JW references in movies
by stichione ini watched the movie "mickey blue eyes" last night on tv, staring hugh grant.
at one point there is a knock at the door and mickey, looking through the peep hole, anounces "its the jehovah bloody witnesses".
there was more insitent knocking and the female occupant replies "they must be really devoted!".

The thing is, is when these references are made in movies and television, the WTBTS sees it as a "witness" being given to the general public.

A movie made back in the seventies starring Linda Carter and Marjoe Gortner (now a religious minister) called Bobby Jo and the Outlaw.
Bobby jo (Carter) walks into her mother's house (a southern family here portrayed), and her mother awkwardly tries to make conversation, and I think she was sitting holding a WT fanning herself with it:
"Some o' them Jehovah's Witnesses stopped by today . . . " (paraphrased)

I seriously doubt they even have a "Rover" up on Mars. The terrain looks more like some of the desert places I ride my quad at. The life they found was a field mouse. JK

"You're an apostate!"
by Swan inwhat would you do in a situation like this?.
you're in a hurry, so want to just grab something quick for lunch in a nearby fast food restaurant and then eat back at your desk while you work.
there was a woman standing in front of the condiments area.

And would you mind not making a public scene it brings reproach on Jehovah's name.. Now get your ass out the way I'm hungry!
Ha ha ha, that's how I would handle it.
I know it is only a matter of time before all those I formerly associated with in the org get wind that I am an apostate. My wife will go ape-sh@t just like that sister you ran into in the shop. My kids will be shunned by everyone and it will be tough, but you know what? To hell with it. It has to happen some time, and I believe it will serve to show my kids what the org is really about. They won't suffer much.
I recently ran into the PO in my ex-wife's congregation. I had written him a long-ass letter about what the kids had been through living in their mother and stepfather's JW home, and how he was an ass for aiding them in damaging the kids emotionally. I also attached a big file of court documents detailing the abuse. I walked into Kingdom Hall in my abercrombie jeans and flip flops and put the packet into his hands. Months went by and he never responded, and mind you, I have known this man since we were kids. When I bumped into him in the Office Depot, I approached him and calmly asked him why he never responded to my letter. He said, "I didn't know I was suppose to". What an ass.
That was the clencher for me. I am out, I am proud and I am about to get very loud about it.
Dont take their crap. And DO get in their faces. (I'm still in the anger stage of my exiting of the org, lol.)
Best Regards,

THE SHAME IS ON "YOU" DANSK!!!

" . . . What you have seem to forgot is your family????"
Aikon, if Dansk's kids are of legal age, he cannot do a single thing to get them out of the org but try to reach them with the truth. What exactly would you have him do? And what the hell are you waiting for when it comes to getting your family out?
I have 3 daughters, all under age still. Two of them see the truth and now only look at the meetings as a place to meet cute boys. The other, well, she still believes and it is a process to wing her from this mess called "Jehovah's messianic organization." I cannot rip her away without doing some real damage to her emotionally. Little steps are required, but I see that she is coming out of it. Some band-aids have to be taken of slowly, not ripped quickly.
Stop judging Dansk. You have walked into a hornet's nest.
Kind Regards,
Corvin
