  what is the one thing that made you want to NEVER go back???

  for me it was when my elder dad put brusies on my arm, drug me down the hallway making me hit my head and broke my finger which resulted in surgery...and then he blamed it all on me!!!!

  made me go to the meeting with my cast all druged up on pain killers and tell everyone that asked me what happened that it was an accident.

  f***ing loser!!!!!

  JWs Get Paid to Go Door-to-Door!

  this was just too funny and i have to share with you all.. i was browsing a website called abovetopsecret and there are about 16 pages of different topics about jehovah's witnesses.

  some very interesting stuff, and mind you, i think it's mostly "worldies".. .

  anyway, i stumbled across a comment where a poster said that they think jws get paid to go door to door.. .

  If I remember right, you can only write that off if you use the itemized deductions. In my area, most of the witnesses I knew weren't in a high enough bracket, and just took the standard deduction.

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

  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.

  Chow. One Last Sappy Thread.

  six years - six years of this shit i've gone over and over, and i am officially done.

  there are plenty of flame warriors out there to push people in the right direction.

  barring that, common-sense will surely prevail for the rest.

  I thought this was another food thread.

  It's good to take a break sometimes. I appreciate people letting us know when they are no longer going to post. So many, I have wondered what happened when they are just suddenly gone.

  What Was YOUR Worst Quality As A JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. 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.

  The one most common to that organization, I'm sure - Pharisee. Pharisette? Phariselle? Pharishee...yeah, that's it. What else could you really expect to come out of a Pharisee Phactory?

  Hello everyone

  by Wordlygirl in

  i have been lurking on here for some time and i finally decided to join the fray.

  i am 25 years old and was raised in the society.

  fortunately when i was 8, my father left the organization and this allowed me to see the wrold from both angles, the jw (mom) and not (dad).. at first, i was strongly on the side of the witnesses and i even allowed myself to be convinced that getting baptised at 11 was a good idea.
