I agree with everyone, this a horrible and ridiculous video. Everyone in my Cong was bawling their eyes out, except i just kept a blank face and one other rebellious teen just started laughing hysterically. I feel bad because I heard my dad say he's gonna chew her out for being disrespectful when actually she just did what I wanted to do too! Utter ridiculousness. Of course its mean to laugh but its hard to believe all these people really fall for this crap.

This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?
by prologos inthe resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

Of course since I'm only 16 I went because my parents made me. It was horrible but I endured. At least I got to wear a pretty new dress I guess. 222 people attended, it was so packed in our tiny kingdom hall I felt like I was going to faint. And the other girls were stupid snobs as usual. I can't wait until the day I dont have to do this crap anymore.

JW related collective nouns
by Simon inenglish is a great language, especially when it comes to collective nouns.
a "murder" of crows is just fantastic as is a "mob" of meerkats.
a "colony" of ants, a "pride" of lions.

The memorial beauty pageant
by BlackWolf insince the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!
the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.
in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.

JW Rogue I know a couple of girls like that, super tight skirt with fishnets, tons of makeup, super high heels. Theres this one girl that used to be my friend and she always dressed like a goth hooker lol. But that was before she went totally crazy and now she's dating a guy twice her age. Her family left our Cong and never came back, probably disfellowshipped now. They were definitely the most disfunctional family I've ever met.

I agree, its kind of depressing how women in the org really seem to base their worth off of appearance. I know a lot of sisters with eating disorders, myself included. But I guess like you said we dont have much else to focus on since we don't get any privileges in the Cong like the men do. -

Lol! I'll try the black nail polish and see if anybody notices ;) Dressing up is by far the most interesting part of the memorial, otherwise its just the same dreary ritual very year. -

The memorial is the day I spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says I have to "represent Jehovah" and look my best. In reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls. Have any of you ever experienced this? I don't understand why jws make a such a big deal about appearances, isn't Jehovah supposed to care about what's on the inside? :) -

Making friends in the "truth"
by Jordandemm inwhat is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?
don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.
i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

Dude I know how you feel. Im 16 and the only "friend' I really have is a 50 year old sister at my Cong who I go ride horses with sometimes. People don't like her either because she still hangs out with her worldly family and actually does fun stuff instead of going out in service all the time. I've given up on making any new friends at the hall because the other kids are all judgemental, hypocritical idiots! I've never been anything but nice to any of them but they still treat me like an outcast even though I've never done anything wrong! Really Jehovah's witnesses are some if the worst people I've ever been around. -

I dont know how i can leave my family!
by BlackWolf inmy mom and i were talking today about how next summer i will be 18 and she said that just thinking about it might make her cry.
that made me think about how much more it would hurt her if i quit being a jw.
i really do love my parents, i know they are just being cruelly manipulated by a cult and that they really think they are doing what is best for me.
