  Give Reasons Why You're Happy That You're No Longer A Witness

  by minimus in

  one reason is that you don't have to go to boring meetings 5 times per week and field service where you knock on doors knowing no one will answer.

  you know how the best part of the story of pinocchio is when he becomes a REAL BOY? welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, "i have no strings to hold me down..." you know the routine. japedo is like the apostate TM who showed me the UN scandal which made me start researching other things which led to my own realboyism.

  It is not for the rank and file to reason why, but to do, do, do, do, do, and die.

  wow... so eloquently put. if you ever hear this in a song, i won't pay you royalties because it was never copyrighted... but i will certainly remember this thread... hehe

  Jehovah's Witnesses GET CRAZY!!

  do you guys know any very obviously crazy jw's?

  i've noticed that they have been "flocking" to the org.

  over the past few years especially.

  i think it attracts people with handicaps, be they mental or physical. the hope of the paradise make so many people long for the time when they can be themselves, only better (Bally's???). and the stipulation that u have to do it with the Org, makes them stick around

  lets get the elders stoned

  by what_Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  thinking about vallis assembly post on the other board made me think of an evil idea.

  suppose you were at an assembly eating lunch with the elder about to give the next talk (one of those two hour groaners).

  all of a sudden he leaves to use the bathroom and you have a chance to sneak an illegal narcotic of your choice into his food*.

  JW at meetings vs. JW at social events

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you noticed how jw switch modes depending on where they are?

  they seem a lot more 'normal' at social gatherings than while they are engaged in 'theocratic' activities.. it's like there's a spiritual switch that they turn on and off.

  zombie mode/human mode

  ha! i guess it depends who you ask... some witnesses take the JDUB baggage everywhere they go... bowing their heads for minutes at a time before a meal in a restaurant, leaving mags as tips (wherever tips are expected), preaching when someone toasts or even just clinks their glasses... a lot of Jdubs are the same boring meeting-goers in social events. the rest are leading a double life!

  WT Rule: Disfellowshipped Should Shun One Another!

  by Swan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anybody remember this?

  two people who are disfellowshipped can't talk to one another and can't even carpool to the meeting.

  i seem to remember this vaguely mentioned in a previous thread.

  i've heard that rule too, but a friend of mine who was df'd (and actually only got reinstated this past summer) was only allowed to hang around other df'd people. they would sit together at the hall and talk after and for some reason didn't get in trouble for it. i guess it depends on the elders in the hall. is there any official word from the watchtower on this practice?
