Count me in for one.... Maybe 2. That would make a fine gift.
It's just too bad that I would only be able to wear it at home with the blinds closed and all the lights off, since my street has become some sort of elder parade route.

Making the Truth Your Own By Making Your Own Truth
A lot of these have been killing me, but I blew beer though my nose for this one.
Jessi,
Quit trying to be superior on a forum where everyone knows more about your religion than you do, you're reminding me of what a prick I used to be.

Why didn't you think you were in a cult?
by beautifulisfree inso why didn't you think you were in a cult when you were a jdub?
my "worldly" husband always told me i was in a cult when we were dating..i didn't believe him.
but, to this day i still don't know why i didn't agree with him.

I think since I was raised that way, I never had any other lifestyle to compare to my situation to and see how silly it was.What I dont get is people that come into this nonsense as adults and happily hand over their freedom and dont find it cultish.

Remember the Written Review
by 30girl inwhat exactly was the purpose of the written review?
it was extremely helpful that the society warned you on the calendars which night you had to skip... we had those boards that they passed out so you had a good writing surface, often covered with witness grafiti like, jesus or jehovah or something biblical.
remember the little grading sheet on the back; excellent, very good, good -- was there a poor?

I actually didn't much give a rat's ass how many concubines King Solomon hosed for God's good kingdom.
Thats the funniest thing Ive read all day.

mention 'Numerology' and that's just "Demonic''. Another thing that confused me!
Yeah I used to wonder about that same thing. Just one of many things that would be answered with "Thats different though".

I'd skip right from the "True/False" section to the "match the scripture" section and then go back to the multiple choice stuff and fill in the blank questons. I dont think I ever got one of the essay questions right....
The only thing it ever taught me was that I had retained nothing from the past few months.

Worst Thing Youve Done In A Meeting?
by chuckie77 inwhats the worst thing youve done during a meeting?
years ago, when i was a bit more wicked/naughty/younger than i am now, i thought i would take some drugs just prior to the meeting to see if it would make things any more interesting.
it didnt, but at least i enjoyed the kingdom melodies tapping my foot to the beat and bopping my head!!

Anyone still have friends in the org that they speak with?
by done4good ini ask this because i have two or three that know my stand on things, but am unsure of how to go about getting on the offensive with them, about the wts.
they are reasonable people, and i think if i could just plant the seeds in the right way, it may get them thinking.
so, i'm asking if anyone here has any real experience doing the same with ones they consider "friends" who either are still or were in the org at one time.. j

There are still a few. By and large I'm shunned despite the fact that I have done nothing wrong expect failing to attend the 5 weekly indoctrination sessions and I'm not hocking their drivel door to door.
The people that I still hear from sometimes are in halls other than my old one.

How Many Here Have Ever Been Before A Judicial Committee???
by minimus ini've been on plenty of jcs but i never was the target of the elders, judicially.....although i would be now.

I've been called in to "testify" before a few and have had a few of my own.
Even though I basically ratted on myself for my own commitees and was zealous to get my consciense clean, I did enjoy making one of the elders look stupid during my last one. He was playing the bad cop and was just being a real hard on. I made him look dumb enough that he actually apologized to me afterwards for not doing better.
I guess I should be thankful though for that whole mess though. After my last JC I went on a zealous rampage and decided to read the bible and all the publications. Even though I had been shaken by the generation change and some other things over the years, actually reading what I professed to believe totally killed my faith.
Just by the way, they never got too personal with me as far as details went on what I had done. Maybe they knew I would have told them to drop dead.
