Medals & Trophies

by SilverNyte in

when i became a jw and started getting serious about it, i discovered that i should throw all my medals and trophies out.

it was such a long time ago and i don't remember why now.

could someone explain to me why i had to do that?

Wow, geez. That sucks, man.

I gave up going to Berkley Conservatory of Music (by invitation) to study theory and stuff. Lots of big name rock stars went there. I could have become famous, dammit! And rich!

But, you know what? If any of that would have happened, I wouldn't have met my sweety, Rayvin and I wouldn't be having the fantastic life I've got now. My life might of been alot different, maybe for the worse. Who knows? I probably would have ruined my health and career with drugs. Before becomeing a witness i was a drug addicted musician playing the festivals and schools and the bar circuit in Ottawa. So I guess I should be gre3atful, eh? Everything happens for a reason.

Am I the Only One?

i have a hard time accepting and believing that this whole wt 'phenonemon' is, and has always been, an end unto itself.. i can't help but suspect that this publishing company, masquerading as a religion, is still a front for something - or someone else.. i don't have any substantial empirical evidence, just a whole lot of anecdotal evidence that just happens to fit the hypothesis that there are deeper levels to this whole ridiculousness.

fundamentalist islam seems to be able to control and exert influence in it's followers to the point of suicide attacks.

i submit that the influence of the jw religion upon it's followers is analogous, if not completely identical (at this time).

What did you throw out? I threw out two track and field medals I won in grade 4, a bunch of medals, trophies and plaques I won in hockey when I was 8, 9 and 10 and a whack load of trophies and medals I won for when I played 5 pin bowling. I'm really upset with myself for throwing all those memories away!!!!!!

Could someone explain to me why I had to do that? I recall it having something to do with self-glorification. Are there any W.T. articles that you could refer me to?

Thanks. Silver.

This board is not for me.

when i came to this board, i thought that it was for encouragement amoung people who had been treated badly by the wtbts, i did not understand that people were going to come here and bash god, his son and the bible.

i could understand some embitterment over religion but some of you people are down right insulting.

not to mention the fact that i have tried to contact others on the board and have had my messages ignored.. .

This is like Jerry Seinfeld's show about nothing!

Would U Be Offended If A Lesbian Couple Showed Affection in A Public Place

in missouri at a ihop, a lesbian kissed another female (her gf) on the cheek, once while sitting in the restaurant.

the manager went over to the ladies and told them they were not welcomed there and therefore had to leave.

the women described the kiss on the cheek as a similar type of kiss to an "uncle".

International House of Pancakes. Hm. Never heard of it before. I guess I really am separate from the rest of the world! I live five hours North of Toronto, Ontario, inside the world's second largest meteor impact crater, called The Sudbury Basin. It's isolated by some people's standards but there are even more isolated communities up here than mine. Not even JWs are dgo there.
