Were You Treated Unfairly In The Congregation?

by minimus in

there is clearly a caste system in the organization.

there is a pecking order.

certain classes of people did not associate with those not of the same ilk.

I was pretty much invisible while in.

Made the fade real easy though.

i love to login to myspace and see if i can find some ex-jws, or active jws from (my) cong., or ones that i knew from other congs.. i came across a profile of someone i knew, who was in the same congregation.

her name isn't particularly common, and there is a resemblance, so i think it's most likely the girl who i went to kh with.. she says she's "atheist", and has a tattoos on her face, piercings, and her profile is decorated with naked women.

gads!

bb,

I know I never stood out in the congos at least outwardly. There were always the flashy bros, the study bros the gymbros, the money bros, I was practically invisble in my suit and tie.

Inside I was a indie rocker, a goth, and a touch of the glam rocker too. I took my time to decide on the first tat, in fact I didn't know it was going to be on my body at first. That's the one caution I would give to anybody getting their first ink. Don't do it to rebel, do it because it has meaning. My boss has a joker playing card on his shoulder that he just hates...

For me, piercing and ink are among the ways I am bringing who I have felt like on the inside (even when as a dub) into alignment with what I look like on the outside.

Any Comic Book Fans?

by gaiagirl in

i'm a fan of several: tomb raider and danger girl (both about smart, capable women) ghost (similar to above, and a very good mystery about her background) hellboy metal men (recently returned for an 8 issue run, and the basis for a new movie in the works)

I am slowly building my collection of trade paperbacks of Usagi. It's such a great story. About two years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Stan Sakai at a comic-con. Nice guy, autographed and sketched UY in a couple of my books.

Great QFR, really stupid answer from WT

by erynw in

i originally posted this topic under "deuteronomy 24:16 vs 2 samuel 12:14" (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/142118/1.ashx).

it was suggested i retitle and repost it as my title did not really convey what the topic was about, so here it is again.. i was looking at who incited david to take the census, satan or jahooba (2 sam 24:1 vs 1 chron 21:1).

anyway, i was searching the wt 2006 cd and i came across this qfr that has nothing to do with what i was looking for, but i could not believe what i was reading.

Circumcision=personality?? I don't get it.

THOSE WHO ARENT JEHOVAH WITNESSES

those who aren't in the truth i feel much pity for you.

all of you are filled with much hatred and anger that all you can do is blast out of your stupid mouths horrible things about the one true religion.

i feel sorry for you that you will not have ever lasting life.

Well he does seem a little angry, but that's to be expected because the cognitive dissonance is kicking in and it hurts his WT steeped brain.

Some Thoughts... I'm new, this is THERAPUTIC for me... read if you'd like

by bbdodger in

in a cult, the society of the cult tries everything in their power to keep one in that society, as well as keeping one ignorant of any information that would sever the guise of legitimacy.

given a version of the bible, not being able to read any other version of the bible is just one example of this kind of inflicted ignorance.

in a cult, it's impossible to get out without a fight.

cyd0099

Hi and welcome. Your story is theraputic for us as well. When I first found this site I was amazed at how many people felt like me. Made me feel less a freak.
