  JW kids who are currently in college LOVED the convention drama!

  here's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.

  OH ... and where is this particular MySpace account? I have a musician profile there myself and would love to infiltrate.

  Many many people (including my wife) didn't see it as an "anti-school" drama. Instead, they saw it more as a "think about your reasons for schooling" drama.

  are JWs allowed to shave in the under regions?

  just curious, since they control how we dress, how we're suppose to fuck, how we act.

  In fact, scientists have proven that shaving female cows in the genital area stimulates inappropriate sexual desire. Shaved cows are unable to control themselves; they even engage in masturbation and homosexuality!

  Priceless ... truly.

  Elder Condemned Me to Death

  by Grace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.

  i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.

  therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.

  Defd? Defd? Where are you?

  (crickets chirping)

  Typical ... JWs get all defensive when the facts are presented ... then quietly skulk away.

  I know because I used to do the same thing.

  The manusripts used for NWT Translation

  What this person said that that they were deliberate alterations,eg one text had been altered so it read masculine, instead of feminine.

  Of course, the Society did this with their NWT in Proverbs Ch 8 because they wanted Jesus to be Wisdom ... but Proverbs 8 portrays Wisdom as female. Sneaky bastards. -ithinkisee

  i used to try and avoid running into jw's after i was first d/f, but the past few years i have taken a different spin on it.

  at my old job as a cashier if i was the only cash open then they had no choice but to have me wait on them.

  the apprehension on their faces as they approaached was hysterical.

  Damselfly ... you sound like lots of fun.

  I know back in the day my wife would have been furious with that ... because I get flirted with alot I guess ... nowadays she just laughs it off.

  But a DF'd person? Hmmm .... yeah ... I think she would probably be pissed.

  Muslim Extremists & JWs----Living A Double Life

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  isn't it amazing to see how these people can mingle in society and in reality be living a double life?

  they may be nice to your face but ultimately, they think we (those who do not conform to their beliefs) deserve death.

  You are correct Doogie.

  I have a friend that dated a Moroccan girl and her whole family was very fundamentalist Islam. When he was with them in public and the subject of Jews or something came up they would go on about tolerance, and that "No ... of COURSE we DON'T hate Jews."

  But get them alone in a room at night with no non-believers around and their hatred of Jews was downright scary. It would freak my friend out.

  Watchtowerites are no different. Their is a cold soulless heart under that fake covering of love. A wolf in sheep's clothing for sure.

  those of you that know i am about to tell my wife what i have learned about jws religion soon.

  we're talking likely less than a week.. anyways, i have in the past couple months dropped hints about moving somewhere else.

  our house has literally tripled in value since we purchased 5 years ago, and we bought some property last year that has gone up 600%.

We could move to a smaller cute town out of the way, be debt free and possibly mortgage free - depending on our criteria for the town and home.

  So, in the last couple weeks she has been seriously hinting. Man ... if I can just do this right I think we could successfully fade. Really!

  I wouldn't mind DA'ing officially too ... but maybe this is a more gentle way of coaxing my wife away.

  Could the pieces ACTUALLY be falling in place?

  Interesting comment by wife of branch committee member:

  2. friends

  i know this couple, and their good jw friend here at work just related it to me.

  she was talking about one of the faithful old "brothers" who had recently passed away.

  "sister husband's-high-up-in-the-organization mentioned that if armageddon doesn't come soon, the great crowd won't be "great" any longer, it'll be little, 'cause the older generation is all dying off.".

  I know I wasn't serving for a date but I would have made different plans for my life at least.

  Great thought!

  That is perfect!

  Because I know I will get that argument myself.

  This is a great response.

  Told my nonJW brother-in-law I'm done with the JW thing

  by ithinkisee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am slowly ramping up the wheels of apostacy and have begun telling a few people to help brace the fallout of me telling my wife.

  i have many relatives that aren't jws - both on my side and on my wife's side.

  i've already told my dad (who was never a jw - to which i am eternally grateful), and some nonjw business people that i am also friends with.. my wife's brother was never a jw.

  I am slowly ramping up the wheels of apostacy and have begun telling a few people to help brace the fallout of me telling my wife. I have many relatives that aren't JWs - both on my side and on my wife's side. I've already told my dad (who was never a JW - to which I am eternally grateful), and some nonJW business people that I am also friends with.

  My wife's brother was never a JW. Their stepdad was a NAZI Elder to the Nth-degree and her brother grew up with a bitter resentment, anger, and hatred - even a rage that has only died down in recent years. (he is in his late-20s) He was never baptized, and all the JW family - including my wife - rationalize that his bitterness is really towards the overbearing stepfather - not the Org. (although both work in the same heavy-handed way)

  He recently got married to a meek and sweet girl. We all went to the wedding. Problem is - as you know JWs are - all of the JW side is using every opportunity to "witness" to them. Yes, it is lovebombing in the purest form. They always talk about how he and his wife are always asking "bible questions" and how they think they can get to him through his new wife.

  Well, it turns out him and his wife go home after a night of pseudo-subtle "witnessing" and just laugh about the ridiculousness. How do I know? I asked him today about it - and then told him I was leaving the JWs.

  He was completely blown away - he said he will completely support my decision and would even put me up in his house if things got bad. Imagine that! It would be interesting to see how quickly the lovebombing would die after that and the hypocritical awkwardness that would ensue - not to mention the reasoning they would have to try to put across to him after something like that - that they can't talk to me or something.

  I ended by telling him my main purpose for telling him was that I wanted him to be prepared for a response when word gets back to him. I wanted him to know WHY I was leaving the JWs, and that it was not only for me but the long-term well-being of my wife and kids. They deserve to hear the unbiased truth about JWs. Also that it wasn't because I wanted to go screw tons of chicks or delusions of being famous or something - but that I just don't want to be a hypocrite.

  Anyhoo ... just thought I would share.
