I'm going poo-less
by rebel8 inno, this is not my annual march colon cancer awareness thread!*.
a certain poo-less poster here has inspired me to stop using shampoo.. according to various hippie types, shampoo forces your scalp to produce extra oils and it takes a while to adjust.
sudsing detergents are bad for the environment too.. plus they have carcinogens and flying spaghetti monster knows i don't need any more of those.. so....have you gone poo-less?.

Lou Rawls doing a colonoscopy! Hilarious. And I love that song; it's one of the few that's down in my range.

Shawshank Redemption and leaving Jehovah's Witnesses
by AllTimeJeff ini doubt very seriously that i am the first to make the connection of exiting jw's and much of the movie "shawshank redemption".. frequently, the injustice that many experience as baptized members of jehovah's witnesses cause them to want to resign, to leave.. but it is a prison of sorts.
if you leave and announce it, you are shunned.
and no one will talk to you.. shawshank is such a remarkable movie to me for its simple, underlying theme; finding meaning in our suffering, and never stopping the fight against injustice, esp against our own freedom.. the best part of the movie is the line "you can either get busy living, or get busy dying.".

Jeff and Sphere, great point about Brooks. There are too many Brookses. And I hope there won't be any more of them, someday.

Would Witnesses REALLY drink the "Kool-aid" if the faithful slave told them to? Yes or no?
by Witness 007 ina "spiritual leader" tells his followers the must put on rebok running shoes and "drink the cool-aid" to join a ufo in the tail of a comet and "go to a better world" so, afew dozen young people do just that to get "beamed up" to the mothership.
heavens gate cult 1990's.. my mother says "she is faithful to the organisation till her death" which makes me wonder if they ordered a mass suicide like the reverend jim jones did to escape a "great tribulation"....how many witnesses would really drink the cool-aid?...
without a gun pointed at their head of course!.

The really crazy dubs and the older ones probably could be conditioned into drinking the easiest. Then come the hardcore JWs. What percentage are they? I don't know. Maybe 30% or less. I think everyone else would freak out and not partake.

Interesting quote from COC Re: Generation teaching
by palmtree67 ini just read this today:.
(pp 257) "reports drifted back to brooklyn that he (albert schroeder) was suggesting to others that the expression "this generation" as used by jesus at matthew 24:34 applied to the generation of "anointed ones", and that as long as any of these were still living, such "generation" would not have passed away".
schroeder's views then ( in 1978 ) were rejected by the governing body.. but doesn't this sound like the explanation given now of the generation???.

It sounds like generation explanation #5. But it's a situation that ends up continuing on in perpetuity, because new cracker-munchers show up every year.

For JWs Who Now 'Smell The Coffee:' A Survival Mechanism
by Room 215 infor those of us lucky enough to have shed our rose-colored glasses, but still want to maintain relationwhipes with family and friends still entangled in the borg's web, a pragmatic approach, akin to, but less radical than "fading": just slip out to the periphery, treat the kh as one would a church, i. e. show up once in a while, make the occasional comment (ideally without compromising your real convictions and, better yet, worded as to provoke a bit of thought without raising eyebrows); being politely but non-commital, and, after a few "so longs," go home after the closing prayer.

Actually, you'd be surprised how many people really won't miss you once you quit for good. It is tougher if you have a lot of JW family that keep harrassing you but as for the so-called "friends" at the hall...once you miss so many meetings, they'll pretty much forget about you. Even people who you thought were pretty close to will disappear.
I can corroborate that. It makes me so glad that I didn't completely sever ties to non-JW friends, who are all much less backstabby than they all were.
