I just got back from my circuit assembly !

5g0, the American "market" for converts is exhausted so the most growth is coming from other countries/languages less likely to get anti-WT info. Also, it seems that Americans in general have less interest in religion than Catholic spanish countries, so that makes sense to me.

This is why "foreign language" is such a big deal to the WT right now, it opens up the pool for converts.

Interesting.

anyone ever been in a meeting and notice the constant head-nodding in zombified agreement that witnesses do.

it drives me crazy!

especially since it seems to increase and be accompanied by little "hmmms" whenever someone says something that is complete bullshit.

Hey everybody, yeah, haven't been posting much lately, been busy, probably write something about my nauseating circuit assembly soon. The CO and DO had a little "Dueling talks" on the topic of having children "in this system" Unified my ass!

friends

being the paranoid, inactive, with alot of family and "friends" still in the org.

i'm sure it's been discussed before but i don't recall reading on that topic here on jwd.

i know that fear prevented me from posting while i was exiting as an elder.

Specific banned shows, songs, etc...?

by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

i know the society tells people not to listen to rock n roll cause its from teh satan, not to watch r rated movies because they're "worldly", etc.

but i was wondering if folks had any specific instances where one song, one show, one movie, or whatever was singled out as being particularly 'evil', and banned on an individual basis?

i was never a jw, but was in the worldwide church of god...the two are rather similar, i've seen many (and made quite a few myself) comparisons on the board; and i can remember as a child that every once in a while certain things would get brought up as being more evil and worldly than others.. examples of specific bans:.

The other day at a bookstudy the topic of apostates came up and the head zombie (conductor) asked "Why don't we need to hear the other side of the story?" Everyone stopped and "thought" for a little while. I bolted myself to my seat so as to avoid screaming at the top of my lungs. After a long pause someone answered "Because this is what Jehovah's telling us right HERE" and pointed to his revelation book.

The head zombie had a look of contentment on his face and the bobble-heads kept nodding and nodding...

I wonder If anyone notices I haven't nodded in a LONG while.

JW kids with Bebo & other such accounts. Its scandelous!

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

for those who dont know, bebo is a kind of free web site thing that you can use to put lots of info about yourself, friends & pictures etc.

i think its a bit like myspace or whatever its called.. anyway, i got asked to look at an individuals page and of course it had links etc to this persons friends.

all were jw`s.. if i were still a witness, the stuff that is put on these websites would have concerned me.

StillGroggy

I use myspace and it's a little bit of normalcy. Of course it's banned by the society in their little fucking additions to the bible they call "letters".

Help! they're giving me a talk #4 entittled:" IDENTIFYING APOSTATES"

by dark angle in

this is quite awkward for me to give!

our elder gave me that assignment last week and should be delivered next week on the theocratic ministry school.

considering i have very unconventional views for the wts about blood, evolution, bible, and the gb, delivering this talk seemd quite maladroit.

StillGroggy

Get up on the stage and point to yourself... JK. That's really funny that they gave you that talk. Kinda like I was the WT reader about violent entertainment!
