CO's, - the most idolized man on the planet. The stars were aligned when he came, all showed up, all were in awe to have him in their house, make dinner for him, touch his clothes. It made up for not celebrating birthdays of loved ones, father's day, and mother's day. I mean, we shouldn't put any "man" up on a pedestal....well, any man except for the CO, that is.

Name Things JWs Try To "Demonize"
by minimus inthe witnesses are always trying to scare the faithful by telling them that if they don't adhere to the teachings and lifestyle of the brotherhood-----that bad things are going to happen to them.
for example, they might tell you of brother regret who left the "truth", had "fun" in the "world" and then got aids.
now he's back in the "truth" but he only has months to live................can you think of other examples of how the witnesses try to spook the rank and file?

Fortune cookies. In my family, you were allowed to eat the cookie, but not ever read the fortune. Else, demons would follow you. Boo!

Italian Horn Jewelry
Also, I don't remember the name of the item....but in New England homeowners put up a round plaque on the side of the home. It contained a geometric/quilt type pattern. The New Englanders said that these plaques warded off bad spirits. Of course, the JWs said they attracted the demons.

Everyone has a song
by Wordly Andre ineveryone has a song that reminds them of a particular moment in their lives, happy or sad or sometimes indifferent.
its only that when you hear that song it takes you back even catching you off guard and suddenly your back in high school or remembering someone you loved and lost.
how many of you have a song that reminds you of leaving the org.

Dreams by Van Halen takes me back to a time when I lost a love, was young, started to figure out the JW lie.... I had to learn to
"Run, run, run away
like a train runnin' off the track
got the truth bein' left behind
falls between the cracks
standin' on broken dreams
never losin' sight, ah
well just spread your wings
We'll get higher and higher
straight up we'll climb
we'll get higher and higher
leave it all behind" -

Child molesters. I knew two. Both were not reprimanded, but the children were blamed by the elders. Plus, the families were specifically told to let "Jehovah handle it."

COLLEGE!
by RichieRich inoh, so in the midst of everything else, college is goin well.. about 30 % of my high school graduating class came here, so its really just like high school part2.
i have 2 morning classes, and 2 night classes, so that way the majority of my schooling gets done on 2 days of the week instead of 4. last night was my first night in my english 111 class.
i already knew thaqt there was one witness in there, but its someone who i've kept up with, and someone who is cool with me, as i am.

Yes, the best is to not try to make her squirm. Kill her with kindness.

Paramount drops Tom Cruise
by Scully ini just heard the announcement that paramount studios has dropped tom cruise.
even though his recent movies have brought in record breaking revenues, they cited his recent "unacceptable" off-screen behaviour as the reason why his contract will not be renewed.. excellent business decision imo.. tom cruise's mission aborted at studio.

Tom Cruise is being persecuted, making all the Scientologists even more devout. I wonder if other Scientologist actors and actresses will breach contracts with Paramount in retaliation....

What a great story. This chick is going to learn about the real world, that doesn't give a flip about the JWs or their stupid shunning policy! I just had a vision...this chick will be in next year's assembly, talking about how bad and inhospitable college is. Bring in "Crisis of Conscience" and read it before class. That will make her squirm.
