on the brothers nerves?.

i turned up to a meeting once with jeans on, and a red top with cccp on it with the 'hammer and sickle'.

i also went to another bs group a few times so that if i wasnt at one group they'd think i was at the other and vice versa.

To: Ex-JW Women - Your Side
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
ex-jw women: i, and i assume other ex-jw men, would enjoy hearing your views, opinions, feelings, analysis, and conclusions about your jw experience.

how did you feel about your husband, fathers, brothers, elders, ms's, and other women in the organizations?

did you generally feel oppression, and why?

Do You Think That You Might Turn Back To Jehovah?
by Englishman in
1. jw
2. friends
i`ve never yet been snubbed by a jw.

the reason is that i refuse point blank to speak to them unless they speak to me first.

so, if i`m visiting my jw mum and jw visitors arrive which they often do i just smile, raise one eyebrow slightly, and look `em straight in the eye!.

What women don't like and what men don't like!
by spectromize in
1. social
2. relationships
women don't like,.

#1 unclipped hair protuding out of your nose and ears.. #2 showing up at the restaurant without reservations.. #3 using her money to buy a gift.. #4 asking her daughter out if it doesn't work out.. #5 watching the football game while she says:"we have to talk!".

#6 being a couch potato on your days off.. #7 never, never say she's fat even if she is.
