Welcome Jehovah

jehovah, .

oh how many times i've prayed to you and felt your scornful laugh from yonder skies, how you mock me and laugh at me.

my creation is for your amusement obviously, kinda like the celestial version of the sunday comics, only i appear in technicolor everyday for you.

Sailor Ripley

You just put into words, and quite eloquently, what I've felt for some time.

Good for you. I buy you one pint of whatever you want.

Name Things JWs Try To "Demonize"

by minimus in

jw
friends

the witnesses are always trying to scare the faithful by telling them that if they don't adhere to the teachings and lifestyle of the brotherhood-----that bad things are going to happen to them.

for example, they might tell you of brother regret who left the "truth", had "fun" in the "world" and then got aids.

now he's back in the "truth" but he only has months to live................can you think of other examples of how the witnesses try to spook the rank and file?

I asked a while back in another thread of any known, actual Demon sightings or presence. I heard so much about every freakin' thing being "Demonized" that I'm sure someone would have seen something. Nothing that couldn't be explained medically.

Back to the thread, my cousins and I were told by a Sis at the Hall that the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was demonized as, ready for this: God is the first encounter, Jesus is the second; see where this is going? Yes, Satan was the Third.

Absolute lunacy. I should start a "Ghostbuster" business and promote myself to the Dubs.

JW sighting at the supermarket

last weekend i was picking up a few things for dinner and was just ringing through the order when i noticed the person behind me examining the cake i was buying a little too closely.

it was a jw woman we used to know.

apparently she was hell bent on figuring out whether this cake was for some kind of celebration (it wasn't) so she could run back to her husband the elder and try to cause trouble for me.

Sailor Ripley

Dansk,

Then we fired up the BBQ and had a wonderful dinner.

Hot cake, eh!
You made me laugh so hard that sodie water shot outta my nose!

Nascar - Tony Stewart

does anyone else have a massive crush on tony stewart or is it just me?

i hope it is just me.

Sailor Ripley

Poppers,

If you go to just one race... even the cheap seats, not Busch Series, but the Nextel Cup with the Big Boys, and I think you'll understand the "love."

It's extremely powerful, physically. It can be mentally if you get to know the drivers. Of course Dale Jr. is someone that you really want to know! Seriously, look and read about them all then pick one and follow him.

It's a real hoot! Hanging out on a Sunday with 250,000 of your closest friends.

IS JWD YOUR SHRINK?

by Dansk in

jw
friends

i find this forum immensely therapeutic.

posters here have helped me with personal issues as well as historical, religious, evolutionary, etc.

i think this is the best psychiatric forum for xjws anywhere, kinda like my own personal shrink!.

Sailor Ripley

I certainly feel less alone on this big, blue ball because of this site. I have never seen or talked to a real shrink so I can't formally compare; but i'd say talking with y'all makes me feel pretty good.

None of my current friends know what it's like to get dragged outta 3rd Grade class before the Christmas party to go and pile into some pioneer's beater station wagon with all your other Dub buddies.

Everyone has a song

by Wordly Andre in

jw
friends

everyone has a song that reminds them of a particular moment in their lives, happy or sad or sometimes indifferent.

its only that when you hear that song it takes you back even catching you off guard and suddenly your back in high school or remembering someone you loved and lost.

how many of you have a song that reminds you of leaving the org.

Sailor Ripley

"For Those About to Rock" AC/DC

I lost and gained a lot the day that I first heard that song/album. Anyone remember Malt Duck Liquor? Little bottles of Red, Yummy, Malt Liquor. When you're 13 it don't take many of 'em to make you do not-right things. Ever heard of a full-face hitter made from a gas mask? Yeah, did I mention I was 13.

I think that's the day that Jehobee scratched me from the "Nice Kids" list.
