i find it absolutely hillarious how "bad people" (i.e.
gang members, prisoners, thieves, etc.
) are depicted on the cover of a watchtower.
How bout the Witchtower/Lafake articles where drugs/drug abuse is the subject? They always have a photo of this huge pile of pills, syringes (never a real syringe, always a dropper with a needle shoved in it) and these HUGE freakin joints.
I have abused drugs in the past and have been to many "parties" where drugs were being abused...but NEVER have I seen the cornicopia of drugs that are pictured in their mags!
anyone here go to the meeting this morning?
what was up w.that talk?omg,i was soooo bored that i ate two rolls of life savers and then did orgami w/the wrappers..whoa,if that wasnt some kinda mindcopulation than i dont know what is...then the watchtower with the 'millionaires are miserable depressed people'..sheeyit,like poor folks are not depressed???
?dont know how much longer i can keep doing this..must go..must not let jws get family fortune..[harharhar]
Gopher.....LMFAO!!!!!!!! Thanks for the belly laughs!! CLASSIC
i was at the sunday meeting today (i know, i know...) and i heard this one guy give a comment about how hollywood movies always portray rich people as happy and successful, so that's proof that satan controls the film industry because it's a lie.. .
i struggled to think of one recent hollywood film that portrayed anyone as being happy, let alone rich and happy.
if they made a movie like this guy was describing, it wouldn't sell.
Some comments at meetings are just plain silly, some are hypocritical or downright ignorant. But the most chilling ones I remember were from the little kids. A particularly disturbing comment I heard one time was by a little girl. Didn't know who they were...just a visiting couple. But the WT meeting was about proclaiming our faith (or some kinda s$%t like that) The lady held her little girl, maybe 3 or 4, close to the mike and she said, "I would die for Jehovah". I was just a kid myself, but that sent a chill down my spine.
now that i can see right through the crap that is the jw religion, i sometimes ask myself - how come you blindly believed all that rubbish for 30 years??!!
i am so annoyed with myself for that - i have a degree, yet i was totally duped for such a large part of my life.
and now that i can see how so full of holes it all is, i kick myself for not seeing it before.
The question that needs to asked with some of us here is....Why were our PARENTS so blind? I cannot speak for everybody here but as for me, being raised in the troof, lately I wonder...how could you do that to your kids? Having my own son now, I could never put him through what I was made to endure growing up.
ok, so whenever i would question the justice of the df policy, i kept.
getting the same line (even from my dad, an elder):.
people are not disfellowshipped because of the actual sin, they are.
The decision to DF is as random as your odds of getting a ticket when pulled over by a cop. How you act, what you say, the general mood of the JC, etc. determines the outcome.

this website asks people to send in pictures of people seen on the street who have a mullet style haircut.
the website classifies the mullethead & matches the various personalities associated with them.. (for the record, skeeter had a version of the mullet in 1982/1983.
Hey sacloon...
This OKIE has seen more than a few stupid looking mullets down Texas way too. The "80's" are very much alive all over the lone star state.
beat scum sucking auburn wussies........and thank god for the sec!.
Big 12 fan here...namely OKLAHOMA
But congrats to you dawg! Have to say that the black jerseys were cool also.
just thinking about a song that we used to sing at the kh....cannot remember the name of the song, but it was quite popular at the assemblies.. the questionable lyrics were, "fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul" it continues on with "to the end continue faithful, i will take you to your goal".. this was from the old songbook (remember, the purple one).
has the wt$ changed the lyrics to this song?
do they sing it anymore?
Ya know, it's just sad blueviceroy but you are RIGHT. They will put whatever spin they want on it! It just feels hopeless sometimes when one brings forth a RATIONAL idea to discuss with a JW and they put their pyscho spin on it! Drives me crazy sometimes...thus websites such as this! Nice to vent sometimes.
it's bad enought that young people in the wt have to sell magizines, risk shunning when they find out the truth about the gb... but this article really makes me laugh and angry at the same time.
the part that made me the maddest was when the father said he "conquered" the habit, lying bastard!

Another thought about this dawg,
Remembering back to the advise we used to receive at the meetings...when they would go on in a talk about how pervasive the problem of masturbation was, it would get me to thinkin about it. When they would begin to discuss the STRUGGLES that many of the young "sisters" had to avoid playing with themselves, being the young, virile, adolescent male that I was.....thinking about all those young girls pleasuring themselves...I couldn't wait to get home to wack off! lol

Appreciate any response on this....
