  Do you think that the Watchtower and Awake Mags are Idols?

  i remember thinking that the magazines were "holy".

  i was afraid to throw them away.

  isn't this like idol worship?

  we used to take boxes of Watchtower publications from dad's house up into the hills, and shoot various guns at them

  That's interesting. Was your dad a hardcore witness?

  Every time they get "new light" they produce another idol. The people go buy it obediently. Some by the books very happily, others buy it so that they can tell all the other dubs that they bought it. I bet the dubs have more idols (books and magazines) than any other religion.

  To the poster that said that a man got a magazine out of the trash. That magazine was demonized! Or it's a Watchtower big fat lie! I bet the organization creates all kinds of stories to keep the rank and file motivated to keep placing the literature.

  I'm getting all that &%$# out of my house! I think that I better burn it just in case it's true that some poor man came along and read the thing and turned not only himself, but his entire family into borgbots.

  I think it would be very interesting to take a watchtower or an awake mag and rip it in two in front of a jw. Cruel but interesting

  Yes, let's do it! It's would be like burning a flag to a patriotic person or desecrating a cross. They would, definitely, think that you were demonized!

Everyone in the organization is expected to obey the rules in the magazines even if what is stated is not biblical. To me make that makes the two magazines idols.

  Sounds like he's in love. He's gone way too far. He's disrespecting you! How dare he call her! Girl, you are not crazy! This man is meeting with this woman? Oh hell no! I don't know how to fix your marriage, but what your husband is doing isn't right!

  Are you still in love with your husband?

  Skully, I would love to switch to a different area of nursing; but I'd have to move to a different city. We only have two major hospitals and a VA hospital here. I worked for them all. Now, I'm working for a small rehab facility. I like working for the smaller facility better, but there's no chance of changing areas/fields of nursing because it's strictly rehab. Plus, you know how it is changing jobs. Who wants to go to all the paper work, physicals, drug testing, orientation, changing insurance ...etc... So, I guess I'm stuck.

  Hi, I read your post that stated you'd be going to 3rd shift. I'm a third shifter. I'm off tonight. My body clock is set-up so that I'm up at night and sleep in the day. I don't have access to a computer at work; and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it. I work in a hospital. Many people seem to think that patients stop being sick at night. I'm here to tell you they don't. I have tons of stories that I could tell you.

  The worse one was when this patient who weighed over 350 lbs. fell. She was, actually, lowered to the floor by the aid that was trying to help her transfer to a bedside commode. I went running in there to help. I didn't see the poop all over the floor. It was like a lake of poop! The poop got into my shoes and on my pant leg. When I walked out of the room, you could hear the poop squishing in my shoes! Ugh! I called my husband and told him to bring me another uniform, shoes, and socks. After my husband brought the stuff, I cleaned up as best as I could, and then I went back to work.

  I threw the shoes, socks, and pants away.

  Hope, your night shifts are better than mine!

The witnesses couldn't take that away from me. My last pregnancy went for 10 months! My daughter ended up weighing 10 lbs. 6 oz. Can you imagine how many times I called my mom?! She would always be patient with me.

  While you were in the troof, was there something that the witnesses couldn't take from you.

  Ozzie's Weekend Poll #153 What did you look at first?

  sorry we're a bit late for the downunder mob, but you in the regions of the northern hemisphere may still be enjoying your weekend.. misspeaches: you could read this when you get to work in the morning, eh?

  anyway, as promised in an earlier thread, it'd be amusing to compare notes on this one:.

  what part of the magazines did you look at first?.

  I'd see the cover an almost get physically ill. The thought of having to read it was awful. More work. I'd be so upset because I knew when I went to the meeting that if I couldn't answer the questions everyone would know that I hadn't partaken of my "spiritual food". I hated to read them, and yet, I thought they were "holy" are something. I would be afraid to throw them away. I literally had stacks of them. Ugh! Talk about a nightmare! Now, I don't have to look at them; and if my daughters happen to leave one here, I can throw it away without even thinking about it.

  i remember years ago, i couldn't pass a day or two without seeing a witness someplace, either walking or in their cars going door to door or just traveling to the hall.

  often i'd see them at the grocery store or at the bank.. but it's been months now since i've seen a witness.

  gee it's fun not to run into them anymore.

  I thought you were making a pun of the song that says : You don't send me flowers anymore. Don't throw shoes at me, but I don't see witnesses anymore because they are shunning me. The only ones that I miss are my kids. The heck with the rest of them!
