Mothers Rules for Everlasting Life

by Stacey in

jw
friends

just a little something that i wrote for a writing class that i was taking last year.

and really, they are not my rules.

therefore we must follow what the organization says and not celebrate our birthday.

Goodness Gracious.....I am pissed. That story just fully reminded me of what my life was like. To the TEE!!! Every time my mother or her bible study conductor told me I was not allowed to do something...I would get sad or angry and ask why. The explanation? Just as you said in your story...."because GOD and His Organization say it's wrong." I really feel for these poor children who have to suffer this. I remember very shortly before I left, I had befriended this little girl. I was about 16, and she was only 11. I would listen to her comment, and preach at the door, and tell me stories about service, and recite scriptures. I wanted to cry...thinking about all the opportunities she would miss out on...to gain some valuable future. I had already missed out on them. So one night after the book study, I leaned over to her and said..."I know that what I am going to tell you will sound very strange and funny, but LISTEN to me! I don't care what anyone tells you...STAY in school! Choose something to study that you will enjoy doing, and GO TO COLLEGE!!!! Don't let your parents or anyone else make that decision for you. It is only between you and God. I know that God will understand if you don't want to pioneer forever, and wish to go to school instead." She looked at me with an oddly blank face. "Pioneering is my goal. I want to make Jehovah happy." , she said. I started to cry....because the damage of brainwashing had already been done.

Comment to Fredhall

I think that you are the biggest hypocrite out there! If you were really "Loyal" to "the faithful and discreet slave", number ONE, you would not even be on this site! Don't you know that sites like this can 'damage' your spirituality and plant seeds of doubt in your head? And TWO, you would not be name-calling and arguing with others on this site. That is not in 'harmony' with the holy spirit.
So I suggest you just flat out shut your freakin piehole!!!!!!

To Brutus,
Thank you for posting this. I went to the website and printed out the pages in their entirety. When I read some of the things in there, I was floored!!! I had never even heard of most of these things!!!! For instance, the Beth Sarim thing. I've herd other talk about it, but I never actually knew of it origins. Unbelievable!! I think Judge Drunkard was on more than booze...maybe a little opium?

My Regards Everyone,
Joanne

Dumb A$$ Laws

by closer2fine in

jw
friends

in my hubby's home state these are some dumb ass laws:.

you can be legally married by publically introducing a person as your husband or wife 3 times.

it is illegal to drive without windshield wipers.

AngelofMuZiC

In Florida, it is illegal to shower in the nude. I think you all remember the law they passed in Massachusettes, prohibiting any form of obsenities in public. Remember the guy they threw in jail for a month there? Pretty retarted.

What are the most stupid JW rule?

by beroea in

jw
friends

what are the most stupid jw rule?.

what do you consider to be the most stupid rules or tradition of the jw lives?

im thinking about any kind of rule or regulative that only has one answer to the questions why:.

AngelofMuZiC

WOW...these stories have brought back a lot of memories. Once while in field service, I was REALLY cold because it was 20*F outside, and my mother did not dress my properly (i was only 5). I started to shiver violently, and the sister we were with scolded me about shivering in public...."We don't want the people at the door to get the wrong idea, do we? We don't want them to think that we are forcing you to do this, right?"

The one rule that pisses me off most is the one about not participating in school plays, because it would draw undue attention on ourselves, and take the focus off of Jehovah. If I could have been in the plays at school, I would be on Broadway by now!!!!!! And, what the hell do they consider 'dramas' to be? I guess they don't consider that drawing to much attention to oneself, because everyone sits so far away that you can't actually see what the people look like! [>:(]

I remember soooooo many times I would be watching Freddy Krueger or The Outer Limits, and my mother would run into the living room, and turn off the TV, screaming the name Jehovah, so that the demons who were jumping out of the TV screen wouldn't attack her or me. Isn't that hilarious????

Who/What Preached at Your Funeral?

by Sam Beli in

jw
friends

someone started an interesting thread about what music wed like played at our funeral.

the logical next step is to ask of what the funeral itself would consist.

since becoming an ex-jw i have been wondering what my wife (also now an ex-jw) would do if i preceded her in death.

AngelofMuZiC

WOW....what an interesting subject! I had never actually thought about, and I really should, considering that I DA'd, and my mom is still a JW. I am 19 and she is 62. I myself don't the JW's preaching to my funeral attendees about me coming back, giving them false hope. But I know that my mother would not want her funeral anywhere other than a KH. What's a girl to do???? Any suggestions???

Questions for JWs

by larc in

jw
friends

dear jw,.

i have some questions.

as i understand it, if armageddon came tomorrow, those that never heard the truth, in such places as india or china would either live through armageddon or die and be resurrected.

AngelofMuZiC

Larc,

Good questions and good points. But I think the idea that the WTS is going with is this: Those who have already died, without 'coming to an accurate knowledge of Jehovah' are the ones who have the opportunity of being resurrected, during the thousand years. There is an urgency about the preaching work because the WTS's interpretation of the scriptures that state that Jehovah's name will be made known to people of all the nations, and then the 'end' will come....is a literal interpretation. Personally...it's either a bunch of outright lies, or it's extremely misdirected good intent. I don't really believe a word of it. But I can answer your question, because as a former dub, I asked this question a few times. I hope I clarified at least a little.

My Regards,
Joanne
