Hahahahaha, you DO know you're on an ex JW site yes?
when a jehovah`s witness comes to your door..do you tell them to go away and close the door?..chat with them untill they run away?..toss them on the bbq and have everyone over for dinner?
...outlaw
I have never been called on yet, but if I am I'll be sure to tell them to mark me down as a Do Not Call, and not to 'lose' that information and come back, falsely pretending to forget.
If they have a kid with them, I'll probably speak my mind about them dragging up the kids in their religion.
just thought i'd share.. rise up!!
rise up!!
lyrics.
From Cursive's album Happy Hollow, there's a couple of songs to do with religion, not JWs directly, but some lines definitely fit. Just thought I'd share.
Rise Up!! Rise Up!! Lyrics
Cursive
dear preacher, thanks for making time for me today
hope you don't mind if i hide behind the curtain
it's been fifteen years since my last confession
by your good book's standards, i've sinned like a champion
but that book seems a tad bit out-dated
please forgive me, for questioning divinity
it's an ugly job, but i think i'm up for it
i'm not saying who's right
i'm just saying there's more than one way
to skin a religion
there's more than one way
to explain our existence
reverend, sir, i don't want to seem malevolent
my teenage angst is far behind me
but father, certainly it's troubling to see
all these people kneeling, instead of dealing
with the fact that we are all we have
so, rise up! rise up!
there's no one to worship!
but plenty of life to lose!
i'm not saying "let's burn down the church"
but do you want to hear my confession?
it's my greatest sin..
okay, here it is:
i wasted half my life on the thought that i'd live forever!
i wasn't raised, to seize the day, but to work and worship
'cause "he that liveth and believeth" supposedly never dies
rise up! rise up!
and live a full life!
'cause when it's over, it's done
so rise up! rise up!
dance and scream and love!
you're not the chosen one
and i'm not the chosen one
And one more-
Big Bang Lyrics
Cursive
Before we ever saw straight, we were grasping at straws
A debate was born, picket lines were drawn
There was this big bang once, now we're learning to use our thumbs
We need a purpose in life, a survival guide
We need explanations for how we arrived
There was this big bang once, now we're standing on our own two feet
There was this big bang once, we've been sharpening up our teeth
They say there was this big bang once, but the clergyman doesn't agree, oh no
There was this big bang once, but it don't jive with Adam and Eve
Original sin, idyllic garden
Some talking snake giving apples away
What would that snake say if he could only see us today?
Ha ha ha!
There was this big bang once, we were left here to fill in the blanks
There was this big bang once, now we're aimlessly drifting in space
We're gonna need an explanation for rational thought
And what it meant and the weight of our hearts
In a world of entropy, why can't we just simply be?
And don't feed me lies, intelligent design
There was this big bang once, why are we raptured on our knees?
Ha!
your going to the meetings whether you like it or not!
thousands of jehovah's witness children have heard those threatening words backed-up with spankings, whippings, or even severe beatings.
but what if they are too small to understand?
I never had a choice, from 0 - 16, and only gained a choice when I moved away from them. There is no freedom in that religion as a child.
If one of their children speaks up and says how much they love being at the meetings, they hold it up as a shining example of the child's own thinking. But the child's 'own thinking' is only allowed when the words have been pre-approved by the parents.
It has left me with a certain hate of any religion, but I'm learning as the years go on not to laugh inside at everyone who is religious. For some people it works, but not everyone, and certainly not unwilling children.

this time it wasn't coffee liquour.. i sat by her...stupid idea...she asked a question...i laughed uncontrolably...she asked if i was drunk...i sobered up quick unlike mel gibson..."of course not"...she said she will take me to the elders since jehovah does not accept drunkenness.
cool..i'll take drunkeness over apostasy any idea (edit: day) ... i drink to that!
.
Drink a bit more so you get the confidence to tell your mother she has no control over a son who's 31.
a quick example i would like to share with you guys to show the way the elders are carrying on today.
my father a ministeral servant, had an affair with another woman, and is still with this other woman.
(shes not a jw, but a so called "bible study") he lives with her and when consulted by the elders and asked "are you having pre marital relations woth this woman" his reply is "i cant im impotent!
I agree it a load of crap. Is his tongue broken too? Forked perhaps...
when things are going well, you can sorta ignore all the crap the jws have brought to your life, but sometimes you gotta let go, get it out.
i was talking with a nurse today who has to deal with the jw demands about blood transfusions, and i found myself speaking outright against the jws and their f*cked up beliefs.
if i could destroy that religion i would.
I vented alot tonight on msn, and it felt good. I was raised as one though, I didn't choose the life I had. You just feel powerless against it continuing to suck others into its icy grip.
