  Catholics on Big Love

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  andre's thread on jws vs catholics reminded me for some reason of last night's episode of big love.. did anyone else relate to nikki's response to her son playing with a cross?

  it was as if she was possessed by a jw demon or sumthin.

  and her whole attitude toward the catholic faith reminded me of how jws react.

  I can't believe all you guys watch Big Love

  Guilty as charged. I like when she flipped out on wife #3 for saying a hail mary. That was a riot.

  Has your brain been re-wired with the "F" word?

  by Gregor in

  i learned an interesting fact from my father's doctor when he was being treated for a stroke.

  mom had mentioned that even though dad couldn't speak well enough to ask for a glass of water he could clearly say, "goddammit".

  the dr. explained that epithets are from a different part of the brain and this area had not been affected by the stroke.. i found this very interesting.

  I'm still very selective about who I say it around. Some people will spew it out every other word no matter who they're around. I find this a little boorish.

  My suspicions sre that wayne L is most likely a sock puppet seems he is to intrested in only one thread.

  I can't believe that thread is still going on. It's on the eigth page now and the topic of the thread hasn't been addressed since the second.

  I was sexually abused

  by Mindyemt in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was sexually abused as a child and the witness's accepted it and helped me granted they didn't go into depth about it with me but they do not cover it up they just dont like things publicized not every rape or sexual abuse is put on the news so why should a witness being raped be put on the news they are private people why not let it be

  A lot of us have mothers and other family who are JWs. That doesn't absolve the organization of wrongdoing. If anything it gives us even more reason to be angry, because they are still being manipulated by those assholes.

  each cong.

  those witnesses that are lazy, go from job to job, and just becasue the are "zealous" for the truth they expect help from other.

  i remeber one elder (married with one child) expected people to give him and his wife gas monie to go out on service.

  just becasue the are "zealous" for the Truth they expect help from other.

  And they usually get it, just because they are zealous for the truth. Meanwhile, those who aren't quite as zealous, who genuinely do need help are virtually ignored.

  When you were a dub, did you shun DF/DA'd people?

  by exwitless in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  actually, in my 14 years as a dub, it only came up with one person in our cong.

  who got pregnant out of wedlock (and used drugs during pregnancy).

  she was df'd but still came to most meetings.

  I would do so only at the kingdom hall, and only because others were watching. I never agreed with it, even when I was a hardcore dub and still believed it was the truth. I could never bring myself to shun a person who had never done anything bad to me. I always felt sorry for the DF'd ones at the hall. I remember when my father merely nodded hello to a friend of his who was DF'd, he was counseled by an elder. I always thought it was a dehumanizing way to treat people.

  Did you/ Do you tell prospective mates that you used to be a jw?

  by student1 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  if you do, how long do you get to know them before you do?

  also is telling prospective mates about your past just a big no no cos it screams out baggage!

  yes lashings of baggage is what this evil religion has left me with!

  Yes, because she would want to know why I would never introduce her to my parents. I also think it gives me a certain uniqueness that others may not have. I was always embarrassed when I was active to say I was a JW, but since I've left I actually embrace it more. My past experiences are part of what defines me.

  Fading In? Am I nuts?

  by jaydoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a baptized jw that faded some years back.

  in those days i deeply believed in the org and became disillusioned by some things happening in the local congregation.

  following some research on the net i decided to fade out of watchtower existence because i did not want to keep mixing with false religion (or so i thought at the time).

  Do what you feel you must. Just remember that there are a lot of good and decent people outside the organization as well. I tried fading before, then went back for exactly the same reasons you did. Eventually it will catch up with you. All the doubts you had will still be there. It will become a chore simply going to meetings, let alone everything else they will expect you to do. I got to the point where I had to make a choice, I was either part of it or I wasn't.

  Depressed witness going door to door

  by I quit! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning i saw a witness mother and her son heading out into service.

  from the area they were in i think they were going to be doing some street corner work.

  i was stopped at a light when they walked in front of my car.

  Street witnessing tends to have that effect on people. At least in the door-to-door work you have a glimmer of hope that you won't have to actually speak to someone.

  If JW's message is so urgent and Armageddon is imminent..

  by PopeOfEruke in

  2. experiences

  then why do the walk so slow when out in field service?????????.

  honestly, i saw some dubs out witnessing yesterday and they have invented the "worlds most incredible slow walk".

  it makes a glacier look like a speeding avalanche.

  Their feet have to work at the same speed as their brains, otherwise they would fall over.
