JW Closet Drinkers
by shamus100 inhow many here have had jw friends that can only have a good time when they drink?
i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.
not necessarialy alcoholics, but ones that equate good times with drinking, and drinking alone.

I was shocked when I first learned just how much the witnesses drank...It really kinda rattled me...most of them seemed obsessed with it.
Newly baptized I was invited to a sister's house and there by her 'frig was bottle after bottle of different kinds of alcohol. I told her she could open up he own liquor store. At this time I had no idea they drank at all.
Later the sisters and I started going out every Friday night, and we always ended up having a "few" margaritas....
One time we all went to a huge event that takes place once a year in our area...a section was roped off just for witnesses... didn't want to mix with the worldlys too much, ya know.
Some of us walked to a liquor store and got the items to make "Rattle Snakes", went back and set up our own makeshift bar... we had them lined up waiting their turn for one....
The PO came up to us, and I thought, we're "busted" now... all he did was hand us a cup and said..."Make mine with a little less rattle and alot more snake...!!
What the rest of the community must have thought...!!! Since they knew who we were and could plainly see us.
I never drank so much in my life until I became a witness, I also have cut down to just a few times a year since leaving.

My dog a goldfish and God
by edmond dantes inthink for one minute ; it is impossible for the human mind to truly comprehend god.by that i mean suppose we ,the human race, know as much about god as my dog knows about me.the dog is aware of me going out and coming in,being taken for a walk,having his meals put out for him etc.
but he has no concept of the place he lives in, the country or town.he knows nothing about the universe and this planet.he knows nothing not even being able to add one and one.same situation with a goldfish in a bowl, it hasn't a clue about the local pond, lake,or ocean,all it knows is the bowl.now suppose our situation is similar to the dog and goldfish .
we think we have some kind of understanding of god when in fact we don't know the reality by any stretch of the imagination.. maybe god hasn't revealed himself to man and that everything we think we know about god is purely mans invention and imagination , we are as dogs and goldfish.. .

Goodness Edmond Dantes,
Maybe God hasn't revealed himself to man and that everything we think we know about God is purely mans invention and imagination , we are as dogs and goldfish.
That's rather deep. I like the way you think..

Do You Ever Fear The Jehovah's Witnesses???
by minimus inare you completely devoid of fear regarding jws in your life at this point?

No one fears that their position of "fading" can be effected?
That's why I don't want to be around them. In the event they nit pick and try & find something... to run to the Elder's over, and just get the whole ball rolling.

No, I don't fear them... I just don't want to be around them.
I walked away 10 years ago, have had no confrontations at all.
Met a Lady, I used to be fairly close to a few months ago, a REAL die hard, she was really warm and friendly... (nothing spiritual was mentioned tho). That amazed me. I assume I'm not DA'd or DF'd, I didn't ask...
I would like to just leave it at that.

My sincere condolences
I agree with Jim_TX... just say :
"Have you met my husband?"
This throws them off balance for a second - and takes the focus from what they want to say
