  hypocrisy

  well my beef for the day is this.

  my mother, who claims to be a faithful dub, attends weddings and funerals in other churches, but she sits down when we are supposed to stand (ie, when a prayer is being said, when the bride is walking down the aisle, etc.).

  she is proud of herself for "making a stand".

  She was already aware but states her conscience allows her to buy there

  Ah - 'Conscience' - something that always works to the advantage for dubs some. Clever that.

  I've made my first moves to nudge my mom toward free-thought, so far ... no dice.

  What did you use TaylorS?

  Everyone has a passion and a weakness - so the ''One Document'' would depend on what that was in any individual.

  Incredible isn't - who has the conscience here? lol - NOT the dub - I know what you mean though, I'd feel bad about 'shopping' someone - BUT the Benefits System is in place for those who are genuinely in need of help - and sadly there are more people (especially elderly) who are NOT claiming what they are entitled to.

  thus in this case in particular the WTS has ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL over the Trust.

  But can they refuse to accept the monies accumulated by the tobacco investment?

  What is the most OUTRAGEOUS thing you've ever seen an apostate do?

  hey i was just wondering if some of you wouldnt mind relating some crazy stories of things that apostates have done to get attention of witnesses and break them out of the trance.

  i would think right after the 'stay alive till '75' fiasco there must have been some really pissed off and vocal people!

  You know you're NOT a JW anymore when...(add some)

  you don't automatically wake up with a headache on sunday morning.... you no longer go around (while in field service) mentally deciding what home you'll "have" after armaggedon.... every item of clothing you buy as a woman is not first assessed for its modesty value.... you no longer worry about the 144,000 watching you have sex...:).

  when on holiday you don't have to find the nearest kingdom hall asap (remember brother and sisters you are not on holiday from jehovah!!!).

  being able to laugh about having a numb ass at the assemblies from sitting and the hilarity in having to tell people that you found the meeting "uplifting" when really you were fighting sleep the whole time.... you no longer have to avoid entire sections of music stores in order to make sure you don't pick up and "demonistic" vibes from backmasked cd's.
