I was (and problably still am) a very talented musician. My talent was looked down upon, like music was the tool of the devil. Anyway, I ended up playing in a blues band, which they liked even less.

So hard to spot the few with flair and talent in the organization
by truthseeker inhave you noticed how hard it is to spot people in the organization with flair and talent; you know, .
the people who can sing, dance, write, draw or have interesting intellectual conversations about life.
when i go to the hall, i hear the same boring conversations over and over again.

I don't like tattoos, that's why I don't have one. But, guess what? Everybody else who wants one can have one! Yay! That's how freedom works, people!

@1935 - Enjoy it while you can! (New Article)
by KW13 inwhy not speak to as many witnesses as you can about 1935 being a wonderfully inspired date from jehovah and how clear it was scripturally to the society what this date obviously meant?
really get the witnesses going on about it being the right thing, how the great crowd was recognized, how the society are amazing and all that spew and then...then you wait - just make sure that conversation was memorable.. -----.
its january.

This kind of crap makes me sick. I'm not a witness anymore and haven't been for almost 10 years, but I was raised as a witness. If I were still a witness, I'd be even more upset because essentially everything that I was taught by the organization for the first 20 or so years of my life has all changed. What we were made to accept as God's Truth has changed and morphed into something that doesn't resemble what was being taught when I was a kid in the organization. Imagine if every 5 years or so the Pope changed the rules and beleifs of the Catholic religion. Would they still even be Catholics? If you keep changing your core beliefs and doctrines, how can you even keep the name of the religion? All the dates and times and prophecies and rules and regulations keep changing! How can anyone adhere to this crap, or even remember what they are supposed to be adhering to? How, at this point, can any JW even go out in service? Can they even understand what the new doctrine is supposed to be? How long before the people at the doors out in service recognize that they aren't hearing the same things from the witnesses and start questioning the changes in doctrine?
When I was a kid... let's see. NO BLOOD! Now, you can have blood. The 1914 generation would never die and would see armageddon. And that didn't mean people who were born in 1914, we were talking the generation who were adults in 1914. Well, that changed in 1995 when they said "Uh, ok.... NEW LIGHT..... forget about that 1914 crap".
Honestly, I don't even know why I care. I knew it was all crap years ago.

social skills and JW's
by Descender init occured to me the other day that many jehovah's witnesses have very bad social skills outside of the kindom hall.
my brother, who still goes to meetings but isn't a strong believer, and his wife, who is a 4th generation jw with very stong beliefs and a very self righteous attitude asked my wife and i if we'd like to go for a hike at a local national park the other day.
i faded years ago and my wife is not and has never been a jw and isn't religious.

If you're a JW and you have social skills, the rest of the shun you and talk about you behind your back. It's weird.

Or maybe I can sell rubber walrus protectors to eskimos! I think I mentioned that as a job possibility before.... I wonder if the WTBS would let me count that as field service time??

When hunting, it helps to be smarter than your prey. Very few JWs are smarter than the person they're trying to prey upon.

I brought up the 2012 issue on another thread on Monday, I believe. In my post, I was wondering if the JWs were going to start pointing toward that date, and now I hear that it was mentioned in a talk? Wow. Freaky. Maybe I'M the next prophet! All heed the words of prophet Dorktacular! Woo Hoo!
