Idea of respecting the Governing Body is just a Satire.
by Leprechaun inevery time i have ever heard them give a talk at an assembly i had the feeling those in attendance were sub-consciously worshipping these loons.
i felt squeamish each time those in attendance would applaud to each and every shuffle of his white shoes and changing of his hips while he barked of his platitudes and wonderment at all their accomplishments in patterson or in some other building complex.
how come i could see right off they were nothing more than shysters, but it seemed nobody else in that whole dam arena could but only me?

I think the US could really kick major Ying Yang with out much effort if they simply let the big Hell Hounds do what they need to do.

Trueblue:
That reminds me of what me and my wife were laughing was about once in make believe land deep in a rabbit hole, we thought wouldn’t it be cool if at every Kingdom Hall there was one special room where there would be at least one nice water bong and after the meetings parents and the elders would put on pull over jammies and take our shoes off, we could meet together to mellow out with soom good hootie and let it all hang out, and have plazma screen TV and watch the movie " Six String Summeri" And just laugh our Hineys off.

The most inappropriate remarks from Jehovahs Witnesses
by jambon1 ini have a few which still either anger me, make me sad or just make me grateful that i am no longer one of them.
1 - "well, everyone is going to die anyway, so if it at armageddon then ce la vie" 2 - "the disater today at the world trade centre is sad, but exciting" 3 - (an elder) "when armageddon happens, i want to be at a window, watching it all".
sick, sick, sick!

I remember back in October of 2005 my daughter died from a doctor prescribed over dose of Methadone for a simple back ache, she died two days into the regimen, Methadone is bad shit stay away from it folks. But anyway her name was Spring, at that time she was disfellowshipped some in the surrounding congregations voiced to her younger sister that she would not be resurrected because she was (kicked out) disfellowshipped”. It almost killed me to hear that from them, the “Bible Students” assured me that Spring my daughter would most certainly be resurrected with everyone else, because of that I will never have anything to do with Jehovah’s Witnesses, they are cruel.

Yup Virginia, I think we are all going to get creamed in 2012, the King of the North will take a dump on the King of the South and the King of the South will take a dump on the King of the North, and they will engage in a pushing back and forth tell one of them falls in the shit of the other. Then Michael will stand up, and say I have enough of this your shit, and will beat them with a rod of iron about the head and brow. (Will someone finish the rest of this narrative I forgot the rest.)

Oh yeah babe, this one stands out I remember this one old boy giving a talk at a circuit assembly, he was talking about how wonderfully we are made, and how the anatomy of the human body of a man and women with their the sex organs he said and I Quote: “how the man’s penis fits just right in a women’s vagina, and how god made it feel so good”. This old boy kept rambling on how wonderful it was to the point of becoming teary eyed, at that some brothers helped him off the stage, and he did not want to go quietly, he could not understand what he had said or done wrong. A number of sisters stood up in the crowd and yelled not in front of my kids, and promptly left. Of course the Watchtower study can talk about anything in front of kids and its ok.

Beard stories. Nothing but beards.
by Open mind ini've done a jwn search on beards and had some great reads.. i've learned the history of russell vs. rutherford and knorr and the hippies.. here's what i'd like to hear about.. either you or someone you know who grew a beard and the fallout because of it.. for me, i'd love to hear about the squeaky clean elder who decided to grow a beard and got removed because of it.. katie kitten, from england, on another thread told the story of her dad, the squeaky clean elder who grew a beard in the 70's and got away with it.. i don't think that would happen in california 2009.. anyway, what are your beard stories?.
i'm all ears.
(and my ears are freshly plucked.

Beards, ah yes beards, some say I look like Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead”. I remember when I felt I the need to prove my point with GB about beards, and in a sick way get their approval so I felt good about wearing one, I told them at the time if many of the judges on the US Supreme Court have beards where do you get off saying it is unacceptable to wear one if I so desire? I now feel no need to ask them for permission for anything in life or my spirituality, I guess I am finally free from the Borg or Landrew, or Cult or whatever you want to call it them; and it feels dam good. So, pass me that Doobie.

Attended DC this weekend, quick recap...the End may not be imminent could take a million years but its still coming
by shopaholic inattended the dc this weekend in california with a jw acquaintance of mine that wanted to go 'jw man-hunting' and didn't want to go alone.
she knows i'm not active and haven't been to a meeting in a long time and have no interest in jw men.
i think she feels like she has the best of both worlds with me, anyway it was interesting...the gb appears to be changing their tune and i don't think the masses even realize it.. br.

My ex-wife who was a Witness all her life was a freek about such things, we would go to a movie and if some women flashed on the screen with her boobs a flopping she would try to place both hands on my head and force my head down on to my lap, I remeber I knocked her hands off my head and yelled "Bitch Please"!!!! I told her latter if she ever done that again I dump her like the freek she is. I didn't care if she seen some naked dude on the big screen. Ah she was just a Beeeoch annyway.

Bethels could still serve as pilgrimage shrines-quietlyleaving
by Lady Lee ini've been here a long time and this comment by quietlyleaving finally hit me.
bethels could still serve as pilgrimage shrines.
while the wts criticizes the many people in the world for their pilgrimages they just don't see that those tours of bethel which are so organized are the exact same thing.. you get a tour of a publishing company.

“You get a tour of a publishing company. Instead of religion icons and symbols you get books, magazines, printing presses and a short step into all that is needed to accomplish this great publishing empire, like housing, and feeding the "volunteers" who do the work as slave labor.
You don't even get a history lesson except a few artifacts to show they do have a 100+ year history but they are very careful to hide any real info.”
Slave labor is right; if you was not a Wanker going into Bethel you will be latter.
When you think about it they really are not 100 + years old, it was after Russell’s death that” uncle Joe and Franz took over and apostisied themselves from the Bible Students who were not a religious organization in the true sense of the term as the Jehovah's Witness's understand themself's because Russell did not believe nor aprove of the concept.
