  The Pecking Order of Jehovah's Witnesses

  where were you in the pecking order??

  jws pride themselves as being different from "worldly" organizations and other religions.

  they claim to have no clergy/laity groups.

  Short answer is YES! I'd always wonder why people get penalized for things that would later be subject to "new light". That never made any sense to me. Light getting brighter in a room just illuminates what's already there ... not changing the contents of the room!

  do you know about this loop hole rule?

  a short time after baptism a young man i knew commited fornication but told the elders he didn't know it was a sin, he didn't have full knowledge when baptized.

  his baptizm was voided and he had to study and be baptized again at a later date.

  Maybe he convinced them that he wasn't "dedicated" before baptism (didn't dedicate himself in prayer first), thus making his actual baptism null and void.

  ATTN: Sign Language Jezebels! Get those hats back on! (BOE letter)

  once again i have been selected as the "chosen channel" of commnuication by an paranoid elder apostate in waiting to spread this divinely inspired information: .

  bfd.

  a recent letter to all traveling overseers and bodies of elders in the u.s. contains an interesting "change in policy".

  if a sister is used to interpret any of the program talks, she is to wear a "modest and appropriate head covering as a sign of submission

  What in heaven's name is a modest head covering supposed to look like?

  My Dating horror= You can't have coffee at the mall without a chaperon???

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  being a pioneer/servant for years, i thought i was very responsible.

  when dating a sister whom i later married, i read every publication on courtship the society had.

  i then spoke to an elder whom i thought was "resonable" and we agreed as the publications say: "a couple can meet together in a public place, when courting, without a chaperon.

  We switched to meeting in public places or at gatherings. We always arrived in separate cars
  and left that way.

  What pressure is placed on dating couples in JW-Land! Everything imaginable is dictated for them, their choice is non-existent. Even the length of the engagement is "recommended" by the society ... sheesh! No wonder these marriages don't last. Thank God I never had to go through all this crap.

  Elder's Boy: Now a Dr, instead of a piano tuner!

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thought i'd share this snipit i learned about 2 years ago.

  back when i still attended as a teenager, there was this dorky, kinda fat, shy elder's son who never fit in at school.

  he was a totally sheltered weenie, and of course his elder father had high expectations for his boy!!

  I think piano tuning would be a great business. That is not a skill easily mastered

  Maybe he realized what a lousy piano tuner he was, and decided to do something he was good at!
