as a child i was raised as a jw as was my wife.
the other day we were discussing some of the things that we were.
taught or discussed at the meetings that scared the hell out of us as children.
I had nightmares of nazi-like persecutors tourturing my family in the G.T. They would ask them questions and if they got the wrong answers the nazi dude would blow the head off of some other family member. I also drempt of having my face and eyes pecked to shreds and eaten by crows.

the atheist manifesto
before debating the existence of god, it is necessary to define him.
the god i grew up with was a pretty specific dude.
I'd buy your book Runningman. Awesome, awesome work.

Hopeful reformist JW... pffft hahahahahahahah!
As coined by the one and only Farkel, I'm a "Geeist". With a close runner up being "Creedish" (I read the book )

well, they came magazine selling door-knocking ingathering and judgeing witnessing today.
but first, a quick background.... my wife and i have a investment property 90 minutes away from our home (a mistake btw; always invest closer to your home!
) and we've been there (here) full time for the past several days doing some renovations.
Awesome anti-witness Quotes.. you are one bad mo-fo.

how about we let loose and spit up frothing at the mouth fury like the imaginary apostate's the j-dubs think we are?
"get the hell out of my universe you god fearing animal's!!!
there is no jehovah!
How about we let loose and spit up frothing at the mouth fury like the imaginary apostate's the J-Dubs think we are? Here goes:
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY UNIVERSE YOU GOD FEARING ANIMAL'S!!! There is no Jehovah! Worship his son Jesus instead! I’ve been sitting here in the dark in total isolation for an entire week eating bad Chinese take out, smoking joints and listening to “Dark Side Of The Moon” while scheming up ways to mess over the true religion! I mean the false religion! I was also watching an episode of “The Nature of Things” with David Suzuki before you knocked on my door! That’s right the evil “E” word, EVOLUTION, dip-shit! I’m gonna swing limb to limb like my prehistoric monkey ancestors following you guys around the neighborhood while you try to warn people of the coming destruction of this old system of things!"

hello jwd board community.
just wondering.. has anyone ever heard of a person being disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of gluttony?
isn't it ranked right up there with drunkeness, adultery, murder, etc.?.
I knew a person who ate like crazy and was huge. An elder friend of mine told me in confidence that he and some other elders were planning a judicial visit with her about the gluttony.
It was encouraging to hear the concern for her spiritual well being.

i am really,really curious as to how other people back while in the org viewed the gb.
because my oldest brother (older than me by 14 years!
) was first at the watchtower farms and then brooklyn bethel and my uncle is a member of the gb, my mother tended to flaunt these facts and look for every opportunity to go to either place with her bible studies (these terms are so weird to use after all these years lol).
Panic, your experience makes me angry. What a shitbag.

one of my jw relatives was relating to me another one of their superstitious nonsense stories designed to demonize every damn thing that doesn't fall into an approved wt list.
she was telling me about a her friend, who upon cleaning a relatives house, found a voodoo doll with a prayer to demons written on paper that it took an hour to burn.
she also related to me how in the hour it took to burn the demon paper prayer, everyone around them getting sick and falling into convulsions.. i guess she was a little perturbed that i was .
daystar, I heard that exact story only the culprit was a Cabbage Patch Kid.
