I would not fit in or be welcomed. Long hair and beard. I've been told I look a lot like Jesus.

What is it with these conventions?
by tryingtounderstandjws inmy friend that is a jw spent the last week doing all kinds of things that go against everything i've been reading about jw's.
for example, drinking, hanging out with "worldly" people, gambling, having sex outside marriage and just basically living it up and doing whatever they wanted.
now, they're at this convention for the last two days and they're acting like a robot, spewing bible verses and talking about how evil the world is with all it's problems and immorality.

What is it about these conventions that does this to the JW's. I've seen this happen to this person specifically over the last few years and each time it's the same exact pattern of behavior. Right before the convention starts, usually about a week or two they get really "worldly". I don't know any other word to use in this example. And then, as soon as they get in the door to the convention, it's like they morph into another being.
What is the deal with the convention? Does it effect a lot of people like this? or is my friend just an isolated incident? -

If you want to leave the truth, just walk away!
by moomanchu ina close relative recently called me verbatim, "a bad, bad, bad apostate and a sinner against the holy spirit" .. the apostate remark didn't bother me, actually it's a compliment when you think about it.. saying i was a "sinner against the holy spirit" that did bother me.
this got me to wondering about all the names, accusations and labels given to people who don't want to be a jw anymore.. doing a quick search in the insight books i came up with a list.. apostates pg.126, antichrist pg.116, man of lawlessnes pg.
310, resurrection - sinning against the holy spirit pg.

If you practice enough, you get really good at it, it's a good thing that you stopped.

Or does this seem a little hypocritical of the JW organization?
Page 25 Of the Elder Manual
"In case of natural disaster . . . " "Check to see what government aid may be available"
This statement comes from an organization that won't salute the flag, vote, or defend freedom, but has the nerve to seek assistance from that same government?
I've read a lot about the lack of education in the JW organization which causes an economic challenge to its members in their personal lives. Considering the attitude towards government aid, are there many JW's that use or participate in the Welfare system, Food Stamps or other government support programs? -

Oh man, people actually do this stuff?
I'm am so sorry. I didn't know it was actually that bad. When my JW friend mentioned a time card, I really thought she was joking. She never showed me any of the "behind the scene books or literature" just a lot of those "regular WT magazines"
TIME SHEETS FOR JESUS !!!!
Oh man, oh man, oh man, I'm getting light headed just thinking about it.
I don't mean to laugh, but I am, I can't help it, it's too F..kin funny.
Thanks for the link. I am reading more of it tonight.
