I had these 2 crazy lesbiens who lived above us. The one was just a drugee bitch, and the other one didn't know how to talk, she just yelled everything. They both weighed 300+ and would get up at 5 A.M. every day, even on the weekends. They were just always loud and obnoxious. They would do stuff like vacuum at 4 in the morning, and sit above our bedroom window and yell on the balcony. I finally started being a total jerk to them. Eventually our landlord decided to join the good fight. Now I live in their old apartment, which is nicer than my old one.

I just got through reading the Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness. Good stuff. It's amazing how many other people out there have gone through the same crap.

What's next for the Watchtower in 2005?
by truthseeker inafter all the events of 2004 regarding the botchtower, what do you think will happen next year?.
i can think of a few events.. first of all, 70 years will have passed since rutherflawed took on the name "jehovah's witnesses" - a gross misapplication of that scripture in isaiah.. all the new man presses will be operational - already, the wt have increased their watchtower circulation.. "godly obedience" district convention next summer - we all know what that will be about; and don't forget the layman's km article on how to book a hotel, and not just any hotel at that either.. a new book to replace "organised to accomplish our ministry".
bro barr of the governing body turns 100 (i think this is correct).

Good call Neo. It's just another one of those things that make me shake my head. And they say they're inspired by God.

Food for Thought...
by roybatty inthe recent events in asia and the images that are being broadcast indeed are tragic.
but how would you have reacted if you had read that a million people had died.
shocked perhaps?

Good point. It's crazy how much money is wasted on stuff that doesn't matter, when so many are dying. It's sad. But that's just the theme in this world.

Congregation gossip - Why so rampant?
by OUT and about inis is just me, or did every congregation have a big (as in greater than in the non jw world) problem with this?
how have some been affected?

The gossip was unbelievable at times in the congregation I was from. You should try being marked. That was good times, as people would talk about me all the time. I was going out with a non witness girl who later became my wife. People would stare and talk about us during the meeting, as we were forced to sit apart by the elders. I would hear things that were said about me from various people, and most of it wasn't very nice. They said even worse things about my wife. Most of the gossip and ridicule came from one of the elders who thought he was really cool. He was about 31 or 32 and thought he owned the world. He seriously talked so much crap it was crazy. To this day I just hope I run into him so I can tell him off.

I don't celebrate holidays, and other "reformed JW" things about me........
by WingCommander inwhile i don't agree with the wt's views on shunning, blood transfusions, or how they conduct themselves, i can honestly say i wouldn't celebrate holidays even if i felt like it.
maybe it's that i've been brought up jw, i dunno.
halloween is sort of fun, but i know of it's pagan origins.

I hear you on the holiday thing. I quit being a JW, but even still I just feel apathetic towards the holidays. I was laughing when you said you have a goatee, and some tats. I'm sure that's a great gossip topic for the pioneers when they're sitting around in the car. You seem like a pretty cool guy. I wish my wife and I could have gone to a congregation where somebody else could have taken the heat off of my badboy image. I always had a flavor saver, you know that little tuft of hair that grows right under your lip. I always wore the crappy JC Penny suits though. I had like two of em, I spent all the rest of my money on regular clothes. I always hated dressing up. I would always be counseled that I should donate more, and should dress better for the ministry. I just hated wearing a suit jacket. Take it easy, and stick to your guns. There needs to be more people who stand up for themselves around there.

I just wanted to say hi to some people who might understand my frustrations. I quit the organization about 2 years ago. I was born into it, and stayed in it for 25 years. Then one day the frustration just boiled over. I have so much bitterness and hatred for the whole thing I don't even know where to begin. Over the course of these last 2 years I finally know what it's like to be normal, yet there's this emptiness that just won't go away. I'm trying to live life to its fullest now, because I always feel I have to make up for lost time. But no matter how hard I try I'm just angry because all I ever wanted was taken from me by a religion that I never really wanted. I wanted to play sports, go to prom, party a little, sing in a rock band, have friends to reunite with. These are all things I see other people do, and it frustrates me that my whole youth was consumed by this religion.
I keep trying, but no matter how hard I try and make the feelings of guilt go away they just keep lingering. I have gotten over some of it, yet even as I try to live a good life as a normal person, I have this ingrained sense of rejection and hate for God. It's actually hard to put into words all the mixed up feelings that I have after having my whole belief system shattered.
Does anyone else have this problem? I sometimes feel that no one understands.

I am truly sorry for your loss. As a former Jehovah's witness of 25 years, nothing they do surprises me anymore. It's sad they can't get past their own arrogance, and just do all they can to help the friends and family of the person. I understand why it's hard to go back to the kingdom hall, because they all act like they care, when usually they just want to judge you. Simply go to remember your friend, and I just want to express my sympathy to you in this time of loss.
