Humourous reasons to go back

by usualusername1 in

jw
friends

in my stand up comedy routine tonight i want to list humourous reasons why i shd go back to jws.. how about nobody throws parties like jws.. how about jws being at the cutting edge of fashion.. how about it being easier for men to get a date.. any ideas?.

paul.

My husband was joking with me one day and he said something like

Eat birthday cake? God will kill you

Give Christmas presents? God will kill you

buy a two door car? God will kill you

fornicate? God will kill you

smoking? God will kill you

the whole religion can be summed up with god will kill you 😀

Compelling reasons to join or go back or God will kill you.

another one: my husband is Catholic. He said you can't scare me with that stuff. Catholics go to hell for all eternity - all you got is god kills you? That doesn't sound so bad. 😀

Sneezing in the presence of non-JWs

by compound complex in

greetings, cold and allergy sufferers:.

i'm in good health currently, but i do sneeze quite a bit, bringing down the rafters, as one sister exclaimed at the kh.

apart from that, no jw ever acknowledged my clearing out .

just fine

I have the same issue sneezing 10-15 times in a row. My workmates tease that they won't bless me until I am done. Lol.

Ridiculous (degrading) comment on society's video

by Festus in

on video "benefits of divine education" william samuelsson makes totally appalling comment.. starting from 3:05 he refers to "an effort" that was made in past to see how society's curriculum corresponds with normal - worldly - universities.. then he claims that following question was asked (to university representative) "how we in five months can teach the same that for them takes two years"?.

according to w samuelsson the representative of a university replied something like this: "your students are motivated, they have come to learn where as our students have been send to university by their parents and might have something else than learning in their mind".

this is to crystallize what he said.

just fine

As with all Watchtower "experiences" there is no mention of what university representative said this. It's just a nameless, faceless, generic university representative. It's laughable that they would even compare the two, but when you keep your followers purposefully uneducated and villify higher education, you have to do something to appear superior.

I didn't take any believe in fairly tale classes at the University I went to.

A Short Life Story - Part 4 (Finale)

by pale.emperor in

a continuation from part 3, which is here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4807117397557248/short-life-story-part-3#!#4918071166763008.

my wife had settled into a routine of waking up at 6am each day, cleaning (so no chance of a lie in for me or our daughter with the vacuum cleaner going), eating very little, picking the skin off her lips while she sits there in a trance obsessing over things that are out of our control and dont matter anyway.

she never did return to work.

just fine

I still remember when you first came here and am so happy you have thrived since leaving the cult behind. It's not easy to untangle yourself from it, but is worth every bit of pain.

🍺to sunny days ahead

Paranoid why the coordinator's wife is soft shunning me

by Isambard Crater in

jw
friends

for the past six months the coordinator's wife has definitely been avoiding me, turning her back or walking away when i walk in her direction, giving me a stare at other times.

if i try to make casual conversation with her, she literally walks away or just looks through me until someone else comes to talk to her.. i can only think of one reason, which is that she may have seen me give a car ride to a disfellowshipped person months ago.

i mean, it would be totally random if she happened to spot me on this one short journey, but it's possible.

just fine

She is a JW it could be anything, everything, or nothing.

Jw mummies boys

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.

men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.

their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

just fine

The message to those brought up in the cult is to listen and obey. They are supposed to obey the organization, obey the elders, obey their parents, it's no wonder they can't make a decision. When one of my young relatives left the cult I told them "you are going to make mistakes, its normal, that's how we all learn." The Watchtower corporation implants the idea that mistakes are wrong and if you listen to them you won't make mistakes.

opportunity for fornication

by road to nowhere in

ever see brother ugly who is 86 being taken to the doctor by sister frigid who is 65 and also not good looking?

they have to have a chaperone or at least sit in back and front seats.

or a man who can't bring the freezing daughter in the house when he stopped briefly by because hubby is not home.

just fine

JW's think everything and everyone is an opportunity for sex. Young brother picks up 90 year old woman for the meeting, she must ride in the back, because the temptation would be too much. 🤢

After leaving you realize that people aren't that preoccupied with sex, and you can go on business trips, and to dinner with coworkers and nobody spontaneously starts cavorting on the table. 😀

Is There Anywhere To Go for an Outed JW elder/pedophile enabler?

by mrmagic in

since the australian royal commission, a lot of jw elders have been outed for either being pedophiles/molesters or for enabling it.

the jw elders who enabled it, are publicly outed to their community online and offline.

it's become a congregational matter with the entire kingdom hall and someone said that this elder would lose his eldership possibly, due to it "being known in the congregation and community" that he enabled child sexual abuse.

just fine

The court case listed above is public record. And the fact that it is the newspaper, makes it even more public. In this instance I wouldn't worry.

Geez JD or RO or whoever you are, why do you always want to scare people into not exposing the Watchtower for what it is.

The photgrapher in your example was not charged by anyone, it wasn't a court case, and it was a lie, that is why the $1m was awarded. It's not slander if it's true.
