  What irritates you?

  by writerpen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what irritates me is when the car in front of me on the interstate leaves his turning signal on for 8 miles.

  i was so irritated at this coming back from lunch today that all i could think of was, 'wouldn't it be great if i had a rocket installed in this little car so i could blow his car off the road?

  ' why do we get pissed at little stuff like this?

  People who go on vacation with me and then bitch about everything, cause it's different from home. Well, then stay home and don't ruin my vacation!!!

  there are hundreds and hundreds of permitted extra-curricular activities for jw's to enjoy.

  activities that have nothing to do with religion or worship where jw's can really have a ball!.

  so, for all of you people who sometimes wonder if you should perhaps go back, lets all list the permitted fun things that any witness can do in his / her spare time.. i'll get the ball rolling:.

  BBQ's.

  My mum used to give them. Big barbeques all summer long for the entire congregation.

  And: Rent a movie and watch it with a group of sisters.

  by Fire Dragon in

  2. friends

  my jw dad called me this morning and told me that he found my jw uncle dead, face-down on the floor in his home.

  he's taking it hard.

  i was shocked to hear him say that he wanted me to be with the family.

  I am sorry for your loss Fire Dragon. But it is good to see that your dad called you. Perhaps this will make him realise that life is just too precious to let anything stand between the both of you.

  Hugs, Viv.

  Never a truer word!

  by ozziepost in

  2. friends

  ironic words are found in a current article on the wts official site:

  you probably cherish your right to believe whatever you wish to believe.

  by exercising this right, earth's six billion inhabitants have produced an amazing diversity of beliefs.

  Based on your post I would say that you are apparently not sure who you are yourself, not comfortable with yourself, nor happy. I am sorry for you.

  For the record........Jesus Christ was right!

  by The Devil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know i was very content to just sit back on my dark throne of fire and let everything fall into place but jesus christ had to come along and mess things up for me.. i saw his post about how the jehovahs witnesses are not affiliated with him and god and yes it is true they are right.

  for the record the group known as jehovahs witnesses are under my command and do my bidding.

  as you well know they use fear to convert their members.

  Formal Introductions

  by Cardinal Fang in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been lurking around this place for a good long while now, and i've even posted now and again under another handle, but i thought i'd start afresh and 'do it right' this time by making with the formal introductions.

  i was going to post this in the friends forum, but i'm a little bit shy for that (it took me many months to make it as far as junior member - that's how shy i am, lol).. anyway, my story... i was born into the wt - my mother's been a baptised jw for over 30 years now, and my dad's been what i like to call a 'camp follower' for the same length of time - although the wt nearly did for me right at the start - there were complications prior to the birth which put mine and my mother's life in danger involving the blood issue (how an org which preaches against abortion and even the 'morning after pill' can effectively sanction the death of an unborn child and its mother for want of a transfusion is an outstanding piece of doublethink that never ceases to astonish me...).

  my three older sibs (all wee ones when my mother was 'assimilated') went their way and did the 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll' thing for varying lengths of time (they're all now 'reassimilated'), while i remained the 'good boy' *slaps self round the head* .

  Hi there Cardinal Fang,

  Not born and bred in the Borg myself, but I was well assimilated never the less.

  Nice to meet you, Viv.
