  i listen to one of these all time in our hall.

  she brings it up constantly about how they would do this or that but he has to work that saturday.

  i think she should get a job and then he could find a lower paying 9 to 5 job..

  I was married to a man that refused to work because he only wanted to pioneer and be on stage. His parents supported us for the first decade (lovely, right?). I was not allowed to get a job because I would probably fornicate and do other unspeakable brazen acts.

  in fort worth, texas around 1959. gradually i became aware of the argot.

  jw's had these phrases they used over and over again.. upon first hearing, these words and phrases stood out as odd, weird or awkward.. however.

  All my siblings had left years before and welcomed me with as much love, affection and excitement you could possibly imagine. My parents were sad, but deep down totally understood due to me being married to an elder that more resembled a member of ISIS than your average husband. Even after being DF'ed, my JW parents have continued to stay very close to me through the years.

  Elders: Born-Ins vs Recruits

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is an unofficial survey.. was curious as to the number of currently serving elders who were born-in and/or raised as jw versus those who were "recruited"( i.e, not born in or raised as jw.).

  for instance, right now in the hall i am assigned to:.

  2 elders were born-in and/or raised as jws.. 5 were not (recruited as adults).

  BOC, another interesting thing I have observed is that a lot of born in elders have (had) unbelieving fathers

  I remember that convention well. I was newly married and my husband and I had a few years of full time service under our belt, so we decided to sign up for possible candidates for Gilead. I was guzzling the kook aid.

  A Non J-Dub paying a visit to KingDumb Hall!

  by J-DUBBED in

  2. experiences

  i was thinking of doing a pop-in visit when they're doing their thing(what ever that might be).

  to just see what it is that lures and hooks people, like our son.

  i was worried there is some sort of subliminal messages in audio or video that start to brain-wash a person.

  Is Anthony Morris III gay?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.

  nothing wrong with being gay.

  but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .

  This is slightly off topic, but I am on such a Gore Vidal obsession these days and I absolutely love, love, love the following quote by him.....

  “Actually, there is no such thing as a homosexual person, any more than there is such a thing as a heterosexual person. The words are adjectives describing sexual acts, not people. The sexual acts are entirely normal; if they were not, no one would perform them.”

  My Yoke is Kindly and My load is Light! What did this scripture mean to you as a JW?

  by BU2B in

  2. friends

  jesus said that "my yoke is kindly and my load is light" what did this scripture mean to you when you were mentally in?

  did you feel the jw load was kindly and light?

  if not, what was the point in him uttering those words?
