  Well what do you think? Have a good look at me!

  Personally i think my ears stick out too much, and i dont like the way my eyes join together either.

  I wouldn't mind some more teeth aswell, i can't really do much with the only one tooth i've got.

  Sigh.....

  ok everyone, who has to go to the memorial tonight?

  check in here, state the reason you have to go, and when you get back, let us know how it went and your impressions.

  for me, i have to go for my family--since i'm doing the fade i figure it won't kill me to go.

  I need some proof

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the bible says that there will be those who rise up among christians and turn apostate and try to turn others away from the truth.. childofgod.

  i need some proof that the watchtower society and the jehovah's witnesses are the truth.. the reason i need some proof is because my bible says that jesus is the truth.. nowhere does my bible say that any organization or religious denomination is the truth.. .

  a very important reason that i need some proof is because i have rejected the idea that the watchtower society and the jehovah's witnesses are the truth and if i am wrong i want to humbly admit it and return to the truth.. .

  Nowhere does my Bible say that any organization or religious denomination is the truth

  Exactly! Why is it that we must affiliate to a religious organisation in order to recieve salvation?

  Religions are just man made institutions based on interpretations of written documents.

  my Bible says that Jesus is the truth

  And Jesus went on to say "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free"

  If you are a member of a religion then you are hardly free. You are subject to its rules, regulations, instructions, discipline and consequences of disobedience. How can you possibly be free when you are obligated to these requirements?

  The fact is, once you become a follower of a religion then you become a slave.

  Scariest Movie you have ever seen?

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know as exjws, probably for the most, there was a secret freedom in watching horror films without thinking you would have a demon as a bed buddy.. i am not very fond of every horror movie, but i will watch those that have an intelligent side to it and is not gore for the sake of gore.

  like "the ring" got me going when i first watched it, just like "the blair witch project" did, which is more about suspense.

  anyway, i never saw any of the saw movies, so i am going to try to watch saw iii tonight, since it is on showtime.

  3. The Blair Witch Project.

  4. The Mothman Prophecies.

  5. The Shining.

  Were You Ever Counseled Because Of What You Wore (or didn't)?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading the thread about what is acceptable to wear and not wear in a factory run by jehovah's witnesses, i wondered whether any here ever got counseled or in trouble because of their fashion sense or attire.

  I got publicly slated once for my dress attire. It was straight after doing a Number 4 talk on the theocrapic misery school. The counseling Elder attacked me for not wearing a jacket, having my top shirt button undone, having a too 'casual' shirt on and having a crooked tie.

  It was a little embarassing moment for me, but at same time i got a bit of a rebellious buzz out of it.

  I just can't understand why the dress code is so strict when your a JW. It might have something to do with the organisation going to absoloute extremes to make itself look good on it's outward appearance. Of course a lot of us know what the reality is on the inside! Hmmmmm, this brings to mind a scripture about Scribes & Pharisees, and whitewashed graves, and dead men's bones?.........

  Who lets it be known that they were once a JW?

  by lfcviking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious, for those of us here who have left the jw org, who actually lets it be known to people that they were once a practicing jw.. for me, this is something i tend to keep quiet because it is something i'm not particularly proud of.

  anyone else feel the same way?.

  I joined late in life also... but I dont mind admitting I was and am nuts.

  Thanks for sharing that 'Mouthy', it appears you have a strength where i have a weakness. I should take a leaf out of your book.

  Cheers

  But even if you joined as an adult, I don't think it's something you should feel ashamed about or feel the need to keep from others. Sure it may have been a mistake, but many people make mistakes, and some of us correct them.

  True 'Maxwell', we all make mistakes, but i joined this cult at the adult age of 25 and remained an active member for 6 years (was involved for 10 years altogether including my studying time). It has cost me a big chunk of my life, i had to 'bin' my then 'worldly' friends, i nearly dumped my career because of it, and has left me with long term family complications/difficulties.

  I chose to joint this cult out of my own free will, i wan't brought up in it, and nobody coerced me into it. So i consider this decision of mine as not just a mistake, but a serious, costly, embarassing major f**k up.

  So admitting this to someone is a bit like saying you nearly made a total mess of your life and are completely gullable. This is something i find hard sharing with people/friends who i meet.
