2009 Drama Synopsis and Comments

by jabberwock in

this year's drama was based on the parable of the prodigal son.

the theme was "your brother was dead and came to life".

as some have probably heard, it is a modern day story based on that parable, so there are no fancy costumes or fake beards.. .

Bad things happen to everyone who leaves the truth.

How utterly predictable, yet sad that people have such a low opinion of worldly people. I actually had to leave the truth because I felt that I was surrounded by arseholes yet when I went out and made friends with worldly people I felt so much more refreshed & happy.

I had one of those discussions this weekend - Am I getting anywhere?

by BonaFide in

last week during bible highlights, a sister commented on leviticus 19:28 about not having a tattoo.

i also commented, saying that we are not under the law, but the principle should be taken into consideration.. a sister i don't speak with very often called me.

she is in the same congregation as some of my family.

They go round and round in circles and more or less say the same thing - whatever the WT says is what we should do & if you don't then you're fucked.

I Just Told My Two JW Sisters Off

after all these years, the two of them are still 'in' and i have been 'out' over 25 years.

neither of them could ever get along and i always played mediator.

they fight and disagree on everything!

jambon1

Welcome.

Never mind what Jesus would have done. You'll never be that perfect so give yourself a break huh?

Jehovah's Witnesses who shun others are pure filth IMO. I just don't see any humanity in people acting this way.

At one time my neighbour JW elder smart ass decided he wouldn't speak to me (even though I'm not d/f'd). Fair enough I thought. Lets see how he likes it. So I shunned him back.

i had nice friends that i chose.

i loved them & they loved me.

we had some nice friends.. but i do find it difficult to be extreemly close to people who stand by the rules of d/f.. my worldly friends are astounded that modern day people treat others like this.. i have found lovely friends in the 'wicked world'.

I have found lovely friends in the 'wicked world'. I feel more relaxed with them that I ever did when in the org.

A "My Book of Bible Stories" tale that I've always hated

by JimmyPage in

jw
friends

i've always hated story #53: "jepthah's promise".

i always felt sorry for the daughter who had to spend the rest of her days at the tabernacle because her father made a numb-nuts promise to god.

who did he think he was, making promises for other people?

The lady clinging to the rock with the baby in her arms. She's about to be killed by the rising water.

Classic JW child mindfuck.

Jehovah's Witnesses & their cynical lust for negativity

by jambon1 in

jw

for me this is one of the most hideous things about the jw's.. it's like they are willing on the next world disaster.

they are gleeful if anyone that they know comes into some sort of trouble if they are not following 'bible standards'.

they simply aren't interested in anything good.

jambon1

Yes, in my own case I started to feel utterly depressed due to feeding my mind on their doctrines & viwpoints. I wanted to just kill myself. Like nothing was worth living for.

Then I gradually began to re-associate with worldly people who were lovely & refreshing to be around. It made me sit up & take note of all the good things that are happening in the world.

Also, when I went to meetings I was getting a hard time from people despite being a m/s & trying very hard to live a good JW life.

When I associated with worldly people, I was being made to feel good about myself & all the positive aspects of my life.

I began to realise that it was time to get off the WTS 'nothings-ever-good-enough' merrygoround.

Life is good. You only get one chance. Live it!

They simply aren't interested in anything good. I remember thinking along those lines when I was a JW & it lead to me having the most depressing outlook on life.

No wonder most of them are on anti-depressants.
