What movies make you think of the Borg?...
by Hecklerboy ini was watching a great sci-fi movie the other day (chronicles of riddick) and there was a phrase in the movie that jumped out at me.
a soldier was being promoted and he said the phrase "obedience without question, loyalty till underverse comes".
i thought "wow, just replace underverse with armageddon and that sound just like the witnesses".

As bad as it initially seems, you will find that a sizeable load has been lifted off your shoulders.
It may actually take a while for the cong. to stop treating you like an 'elder'. For several years, friends would confide in me and I would stop them from revealing too much, by reminding them that I was not on the BOE.
Eventually the whole thing slows down though, and you can start enjoying life. I can honestly say that I did not enjoy the jws until I dumped that load of elder crap. It was GREAT being an regular 'joe' for a change. In time, I stopped viewing everyone by title: pioneer, publisher, ms, elder, co, do, gb, bethelite, etc. Either you were a friend or NOT. Every so often, I get introduced as: This brother WAS our wt study conductor and he used to be at bethel. It drives me CRAZY!
Anyways! It is a shame that they only clap when you get appointed, but the real applause should come when you step down and leave.
Best wishes!

LittleToe: I took the radical step of DA'ing myself at the end of my last Public Talk.
I hate to deviate from the topic of this thread, but is your story out there somewhere? If not, please tell me the details. That is incredibly interesting to me!

Perhaps our defender friend is not such a dumbbell?
Maybe by hedging such a large bet, he will get some of us to fold or better yet, to show our hand.
Beware! He makes such garrulous, inflammatory statements, yet has gone to great efforts to hide (his/her/their?) own identity.

Maybe, just for old time's sake:
Randy could just say that he didn't post it, while it's still online. That way we can all play WT.

OldSoul: Isn't truly FREE speech grand?
Just the fact that we are able to openly discuss different thoughts on a given topic, is very refreshing. Oh to make my own comments instead of reading someone else's!
I certainly hope that I was not coming across with some of my ingrained jw judging. I'm working hard to get that attitude out of my system.
I really do appreciate that everyone is freely bringing things to the table.

Do you think the world will end soon. If so, when?
by Rod P inpredictions for the end of the world have been going on since the time of christ, and in every century since then.
during the past 100 years there have been more predictions for the end of the world than have been made in all the previous centuries combined.
many of these prophesied dates have since come and gone.. people look around and see the possibility of many different natural or man-made disasters by which the end could come.

JW peer pressure
by ljwtiamb inthere seems to be a common theme going on in the jw community.
at the first sign of a possible committment, every jw rushes you (with guilt) to show that you are serious.then, at the first sign of trouble everyone wants you to shoulder your responsibilities.finally, they damn/shun you if you can't handle things or choose/decide to quit.. i've seen this scenario played out with: interested couples rushed to engagement.dating couple rushed into marriage.bible studies & young persons rushed into baptism.any jw with 'free' time (meaning non-wt activities) rushed into pioneer service.young pioneer brothers rushed into bethel.. have you seen the same in your areas?
can you think of other scenarios?
