is it okay for jw to lie?

for what reasons?

iveseenthelight

There is a picture of it in the Jdub organisation behind the name book, perhaps someone can scan it...not me though. I threw that sh*t out ages ago.

i am if it is the norm, but in my teenage years i must admit, i ahd no problem in going beyond kissing with quite a few jw girls, some even pioneers and talking to some fellow male jw teenagers at the time, many other where for sure going beyond kissing, makes you wonder how many jw's who get married are actually virgins, on a side note i also landed up in front of a committe one time for well bonking and hey i am sure they only do these so that they can here all the nitty gritty of illicit sex for soem reason or another, by the way i pulled the wool over their eyes and still remaind a bit of alad, lol.

I think I only two couples who were still virgins when they married.

I know of "brother" who slept his way around our circuit like it was a sport for years, then confessed got engaged to the prettiest virgin he could find and is now living in marital bliss. Makes me sick...

Special Needs talk at our Hall tonite...

by CaptainSchmideo in

jw

talk was about appreciating jehovah's provisions, something like that.... the po gave the talk.

apparently, after the last co visit, our congo got a letter from headquarters, informing us that our numbers are wayyyy down.

several inactive publishers, several more irregular, poor meeting attendance, and our hourly average is less than the national average (8.3 compared to 9.9).

I had to laugh at that one. How about an illustration from the point of view of the workers, who sign up for a job with promises of a fantastic paycheck at the end, complete with a brand new home, perfect health, and eternal life. Except the foreman keeps reporting that the check has been delayed again, and again, and again; who says that we should be grateful we have such a job anyway; that he's surprised that we would be so crass as to hiring on simply for the goal of the paycheck; who keeps "simplifying" the benefits so that whatever the workers used to get, the tools that they use, the conditions they work under, keep getting worse every year; oh, and some overseers from the company have been sexually attacking the children of the workers. Gee, I wonder what the morale, work ethic, and absentee rate would be for a work crew dealing with all this?....

Excellent...so true!

Do you condemn the Society's no-blood policy and still do not DONATE BLOOD?

by nicolaou in

it's your decision to make.

it would be as wrong of this community to insist everyone donate blood as it is of the cult to insist otherwise.

I left the Witnesses carrying much of the baggage they'd sold me. I think that for some time after I left I'd probably have refused a transfusion. The internet cleared out all of the JW shite from my head, and now I donate blood regularly. I've also seen it save lives at first hand.

Clam, I think I'm still there. I keep saying to people although I'm no longer a jdub I still wouldn't give or accept blood. Not sure when/if this will change.

Friends?

by 4mylove in

i just noticed someone on another post call jw's from another location "friends" my jw friend would always bring that up when we would talk about traveling.

if i wanted to go somewhere she would say i have some friends there, example rio, oh i have friends there, switzerland, oh i have friends there.

come on......friends?

iveseenthelight

I only heard Jdubs referred to as friends in America, which I found quite odd. Didn't like it really as I like to chose my friends not have them forced upon me cos I have to like them as we believe(d) the same bullsh*t.

I'm new...and heartbroken

by chaz84 in

i'm still up early hours in the morning, because i'.

so upset with what my mum said to me on the phone today.

she told me she got the sack a week ago because her boss didn't agree with my mum being a jehovah's witness and that she lets 'children die' because of the no blood rules.

iveseenthelight

Chaz, hi and welcome.

Firstly it is illegal for yor mum to have lost her job based on her religion, if these were the terms given to her when they fired her she could so take them to court! Which I think she should. So wrong.

Secondly its so hard when you have the realisation that Jdubs are nonsense and your family members are still a part of it. My mum is so deep into it I can't ever see her coming out. You just have to remain the loving daughter she knows you as, and hopefully she will come to the realisation that there is good outside of the org and the crap they harp on about in the halls is ruining peopls lives. Why would Jehovah give her a job then allow her to lose it, doesn't sound very loving to me!

2. nothing improves with age.

14. Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.

Then how else am I supposed to find anyone who wants to sleep with me?

does anyone know where the models come from who appear on awakea and watchtowera magazines?

it would make sense to me that theyre dubsa as this would be saving the societya money.

or are they worldlya people?

There was a family in my cong with 3 small children, at one time or other their kids had been in or on the cover of the mags. The dad used to be a bethelite and was tight with some elders there.

I really think its a case of who you know...They do not used out side models otherwuise they'd have to pay them and associate with them.

Whats the funniest thing you've ever seen happen in the KH?

by shell69 in

i remember being a kid and we didnt have the fancy fabric seats, they were plastic stackable chairs all set out in the usual lines.. an elderly bro, rather rotund, farted, the noise so loud and thundering against the plastic seat!

or the time when i must have been about 7, my dad brought his bible study family to their first ever meeting, i had to sit on mums knee.

i recall giving the daughter of the new family a very vigorous v sign during the meeting.

iveseenthelight

Funniest thing EVER was a crazy ass lady who used to wonder in to our meeting walking up to an elder and doing a handstand...she was wearing no knickers!

Our hall used to be next to a hospital for the mentally ill, so you can imagine the type of people who used to wander in.
