  i am a long time lurker who has come out of the closet.

  i have read many fine posts here and feel for all of you who have been hurt by the witnesses.

  they are a lying, unaccountable organization - with an emphasis on the word unaccountable!

  LOL crumpet!

  Hey, I'm turned on to the point of moistness everytime I read one of your posts

  Seriously though I'm not sure what correlation the society was trying to imply. I got the headline from the list on Freeminds posted ealier but the actual article text isn't listed. It probably said something like they are both tools of Satan and it would be like holding Satan's tool in your hand and you would be swallowing all the juicy info from that tool and your mind would be contaminated but you don't care because you liked Satan's tool and you want more... hmm, ya know maybe they're right

  The Watchtower, March 15, 1986 Issue,

  Page 14:

  Why is reading apostate publications similar to reading pornographic literature?

  They must have been looking at some pretty tame porno.

  well, one is made of white plastic and is dangerous for children to play with.

  I heard that joke when I was about 10 which was quite a few years ago. Just shows you how long these allegations have been around.

  My fave drawing and comment of Jacko by Vic Reeves.

  Michael Jackson the King of Pop had his head redesigned by a porcelain monkey on the crest of mount Ararat and then floated back down to earth having his innards removed and pickled in jars of frogspawn. His chin had a packet of 20 silk cut inserted into it and the fags received via a draw under his tongue. His nose insides were dug out with a bent teaspoon and replaced with a row of 'cheeses' from his trivial pursuit game and a couple of orange tic-tacs, his hair replaced by fossilised leeches, his lips 2 redcurrants and his eyes a pair of pifco lightbulbs. Good luck to him.

  Hmm.. I probably wouldn't go for either really. I'm quite partial to Grolsch at the moment. I'm not a real ale freak but my fave tipple at the mo' is Timothy Taylor's Landlord ale, it's ruddy gorgeous.

  To what extent did you let others know that you were a JW?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  i remember the elders telling us that we had to let everyone know that we were a jw.

  does your boss know that you're a jw?

  does your teacher know?

  Everyone I went to school with or worked with knew I was a JW. I never 'witnessed' to them though as they liked me and thought I was a cool guy and I didn't want to push my luck change their mind.

  I remember when those talks were given about witnessing to school or work colleagues I always felt I would be embarrassed if they attended meetings. Embarrassed because it was such a strange life being a JW and far removed from being normal. I was used to it but I felt they would just think it was weird and think the same of me.

  My Book of Bible Stories

  i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).

  at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.

  then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.

  what kid wouldn't wanna dress up as Boaz ?

  Yeah all the kids were itching to play that part. Either him or Zerubbabel.

  Actually the only parts we wanted to play were battles between Israelites v Philistines or Israelites v Egyptians etc so we could kick the frick out of each other and have a big wrestling match on the floor.

  JW at meetings vs. JW at social events

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you noticed how jw switch modes depending on where they are?

  they seem a lot more 'normal' at social gatherings than while they are engaged in 'theocratic' activities.. it's like there's a spiritual switch that they turn on and off.

  zombie mode/human mode

  Well, I like it, too. But mostly as a complement to the Skeptics' Annotated Bible ( http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ )

  Hey Melmac thanks for the link. I'm reading it right now, it's a cool site.
