  .

  of course, nobody really wants to die, but if you had a choice about how...how would you like to go?.

  some people i know would like to pop their clogs after a game of golf, some in the pub with friends.. personally, i want to be shot in bed by a jealous husband when i'm 96.

  For once, I'd like to *go* in peace, reading my magazine, with no pets, child or husband banging on the door wondering what's taking me so long!

  LANDMARK DECISION - Vicki Boer vs Watchtower Society

  by Uzzah in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  as most are aware, vicki boer has been long awaiting a decision to be handed down in a case she started against the society in canada.. the decision was handed down today.

  as with any 55 page decision, it will take some time for the legal experts to hash it over and decipher what was said.

  but, in a nutshell..... vicki won.

  As far as I see it, you have two choices. Stick with him and be a JW, or otherwise get outta dodge. If yer a JW you''ll be miserable trying to live up to their standars. If you don't decide to do that, then you'll be an outcast. My chhoise is: get outta there.

  When Prophecy Fails

  by refiners fire in

  2. bible

  the scenario.

  leon festinger, a young psychiatrist, and a group of his henchmen (students) joined a flying saucer cult that predicted a catastrophe.

  they joined as observers and recorders to see whether its predictive pattern and method of dealing with post expectation disappointment fit the pattern for the cognitive dissonance theory festinger was researching.

  Refiner's Fire:

  As much as I adore your posts, and like to read them I gotta say: No one cares. There are so MANY nut jobs, like the JW's, predicting the end of the world and it gets tiresome. I am just so burnt out on this prediction of the end of the world stuff I could scream.

  I'm tired RF.... sorry.

  "Reinstatement Party" Called Off Per The Society

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  a number of weeks ago, i mentioned how my niece was seeking reinstatement.

  well, after all was said and done, the elders allowed her back in.

  my brother and his wife were giving her a little "coming back" party with about a total of 35 guests.

  Nothing makes any sense with these people, does it? I gave up trying to figure it all out years ago. When I was in, 20 years ago, we had parties just ot have parties. I was in a big city, and there were three or four congregations that met at our hall. We were all good friends, and as long as there were chaperones, we were encouraged to have these parties. True, some of the wealthier kids got away with way more than was allowed in our hall: drinking, smoking dope, minor petting, but for the most part these were very upbuilding and positive reunions of teenagers all under the same umbrella. It was a very fun, innocent time. Now it sounds like they are cracking down on any type of recreational enjoyment the congregation could have as an outlet. Scary. They are making them into robototrons that go door to door, go to meetings, and *screw* the recreational outlets. The only problem is: they are encouraging people *not* to meet recreationally at all, even outside of meetings, which is a very bad thing because people are SOCIAL and they need play time. To discourage parties of any sort is a bad move, in my feeling. They are going to burden them so heavy with rules, regulations, and service to Jehovah and they won't have one mode of social outlet. That just makes people depressed, anxious and scared. It's a caldron of explosives if you ask me.

  How many of you are remarried to a "WORLDLY" spouse and are HAPPIER now?

  maybe i'm just lucky, but my new husband who has never even been to church treats me better than my first husband who was raised a jw.

  my first husband was an alcoholic who had no respect for women.

  i suffered with a lot of verbal and emotional abuse.if i wasn't in a romantic mood, then there was something wrong with me.

  Well, I never married a JW, but I knew pretty early on I didn't want one. I'm just too dominant to tolerate any of their nonsense. I had a JW boyfriend for a little while and all we did was fight because I wasn't very compliant. However, my first husband was *very* much like a JW, and that didn't go over well. I finally settled on dating and decided I'd never get married. Then I met a guy ten years younger, and he was the male version of me, only more mild tempered. We were best friends, then we got married. I couldn't ask for better.

  The ten best ways to disrupt a District Assembly:

  by czarofmischief in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  1. have an apostate food truck outside with free burritos and shasta cola.. 2. wear a smurf costume and run across the stage.. 3. bikini car wash across the street.. 4. have an old-school breakdancing session on the corner, cardboard and all.

  bonus if you do it on a mat made of watchtowers and primary colored book covers.. 5. have a garage sale or flea market in the neighborhood during the afternoon session.. 6. sit in the audience and applaud everything that anybody says - try to get a standing ovation for each sentence of the closing prayer.. 7. put a recording of rap, heavy metal, or other forbidden music on instead of the kingdom melodies.. 8. get fifty of your friends to walk around in the stadium during the session, holding signs that say, "louder please!

  " and "take your shirt off!

  For you menz: Hang around the door to the ladies room with giant mirrors strapped to the tops of your shoes.

  Wear a sandwich board sign that says "Which way to the straight and narrow?"

  Wear a t-shirt that says "Armagheddon World Tour" with all the dates crossed out.

  Sit next to the contribution box with a pair of sunglasses, a white cane, and a glassful of pencils.

  Dress like Michael Jackson and walk around screaming "Beat It!" or "The kid is not my son!"

  Wait til intermission and switch the signs on the restrooms.

  Dress like a Roman Catholic Priest and carry a NWT.

  Get others to do the wave with you.

  Put fake eyes on the ends of your binoculars and point them at the people directly around you.

  Dress like a roman soldier and copy the actions of the drama characters on stage down by the stage.
