Anyone watch Jay Leno?
by mjs mouse, ben indid anyone watch the tonite show on tuesday night 8/28?........in one of his skits titled "tattoo or no tattoo" he interviews a girl on the street who says she was brought up in a strict conservative household and was an ex-jehovahs witness, ex-exotic dancer, and now a masseuse..... anyway, i thought it was cool that she stated she was an ex-jw without batting an eye.
myself, i hate to tell anyone that i was once affiliated with that religion.
embarassment on my part , i suppose.

Since when?!!!!
by mjs mouse, ben inrecently one of my brothers sons who is a 22 yr old jw mentioned to me rather excitedly that he just got back from ozzfest 2007, telling me him and his gf who is also a jw (elders daughter) rocked to bands such as "ozzie ozbourne" "lamb of god" "three inches of blood" and "static x" to name a few.
i was astounded by his "revelation" that he and his gf among many other younger jw kids attended this event with jw parental consent.
i remember when i was growing up around the jw religion even mentioning the name of ozzie ozbourne was reason for a trip to the back room for a "talk" with the elders.

The Heat Is On!
by mjs mouse, ben inwell, as the memorial approaches again, the pressure directed at me from the remaining jw's in my family to attend is getting to be too much.
i'm at the point where i just want to yell out "leave me the f@$k alone!
"......but i know i cant say that, so i'll just make up some excuse like i did last year and just not go.

I did not go!
by mjs mouse, ben inrecently i posted a subject about being pressured by family into going to the memorial, well, i stood my ground and for the first time in my life that i can remember i did not go!
today i feel like a new man, i feel liberated!....if now i could get them off my back for all the other jw events, just got a call from my sister asking me, "since you didnt go to the memorial, are you going to the "special" assembly?
" i felt like telling her flat out "no!

Have you ever witnessed a Witness
by mjs mouse, ben inmyself being a very observant person have on many occasions witnessed witnesses behaving badly in public places.
for instance, i was in an auto parts store recently, unbeknownst to a jw(elder) who happened to walk in, lines were long and this @#@hole demanded to be served immediately, yelling, cutting in front of everyone else, belittling the clerks like they were nobody (typical jw).
i felt like telling him to calm down and show some "fruitages of the spirit", but i just watched his rant and thought to myself how bad these jerks act when they think no one is around.

JW owned businesses
by mjs mouse, ben inhave you ever noticed how some jw's who own businesses name their companies with titles associated with their belief?
there's a few in my city with company names like:
kingdom janitorial service(the logo on his van actually has the watchtower on it)

last days?
by mjs mouse, ben inrecently overheard some jw relatives talking, the term we're in the "last days of the last days" was being used frequently, i didn't want to ask them, it would of turned into an argument.
wtf does this imply?
is anyone else hearing this?
