TV Anonymous... My name is Daisy Boo and I am addicted to...

by Princess Daisy Boo in

jw
friends

the style network, particularly "whose wedding is it anyway?

" and "how do i look".

sad i know, but admitting i have a problem is the first step, apparently.. so what is your sad tv addiction... share with me.

Anyone not tell or cover for somebody in the cong?

by cognac in

there was an elder that asked me to fix his computer.

i was being nosy and found out he looked at a lot of porn.

he was a nice guy and was at bethel for years... i never said anything about it....

I am currently covering up for a brother, that openly tells me that he looks for sex on the internet. He tells me he only has anal sex (with women), because having regular sex, bothers him.....what? He also love giving and receiving oral, going to brothels, and strip joints. Mind you he is a ex-bethelite pioneer, and still attends meetings/assemblies....though i think that will change. I dont see him much, he lives in L.A. (what do they put in the water over there, he was not like that in NY?) I would love to be his wing man if i hung out with him, im too much of a boy scout to do any of that on my own.

We are life long friends and he knows im inactive, so i guess he feels its ok to tell me, i honestly will never turn him in though.....its funny how things change.. i never would have thunk it.

what have jws got against beards ?

by looloo in

and it really used to annoy me that jesus and john the baptist both had such neat and well trimmed beards in the watchtower literature , how unlikley would that be in reality ?

also they never wore a suit so why do "true christians "have to wear one , is all about appearences by any chance and giving a false impression ?

Smoky

I have been growing my beard out for 5 months now....and i get a lot of heat from my family and jw friends for it.

They always ask why?, and i ask them, Why Not? but can never really give me a reason.

I tell them: "its just HAIR".

Reinstatement to inactivity.

by R.F. in

a person is disfellowshipped, works hard to get reinstated and once they finally are, they go straight to inactivity and you almost never see them in the kingdom hall again.

when i was an active jw i couldn't understand why a person would go through the process of reinstatement only to become inactive.

i understand why now .

Smoky

i've seen it before, a brotha gets disfellowshiped, starts going to all the meeting, six months later he gets reinstated, then disappears in less than a month.

I see this guy from time to time, i haven't had a chance to ask 'why go through all that, just to leave again?' Next time i see him, i'll ask.

i personally believe that he didi not want to be shunned by his family, so once he got reinstated, he just faded instead.

by First Time Voter in

jw
friends

i post under a different name on this forum, but there are some people that read this site that know who i am in person, so i am posting under a different alias so as not to get myself in hot water.. .

anyway, for the first time in over 20 years of eligibility, i voted in today's primary.

in a church!

Smoky

I voted for the first time last year at our local elections, and it was great i felt like was doing something.

This year i took off early from work, because i did not want to be late to vote. can you beleive that i never took of early for a jw meeting.

i dont know how to describe the feeling, but i dont think i ever felt this way preaching door to door.

Has anyone ever felt similar about giving blood for the first time?
