Slap Uncle Bruce Here ~ Weak Poll #1
by unclebruce ing'day rude people,
some of you are just now learning what long-suffering older posters have known all along i can be very annoying!
my rising paranoia tells me enemies are setting up all around ... golf keeps whacking me with his #12 iron, the elders keep threatening to take me to the backroom, and even the mild mannered caveman comes out to kick me in the go-nuts

Why all the danger?
Why all the strangers?
OH MY GOD...DANGER DANGER DANGER!
Christ in the Manger
Stranger Danger......

POST YOUR EXPERIENCE OF GROWING UP AS A JW....
by SWALKER ini guess that one of my first memories, about 3 years old, had to be sitting in a hard chair being made to listen to a boring talk that i didn't understand.
we weren't allowed any toys or books to look at besides the wt publications...i remember getting taken outside and beat for something i did...but i didn't even understand what i did wrong.
i remember that our car didn't have air-conditioning and during the summer how hot and sticky i was by the time i got to the kh.

So many bad memories in connection with this religion....

I guess that one of my first memories, about 3 years old, had to be sitting in a hard chair being made to listen to a boring talk that I didn't understand. We weren't allowed any toys or books to look at besides the WT publications...I remember getting taken outside and beat for something I did...but I didn't even understand what I did wrong. I remember that our car didn't have air-conditioning and during the summer how hot and sticky I was by the time I got to the KH. We had to cram 6 or 7 family members in one car and I usually had to sit on the edge of the seat the whole way there! We were usually running late as it would take forever to get everyone ready with only 1 bathroom to use! So we would be going 60 or 70 miles an hour down these old country roads and I remember several close calls where we almost wrecked. Everyone would agree that an angel had saved us. It probably had nothing to do with the fact that whoever was driving was still trying to tie their necktie or lace their shoes or something to that effect. A lot of times we almost ran out of gas, but again everyone would agree that the angels were watching out for us!
I absolutely HATED going in service when I was little. I wanted to stay home on Saturday mornings and watch cartoons and would make up almost any story to stay home. Usually, my mom didn't buy it!!! I had to be near death to miss a meeting or service. Mom would let us keep the money that we got for our placements so that was some motivation for me to try to "sell" as many publications as I could! We'd stop at some old country store on the way home and I'd at least get some candy!
Mom is 80 now, and the other day, she wanted to take a walk around the property they own as she felt that it would be her last time to do so. I took her down to the stream that runs on the edge of the property line (which is a trek through the woods!) and where I spent a lot of time as a kid playing. She looked all teary-eyed and said, "I wish I would have brought you kids down here for picnics on Saturday's instead of going out in service! I wasted all that precious time that I could have spent with my kids selling books for a corporation."

Getting married in the kingdom hall ( ..."have you had sex?")
by slimboyfat in.
we plan to get married in the kh in the autumn.
will the elders quiz us as to whether we have had sex beforehand?.

SWALKER
Kingdom Hall weddings are sooooo boring!!! Why would anyone want to have one there??? This is your wedding day...have some fun!!!
Why not at a beautiful park or ornate building or something??? There are tons of places for rent now that are showplaces for weddings!!! The KH has so many rules! You can't do this... or that.... why put yourself through that?

When is America going to start Protesting???? It's hard to believe that this administration is going to be able to change the 1st admendment to the Constitution while everyone sits by and justs lets it happen!!!!! It's as if people have "spaced" out and just don't see what is happening or worse, don't care...

Movie: The Truman Show = Jehovahs Witnesses? Anyone seen this movie?
by Trojan inby now, i realize there are a couple of good movies that help to understand the situation a jw finds himself in, once he finds out the truth about "the truth".
like: the village, the island, stepford wifes.
i find that these movies help me to understand the situation of being trapped in a cult and the mixed emotions about finding out and the courage and strenght needed to leave.

I rented this movie for my elderly mother to watch...I kept having to pause it as she was so overcome with emotion on seeing how it fit the JW mentality. We only made it about 3/4's of the way through!!! She broke down crying and I didn't want her to have a heart attack or anything! It is very powerful for a JW to watch that is in the fading process!!!
