also perhaps some newbies who i didn't know of before might hail from the land of the redwood n such... .

Should I talk to Joel Engardio on the phone? What would you ask him?

by Bob Loblaw in

so i met this girl last night whose best friend is best friends with joel engardio.

i said that i would really like to talk to him and she said that she could get me his phone number and he would be happy to speak with me.

i haven't seen the film "knocking" yet,...so i don't really know what i would discuss with him at this point.

monophonic

yes, see the film first....just from the press notes i couldn't watch it.

i'd ask financing, exactly who financed the film and were any wits involved (save that question towards the end...filmmakers hate to answer financing questions, but in this case it's relevant.)

bring up homosexuality and let him know that every witness thinks he's going to die at armageddon and is bad association. even when they pretend to be nice, they're only hoping their 'niceness' makes him heterosexual, there's not a genuine concern for him if he's adamant about staying gay.

i don't think he was baptized and never had to go through a JC, etc. find some real examples where people have killed themselves out of guilt for being disfellowshipped and ask him why that wasn't covered....and let him know the wtbts washes their hands when they shun someone, even wrongly or if 'new light' changes, b/c as far as they're concerned anything that happens to a dfed person is b/c they no longer have holy spirit.

i would do research on brainwashing techniques, the constant pounding of the same info over and over is a form of brainwashing, as well as other things.

i was going to interview him, my wife asked me not to b/c it would affect her family if they saw the article since i was going to nail him...i would've watched the film, but can't bring myself to do it....except if we can figure some drinking games associated with it....like everytime 1914 is said take a shot. but if i was interviewing him, i'd have to suck it up and watch the film and get into his head before meeting him.

i'd rather watch a snuff film and interview a serial killer....no, both would make me want to vomit.

and, THE HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY should be PISSED at him for making this film. they should screen it @ the frameline film fest in SF, he wouldn't make it out alive....i consider it similar to making a nazi propaganda film after WW2 and being jewish.

recently, when i left the train at my destination station i noticed a jw, sitting there, obviously "studying" the "revelation"-book for the night's cbs.

it was too late for my, but i was thinking about saying something like "don't you get it at the third time that this is bullshit?

Tee shirt with foolish WT quotes, I will wear to reunion with witnesses

by dawg in

jw
friends

as many of you know, i've been writing letters to family members telling them how damn stupid i think the gb is; providing proofs of all their comedic gaffs (building mansions for prophets and the like) including some of their most outlandish quotes-which i know all of us can remember verbatim.

spurned on by mary and others in this site, i've decided that i will try a new ploy.

my family reunion is every labor day and i've decided to wear a tee shirt to it with russell, rutherford, and franz's images on it... i will include images of a pyramid, beth sarim, on the front and 607?

monophonic

oh shit, i remember that and we were begging him to tell us where to get that t-shirt.

dude, call me tomorrow, i still gotta tell you about andre williams and the brain dead dave night. don't you hawaians use phones?

it would depend who it was, if it was one of those hottie jws, i'd start with the 'i'm interested' routine, then ask for an instant bible study at my place where i happen to have absinthe and 'no it's not illegal', then we'd do shots and she'd try to preach to me but i'd undress her with my eyes and she'd know and do more shots in the hopes of forgetting the best "O" (and i ain't talking oprah) that she'll ever have in her life b/c her trophy jw hubby that she'll get soon won't go down on her and do the job that needs to be done.

i've decided to ride a lot more public transportation. :)

What didn't you do because you were a JW that you now regret?

by jwfacts in

i just bought a bottle of wine for an exjw's 30th that i am about to run off to.

on it there was a great quote by mark twain:.

"twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do... explore.

monophonic

it depends what you do with your regrets, but come on, tell me you'd have some damn better memories if you banged those sweet hotties from high school instead of having them see you at their door on saturday morning with a bible and watchtower.

tits and ass or 'have you ever wondered why god permits wickedness?'

i'd like some better memories.

The sex that I didn't have....feeling guilty for the jw foreplay that i did have....not being able to take up an instrument b/c being in a band was 'bad'. being creative was not looked well upon in general.

no, mostly the awesome teenage and early 20's sex....the opportunities were there, girls would freak out i was a virgin and want to deflower me, should've taken 'em up on that.

but in general i feel like i'm exactly where i need to be and the future looks pretty damn good.

[I would love to see how the society would "explain away" the mass suicides (although one at a time) that goes along with many shunning experiences.]

isn't their position that they've lost jehovah's holy spirit and were open to satanic influences, or some propaganda crap like that?

What is the most "American"

by stillajwexelder in

if somebody anywhere in the world were to ask what was very american -what would you answer?.

apple pie.

hamburgers.

monophonic

[political correctness, serial killers, eating disorders and plastic surgery]

thank you, the first legit answer here.

and i'll add media illiteracy to that as well.

but we do kick ass when it comes to the film industry, music and literature.

Female character actresses that crack you up, impress you...

kathy bates -- my goodness i wish she was my neighbor, she is awesome.

my vote for sarah silverman as well.

i interview celebs and public peeps all the time and even though it's cool to meet them and talk with them, i'm not star struck. when i met sarah, i completely dorked out, didn't know what to say. she put her hand out for me to shake it and i walked away. i think if i shook her hand i probably would've immediately moved it to my crotch or wrapped my legs around her and dry humped her.

jimmy kimmel is soooooo damn lucky.

also on the list, parker posey, catherine keener, miranda july.
