But it actually makes me think (re "just a cheap imitation of KoolAid") about the soda they served at the conventions- it was a cheap imitation of something... Shasta? Or something even more generic...

Kool - Aid
by dozy ini was puzzled by the numerous references to this as we don't have this product in the uk , but realise (after googling) that it refers to the jonestown massacre.
the implication presumably being that jws are so dumb , they will do anything that those in authority ask them to do.
(shame this doesn't apply when i am looking for volunteers to stand in for the tms.

My account of a trip to the 1969 District Assembly
by RunningMan inwell, i've decided to try my hand at a different type of writing.
my atheist's book of bible stories is nearly complete, so i thought i would write the epic masterpiece history of my family, from the time that they came to canada until today.
i am calling the book "east of edenwold" (which is a small town in saskatchewan).

I love all these narrative accounts of stuff... Bethel, assemblies.
You guys are great writers - and funny to boot!
CORRECTIONS:
Change WONTON women to WANTON women- (were these gals made out of chinese food appetizers or something?!?)
Change FUDGECYCLE to FUDGESICLE, like popsicle (you weren't riding this thing around like a big wheel, were you?)
This is great - more please!

How about a lip peircing?
is that ok?
I just got one (ring in center of lower lip) -my mom (JW) hates it. I don't live at home but wonder what my JW friends in my home state would think -they'd have to know I was long gone, right?

man,
I feel like a nerd...
I always was really excited about the "special week of activity" and would try to get my mom to go out in service with me. We felt so good that we were encouraging each other, with my dad "not in the truth" and all...
all that stuff made me happy... I felt like I was helping Jehovah.
Sort of bittersweet memories. Good times, wasted by not getting a real life going, but good times (for me) nonetheless. **expecting rotten tomatoes from the uber-apostates...**
But I have a question. I don't understand how the elders would "ass-kiss" the CO and DO. Like, what would they do to kiss ass? I can't think of anything they would do...
Please explain- this is interesting!

Film Scenes that got burnt onto your memory
by greendawn inwhat were some film scenes that pleased or horrified you so much that they stayed vivid in your memory for a long time?
the one i always recall is the scene where anthony hopkins (playing as hannibal lector) lobotomised ray liotta (paul krendler) cutting off pieces of his brain and giving them to him to eat.
he also took some of liotta's cooked brain in a plane and gave them to an unsuspecting passenger boy sitting next to him to eat.

"Persons who deliberately spread (stubbornly hold to and speak about) teachings contrary to Bible truth as taught by Jehovah's Witnesses are apostates."
So we're ALL screwed. You can't even argue that you are actually promoting real bible truth: it's "bible truth AS TAUGHT BY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" that counts.
It's like they know folks will argue that they have beliefs that are from the bible so therefore shouldn't get df'ed but nope- they already got the stranglehold clause built in there.
Good greif. Even Jesus himself would be disfellowshipped.

was tobacco use common before deuteronomy?
by apostlestate in.
if it can be proven that tobacco use was a practice before all the o-so-explicit cleanliness laws in deuteronomy then god's silence on the matter could be deemed as proof that he did not mind such things.. anyone know if tobacco use has caveman roots?

marijuana came from the orient- maybe they smoked that.
I know that lots of stuff frrom the far east was common across the eurasian continent especially at jesus' time with all that trading going on.
I can't imagine the mid- and near- east citizens not smoking weed. And if Jesus thought it was wrong it would definitely have been mentioned -at least by Paul, that grumpy curmudgeon!

HELP PLEASE---family emergency
by apostlestate inthis is my first time ever participating in any discussion with ex -witnesses ever, and it's long overdue.
i discovered the real truth about 6 years ago with the aid of websites like this (cannot contain my gratefulness), now i am stepping into your world and it feels right.
my family runs four generations deep in witness muck,my great-grandmother was the oldest living pioneer in our region for what seemed like forever, three of my great-grandparents were "anointed",my grandfather hobnobbed with the governing body, etc.,etc.

uh... are you really a TORNADO chaser or are were you just using that as a metaphor? Which was what I thought when you first said it.
That's very cool -either way.
