some words/terms jw's use in their usual conversations with eachother, see if you can add anymore:.

wordly.

unbeliever.

The Oracle

another creepy and twisted expression....

"scripturally free" (referring to being able to re-marry or date again)

Oompa, "he touched my pee pee...who else saw it" - funny, but very sad at the same time!

A real creepy one - "The Society"

Another creepy one - "The Slave"

- both basically referring to the GB.

These abbreviations or so uniquely JW

CO
DO
PO

A few highly judgemental terms that I don't think have been mentioned...

"Innactive'

"Irregular"

another creepy one - "approved associate"

Wow - its a yucky cult isn't it?

JW's do not die of old age

by frozen one in

jw
friends

i spent the weekend visiting some of my jw relatives.

we were sitting around chatting and eventually got to the "death report" where i am updated about who had died around town since my last visit.

someone mentioned sister so&so had passed on and i asked how old she was.

The Oracle

That was the hardest part of my awakening Scully....

coming to the realization that I was going to die after all.

That part really sucked.

When you have been expecting, your entire life, to never grow old and to never taste death, you kind of take on a super hero personality.

Eventually when you come crashing down to earth and realize that your value system had been built inside a matrix of sorts - it is bittersweet. Your no longer immortal, but you are free!

Thankfully the sweetness of freedom outweighs the downer of death.... weird but true.

Funny Kingdom Hall Scandals

by lovelylil in

in one hall i was in, we had sister self-righteous.

you know the type, always pointed out how spiritual she is and how much she does for jehovah.

anyway, one time she invited me and my two kids over to swim in her pool on a hot day and i told her i could come but that i had my nephew up from ct for a visit and asked if i could bring him.

The Oracle

Sorry Lil,

I have a ton of them - but I am in stealth mode and can't risk blowing my cover, as it may jeapordize my important mission!

I suppose I could white-wash a few stories so I couldn't be traced...but I need to go watch some football now...I might throw one up later.

Cheers!

Interesting article Nvrgnk.

It is always refreshing to read a piece that is completely void of any alterior motives, and just sticks to discussing a subject while staying within the realms of reality.

Thanks for posting it!

Adherents.com-- a little biased

by Junction-Guy in

jw
friends

i just was on adherents.com and i read the statistics on jw's, southern baptists, and mormons.

it was very intersting, but they seem a little biased against southern baptists.

in the southern baptist section they have included links from ex-southern baptists with titles such as "why im no longer southern baptist" "why i left the southern baptist convention" and so forth.. .

The Oracle

Thanks for the info Junction Guy,

I'll jump on this ASAP as well. As a service to humanity, it is important that we attempt to set straight any communicative entity that mentions JWs in a favorable light.
