I always thought of going from the "Watchtower" and "Awake" magazines to the "Left Behind" series like somebody going from heroin to methdone; one crutch for another......

What did you do to keep yourself amused at the KH?

by be wise in

when i was very young about 12 or 13 my brother [he's mad, not much older] sometimes used to do a cheeky magic trick during the watchtower[god, this was the most boring of them all, i think].

he used to put his hands by his side and miraculously the books on his lap would rise all by themselves [yeah, you guessed it ...morning glory], well it made me laugh my head off.

i bet people could see my shoulders bouncing up and down from the back row.

Look down some of the sisters' blouses while doing handling the microphones. And while sitting I'd draw bubbles over the character's head in the magazines and put different mad libs in them.

lonliness, doormats and making friends

by SpiceItUp in

had a conversation today about how when people leave the dubs, or make any other major life decisions, that you end up being lonely.

all your "friends that you used to have are no longer there and you have to start afresh.

i remember when i was younger, right when i quit the meetings, i would do anything just to make people like me.

That's a tricky one. I think I was always lonely, whether I was a dub or not. Now it's much more overt. After being D/F'd my wife and I split up; I moved out here to Colorado for a "fresh start" and such, but it's not easy at all. Good luck.

Which did you prefer? Watchtower or Awake?

by LDH in

when i was a jw, i really couldn't stomach the watchtowers.

the only articles i would read would be for the family study/watchtower study.

it seemed so archaic and old-people-ish.. i did read the awake from cover to cover almost every time.

An enema or catheter?

Why Are the Democrats So Evil?

by cellomould in

jw

george bush took advantage of your fears of 'big government' to get into office.... ...so are the democrats proponents of 'big government'?

do they love in-your-face politics?

do they want to give all of your hard-earned money away to good-for-nothing slobs?.

DanielHaase

I still crack up when people think there is a true difference in Dems and Reps- let's just call them "Republicrats" from now on. They are all whores in the capitalist gang-bang anyway.
