  The Bastard told on my dad

  so...everything had been fine for a while.

  i wrote my da letter, very clear and also very surprinsingly "apostate" according to the elders.

  so at first, dad does what he's told is right and starts the shunning.

  I am so sorry to hear this, what a dreadful situation. But, the pinching on the nose sounds pretty funny!

  What Kinds of Weird Things were you banned from or not allowed as a child?

  i could not have a big new kids on the block pin, or wear any new kids on the block pins in puplic becuase it was considered idolatry.

  i also could not wear my shoes without laces (it was cool back then) because it looked wordly.

  what other strange theings besides the usual holiday/birthday stuff weren't you allowed to do?

  JW sighting at the supermarket

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last weekend i was picking up a few things for dinner and was just ringing through the order when i noticed the person behind me examining the cake i was buying a little too closely.

  it was a jw woman we used to know.

  apparently she was hell bent on figuring out whether this cake was for some kind of celebration (it wasn't) so she could run back to her husband the elder and try to cause trouble for me.

  Elders that don't want to talk about spiritual things

  someone a month or so ago posted a comment here at jwd about how they were surprised that when elders got together, for instance for dinner or some other non-congregational activity, that they seldom or never talked about the bible or spiritual matters.

  (if anyone remembers who made that comment, please let me know!

  been trying to find the original thread for hours!).

  I don't remember elders talking to much about spiritual things after the meeting, unless it could be counted as time!

  Oh I just thought of two more....wasn't allowed to wear the peace sign or the yin/yang sign. And then of course, no going to any school dances because that could lead to SEX!!!!!

  I remembered another one: We weren't allowed to watch HE-MAN because he said he was the almight HE-MAN, and only Jehovah was almighty. And we weren't allowed to watch Roseanne because the kids attitudes were to wordly and disrespectful.

  Pratt1---I always wanted to join Girl Scouts!!! I was so jealous of the meetings they got to have on Fridays and those dorky outfits, I wanted one so bad. I wonder why that was forbidden?
