Hardships and Assemblies

by Sunspot in

i just left a post on the "pa convention" thread concerning some of the hardships and difficulties that jws had to (or some here still have to?

) endure just to either get to a convention or what they go through after getting to the convention.. having to trot around from designated doors to the restrooms (rather than being ordered to use the door they told you to) no matter where your family was sitting..... or having you and your family have to climb way too many stairs on the last upper tier to find seats.....while plenty of empty seats remained on the ground floor that were never used that whole day?.

or the designated wts-regulation-sized cooler you had to lug into the stadium because you weren't allowed to leave the site to get a snack or a drink?.

awww yes i remember the rediculousness! the last conventions i went to i was 13, 14 and i spent all my time either looking for hotties with my binoculars, doodling on my notepad or wandering around looking for a Mother whose baby or toddler i could help with since this meant we got to hang around in the empty hallways during the talks.

i always felt bad for the older people struggling to make it to the conventions and people with small children- sitting there ALL DAY LONG that in itself is bad enough. also forcing people who are already giving all they have ($) to pay for accomodations and then asking for MORE donations on top of that- pretty crappy imo.

brings up another topic- who is organizing protests outside conventions?

yeah, so this year, for the first time ever, ever, ever, my roommates and i are having a halloween party, and there will be much candy given out to the small army of children on our block who will no doubt be trick or treating.

i'm really looking forward to it.

has anyone ever thought of getting all costumed up on halloween and then hitting all of the elder's houses?

Did u want to leave the org bcause u were doing something immoral?

by Will2Power in

jw
friends

..and then sought to justify your leaving the organisation/religion by researching websites like this (to salve your conscience, justify continuing in your pleasurable but unscriptural lifestyle), or did you sincerely leave purely because you discovered certain false teachings, scandals, etc, while still living a moral, christian lifestyle?

be honest now, i mean really honest.

(this is not meant to offend anyone but viewed like a survey).

1. WTS did not care about my future (education) WTS did not care that everything they taught ME growing up in thier religion taught me to be self destructive in REALITY.

2. WTS is immoral, lies, covers up its mistakes, protects child abusers, propogates mass ignorance, props up immoral people to lead its followers.

3. was CREATED by two men in the last 100 yrs of recorded history- sorry guys not fallin for the BS - laughable

Things You'd Like To Tell Or Ask A JW......

by minimus in

jw
friends

if you could have, while you were a member of the congregation, did you ever want to tell an elder, a pioneer, a circuit overseer, an elder's wife, etc.

off and let them know what you really thought of them??

if you could, now, what would you like to tell these self righteous people about what you really think??

Bodhisattva1320

hehe this is a fun post

i got to say everything i wanted to on my final visit to the KH when i was interrogated/accused of some wild crap by another teen in the hall. (i dont know if those elders ever saw a 15 y/o stand up to thier bullshit, from the look in thier eyes, they hadn't hahaha). Any other lurking elders/GB that needs a young woman to verbally beat your ass down PM me.

i wouldnt need to say much but i would love to laugh in thier faces. especially a certain elder that got DF'd for banging another elder's wife. these two fornicatin' jws were THE most upstanding/popular people in the cong. it was a huge upset when the gossip broke and they both got DF'd. (and then after wallowing, both were reinstated) Many years later i heard the 'good' elder left his fornicating wife for a worldly woman! FINALLLY!!

Lorenz Reibling, Knocking, and the WTS

by Jourles in

first off, i'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone else would like to take a stab at where this might lead.

scandalous?

probably not, but interesting nonetheless.. if you take a look at the knocking website, you will notice at the bottom of each page is a list of supporters.

Bodhisattva1320

think that now would be a good time for ALL of us to e mail their states Public Broadcast and in a
"Thoughtful intelligent acceptable" manner, let them know about the REAL wbts.
You know- pedophiles-destroyed marriages and families- etc.
Outoftheorg

Awesome idea!!!

i cant believe they would even TRY this crap. leave the movie making to movie makers with educated opinions, not regurgitated BS, and go back to knocking on doors.
