Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

by Simon in

jw
friends

admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

Great thread Simon!

I was an ABBA freak when I was a kid in the 70s. Also growing up listening to my parents music a lot of it grew on me.

I've always liked Tanya Tucker since I was kid and followed her career all these years since she was a youngster.

The Chantels. I remember when I first heard this song when I was a kid I was so impressed with Arlene Smith's vocals.

No female country music artist can put emotion in a song quite like Tammy Wynette

With these 2 long term building projects will it FINALLY wake up some jdub's?

by nowwhat? in

with the ramped up rhetoric the last few years many were totally convinced the end would be here by 2019-20 .

and instead of making due, the org.

has burdened the brothers once again to donate and volunteer for the new and improved patterson and video production center to be completed by 2026!

The GB could pull a Jim Jones and most of the rank and file would comply without question.

Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

Archie Bunker and George Jefferson would be banned today.

Jehovah's Witnesses as medical records employees, and Medical Privacy laws.

by Balaamsass2 in

this subject has been brought up before.

the governing body and watchtower have repeatedly encouraged jws to show loyalty to the organization to "keep the congregation clean" by reporting wrongdoing to the elders.. i know directly of two cases.

two jws working in the records department of our local hospital "outed" 3rd gens 1st husband to the local elders when he and his mistress sought medical treatment together for stds.

littlerockguy

I was a medical transcriptionist when I was a JW and I have typed medical reports on JWs who received medical treatment and one time it was revealed in a dictation that an unmarried JW had multiple sex partners but I kept that information to myself when I was working in that capacity, however I know others may not have. I guess I was not a model witness at the time.

If you work in healthcare and you disclose confidential information you can be individually sued as well as prosecuted. That kind of violation has serious consequences and it may show up to future employers who would do a background check on you even if you no longer work in healthcare.

If shunning were no longer a JW policy, how many would leave the Org?

by HiddenPimo in

additionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.

csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).

would those leaving be higher?.

littlerockguy

I think the percentage would be low, maybe 10 percent if even that. A lot of people really don't care about those issues since it doesn't effect them personally. Many have too much invested in that organization and dont want to deal with the changes that leaving the organization involves. Many feel validated and have a since of belonging in that organization and they also have a social support group within it.

Unless they are severely and negatively impacted by something in the organization they aren't going anywhere.
