Was Being A Jehovah's Witnesses A Bad Investment For You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

you could look at being a jw in a negative or somewhat positive way.

by that, i mean, for example---some say that had they not been witnesses, they are sure they'd be in jail today.

others might say, their whole lives were robbed of fun and money---simply because they filled their times as preachers and meeting attenders.

Being an outcast all through school because your a JW. Was a straight A student all the way up to the 11th grade because at that time I finaly figured I wasn't going to college so why bother. Just a short and curly away from dropping out of school in the 12th grade. I started working when I was 15 so I could get money to get things that didn't come from a garage sale or thrift shop and save up for a used car.

Got married before I graduated highschool (to a good JW girl that was 4 years older than me). Got divorced 4 years later because I worked to much (8 am to 4 pm and 1/2 days on every other saturday) and wasn't "theocratic" enough. Of course she wanted to stay in the borg and I didn't so I lied and told The Asses (elders) that I commited adultry so she could have "scriptural" grounds for divorce. I never did have a formal star chamber commitee meeting. A couple of elders dropped by one evening to see what was up with us splitting up. I said, "I committed adultry she is free to go." They wanted to get together and have a judicial meeting and I told them, "I am not going and I am leaving the JW's and don't come back." I am not sure when they announced my DF but nobody else came around my apartment after that night.

Worked a bunch of dead end low paying jobs because I didn't have any education after highschool. Don't have any comunication with 1/2 my immediate family because I am DF'd.

DEFINATLY A BAD INVESTMENT!!!!!

It took me a few years to get my life straightened out but I am doing alright now. I have a good job and contributing to society instead of being a JW leech on society.

Sorry about the long rant. First time in almost 12 years that I can get things out and have somebody understand what the hell I am talking about.

Are you a blood donor?

by nicolaou in

so many of us on this forum have criticised the watchtower society for their obscene blood transfusion/fractions policies.

quite right too.. it begs the question though; what are you doing about blood now that you have a more tolerant and informed perspective?

it's a rhetorical question.

Heatmiser

I gave regularly untill I started deploying overseas. They have restrictions on donating blood for a time after you visit certain countries. I usually deploy again before the time limit is up. I have been put on a national bonemarrow list, not sure of the name of it here in America. Also I am an organ donor if I kick the bucket early.

What's in a Name?

by Thunder Rider in

jw
friends

ok, this has probably been done before and i missed it, but i want to know what your member names mean.

is there a special story behind your online handle?

mine is pretty self evident.

Heatmiser

I got my nick name in the navy. It is a character from an old christmas animation "The year without a Santa Clause".

Our ship was in the shipyards for repairs and we had to wear hard hats all of the time. I let my hair grow long becase nobody could see it when at work. Well one day I took my hat off in the shop and this is what my hair looked like.

The name stuck and I liked it. Heck I even have my own theme song with this nickname...hehehe

q: what do you get if you cross a donkey with an onion?.

a: most of the time you simply get an onion with long ears, but every once in a while, you luck out and get a piece of ass that brings tears to your eyes.

How to stop JWs from knocking on your door.

by Oxnard Hamster in

.

the ultimate weapon against dubs.

Heatmiser

I think it was in one of the "Scary Movie" series of movies. Can't remember which one. They are spoofs of slasher type films. The scene doesn't have anything to do with JW's, just a realy funny doorknocker.

WHOOO HOOOO Son update

by SheilaM in

(yes i am posting a lot but it is cause i couldn't go to dallas

ok ant is in va until mid-january.

he was fitted for his dress blues last week.

Heatmiser

I was at the airport on Oct. 29 and Nov. 1st. I didn't get to know them very well other than by the time they cancelled the last flight it was pretty late and the USO stayed open for us to crash there for the rest of the night.

He is better off flying a regular flight. With military flights you don't always have a way to get back to where you where coming from. Also it is dependent on space available, so you could get bumped off of a flight.

You should be proud, they don't just send anybody to that type of duty.

I was stranded in the San Diego airport during the fires at the end of Oct. with a bunch of Marines that was going to DC for protection detail. We ended up sleeping on the USO floor untill we could get a flight to the east coast. Great group of guys.

Adam

by Heatmiser in

god said, "go down into that valley.

" and god explained it to him.

then god said, "cross the river" and adam said "what's a river?

Heatmiser

God said, "Go down into that valley." And Adam said, "What's a valley?" and God explained it to him. Then God said, "Cross the river" And Adam said "What's a river?" and God explained it to him.

And then God said, "Go over the hill." And Adam said, "What's a hill?" and God explained it to him. Then God told Adam, "On the other side of the hill, you will find a cave," and Adam said, "what's a cave?" and God explained that to him.

"In the cave you will find a woman." And Adam said, "What's a woman?" So God explained that to him, and said,"I want you to reproduce." And Adam said, "How do I do that?" So God explained it to him.

So off went Adam, down into the valley, across the river, and over the hill, and into the cave, and found the woman, and in about five minutes he was back. God said angrily, "What is it now?"

And Adam said, "What's a headache?

They figure that the hijacker was here in the Virginia Beach area looking for targets for the mission. This area has many military bases from all of the services with the Navy having several large bases here.
