  Towards the end, when I no longer believed, I'd think of Pink Floyd while at the meetings:

  You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying

  One thing about this site that bothers me

  the constant references to 'window washers' as something derogatory.. i understand the context of it-that most jws are uneducated, and unqualified to do much more.

  but sometimes the references seem snobbish, almost mean-spirited.

  one poster, on another thread, essentially referred to window washers as 'losers'.

  However, the problem is with the Watchtower sending these men to address issues that should be addressed by professionals

  I get that. The problem is that often the term is used in a more general way, to insult JWs as a whole. In other words, they should be marginalized because the majority of them are nothing more than "window washers".

  What does money represent to YOU ?

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for example does money represent to you power, love, joy and much more or does money represent to you feelings of worry, guilt, anger, sadness.. for myself i have always enjoyed living largely on little, and i can appreciate that the best things in life are free.

  having said that i am glad i have been fortunate and sensible enough with money to never have exsperienced the anxiety of debt.

  and it may sound silly but i dont think winning it big on the lottery would improve the quality of my life nor my family.

  A means to an end. Nothing more for me, personally.

One poster, on another thread, essentially referred to window washers as 'losers'. They aren't conning people out of money. They're performing honest labor, to support themselves, or sometimes a family.

  My father was a custodian for the State university for over forty years. He wasn't able to be anything more than that, not just due to being a JW, but also due to other circumstances in life. But he worked hard at it, and supported his family. Not once did he bitch about the fact that he spent 8 hours a day cleaning up after college students. It was one of the few things I actually admired him for.

  Just my two cents.

  Who is the biggest Loser JW you have known

  by Clambake in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.

  of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.

  i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.

  A lifelong pioneer who's only accomplishment is

  bragging about how many years she has been

  pioneering! Looks down her nose & says "what

  have YOU been doing"

  You obviously have met my sister-in-law.

  Do you think it's rude or disrespectful to be in the bathroom for any reason while the brother is praying?

  by toto555 in

  2. beliefs

  i had a publisher tell me this recently that she felt that it showed disrespectful to the brother up there giving the prayer, like you're ignoring him or something.

  what do you think?

  and if so, any bible scripture or watchtower or awake backing this idea up specifically?.

  Long-winded, self-indulgent prayers are rude. Especially when people have been holding their urine or bowel movements until the end of the meeting. Just wrap it the fuck up already.

  "The world is so bad!!"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am getting so sick of constantly hearing witnesses say "the world is getting so bad...etc...blah blah....etc...".

  yes, there are troubles in some parts of the world, but most of the ones whinging live in some of the most peaceful and fortunate countries (such as australia).

  the constant doom and gloom mentality actually shows a lack of respect for life itself!!!!

  Believing this is what gives meaning to their belief system. It serves two purposes:

  First, it enforces the idea that they have the truth, because they are the only ones living up to the standard of goodness that they themselves have set.

  And second, it justifies the mass genocide their God will commit in the future, and the delight that most of them derive from it.

  They will simply stop saying it from the platform but continue to pressure the active members to continue shunning without the announcement.

  Precisely. Most likely they will leave it up to congregation elders to enforce it, so the organization is protected. If nothing is printed publicly, they can simply argue that individuals chose on their own to do it.

  Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

  the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.

  the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.

  I love these debates that try to determine whose fiction is more grounded in reality.

  i'm not one, but just caught the biography on tv.

  i happened to have met axel roses ( as he called himself by then) parents in a friend's neighborhood in indianna.

  when axel would come home for a visit in the midto late 80's police cars would always end up at the house.

  Appetite For Destruction was one of the greatest rock and roll albums in history. Too bad they could never come close to duplicating it
