my momma walked in caught me dozing and she saw what was on my desk ... a bottle of coffee liqueur.. she said if i get drunk she would talk to the elders and have me disfellowshipped.
you would do me that favor???
i didn't say that but i thought it.. .
Do it up right...scotch and scotch chasers.
the article about the mennonite family becoming jws is on the main page of the wts website.. http://watchtower.org/library/w/2005/9/1/article_01.htm.
in the course of the article they give a little history of the sect but the juicy parts that would interest most of us here in "apostate land" are in the second half of the article.
some snippets:.
"Why do these experiences always happen in some faraway place, with such simple folk who only want to learn the truth, and instinctively seem to know that they will learn it from the JWs?"
Makes it harder to refute.
mum and stepdad were watching the news, as i walked in mum cut short what she was saying.. "this could be the shout of peace and secur...".
it frustrates me, whenever there is a conflict or war the witnesses are on the edge of their seat, hoping to see some huge disaster so they can rub their hands in glee and then all be saved and get to live in a paradise as god's chosen ones while everyone else dies a horrible death.. i asked her if she realised that "peace and security" had already been said several times in the past and still no end!!
she said to me that the society teach, that this could either be a long-term shout of peace of security or a statement said and then the end.. so i suppose this gives them an excuse should it fail to happen after a huge announcement of peace of security or a lot of events happen.
They are all so full of $hit.
i will try to make a long story short.
me and my wife (faithful jw) had a problem with an evil pioneer sister elder's wife in our former hall.
through the course of trying to work it out we decided we would be better off in another hall.
I guess I won't be re-appointed as a servant again.
Servant is the operative word. Do you really want to be a maid?
the wts loooves to harp on the story of joseph fleeing from potiphar's wife (see this week's watchtower article).
it provides a most convenient moral story with which to command young people .
i've often wondered if joseph rejected mrs potiphar for reasons other than chastity.
Stealth, with a cheeky remark like that, I would tell you to go sit in the corner. But I can see that you're already there.
But ya still love little old me...
went to a few yesterday.
it was hot as hell but i did find a few things.
about 4 pairs of jeans for my daughter (they fit thank god), a new gap sweater for my daughter (it still had the tag on it), an ice cream maker for 5 bucks, and a few baby toys for the baby that i'm now babysitting.. it was a good haul.
Looky here what happened to this cute little pioneer sister
Nice rack!!!!!
looking back at the 10 or so cases of disfellowshipping i recall, i think only 1 was due to the orwellian borg spy system.
he was ratted out.. all the other cases were actually "confessions" by people that otherwise would have gotten away with it.
i am wondering is these percentages.
my then elder husband ratted me out Now THAT sucks....so does my computer.
i had a client the other day locally, that was a jw....i did the service call on a saturday at 12:30 pm
they pulled up...and my first thought...the father is in a suit and tie....the mother is in a very modest dress.
before they even got out of the car...i knew they had just gotten back from field service.
you should have left www.jehovahs-witnesses.com as thier home page.
Maybe not wise, but ooooooooooooooooooohhh, so much fun
i plan on exiting out quietly out of "the truth.
" i mean, i got school and becoming financially secure first before i just jump the gun.
is that smart?
The best, and easiest way to get wet, is to jump in the pool.
