  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.

  My mom was a divorced woman who got in a little trouble when she got pregnant with my little sister SRLB.

  She turned on the sex appeal and got off Scot free, but was completely marginalized anyway.

  I am her outcast son, a little too squirrelly, unpredictable, and vicious to fit in the cliques.

  There was a period in the early eighties when I almost fit in, but it didn't last.

  But mostly....

  Something very wrong with the boy, best to keep your kids away.

  Broken inside, no chance of normalcy even outside the group, zero chance in that bunch.

  I WAS the fringe

  My wife and I had housekeeping issues, and couldn't seem to keep laundry done properly, maybe we looked just a bit too mussed up or something, but still fringe city.

  I was never in the thick of things, never accepted, never comfortable.

  Life is so much sweeter now!

  RF!

  Glad to see you back and that you got what you needed.

  Sounds like you are on track, and I bet you make a great Big Bro, and do well in school.

  Don't let the herd get you down, to them you are 'acting strange' and might have something 'catching'.

  The fade is still well worth the effort, think how much worse to have them actively shun you than to just behave oddly!

  So, stay the course, you are almost there!

  Oh, and WB.

  What was your first car?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mine was an old fiat 127, i bought it 1983 and it was at least fifteen years old then!

  the seats were vinyl and there were no rear seatbelts so i could send my girlfriend and her sister flying with each bend in the road!

  it wouldn't go above 55mph and was rattling like rollercoaster when it finally got there.. the rear window fell out and it finally croaked in puff of blue/black smoke.

  my first car was a 1970 Plymouth 'cuda with a 318.

  No two body panels were the same color and it had minimal brakes at best.

  It went like a raped ape and didn't wanna stop for shit unless you were going uphill.

  When it ripped, it roared and when you stomped it screamed.

  I wound up junking what was left after selling the engine, and getting a '74 Camaro.

  The Watchtower has trained us well.....to be vocal apostate's!

  by megsmomma in

  2. friends

  i was thinking about how "against" the watchtower so many are.

  we are outspoken about it and want people we love to get out too.

  we are very vocal about it...more so than a-lot of people are when they leave a religion.

  Hey, NVR.

  How ya doin?

  Look, if somebody told me I posted too much pro-belief info, I think I'd tell 'em to get stuffed.

  I might not agree with your atheism, but I still thank you for a well thought and extensive post full of info.

  Don't let 'em get you down, NVR, you're as sincere as any I've met.

  My Adventures At The Hall, Again!

  by ColdRedRain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today, me and this punk rock worldly friend of mine went to the meeting because she wanted to do a sociology report on the witnesses.

  when we were there, she pretty much got lovebombed and i pretty much got either dirty looks from the witnesses or patronizing looks from them.

  they figured since i brought a girl to the hall, i was trying to come back to jeehovah and bring my new girlfriend back in the troof.

  That sounds precious!

  Now I want to have an adventure too!

  But it would have to be roller-style, over the top, larger than life, and providing many places to hang just the right adjective.

  Let's see, where to find a Goth/Punk girl... Wait, I have one downstairs! Well, she used to be one and still has all the clothes.

  Ill see if I can get her into the Aposta-Truck Sunday morning.

  If there is no intellect to appeal to, then switch tactics.

  Adopt a kindly, sympathetic, knowing air.

  'That was a very well executed ad homonym attack. nothing validates one's beliefs like engaging in name-calling, you must feel so proud!'

  and

  'you just keep telling yourself that'

  It won't change his mind, but it will irritate him to the point he wont want to discuss it anymore, thus shutting him up.

  'the evil slave and the apostates falsified, blah blah...'

  'Wow, that is one doozy of a conspiracy theory, did you hear it on Art Bell?'

  'The wtbs doesn't get involved in lawsuits or politics'

  'that is so amazing! I was just thinking the same thing! I mean, they get credit for securing our right not to salute the flag, but you, being one of them, obviously are better informed. Thanks so much for sharing your truly dazzling intellect!'

  this, of course, depends on your friend possessing the wit to see sarcasm and appreciate it.

  It won't seem like this will get to him, but he'll be seething inside, and puffing away.

  my mom went to the doctor last week and while she was waiting to be seen she noticed that awake magazines were all over the lobby.

  there wasnt any other magazines to be read.

  she happened to look in a trash can and noticed that it was full of "worldly" magazines.
