I'm sorry but I don't see the problem.;)
She noticed you were sketching. She gave you some free paper.
Think about it.
You can pioneer (see what I did there?) a new art genre with tiny surfaces vandalized to become small apostate artworks.

The beard issue
by Ray Frankz inthis is my second topic here.
sorry for this biiig post.
i would like to tell you guys about one of the things that bothered me most, despite of being something quite simple, but since it affected me directly, so.... well, being a ministerial servant, i knew the bad view the jw in general have towards beards.

I remember similar things happening in my congregation related to hairstyles. If you shaved your sideburns, you couldn't carry microphones. Or skinny ties.
I remember some young guys having a real issue with it. Looking back, I think it was their wake-up call and was not even the main issue they had with the religion. Something along the lines of, "You have f*(&)d up my life enough. The line must be drawn here. No further."

They remind me of the FLDS' May-December romances. It's definitely a thing. One day maybe I will put some thought and research into figuring out what sick sociological forces are at work there.
Obviously, relationships with age differences can be healthy, but in the jw world, everything's already f^(&d up and the power differential makes it worse.

WHY. The. F^(& would anyone want a bible autographed by leadership of a cult that claims to be superior for having no leadership?! Ah, the hypocrisy!
LOL @ the dishwasher analysis!
Little sisters rocking Vancouver
And just BTW...how this cult tries to normalize itself. Sleeveless dresses? No hosiery? That was NOT allowed in my day.

The session starts now with music videos. Music. Videos. Playing christain pop! I swear this was neil diamond esq christain pop!
The drama was now in video form... ok fair enough. But it was a soap opera! A strait up daytime soap opera, complete with a trailer that said "previously on remember the wife of lot" and credits!
How could there be a second episode to that story? What would the story line be--she turns into a salt lick?
The songs before and after were more christain pip, complete with built in clap lines! Nobody actually clapped, but the track sounded as if it was included!
LMAO! This is HILARIOUS!

Yeah I had people come to me when they started to wake up for a shoulder to cry on--people who had been HORRIBLE to me. And I stupidly helped them. I was way younger and way dumber back then.
They can all f*&^ off as far as I'm concerned.

evilbible.com is a great site that has a lot of this compiled and indexed.
One vow I made to myself when I left the borg is I would dedicate myself to truth, even if it was painful, because I just didn't want to believe any more lies.
I point to the evilbible.com site whenever people make the misguided statement that Jebus was all lovey dovey and the Old Testament is the only hateful part of the bible. The truth is the NT, and Jebus, are very hateful, and anyways Jebus endorsed the OT and old practices.
The bible is a violent, racist, misogynistic, homophobic anthology of hate crimes and rambling nonsense.

Baptism Nullification Letter Template
The above template includes official notification that they could be arrested if they make contact in any fashion.
There are no guarantees with any course of action because the org makes, changes and ignores the rules whenever they wish.

Hotel California
by Normalfulla ingrowing up was ok being a jw or so i thought, i guess u accept life as it comes when yr a kid , anyhow i played guitar and my elder dad (who is currently df) would forbid me to learn hotel california or even if it came on the radio he would run and quickly turn it off , .
he explained he had heard a tape recording at work that explained that this song along with stairway to heaven and others had back masking on it and when played backwards would say stuff like "satan has his own congregation " or other stuff like that , now this was not a jw sanctioned audio talk just some other christian production .. none of dad's other peers felt the same and growing up it illustrated to me dad's propensity to be influenced and convinced about something seemingly innocuous to others.. fast forward to a year or so ago and i showed him a section from the eagles documentary where don henley talks about the meaning of hotel california and how much trouble christian evangelists gave the song due to their own interpretation etc , so completely refuted the claims my father had told me were fact as a kid ,from the horses mouth so to speak .
his answer was ,"well of course he'd say that he wants to save face ,he wouldn't admit the truth !".

It's not even logical at face value. How could our brain interpret backwards masking when it was not being played backwards?
It was always a friend of a friend of a friend who managed to play records and cassettes backwards. Nobody could ever reproduce it in front of me.
