  I rememer during the service meeting the brother had been talking about the new magazines that has arrived the the KH that week and one of them had the topic of breast cancer and showed how women can give themselves breast exams. Well Crazy Brother decided instead of reading it he would SHOW us how to give oursleves a breast exam. At first my jaw dropped that he was actually doing this and then i just laughed hysterically for the rest of the meeting

  so i'm having dinner in a bar here in olympia.

  someone said something about cults.

  then somebody else mentioned jehovah's witnesses.. to my right, the woman's ex-inlaws were all dubs.

  Yea the guy i have been dating used to be a dub. Well he was never baptized but he did go to meetings and assemblies till he was like 10 or 11. Another coincidence with him is that when i met him he told me he worked at the bank in a museum. My sister was working there and it turned out they know each other. Small world

  i went and saw the movie last night.

  y'all this is the best movie of the year.. i laughed out loud, i laughed so hard.... and i felt so emotional too.

  i didn't cry, but i empathized with the both characters.

  I saw Sideways. I agree it was very funny but i def dont agree it was the best movie of the year. I think it was a good story and good acting and funny, but not the best. Sorry :) I saw Closer as well. I am glad Natalie Portman won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar. She highly deserved it!

  there are many thing i dont regret about jw

  learning from jw about cristmas is one of them

  the jw were very open about cristmas, going against the "system" require some strenght and that in itself attracted many to the jw org.

  One,

  You say that JW's did not extensively research their own literature. But whats the point really? Wether you know a little or a lot of the organization you are a part of, you are still researching inside information. You will still end up convincing yourself this is the truth. It would be a lot more admirable on their behalf, to urge people to search outside of the box and come up with their own conclusions. I was in the Org. since i was born until i was 22. I NEVER remember being urged to research and question the decision i made to get baptized and to be a witness. In fact i remember many times, how different publications would say if you have doubts you should pray to Jah and he will rid you of these doubts and fears. I always knew that made no sense. As soon as you ask a question that implies doubt they immediately ask if you were listening to certain music or watching certain movies that might be influencing you.

  I dont know why you think that the "wordly" girls dont make sense as far as relationships go. I know this does not apply to everyone, but i know A LOT of JW couples, married or dating, who are very obvioiusly not in love and are together for the wrong reason. But because divorce is "anti-Christian" (except if there is adultery) they have to stay together in a love-less relationship. Atleast "wordly" people to know if it aint workin' toss it. In the meantime you are free to have fun, date, be physical with whomever you'd like as long as you are safe about it. People are gonna be scum wether they are witnesses or not. One doesnt make more sense than the other.

  I understand that some teaching aspects of the org. were good to learn but yes they are definetly reiterated in a more realistic manner in college. In school they do not tell you if you do something wrong "Satan might be poisining your mind". That is ridiculous. But it is something the JW's find normal.

  This is in no way to bash or to argue just my point of view. And like it was said before, everyone is free to pursue happiness and believe what they feel is good for them

  Betty, of the peace and love are so much better than field service,class

I wanted to post it to get everyones opinion on it. There are some references to different neighborhoods in NYC and some words in Spanish, but its pretty understandable in context. Here goes:
