  Crazy JW urban legend

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a sure guarantee that this was bogus (really, any reasoning is required at all?

  ) was that it did the rounds applied to john denver, annie lennox and others.. basically, they relied on satan (oh yes) for their musical ability (i knew it) and any jws in the audience would be asked to leave because ... (drum roll) ... they blocked the signal to satan so couldn't perform with them present!.

  anyone else remember that gem?.

  Oh Gheesh,

  I remember that one. Only heard it once about John Denver getting his ability from Satan and asking JW's to leave. But I heard many times about his asking if there were any JW's in the audience and then asking them to leave. Also heard a lot about Blue Oyster Cult and Led Zeppelin being inspired by demons. Oh.....and how about the one big Beatles album from 1965....Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band? There was one person on the cover (can't remember his name right now) I think it was Alastair something. He supposedly helped channel the Beatles to the spirit world for their inspiration.

  I forgot..........I bought at a discount store those plastic discs that made moving heavy furniture easy. They had a sign "As Seen On TV". Those things are fantastic and I would like to buy more of them if I ever see them again.

  I bought my Ninja Kitchen System two years ago and love it. It is everything they claim. I can take a piece of chuck roast and in less than 15 seconds, it is ground meat for the freshest burger ever. It makes snow cone ice in 10 to 15 seconds also.

  That was my supernatural experience. But I did see a UFO in 1992 that blew my mind. It was a silver ball shaped object in the bright blue summer sky that sped so fast, I could not believe it. I blinked my eyes and it was gone. WE ARE NOT ALONE!

  In 1965 LSD gave me one hell of a trip and these days as I'm becoming an old man, I wouldn't mind trying it again. My life was ruined by the WT.

  Do You Often See JWs Out In The Ministry?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to always see them preaching.

  now, it seems as though they rarely are around.

  the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..

  I rarely see them around but I know they've been to my door. They leave there "scat" (tracts) behind. And about 2 months ago there was an unexpected knock and I answered it without thinking and lo and behold, two elders from my former KH came to call on me. I haven't seen these guys for over 10 years. I moved 5 years ago and no one from my former life knew where I was. With the internet today, you can find out where anyone lives today and I guess that is what they did. One thing I can say about these two is that they were great guys when I served and socialized with them I was caught so off guard that all I did was ask how they were doing but they were strictly business. All I said was that I'm not interested in talking at all and closed the door.

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.

  like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.

  he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.

  My wife is truly a non-jw...

  by Jim_TX in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a little bit of background (for those of you who came in late).... i used to be a jw (no joke!).

  i married a jw wife.

  we were married for about 20 years, and i couldn't take it anymore - since i was no longer a jw, and didn't believe in their doctrines anymore.. i got divorced in 2002. since that time, i was solo, and then met a nice non-jw woman.

  Traveling snitches and the tentacles of Rutherford's takeover

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the 50's, 60's, 70's, when i was an active jw, the traveling overseers both district and circuit,(before elder arrangement) came around to visit local congregations.. two points to be made about this.

  when pastor russell died, rutherford wanted federal control of the varied congregations for himself.

  under russell, all the groups were independent and unencumbered by an organization.
