i was talking to my trying-to-exit-the-cult fraternal twin brother yesterday about life, the jehovah's witness cult, and our jw parents.. he repeated, calmly and succintly, that he hates our parents.
i could not argue with him.
i used to, being a parent myself.
TheCoolerKing - Thanks for extending your friendship to me brother. You're really much less evil in person than I was expecting.
Why that's the nicest thing that anyone has said about me in a long time!
You're welcome bud! And thanks for hanging out with me. I had a blast!
You da man NVR!!!

Congrats badboy!!!
And here's a drink for you too!!!
Have a great day and weekend!!!
i always had to pioneer and it sucked... in mississippi it was 100 degrees and very very humid.
it was like a greenhouse.
we would get all dressed up and just pour sweat.
I feel your pain Renee!!!
Being raised as a JW definately sucked! Unlike you though, I didn't pioneer when I was young. But I do remember those hot summer days in Field Service on Sat. mornings! Oh and how about those wonderful summer assemblies too! Sitting outside and baking in the sun for hours at the packed stadiums. Wearing a tie and having the sweat pour down my back. And even worse, we never had an umbrella or tent to sit under!
We didn't have any AC at home either. But we weren't allowed to play outside with the neighborhood kids because they were "worldly". We weren't allowed to go anywhere, like the "cool" neighborhood pool for instance. Again, that's where the "worldly" kids were. No camp, no amusement parks, etc. (Again we were told, "Too many 'worldly' kids are there!")
As sad as it sounds, I actually looked forward to going to the 5 meetings during the week...because the Kingdom Hall had AC!!

CoolerKing, I like your style! I'll be calling you momentarily.
Thanks for the call NVR! I'm flying out tonight for Germany! LOL
Should be there in time for us to have a few tomorrow evening!!!
How do you say, "Another round bartender!", in German???
at least that's what i said back in the 80's when she got pregnant.. so what did you expect?
another "i'm leaving" thread?.
go to hell and have a nice weekend, especially if you're off monday.. warlock .
Good one Warlock! You have a great weekend too!!!
By the way, I've been to hell...when I was a JW for 23 years!!!
my (ex)wife and i asssociated with a few other couples and was considered "popular".
how was your social life?
did you have much of one?
1) It is hard to fit in socially when your father is not a JW. You are viewed as bad association.
That's very true!
That was the situation that I was in. My dad was "worldly" and my mother was the JW. We always had a tough time fitting in. And on top of that, my mother didn't allow us to associate with any kids, witnesses or not. I was a social outcast.
what's the daggiest album you've ever bought?
i'm talking about the sort of music that you hear now and cringe at.
for me it was bananarama's wow!
OMG! You guys are bringing back some awful memories for me!
This thread made me remember that girl band, what were they called? They had everyone "Walking Like An Egyptian!".
Ah, that's right, they were called "The Bangles". But I cant recall the album. A friend gave me that album for Christmas (I was long gone from "The Truth" by then...!!!)
