Why did you pick your avator or username?

by cognac in

well, i picked my username because that's what i saw in front of me and i like the way it sounded.

no real story behind that.

i picked my avator because that's the way i felt.

I have changed my avitar several times. I just like the Three Stooges. The name refers to my quirky behavior.

Did you think adults were more mature when you were a kid?

by Wordlygirl in

i am 25 years old now and work in a manufacturing and distribution facility.

when i was a kid, i always thought adults acted "old" and were usually wakled the straight and narrrow line.

but now that i have been in the workplace for a few years, i am shocked at how "high school" things still are.

Shit, if you could see my adult family you would think they still haven't grown up...

Witnesses Who Were Hypocrites!

by minimus in

some jws truly believe and live their faith.

but many witnesses lived double lives or spoke one way in front of the congregation but privately, they were just the opposite.. i knew an elder and his wife who owned a liquor/convenience store.

they sold tobacco and lottery tickets but claimed that the real owner of the business was the wife's "worldly" father, which was hogwash.. were there any real hypocrites that you knew about?.

What Was YOUR Worst Quality As A JW?

by minimus in

jw
friends

for me it had to be that i was trained to be judgmental.

i'm naturally a person who doesn't believe everything someone says---just because they say it's true.

still, a "good elder" is supposed to be watchful of what might "contaminate" the congregation.. so, it's time to bare your soul.
