  What did you have to dispose of when you became a dub?

  by exwitless in

  little drummer boy's comment on the d&d thread made me think about this:.

  when i became one of the borg, i threw out about $600 worth of pnp materials and books, a fact that i was proud of at the time and which makes me sick now because almost all of it is irreplaceable.

  he also threw away who knows how many cds that were "bad" for dubs; also threw away a framed picture of a dragon that was really cool, and maybe some cool rock band t-shirts.. i don't remember having to physically throw away a lot of stuff, but i had to resign from the citizen's band i was in (played the clarinet), threw away my good friends from high school, etc.. what did you all throw away when you became dubs that you regret now?.

  Since my mom became a dub when I was about 5, I had to give up my Batman cape.

  I can't wait to see this one. I hope it matches Sin City, Frank Miller's other movie.

  Remember how great the get-togethers were in the 1980's??

  i remembers skating parties at least once a month, volleyball at the park, get-togethers where everyone would play bible charades and sing kingdoms songs, going to the river to swim with the whole congregation after the sunday meeting, spending the afternoon at the lake eating watermelon and water skiing.

  it was a great upbringing!

  also, i dont want to leave out the strong feelings of eliteness that i had even as a child, of having the truth.

  That made me think of my step-dad remodelling an old duplex that we lived in back in 1974. He made all sorts of secret compartments for the "literature". I wonder what the people thought when they tore that place down about 10 years ago?

  The WTS society admits that the door to door ministry is inefficient

  by cultswatter in

  look at what the scans below say.

  that publishers spend considerable gas and insurance and time to go from door to door to place the odd magazine or book.

  in reality the jw publisher is footing the whole bill and then some.. the jw publisher has to spend about 100 dollars per month for every dollar from donations received for literature sold at the door.. i know this to be true as i used to flog books at the door.

  Oh, we can't just go and change things. A book thats 2000 years old told everyone the final answer on how to efficiently carry out the ministry.

  the lead article on the watchtower home page is about gay marriage and how to make it acceptable to jehovah: http://www.watchtower.org.

  but unfortunately, they still aren't handing out tickets to the corporate jet.

  ah well, "glass half-full" i suppose... .

  i just picked up this sci-fi movie from the groovie 70's and watched it.

  i remember that it kind of disturbed me when i was a kid.

  it was about a closed society that automatically kills everyone at age 30, so they can be replaced by a new baby.

  When I hold any of my snakes, they usually want to crawl away. It's nice though when you just hold them and they sit there and watch tv with me.

  Get ready to see 1.3 million teenage girls shave their heads in solidarity with Britney. Should be fun to see.
