Another JW Urban Legend Thread
by Funchback inthreads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.
they are loads of fun to read.
how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

Most witnesses despise the need to do the ministry.
Understandably.

Episode 4 of This JW Life is out now......
by dubstepped inspent all day yesterday writing two episodes and recording and editing one podcast of this jw life.
so, episode 4 of my podcast is now out.
i took a minute away from my story (though it is still laced throughout this one) to lay out what goes on inside of a kingdom hall, who the players are, what they believe, and hopefully set a foundation that will help explain my story as one.

I thought it was a very comprehensive and easy to understand run down of JW beliefs. The little part about field service and coffee breaks brought back the memories - the feeling of doing a fruitless work just because you 'had too' and it being so unenjoyable that your main highlight was a coffee and a bit of cake. Crazy how I put myself through it looking back.
It strikes me (and you can correct me if I'm wrong here) that when you verbally cover their beliefs, it's very difficult not to let out the odd snigger. I could hear the laughter in your voice at some points and I think it's indicative of just how absurd the belief system is. I've been away from it for over a decade and when I'm listening to the beliefs it's actually making me laugh AND cringe at the same time.
Good podcast. Really like your tone and pace. If I'm correct, the next podcast is relating to shunning. Something I'm very passionate about. The more that speak out against this the better.
Good job. Thanks for the work & effort you put into it.

I was in a different area at the time but yes, Glen Mcfarlane disbanded a cong then ended up having a mental breakdown because of the related stress.

Ian Shanks. The Barr (juice) family. Cute and lovely CO characters ike Les Perkins. The Edinburgh cong that had a white shirt hung up for visiting elders that wore coloured shirts. Dave Algar (DO) and his atttactive wife. The money stealing scandal of an out of town cong in the east. Guys wearing kilts to weddings and being counselled on the full outfit. The elder in the highlands that gave his leaving gift as a public talk around 2003!
So many memories.
