Oh The Irony
by FedUpJW in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so i sat and suffered through the clam tonight.. everything was pretty much as dull, repetitious, and simple-minded as i have come to expect, but i was really struck by the mind-numbing idiotic comments made during the part about shunning family.. then came the book study (no real bible use) loaded with self-congratulatory b.s about how wt never has, and never will beg, solicit, or ask for money.

i could feel myself beginning to channel the old tasmanian devil cartoon character as i listened to that garbage while remembering the jdubya tv shows about how more money was going out than coming in and give more.

but finally came the most ironic (to me) part of the entire meeting and i could not help bursting out in a loud belly laugh that got me many dirty looks and heavy frowns.

Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?
by Coded Logic in
1. social
2. entertainment
so i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.

all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.

but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

Are you angry for having been a JW?
by Half banana in

2. beliefs
i remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.

we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.

just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..

Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
witnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.

everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

i was baptised on 1st sept 1990, 25years ago today.
