i read the thread a few days ago about co, & do charles sinutko and his famous 1967 talk that ended with "stay alive 'till 1975".

it brought back a flood of memories.

i listened to his talks - randy has plenty of them on his website, too- http://www.freeminds.org/wav/wav.htm.

Your favorite bits of JW folklore

by B_Deserter in

we all hear stories an experiences that happened to a "friend of a friend," and the witnesses are no exception.

they even have their own urban legends.

here are my favorites, and please post yours as well.. 1. watchtower theologists according to one of the old guys i used to pioneer with, there is a super-scary-secret organization of apostates called "watchtower theology.

Heard the sister who didn't get killed because of an angel also.

Also heard the smurf story, but the version I heard had a Troll doll (those ugly dolls from the early/mid 90s), and a kid had it in his pocket at the KH, got up to the bathroom, the kid disappeared forever, and the troll walked out of the bathroom, and out of the KH.

There was a party and a woman brought a weird doll, and after a while, the woman was nowhere, and the doll turned into the woman, and ran out of the house.

Demons raped some chick. The guy that I heard that from was reading it from a printout, said that it was an article from the 'tower or awake, i forget, but i didn't confirm it, 'cause i never asked to look at the printout.

The Eagles were being interviewed on TV, and all of a sudden their voices change, and they say that their kids were the Nephilim, and they'll have revenge.

And my favorite JW bs story (the most recent one I've heard too!) comes from this dub kid I know. Says that he was at an assembly, and that a CO giving a talk said that there was a man who made a deal with the devil, and the devil would give him whatever he wanted: girls, money, etc.

One day, this guy sees some chick he likes, and asks the devil to get her for him. devil says he can't. guy asks why, and the devil says "because she serves a more powerful god," so the guy walks over to the girl, and asks her what her story is.

Lo and behold, she's a dub. The guy studies, gets baptized, says "no thanks" to the devil, and marries the girl. The CO says, "How do I know this? I know this because I was that man." Hahaha, I didn't know COs were allowed to light up the ganja.

How The Organization Hooks You With "Privileges"

by minimus in

right from the beginning, you are bombarded with others telling you what a "privilege" it is to "be used" in the organization.

especially if you're a male, it is easy to get hooked by the elder's lines.....for example, a male is given the "privilege" of "handling the microphones" if they put in enough time in the ministry and they aren't setting a bad example.

if you're "faithful in what is least", greater privileges await you.

I always hated privileges, and the only reason I would accept was to not get dirty looks from my parents.

Should've stood my ground and said No to being an MS.
