  last week when i was tipsy i ordered a copy of sing praises to jehovah, and it came in the mail today.

  i hadn't heard some of the songs since i was a child, and i've rediscovered some of the lyrics.

  they are quite amusing (albeit disturbing).. this is a classic everyone knows, song number 2. .

  There was one dirge-like song, "Dark days are here, man lives in fear........." Just awful.
  
  I always thought we should sing old Roger Miller songs at the meetings, that would have gotten the feet a stompin'

  I never understood the prohibition on facial hair, especially when all the biblical men in the WT books are shown with beards.

  another experience that i wanted to share: ok, this happened to me a few years ago.

  i was between jobs, and i decided to use that time to auxiliary pioneer.

  i had never been able to do it before and i was very excited.

  I met some good people in the "truth." But a lot them were some of the most mean-spirited idiots you'll ever come across. I usually found the worst ones were also the biggest hypocrites also.
  
  I had an elder tell me that I could no longer consider myself one of the JWs because I hadn't turned in FS time in six months. Apparently there is a six month rule I never heard about. He said to me "you're nothing now."
  
  I could go on and on with experiences like that, but it would take all night. Suffice to say it is a sick religion at best.

  What JW teaching did you find hardest to defend??

  for me it was that god is killing billions of people just to prove a point.

  what about you?

  Pretty much all the above postings. I just found the hypocrisy unbearable after a while. I remember reading about Beth Sarim, the mansion Rutherford built, I think in San Diego? They tried to rationalize it by saying that certain prophets were going to come back to life and would need some digs to stay in. Man what a bunch of crap. I regret every penny I gave the WT, and every minute I wasted with that cult.

  How do you know if you're in love?

  by LouBelle in

  2. friends

  to be honest - i've never loved anyone - i'm talking about the romatic type here.

  i have liked & been attracted to people....but love, nope.

  i have no idea how to identify it.. looking at people in "so called" love today can be a bit deceptive, as what i have seen and still see to a great extent is 2 people .

  Are judicial committees titillating when the wrongdoer is attractive?

  by JimmyPage in

  is it more interesting to the elders if the sister doing naughty things is sexy?

  or is it just uncomfortable for everyone no matter what?

  do their questions get more or less detailed depending on looks?

  I don't know man, I'm a guy and I got asked some really strange questions in some of those judicial committee meetings. Looking back, I should have told them to go to hell, and walked out. I think there are a lot of people on this board who feel the same way.
