  THE BORG WANTS YOUR NUMBER

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my elderly dub aunt (who's the biggest whiner the world has ever seen) came over tonight to first of all, whine about how her neighbour shuts her kitchen cupboard doors in the most annoying way possible and her dog barks and what was she supposed to do about it?

  anyway, as soon as these monumental problems were solved, she informed me that at the bookstudy the other night, the conductor told everyone to "stay after the prayer" as he had 'something important to announce.

  " naturally everyone did this, all the while wondering if the red phone at patterson was in direct contact with jehovah himself as the study was being conducted.

  The GB member said that "many people aren't going to like it", but they hope that everybody shows obedience.

  Maybe they'll start tithing...as if they haven't drained enough from the flock.

  how can someone be 2 persons at once?

  Ever hear of cloning? Remember: with Jehovah, nothing is impossible. (Mark 10:27)

  Did Leaving the Organization Make you Feel *Alive*?

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you have moments after you left the organization when you felt alive for the first time?

  when you realized that you had just been drudging around with your head down, enduring rather than living.

  when that huge burden was lifted from your shoulders and you saw the world not for the place of darkness and pain that the witnesses made it out to be but for all the wonder in it?

  You've got to be taught to be afraid
  
  
  Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
  
  
  And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
  
  
  You've got to be carefully taught.

  Sounds like the reptilian GB.

  My mom's elder husband told us that those who leave the organization happy are drunk with rebellion and will one day sober up and will have no choice but to see the error of their ways.

  Yeah, I sobered up after leaving the borg and saw the error of my ways....I shoulda left sooner.

  Just had to have my cat of 16 years put to sleep. He had developed a fibrosarcoma on his back alongside his spine and I was told it was basically inoperable, so I tried improving his quality of life by having him hydrated and getting a steroid shot to encourage eating. Still, he began to lose weight rapidly over the last month or so as the cancer began robbing his body of all the nutrients he was taking in from his food. I wanted to wait until he died in his sleep, but the vet told me there were other possibilities. 1) The tumor could break and at that point he would be in tremendous pain, 2) The cancer could spread to his lungs, at which point he would begin wheezing for breath, 3) In his present state of just drinking water and not eating, he would starve to death. So rather than allow him to suffer any further, I went with the odds and had him put to sleep. Never want to go through this again.

  Checking out your notes brings back memories of convention imprisonment: keep focused on the speaker, do not allow distractions to impede your concentration, refrain from using the facilities unless necessary (?!?!?), no talking while walking in the corridors during the program, bring your own meals...do not purchase meals from outside vendors/restaurants, return to your seat during the musical interlude, wear your ID badges ALWAYS --- talk about robotic!

  WTBTS or IBSA

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the other day, i was in a local half-price bookstore.

  just out of curiosity, i went down the 'religious' isle, and sure enuf, i saw a couple of publications by the witnesses wedged in with the usual other things, bible-related.. i also saw a spanish printed something-or-other... a recent publication (although i don't remember the copyright date).

  i was looking at the information, and it said something like.... published by the watchtower bible and trach society and international bible students association ... etc.
