  "Bad" songs at JW weddings

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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.

  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.

  Did you know I am a SATANIST?

  by Tired of the Hypocrisy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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.

  my great nephew, 8 months old, was killed yesterday.

  so far appears to have been murdered by his sitter, a couple with whom my nephew and his girlfriend have been living.

  they beat and drowned this little baby.

  Sorry about your loss.

  As soon as I was out of the dubs I registered and voted. Glad I did, it was an empowering experience.

  Today I learned not to be afraid to be called Atheist

  by Gopher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was inspired to go by a fellow poster on the board who encouraged me to examine atheism a little more closely.

  i am glad i went.. (now if anyone wants to come here and encourage me to be religious, sorry i won't respond to that on this thread.

  feel free to start your own thread about the wonders of belief.).

  Welcome. I too consider myself an atheist and questioned why some consider the need for agnostism in the first place.
  
  You might enjoy this article from the magazine 'tricyle'.

  Fundamentalists and 'militant' atheists both have it wrong, according to this author.
