My ex-wife kept all her R rated movies hidden in a bathroom drawer. I didn't care, but you should have seen her face when our teen daughter found them!
It was like she found porn!

I totally lost it with my uncle today
by bob1999 inhe got talking about the tetragrammaton, etc... one thing lead to another and i ended up yelling at him to answer "what happen to the generation of 1914?".
he claims to have never taught that armageddon would come before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away.
now, he didn't say the wts never taught that, he just said that he never taught that??

I think the one question that I like to ask is, "Is there anything that the WTS could do that would make them start to think they aren't who they claim to be?" ANYTHING??
If they say yes, then just ask them what that one thing would be. Now they are committed, and on the defense, where you don't want to be ( then show them how the WTS has probably already done whatever it is that should make them start to question).
If they say no, then simply explain to them that this is clear proof that they have been brain-washed, or at the very least need to be more open-minded. Gymbob

As Much as I hate to say this,I am glad for have being a J Dub
by SuperApostateGirl ini know this sounds crazy however being raised a jehovah's witness gave me the tools of respect for my fellow man.
also my parents had a huge role as well,of course.. i just find today there are soo many twisted people who are amused by the sickest of circumstances and pride themselves on belittling people.i mean i am the first to say.
i love funny sarcasm and making fun of the jehovah's witness religion because i believe in my heart its a crazy cult and way out in left field.

I really believe I would have been better off without the witnesses in my life.
When you balance it all out.....
I would not have married someone based on their, "spiritual interests", but, on love, that....spark, and what we had in common.
I would have gotten a much better education, instead of thinking all I needed was the Awake magazine.
I would have planned for a career and retirement, instead of Armageddon.
I would stiil have a relationship with my family.
Frankly, I could go on all day with this list. The fact of the matter is, I wish I had never been a witness. Gymbob

I just came from my elder's meeting
by BonaFide injust to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

If it was me, I'd tell them that it appears very obvious that the elders do not want you in the congregation any longer. Remind them of how far they have gone to try and find proof against you. Then, stop answering the phone when they call and stop going to meetings for a while, and make them feel like you have been hurt and stumbled by what they the elders have done to a innocent member of the congregation.
In the end though, if they have made up their minds that they don't want you around, you will be DF'd. Gymbob

How about Adam and Eve not being able to enter back into the G of E because god puts a flaming sword there? So then who in the bible made the very first weapon??

A man sits down in a restaurant and can hear the very old couple in the next booth talking about how they are celebrating their 50th anniversary that night. "Do you remember what we did that night, honey?" says the older woman. Her husband says, "Yes I do deary....It was right here at this very place, I took you out the back door and put you up against that back fence and did you right!"
So the old woman says, "Do you know what we could do?" with a little twinkle in her eye. Well, the man listening in on this conversation can't believe what he's hearing, and the next thing he sees is this very old couple heading out the back door!
So he thinks to himself, "They wouldn't dare, I think I'll look out back just to see". So he gets up and looks out the back door, he sees the old couple with their pants down up against the fence and they are howling and yelling and really going at it!
So the guy goes back inside the restaurant and after a few minutes here comes the old couple back in through the back door, they set down back at their booth and they look pretty.... spent. The man who saw them can't help but turn around and ask them, "I saw what you did out back, how can you do that at your age?!
The man turns around to him and says, "I know what that must have looked like to you, but trust me sonny, 50 years ago, that WASN'T an electric fence!" Gymbob

What should I do at elders meeting with me?
by BonaFide ini am serving in an appointed position.
if you read my previous posts you will see.
an old girlfriend is accusing me of "grinding" which is porneia according to the society, and a disfellowshipping offense.
