  typically ridiculous.

  last saturday, me and a friend from the hall decided to go to nc state fair together.

  i have been told that the state fair is not a big deal in other areas of the country, but here in these parts, it means alot to us, expecially since we live in/near the capital city.

  about the friend: he's a year younger than me, and we go to the same school.

  Then I wished him the best, and told him I'd see him at book study.

  
  

  
  I'm laughing my ass off over here!

  But seriously, his argument that rejecting good association is as bad as engaging in bad association is ridiculous on its face and even more absurd under this set of facts. Presumably he sent his daughters out after you because you're good association, because he wouldn't send them out with someone who was bad association, right? And were you good association the previous week when the daughters ignored you at the Hall or did going to the state fair turn you into good association? Because if attending the fair didn't magically turn you into good association and if he believes that rejecting good association is as bad as engaging in bad association, it sounds like he's better have a sitdown with those two daughers of his. He's a real deep thinker, that Brother Elder Dad.

  Renting movies, did you really chose what was OK for Christians to watch?

  i remember at the hall, there was a speech where the brother said that 90% of movies weren't for christians.

  the way he talked, about 90% of movies had sex in it or violence or anything that christians shouldn't watch.. funny thing is that every time i was invited to watch a movie with the jw's, there was plenty of violence in the movie they chose, and it didn't seem to bother them whatsovever.. gee, i rented lots of movies with sex and violence, and it didn't bother me at all.

  Do you JW's believe that during the 1000 yr reign that all the dead will JW

  i was wondering especially from some of the old timers out there jw's or ex-jw's that really understand the jw's concept of the reserrected dead during the 1000 reign of jesus christ.

  do they believe that the people brought back from the dead will have to convert to jw's in order to live on for eternity?

  i know this sounds like a stupid question but i was talking to a jw's elder the other day and he told me that people like my grandmother who was a "devout born-again baptist" would have to study and become a jw's in the 1000 year reign before she could enter into paradise.

  My question then is: So if Witnesses and non-Witnesses who die now, both get a resurrection here on earth, why should anyone go to 5 meetings a week, go banging on doors every waking moment and obey all the insane rules and regulations that the WTS puts on their shoulders if you're going to get a resurrection anyway?

  Mary, I always thought that was the importance of stressing that the end will be here any second now. You know, like they're using an "Act Now While Offer Lasts! Supplies Are Limited! This Offer Is Not Available In Stores!" approach to peddling eternal life on a paradise earth. If I'm wrong about that, someone please correct me.

  You all must remember the famous one with the young pioneer "sister" calling on the door of a serial killer all by herself, and finding out later that the reason she hadnt been attacked was because there were 2 tall, burly men standing behind her, as observed by the potential killer? Two bad-ass angels standing behind her!! yeah !!!

  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I remember that one! Good times (okay, not really).

  did you escape BEFORE baptism?

  .

  i am of the "born into it but got out of it before baptism class"......listening to so many of the horror stories on this site, i often feel like we are the 'lucky ones'..... we realized at a very young age how wrong and absurd this belief system was and ran away before making the psychological investment of baptism while simultaneously avoided the disastrous consequences of getting df'd......are we the minority here???

  just curious!

  I was also born in but never baptised. The one good thing about spending most of my youth in a congregation that didn't have any kids besides my siblings and me was the lack of peer pressure to get dunked.

  That bit about including "Official" in your metatags for the sole purpose of misleading search engines seems easily defeated. The site quotes passages from their "Official" publications, does it not?

  "They loved to talk about sex and insisted on having relations with me. It was shocking. I was married. I did not want to be unfaithful and told them so. It did not help. Once an invisible force overpowered me, touched and squeezed my body, and even bit me. I felt wretched."

  She actually summoned the spirit of Wilt Chamberlain...

  So, did she at least get privately reproved for submitting to unclean acts with demons?

  I use Smurf windchimes to torment demons by simultaneously attracting them to and repelling them from my house. Demons hate that.
