Breakfast, yeah pubs are fun! My favorite around here is one called the The Londoner, a "British" pub. Trinity Hall is owned by the Irish. Then there's the more American pub the Gingerman.

What was life like for you as a JW teenager?

by highdose in

in the wt's illistrations they portray jw teenagers as happy, together group.

my experinace is that the jw teenagers in the cong were some of the bitchyist backstabbing arse holes i'll ever meet.. it was unheard of for us to engage in group "wholesome activity" as show in the wt's illistrations.

the competition amongst the girls for the handsome, sane and elders sons were cut throat.

Yeah I remember when I decided to stop cold on being a JW my parents took the car away for a few days thinking I would change my mind. Then they gave it back to me thinking that would change my mind. Funny.

Yeah, Pink Floyd the wall album basically interprets my teenage life.

Undercover, did the white tee gave you a sneek peak? Lol. One of the girls I played with was wearing a white t-shirt so I was going after her. She put up a good fight, but soon I was dissapointed because she was wearing a sports bra.

As playing football goes it was really fun. I've always got stuck playing running back. Even got a couple of bruises on the ribs. But JWs take the fun out of everything.

Yep, the family outing was the convention. And family Friday night was studying the magazines or any watchtower literature.

I got away from that once I also got my car at the age of 15. I was able to leave the meetings early and skip the ministry even though I didn't have anywhere to go, it was better than staying there.

I think the only fun activity I remember doing once was playing tackle football with kids from another congregation. It was hell of fun. But didn't last too long before the elders put a stop to that.

Then there was that water balloon fight where some teenage sisters were involved.... lol

Besides those times, it was pretty much dull.

JWs and the Roman Catholic thing

by Band on the Run in

my father learned to hate catholics at home (a russian orthodox mining town) and at bethel.

he seemed to have no fervor pouncing on a protestant.

preaching against catholics at work put him on notice that he would be fired if he continued.

NomadSoul

Sounds like the man had some mental issues.

Elder father sent me an email about Feb 2012 WT - my resposne

by TheStumbler in

i'm not sure if any of you will remember but i posted on here six months ago about a correspondence i was having with my dad, an elder, about who would die in armageddon.

i was asking some tough questions about children being killed in armageddon and i could tell he uncomfortable with the answers he was giving.. i drafted an email in resposne to his email but in the end i decided not to send it in the interest of maintaining friendly relations.. .

last week, out of the blue, my dad sent an email link to the february 2012 watchtower article about armageddon and said it would answer some of my questions.. here is my response which is a critique of the feb 2012 wt article and some of the broader ethics concerning 'armageddon'.

NomadSoul

That was a good answer. Thanks for posting.

Hope your dad awakens from this cult.
