Crimpolene hipsters (circa 1971) and six inch lapels on double breasted jackets, bobbly socks and well worn, often-repaired ministry shoes was the attire of a certain elder that came to my "aid"
NO, NO, NO, that did nothing for me!

NEVER MEET ALONE WITH A SISTER!!!
by minimus indo you know why the society says this?
regardless of whether the meeting is for the purpose of shepherding, sharing bible advice,or simply giving encouragement, "she could develop romantic feelings for the elder.it is possible for an elder to develop improper feelings for a sister he is comforting or counseling.
it is especially important never to meet with a sister alone when the sister being assisted has been a victim of abuse, suffers from depression,or for any other reason is in a delicate emotional state.a woman in such an emotional may be more vulnerable and may be prone to develop improper feelings toward an elder meeting with her.

WobbleHead
by bay64me ini'd like to dedicate this post to a wobble-headed 'brother' that i once shared congregations with.. he, (being a ministerial servant son of an elder,) age=approx 28,obviously had a magnitude of social deficiencies, most of which were tolerable as, we could choose when we were in his immediate company.. his main problem was his short fuse when around children as he seemed to deem it necessary to pin them up against a wall and slap them across the face while out on field service!
(which is pretty bad in itself.
}......but that's a story for another time!.

Another of his embarrasingly skanky, ritual spastifications is when , after he'd given a 'talk' or read out the announcements, upon his descent from the platform,he would give dramatic eye-contact with his mummy and daddy and in-between -times,whilst wobbling his stupid fuzzy head he would scan the congregation in his search for approval from any-fucker that would be willing to give it to him.
Is there "always one" or were we purely unlucky to have such a twat in our midst?

JW Family, How Do They Drive You Up The Wall?
by Celtic inmany of us still have jw family still very much held within the congregation.
personally, i love my family but they do have this uncanny ability at times to absolutely drive me nuts in sheer exasperation.

Oh my gawd, taking a trip down memory lane here!
Still got quite a few 'LPs' and singles-coloured vinyl, i might add! Got nothing to play them on at the moment though, C.Ds rule here.
The Damned were the first punk band I ever saw, I was right down the front near the stage and got showered in spit as Dave Vanian dodged it!
Saw Generation X three times, (fell in love with Billy Idol)
Your list is conjuring up all kind of memories, did you also like The Dead Kennedys? Crass?

Is there anything that could make you go back?
by sleepy inis there anything that could make you go back?.
what do you think, is there any change of belief or change of circumstance that could make you return to the jw fold?.
i cant see anything that could make me go back,but i was thinking mabye some of you religious types would go back if they changed some doctrinal things,or if they stopped banning blood.. how about if a family member was dying and hoped to see you in paradise would you go back for a while just to make them feel happy?

anewlife.......
sad to say, you're right. I was looking for structure, a place to belong, a superior authority, the ultimate say-so. I always wanted acceptance and a sense of 'belonging' mainly because of my very dysfunctional childhood.
They came along and I swallowed it...............at great cost!
They raped my vunerable mind and I am now suffering the consequences of that.
Hey ho, i'm dealing with it!

DO YOU STILL LOVE JEHOVAH?
by minimus inlately, i notice quite a few comments of disillusionment.
some say they are no longer religious.
others say they are not sure if god really exists.others are trying to come to terms with life outside of the watchtower.

I don't think about it anymore, I've closed that part of my brain - thinking process - mind - heart - place - whatever ?
