the word 'cult'.

who is comfortable saying they were raised in a 'cult' or were brainwashed temporarily by a 'cult'?.

ah, i guess the 'c' word IS offensive. :)
well, the powers that be could've given me the chance to edit my own post w/o deleting the whole thing since there was some swearing and adult humor in PART of it (no, just dump it all they did), i could've put ^%$ to make it rated pg, so i find that offensive and have seen swearing before here, so didn't know there was a guideline which i will look for.
if someone could point that out to me, that would be appreciated.
rules will be respected, where are they? censoring my whole comment puts sand in my crotch...can i say that or will this whole post be deleted as well?

i'm really enjoying my time here.

i hope that i'm not stepping on any toes; .

i love reading other people's back stories, especially their adventures of fading out, disassociation, and being disfellowshiped.

brinjen, you just gave me an epiphany, or is it an anerysm?
w/ the production of the awake and wt being brought down and bethel 'laying off' some of their poverty workers, i wonder if any of that has to do with the lawsuit, if they lost so much money everything's getting scaled back.

Were You Treated Unfairly In The Congregation?

there is clearly a caste system in the organization.

there is a pecking order.

certain classes of people did not associate with those not of the same ilk.

one other thing, don't be young and good looking and single or they'll assume you're fucking everything with a hole in it...but as i look back it was just jealously from short, angry elders.
young, good looking and married? please breed for us so we get some more pretties to sucker more into the cult.

my dad used to give out lame kid assignments where we'd have to draw scenes from the book study.
of course that's apostacy now in view of the september KM.
so glad i'm out of that flip-flop running commentary apocalypso tango.

i still go the memorial for a variety of reasons, and i have a green bible (the dinosaur bible) and i've been on the look out for a 70's songbook so it looks like i was stumbled in 1975....even though i'm too young to have been stumbled in '75.
it's for shits and giggles to myself.
speaking of shits and giggles i just went and saw a fellow writer do some stand up tonite and he had this bit where he talked about being atheist, but the only religion he would join is the vagina witnesses, he saw vagina in 1986 and would like to offer you a copy of the crotch tower. i know i'm saying it wrong, i gotta find out exactly how he said it but it was funny as shit.

steve martin wrote an awesome shouts and murmurs column on this for the new yorker about six months ago, about a muslim who killed infidels and got to heaven for his reward of the 99 virgins, it was the dialogue b/t each virgin and him as he had sex with them.
one was texting on her blackberry, waiting for him to finish.
another made fun of his 'size'.
another was a fat middle aged woman.
man, i wish i kept that...i was one of the more brilliant satires i had read in a while.
