  What the Society expects of its members

  by Xander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading through some old quotes at the quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com site, and had something of an epiphany.

  it is simultaneously revealing and revolting, and i'd like to share it.. what the society expects of its members.

  the society expects its members to live and *die* for their teachings [yes, everyone here knows it - the society expects you do die for their teachings if necessary].. and, at the same time as you lie there dying for their beliefs, expects you to accept (?joyfully?

  DK--I couldn't had said it better myself. 101% true.

  The only real truth that I ever learned was that it was all really a lie.

  Slave to the grind.

  To me, it didn't seem to have as much to do with loving God, but to be obedient and loyal to this organization.

  Does Looks Really Matter?

  by butalbee in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  does looks really matter in love?

  would you go out with someone who was not physically attractive if he/she had a big heart on the inside, a great personality, lot's of things in common with, etc...i guess i'm asking what's more important to you the person on the exterior or who he/she really is underneath?.

  I've always aprreciated a man's body. Really look forward to seeing a nice ass in Levi's, broad shoulders, bulging biceps, and....

  But you can't build a relationship on looks. There's got to be more, what a person is on the inside is what makes or breaks a relationship. The nice ass is just eye candy.

  I am a professional dreamer, living an imaginary life.

  I wish...

  No, seriously, though, I work at a grocery store as a CSM. And I hate my job...It pays good and medical insurance is excellent. Customers piss me off and my employees all think I'm a bitch.

  Bitter Mango--I'm jealous--wish I was unemployed.....

  Whats the dumbest thing you were counselled for?

  by Beck_Melbourne in

  i was once counselled by the elders for watching 'knots landing'....it became widely known in the congregation that me and a few other sisters would rush home from field service to watch our favourite soapie.

  if we missed it, we would ring each other up for an update...or...if we weren't near a tv we would ask someone to put the phone handset on the top of their tv so we could hear it...pathetic huh...but that was all the excitement we could scrounge up in our otherwise dull and uneventful lives.

  one of the elder's wive's conscience got the better of her...and she confessed to her husband..lol.

  Doesn't matter what religion, catholic, methodist, jewish, or JW., pedofiles are running rampant abusing children and the church either ignore it or hides the issue from the proper authorities..........

  i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
