I watched two of the videos... it's been two years since I last bought anything the WTBTS was selling, and it's amazing the repulsion I feel watching these. Like a physical reaction, heart rate goes up and everything. Feels like falling back into the pit you finally managed to climb out of.

Don't think I can watch the other ones just yet. Bastards.

Bumper stickers:

LOSE BRAIN NOW! ASK ME HOW!

My other car is a 4-door service vehicle.

Support our troof!

Ray Franz for President.

I have nine hours this month... will you be number ten?

Big Joe is watching you. (alongside pair of sinister eyes)

I would rather have SMALLPOX than a VACCINE. (picture of dripping syringe labeled "pus"

Friends don't let friends get dunked.

40-year old virgin... ask me why!

Your "No Soliciting" sign is powerless against me... I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Are you not interested in religion in general, or is it just my creepiness?

Prohibition is from the Devil!! (picture of Joe)

Come to the Kingdom Hall and try our NEW light!

Babylon the Great has fallen... your move, Christendom.

This one is appropriate:

Hey hambeak, to answer your first question I think everyone who has been through the Society has been messed up to some extent. If a would heals successfully, you get a scar... if it doesn't, you've still got an open wound.

What is the point here? If it isn't obvious, you need to see a mental health professional. I think Terry has some good suggestions.

BizzyBee, did you listen to Obama's speech on race?

Now, when we leave the JW's, how many of us are indignant, angry, militant towards the organization for the things it has done? How many times have we seen an ex-dub come here and attack the org? Now, after things change..we have kids who never grew up as a JW. Do you think they will attack JW's in the same way we do?

Wright is from a time where segregation was still legally practiced in America. Obama is not.

Sometimes time doesn't heal.

Yep. I suspected it was taken out of context. Fear mongering is still part of the game. I for one have been impressed with Obama's reluctance to play that game. He has had many chances to play dirty against Hillary and McCain, but so far has held back.

He could have also tried to downplay this issue with Wright, but instead chose to address the root problem, instead of the symptom. This is the kind of leadership we need right now.

"Bad" songs at JW weddings

by B_Deserter in

when i was in my teens, jw weddings were quite the social affair.

of course, the music was strictly regulated by the elders.

somehow though, in each wedding, someone managed to get the song "you shook me all night long" by ac/dc into the dj's rotation, and all of the "bad" witnesses would have a blast dancing to it.

mavie

My JW wedding. The DJ's are dubs. They begin to play "Love Shack" by the B-52's. The crowd loves it and everyone is jumping around in that special dub dance way.

My new (ex)wife is horrified and gives me the evil eye. The one that says stop now or your life will be hell. So I have to walk over and tell the dub DJ's to kill it. Some slow stuff played next and killed the party. Everyone sat down.

"Bang, bang, bang, on the door baby!"

LOL.

Sillyness.

Did you know I am a SATANIST?

by Tired of the Hypocrisy in

several months ago, my wife's drunken, wife abusing, bully of a jw uncle offered (we didn't ask...he offered, ok?

) to allow us to use some space on his property to store some things we had in a 10x10x8 storage unit we were paying for.

it sounded good since we are short of cash most of the time and it would only be for about 3-4 months.

So...LeVeyan or Theistic Satanist bigd?
