  Sport: bringing out the worst in JWs

  by Pleasuredome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my time involved with the jws, i used to play a lot of football nearly every week with the bros. i used to find it amazing and laughable how some, including elders, would start name calling and getting aggresive, sometimes to the point of making threats.

  it made me realise that football and other sports can show the true character of individuals.

  has anyone here experienced things like this when playing sports with jws?

  Playing sports with dubs sucked ass. Some of the choppiest people I've ever played with.. the biggest babies too.

  social retard

  by MerryMagdalene in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i finally figured out why i'm so socially retarded...it just hit me.. here i was sitting and wondering why i have such a hard time meeting new people, making friends, thinking of relevent things to say, and so on.

  it really is painful and scary for me.

  i was told who i could talk to, who i couldn't talk to, what i could say, what i couldn't say.

  Did You Feel Superior To Those People Who Only Ever Came To The Memorial?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we did.. we used to call them "memorial saints".

  they were the fringe members, the fallen away, the disfellowshipped, those who had their own private pipeline to jehovah, bible studies, good-will, disinterested husbands, delinquent kids, prophets, lunatics and uncle tom cobley and all.. in short, all the weirdo's that could be mustered together on just one night of the year.

  but it got the numbers up.

  I dragged my now ex witness roomate to last years memorial because I thought it would be good for him at the time (brainwashed). All I heard from everyone after the memorial was "does he really think going to one meeting is going to save his life at Armageddon". I quit going to meetings not long after.

  Question for those raised a JW

  by New Worldly Translation in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering if anybody feels like i do that if i hadn't been raised a jw i would never have embraced the religion.

  i know it's easier to say in hindsight after i know the truth about the org but honestly i don't think i would have given them the time of day.

  i'm not a religious person or even a spiritual person and being a jw always caused a conflict in my mind.

  I never would have gotten involved with any religion unless I seriously checked out all the criticisms of it from ex members and still thought it was the truth, and it didn't hurt anyone.

  My parents never had the internet though.

  I think you should try to help her out of the cult and to move on with her life.

  The optomistic part of me hopes that this is all just an elaborate dream. The realistic part accepts that this might be all there is. I want to make the best of it for me and the people I know.

  So, no. F**k no.
