someone at bethel dinning room was hogging all the bread rolls!!!
would a brother on the writting dep.
dare vent his frustration thru the spiritual food our watchtower???
Two things:
1) the article didnt say "fat" people but rather gluttons. It was highlighting the attitude not the the weight or relative body mass.
2) you dont have to go back to 1974. The current elders book says the exact same thing. Its still, in 2015, a df'ing offense.
see www.avoidjw.org/2015/12/jehovahs-witnesses-rules explaining that jw's have to apply to 230 rules.
Thats incorrect. Paul, stealing from greek mythology, said the disobdient angles were thrown into tartarus, or imprisioned.
Any google referances to "larger skulls" (as in nephelium) are clearly hoaxes. Its ok, former brother. Its a long march to truth :)
i just watched this clip on youtube....i can't begin to say how it made me feel.
, i'm not sure who i am more annoyed about.
the bloke doing the commentry, the punk shouting at a serious and should be respectful religious event, or some of the youtube comments that follow.. and i find this so disrespectful.

Heres my remarks from 8 months ago on this video:
As usual when these childish antics are demonstrated its the witnesses who end up looking rational. The 'brother' takes the wine glass and passes it to the next person as the clown rants irrationally about things 90% of the audience has no context for....
Thank you for setting back the cause of reasoning with my family and friends 10 years, but hey it made you feel good to stand up in front of them and spout out for 20 seconds while your equally childish friends snickered and recorded.
What real bravery did that take...? Anyone whos ever been a witness or grew up a witness or even just studied for a while knows they are nonviolent as individuals and certainly at meeting there was no danger whatsoever. It was frankly an act of bullying.
i stand by those remarks today
i am sorry i haven't replied and if it seems rude.
but people keep asking me what happened and i am not sure what to say.
thanks for writing anyway.

Slim, im already on record saying i dont care why you came back and that its your prerogative... However my dear cognac has explained to me why she feels as she does and i can understand her point.
You were here for a long time and all of a sudden proclaimed that you were going back to the org and that you once again accepted jw's as having the truth, that you were going to ask the desert god for forgivnees etc etc.... Thats a pretty profound thing to say. It took some people for a loop, as it were, and took a little something from them personally. Thats not your fault in and of itself, but it was the very public way you did it and the very personal proclamation of rediscovery regarding the religious virtues of the witness that seems to have some wondering so much how you went from witness to nonbeliever to witness back to here again and did so in a very public way.
im not pushing you to make a statment nor do i believe personally you owe me or anyone else an explanation but having talked to cognac and hearing her view on it i just wanted to share how she and others may be feeling about this from an impartial non emotionally involved persons view, maybe explain it in a way that they are not because it hit them so close to home.
whatever you choose slim I wish you all the best and happines :)
this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.
so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.
or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.
i'm a naughty girl, i love it, it makes me laugh & i love to laugh.
life is so serious, not enough smiles i think.
my husband got me a new toy, it's the fart gun from despicable me.
hi guys - new poster here.
i was brought up a jw in the uk and stopped going not long after i was married.
that was 20 years ago so i'm not really up to date with the current doctrinal flip flops or the new youtube obsessed gb.. came across this site while googling the name of a local elder who's just been convicted of possesion of a pc full of unpleasant pics of kids.. so, my question.
"I haven't avoided any question. Your inability to read or extrapolate an answer from the things I've written is your problem, not mine."
hmmmm.... So cognac has a problem because shes trying to help you be articulate instead of allowing you to be dodgy and evasive...? No i think not.
What i extroplate is that the whole premise of this thread reeks of self righeous aggrandizement. Congratulations. Now we all can see clearly what you are. Dont break your arm patting yourself on the back.

I always love self righteous threads from people who have nothing to lose questioning why people with everything to loose dont do as they did... /endextremesarcasium
Everyone has their own process and everyone has their own time. Its better that we support people where they are and help them take the next step than belittle them for what they haven't yet done. Congrats on your easy and pain free fade. Its not like that for most.
