It's so sad, but sometimes it seems like they are looking for someone to use as an example to the cong. "sis so-and-so fell into Satan's grasp" but they never tell how they didnt do their part. Just like they do all that spying and stuff to find out the dirt being done (if any) but can't find time to HELP.....pitiful group they are......and not ALL of them...just MOST of them.....

Slow to help....Quick to punish!
by FreedomFrog inok...thought this was interesting.. mom called this morning practically begging me to go to the jc meeting that's coming up this weekend.
i explained that i had asked 6 different elders to get a study started with me within a span of 4 years because i was "feeling weak".
each time i asked for a study i would say "i need help because i'm losing faith".

Do ALL men cheat??
by ChakkaConned ini was watching an old eddie murphy hbo special a few weeks ago where he was talking about relationships.
in his bit, he went off on how all men cheat on their wives and girlfriends.
he was adamant that even the nicest of guys will take the opportunity to cheat if given the chance and that women need to understand that this is the way it is, 100% of the time.

I used to hate that movie and my ex wanted to watch it often (when he wanted a good laugh)...but anyway notice i said EX....i'd laugh at all the other parts of the show but when it got to that part i always told him to fast forward and he'll be like why? well first of all, I didn't trust him in the first place and he always got such a kick out of that part of the show, so i would ask him and he would of course deny...but when it got to the part about men..imagine your girl with your best friend...he would get quiet.and i would be laughing...but guess what......i was right about not trusting his ass....he was cheating..cuz after we broke up..he had a confession concious and told me about it thinking it would make me feel because he was being honest we could try to make up...but it only pissed me off more so..but we had broken up so i was like oh well.....and guess what else.....ha ha....i did end up sleeping with his best friend (only after we had been apart for almost 6 months and he had another g/f)......his favorite comedy became true life...unfortunately

Sex before marriage for me....didn't feel like playing the I'm sorry and I won't have sex again until I'm married game with the JC and told them to do what they had to do with a very non-carish attitude. So I was Df'd. That was almost 6-7 yrs ago. My parents and many of my mom's sis's are dubs and my aunts are the only ones that really shun me...My dad on the other hand did it for the longest but recently he has been coming around...even bought me a gift last month (xmas present perhaps) but has been talking to me lately even invited me to his house on the disquise of helping do some work...lol..i don't care..i think he's finally coming around and i'm so happy......my mom never shunned me but drives me crazy thinking i'm gonna come back one day....Never gonna happen.....
Just yesterday while registering for school, i saw a dub there and i know she saw me cuz everytime i glanced in her direction she was eyeing me...very eerie of course....guess she was trying to get a mental picture to go run back and tell the others gossipy sisters...but during the course of registering...she ended up coming sit in ( i know it wasnt the only empty chair because i saw other ones that were empty) the chair right next to me....and thank god before she could start any of that 'we really miss you and wish you would come back' mess...they called my name and i was gone....oh yeah..her dub son was there too looking str8 ghetto...extra baggy pants...too big shirt..big out of style gold chain.....yeah very Jehovah Witnessey attire...and i'm quite sure he's baptized not positive tho...but it still pissed me off that they still play that i can't talk to you game because im still a dub and you're bad and wicked..oh well..enough of my ranting...

They say they don't celebrate Xmas, but...???
by JH inevery year, on dec 25th, witnesses in our area gather at a book study group, and they have a dinner together.
although they say that they don't celebrate christmas, why do they gather on dec 25th like catholics do and share dinner together?
i'm sure that neighbors think that it's a christmas gathering.. i know that there isn't any christmas decorations there, or gifts being given, but i find it odd, that every year, some book study will organize a dinner on december 25th.

I don't quite remember exactly how the conversation went, but years ago when i was a young little rebellious JW..( i think around 9 or 10) i was upset because my mother wouldn't let me go by fireworks for July 4th. And she went on and on about fireworks are wrong and the bible says we shouldn't celebrate July 4th. Well to show her how much I pay attention at all the numerous bible studies/meetings i replied something to the terms of "you're lying because the bible doesn't say anything about not celebrating July 4th or popping firecrackers because they weren't even invented then when Moses wrote the bible"....she getting very pissed is all i vaguley remember and my non-JW laughing his ass off the rest of the night because i said it in front of everyone.....needless to say....my brother and i were always allowed to pop fireworks "THE DAY AFTER" the major holiday.....
i hope i don't get my dad in trouble by any lurkers in here but he showed up saturday to partake of all the christmas fixings at my aunts house...even took home a few plates...he even talked to me...because i was surely thinking in my head..if he can come in here to eat this xmas food and talk to everybody else and still play that shunning *hit with me...he's got to be kidding....but it was still awkward...but maybe he's coming around...been hearing about alot of un-JW like things he's been doing lately...next time imma go ahead and let him know i don't appreciate him still playing that shunning game with me...

Lurkers! Why You Need To Leave the Watchtower Now!
by metatron ini have an elderly relative that's a faithful witness.
she has attempted to take her own life on one or more occasions.. i avoid controversies with her because she is seriously ill and is totally dependent on the organization's existence.

It's snowing in Dallas!!! :D
by Elsewhere in.
never in my life have i ever seen it snow around christmas time where i live.
it's just a little and it will likely only collect a bit on the grass... but if we're lucky we will get to have a (sorta) white christmas morning!

it's asking for a miracle but i wish we could get some snow here so they can shut everything down like they usually do....but with this job more than likely i'd still have to come to work...shoot......it rarely rarely snows here...i think the same cold front that is in texas right now is headed here tonight and tmr....today we have the rain and tonight the low temps so all we may get is the icy roads..which is much more dangerous than snow.....it was 76 freaking degrees here yesterday and everyone was walking around in shorts and tonight it is forecasted to be in the low 30's.....is that weird or what?

What would you like to do if you knew it wouldn't kill you?
by Elsewhere in.
...or hurt you.. as an example: drive your car off a cliff like in the movie groundhod day, just for the hell of it.. basically something that would normaly kill you or leave you messed up real bad... but in this case you could "reset" all new again.. don't be shy... i won't think your weird if you want to blow your head off just to see what it's like.

WT WARNING EXAMPLES: Anybody see this video?
by cyber-sista inwarning examples for our times was a wt release video that came out a couple of years ago.
at the times i was given it to watch so i could know the seriousness of my daughter marrying an unbeliever (any of you who have heard my story know she had never become a believer herself, so technically was an unbeliever too, thus not qualified to marry a believer either, but made guilty by association with the jws--catch 22 situation).
anyway, the video horrified me at the time.
