  1. I have a spider-sense for being stabbed in the back from years of involvement in JW business ventures.

  2. Honesty- I have heard enough lies to last me several lifetimes in the Borg (the borg idea is great, except the borg have better fashion sense)

  3. Intelligence- I realized all on my own with no influence or reading material what a crock of sh!t living in the Borg was.

  4. Handsome and Charming- Well i did look pretty damn good in my suit, and could charm the panties off any pioneer geekette.

  5. Cleaning skill- Even though the only thing I clean these days are my house and car, I hate the reason of why I'm so good at it. Damn Borg!!!

  ~How did/do you personally feel about the headship arrangement?~

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel that headship is one of the most damaging doctrines taught in the wtbts as well as other fundy religions.

  it is promoted as a way to have happier, healthier marriages and families.

  in theory, maybe so.

  I think my ex-wife totally enjoyed the headship, she manipulated it to her advantage. I'd work my ass off 60 hours a week doing, what else janitorial work, and she would get to stay home and pour me a bowl of cereal and open cans of ravioli for my meals, and play house. If I said why can't you get a job so I don't have to do this shitty job all alone, she'd be quick to get either her dad/elder or the local elders to read that F-ing scripture about a man providing for his wife. Yeah well in this day and age things are different most people need two incomes to make it, and I don't have a goat farm like the bible is talking about.

  My five years of marriage was just me basically being a slave, since especially we're "not allowed" to go to school and get a good job why do women get to stay home when the men mostly have bad jobs, its all image and a very stupid one. I definately had no headship at home, I had no say i couldn't even put my own feet on my own damn coffeetable! I really hate her!

  Its so nice now having these things called "discussions" and sometimes, actually lots of times I get my own way, ahhh the life of a worldly person...BRING IT ON!!

  This has nothing to do with the current subject but sometimes I still get all excited about getting to stay home on a tue/thur night or sun morning, its just like the meeting has been cancelled for a snowstorm or something.

  What silly rules did your congregation make up?

  by weinermcgee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  elders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?

  i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).

  2. suits only or no privledges.

  HEY LOOK I FOUND IT!!!!

  1 CORINTHIANS 3:9 - And Jehovah burned with anger as Behethlabillybob entered the tent, and behold, he wore a suit jacket that did not match his pants! Lightning filled the sky with Jehovahs anger and it struck down upon Behethlabillybob in a quick flash of light destroying him instantly, whereupon the flock said "Daaamn!"

  2. friends

  today on cnn.com, i saw they had a story about paris hilton ending her engagement.

  well, i don't know about you, but i find this woman to be a waste of time.

  why do people care about this woman?

  For some strange reason I like this girl, not in like a relationship way or a banging her way, but I'd like to hang out with her sometimes or go for coffee with her. I think very deep down its because she would be the perfect anti-JW, she is probably the newest "devil" the elders complain about. in my day it was guns and roses and madonna.

  I recently read something about her that intrigued me. she and all her former boyfriends claim that she is very unsexual! she dates all these famous guys, made a sex tape, is half naked all the time, represents sex itself today and she is very "unsexual" in person meaning she doesn't really like sex???!!! Oooooh she likes being sexy but not actually having sex.

  I put her on my list of "would love to sit down and have a conversation with you" in the top 10, number 1 is still of course michael jackson!

  well i am new to the board, i have faded away from the truth lies about 6 years ago.

  it still has an effect on me today, so much so i gave the warning in the title.

  this is because one of the things drilled into me, was that its far worse to lead a member of the flock away.

  I think when we all left we still felt a little anxiety over things like these rules burned into our brains, missing my first memorial was such a big deal, looking at "apostate" websites was scary, trying to explain to people who hate JW's that hey its not really that bad, its more the people screwing it up then it is a bad religion. HA I still catch myself doing this sometimes it drives me nuts, suddenly I 'll stop myself and say why in the hell am i defending this garbage still? Man they sure know they're brainwashing techniques.

  I have only recently realized that when you are thinking for yourself, so many of your "ready made answers" have to be revisited and the whole evolution/creation thing has been a paticularly annoying after years of arguing on the side of creation now I have no idea. My best answer is I know there is something more powerful in the universe then us, whether its a god or not I do not know. I believe this planet and its complex ecosystems and creatures must have had some design involved. But thats about all I can say anymore. damn it did feel good arguing when you thought you knew you were right but man thinking back what an ass i must have made myself look like...so closed minded. I can't ponder too long it drives me insanely angry.

  But welcome to this site, I have only joined a few days ago and its been very theraputic so far.

  1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut)

  2. Suits only or no privledges. ie giving talks, operating mikes, behind magizine counter. you weren't allowed to wear pants a different color then your jacket. if you wore khacki's and a jacket you were basically a worldly person. this later changed slightly, you could wear black or grey dress pants with a different color jacket. Can you believe they actually did a special needs talk outlining all this?

  3. No sideburns past the middle of your ear. (made this one up after the 70's hairy phase, prob mid 80's)

  4. no rings on your pinky finger or toes.

  this isn't really a rule but can you believe our CO used to have a printout of his fave dishes and list of things he didn't like and it was actually posted on the bullitin board for when he came and ate at peoples houses for dinner? And i am not confusing this with things he was allergic to or for health related reasons.

  What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you live your dream?

  i know things would have been different if i had not been raised as a dub.

  since i left the borg, i've been making up for lost time, but still did not fully become what i wanted to be.

  i wanted to be an artist... i do some artwork, but it's only a small part of what i do for a living.. how about you?

  i was so programmed i never thought i had any choice in the matter besides janitor and a pioneer or ideally both. But now i can say my dream is my own business which i have accomplished, and no its not a cleaning business. But i feel really sad watching the students going to university I feel that i really missed an experience there, i probably would have gone for a busines degree.

But some of you might say: "You would take them back as friends? They were never TRUE friends." You bet your ass I would, they aren't allowed to think for themselves, they were brainwashed they didn't know what they were doing. I honestly think of my one best friend still numerous times a day, waiting and waiting for him to finally give it up. What a glorious day that will be!
