I'm sorry but I feel bad for this guy. That little girl is acting horribly and the parent is worse for egging her on. If it had been me, I would have had to fight the impulse to slap her little mouth.

Do you have hope for mankind?

by noontide in

friends

let me start off by acknowledging that my current mood/thoughts reflect the fact that ive watched a few documentaries recently (blackfish, surviving progress, etc.

) and they got me thinking about the future of mankind.

mainly the question, do i hold out hope for the future of mankind?.

I am thinking the day will come when everyone will be affected by world events on a very personal level. No more being able to hide behind a great paying job, living their consumerist lifestyle, slurping their Starbucks and whining about how inconvenienced they are when things go south for them. The day will eventually come when everyone will either sink or swim and those that make it will be the ones who are smart and know what hard times can be like and be willing to adapt immediately. I do believe there will be a day of reckoning not from a divine source but one of our own doing. I do have faith in man's ability to rise above it. Just my opinion.

For 8 years I worked exclusively with nothing but JW's all day long 5 days a week. And then I had meetings and field service also in the evenings and on the weekends. My in laws were all witnesses. It was rare I ever encountered a normal person. It drove me NUTS! One of the reasons I left the borg. I almost went crazy. It was at that time I realized if I had to endure an eternity of that, then I would just kill myself.

Mental Disorders among JW's

by Blackfalcon98 in

hi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.

do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.

.

idiotnomore

I once told someone that if I heard another witness claim to have bi-polar that I would go off on them. I think that what they were really saying was, "I'm tired. I can't deal with this anymore. I want to be left alone. I'm trying to make sense of everything, maybe I need help". They are told constantly that the world is an evil place, everything is temporary, nothing we do is good enough, shun, hate, be prepared to let your kids die or be prepared to shun them too, the congregation is a haven of love, what? you don't believe that, then you are crazy! I realized after waking up that witnesses also have no sense of reality, they live in a matirx of fantasy.

I remember when I was much younger babysitting a little witness kid, I think he was around 4 or 5. Like an idiot without thinking, I let him watch Wonder Woman not thinking anything of it at all or maybe that he would like it. After it was over, he ran to the bedroom. When I went to check on him I found him sobbing hysterically and praying to Jehovah to protect him from Satan and the demons. He was really terrified! It took a long time to calm him down. Of course, that was the first thing he told his parents about when they picked him up. Not a good scene and they never talked to me again. I couldn't help thinking what his life at home must be like.

Anytime anyone ever talked about being affected by demons, I never looked at them the same way again. They lost all credibility in my eyes. I know for a fact JW's are nuts. I never saw or heard or felt anything that could be construed as demon activity and if they are real then I would have definitely been possesed by the devil himself with the things I have done.

I Was Asked To Perform A Marriage Ceremony But Don't Know I'm Qualified

by minimus in

friends

my girlfriend's daughter and her fiancee asked me to marry them last night.

they live in connecticut and will be married in new york.

i felt honored that i was asked but i don't think i can do it because i am not a clergyman or minister and my u derstanding is that only clergy or judges and lawyers and justice of the peace can perform a wedding ceremony and marry a couple.. does anyone have any information on this subject?

idiotnomore

I was aked by my neice to give the marriage talk for them for their wedding. We did exhaustive research on the subject regarding the borg's stance on it. Even tho I wasn't a servant or elder, I was allowed to give the talk but an elder had to do the actual vows. Before you could blink, the elders were at my house to shut the the whole notion down that I should be involved. Their reasoning was that it set a bad precedence. Bulls*&%!

Be Honest: Were You Ever Jealous When Someone Was Appointed a Pioneer, MS or Elder?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i knew some that were very happy for you and others, along with their families, that were envious of someone's advancement.. .

.

idiotnomore

Never jealous. I never wanted any position, I hated even doing mikes. Thought I'd go for it once tho and did everything I was supposed to. No results. I was contemptuous of elder's sons who were always ministerial servants. I knew the only reason they were was because of nepotism. It was all a joke.

Sub-thread of Yondaime - I'm going to read on Sunday :p

by LogCon in

not to take away from yondaime's thread but i just wanted to ask about personal experiences regarding the congregation meetings.. when i was young, [about 10] in the early sixties one brother in our hall used to read the watchtower about once every two months.

back then they were not too particular about who they got.

if he was baptized, he would read.. this brother was a terrible reader, he obviously would never prepare and when he came to a word he could not pronounce he simply said, ...' wheelbarrow'.. of course the kids in the hall looked eagerly for the time br.

idiotnomore

1976 I think. It was a Sunday talk out of the Youth book (teh red one). It was a talk on masturbation. I can remember the brother's words exactly. " Have you ever rubbed your genitals to the point of producing an emission of "Serum"?, and he kept using that word "serum" instead of "semen". There were obvious giggles from the audience and not just the young ones. He was not a very good reader and I felt bad for him. I think he knew his talk was a bomb.

TV.JW.Org - WTF is Wrong With This Guy? - CAPTION THEM

i've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.

and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

I doubt if anything will be said on here that would be on the fly or spontaneous. It's obvious every word is scripted and rehearsed.

It's so apparent that it's a careful and dileberate attempt to inculcate and brainwash. It's very creepy.
