Clean here.
I come here for my Anti-depressant fix.
since i'm still suffering in this crackerjacks organization, these are some of statements that just drive me nuts.
1. in service: "we are not here to convert you" funny how jws have the true religion but resort to deception and outright lies in order to get people to listen
2. to other jws: "we won't have to deal with this in the new system" 7 billion evil doers dead and gone, no longer create problems for us
"Pray to Jehovah and he'll answer all your prayers."
This being said to a person with terminal cancer. Who happened to declare they didn't believe in Jehovah anymore. And they hated, yes, hated the JWs. (not me; yet, on the cancer part) They were then told to try some Asian homeopathic herbs for the cancer. Seriously. I almost cried laughing when I read the e-mail. It circulated within the family.
They are all nutz.
thank this dipshit for giving a story to jws next time they bash higher education:.
alumna sues college because she hasn't found a jobnew york (cnn) -- a recent college graduate is suing her alma mater for $72,000 -- the full cost of her tuition and then some -- because she cannot find a job.. startclickprintexclude===========image=======================/image======================caption==========trina thompson has sued her alma mater, monroe college of new york.===========/caption=========.
endclickprintexcludetrina thompson, 27, of the bronx, graduated from new york's monroe college in april with a bachelor of business administration degree in information technology.. on july 24, she filed suit against the college in bronx supreme court, alleging that monroe's "office of career advancement did not help me with a full-time job placement.
Idiot.
Not only was her GPA not good (2.7 out of 4.0 is not good for a college grad now), she is putting her name out there for every employer to see that she will sue.
So, if you hire her and you fire her for any reason (employment at will), she will sue.
She will be lucky to get a job on the fryer at McDonald's. Real lucky.
She needs to pull a Naked Cowboy and learn how to play a guitar.
some years ago me and my wife we were visited by a relative and his wife (all jws...) ... it was few days after christmass...... upon arival they gave us nicely wraped gifts ..... we joked "wow how nice of you to get us christmass gifts...!".
they replied: well it is not for christmass, but we were with our inlaws recently, and they have this nice tradition of celebrating "happy day".
they held between christmass and new years eve ... you know, its good for kids, so when kids get back to school, they are not embarassed by not having any new presents... so we thought, its neat and decided to celebrate it as well ... how do you like the idea, it is not christmass, its just a substitute...????".
*WE*, meaning my direct sibling and I, got the "You get food, clothing and shelter from your father and I. You don't need presents. It will make you greedy and materialistic. We buy you presents everyday just by those items."
Uh, yeah, riiight.
My cousins, my Moms sister, had XYZ Day. They put up a big banner in their home, in a back bedroom, and everyone gave each other gifts. They also did this to my other aunts and cousins. We apparantly were the only ones left out. I found out by accident when I had to use the bathroom. My aunt told me to go use the one upstairs and when I got there she screamed for me to not and it was too late. I cut through my cousins room and discovered the banner and all the presents.
It actually caused a rift in the family. It was between Xmas and New Years.
My mom tried to explain that they were weak in the truth (Uncle was an Elder) and we were better for not being *Materialistic* like them.
Uh, yeah, riiight.
She is and was a cheap person.
it is my understanding that at one point, witnesses were taught that after armeggedon black people would be turned white, since they were inferior.
so when was this teaching rescended, and what was the progression of minorities the borg?.
We had 2 Black families at our KH. This was outside Chicago proper. Suburb.
I recall them coming to get togethers, weddings, etc.
We also quite a had quite a few Latinos. And a few Asians.
Being Chicago, now, this might be common, however, in the 60's and 70's I don't know how common it was. I was a kid and didn't think anything of it. My school was mixed, so it seemed normal.
I do know that only the white guys were Elders and MS.
since i'm still suffering in this crackerjacks organization, these are some of statements that just drive me nuts.

"Food at the proper time"
"Spiritual Food"
"Jehovah's Kingdom"
"Greedy False Religion"
"Satan's Wicked System"
"The Great Tribulation"
"Survive into the New System"
This is directly from a family e-mail:
So glad we know what Jehovah has in store for the righteous and for the
wicked ones. So glad all the wicked will be done away with soon.
Problems are monumental worldwide with no permanent solutions by mankind.
We are patiently waiting the annihilation of Babylon the Great, the
world empire of false religion which triggers the Great Tribulation, then Armageddon.
Hopefully we can do Jehovah's will and be counted among the ones who will
witness it and survive it into a new system. It will be thrilling to welcome back our
dear loved ones lost in death.
My family is calmly waiting to watch people be annihilated. By their own words, they are eagerly awaiting this.
When you read these words and how calmly they are written, it is chilling. That is why I believe they would drink Kool-Aid.
I have no doubt, if told during a Sunday meeting to drink it NOW, the FDS orders it, The GT is starting and it will calm (kill) you, they would. One by one to die.
And/or, if told they had to kill people in order to serve Jehovah and to survive into the New System, I also think many would.
I know for a fact my Mom would. She is a brain dead (washed) lemming.
pensioner enters jehovah's witness church with machine gunpublished: 31 jul 09 09:13 cet.
an 82-year-old man who entered a meeting of jehovahs witnesses armed with a submachine gun, three magazines, a samurai sword and a knife has been arrested, bielefeld police reported on friday.. some 81 members of the church were gathered in their kingdom hall on dunlopstrae in the citys sennestadt district when a congregation member noticed the masked elderly man enter the vestibule waving the machine gun around 8:45 pm on thursday.. .
the witness quietly informed the congregation and directed them to escape the building via emergency exit, a police statement said.. .
I have to admit, I first burst out laughing and second thought was "it has to be over a DFing".
Very sad.
On one hand I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone, on the other I wish he had.
However, if he had hurt someone they would claim they were persecuted. Now that he didn't hurt anyone they can claim they are protected by Jehovah.
here's another update on my brother in law:.
my sister and b-i-l went to the cancer center in toronto earlier this week to see about getting the stemcell transplant for his disease.
it was actually an encouraging visit as the oncologist there said that they did not feel his condition had progressed into the acute myloid leukemia yet and that he had longer---up to 2 years---than what his local oncologist had said.
Mary, I'm very sorry to hear about your B-I-L. My thoughts are with you.
he was born yesterday with many complications including breathing problems, possible lung underdevelpment, anemia and body temperature issues.
the poor little guy was hooked up to a breathing tube and tons of monitors.
because the hospitals couldn't handle some of the problems, they sent him and my daughter to the best hospital in boston last night.
I wish him and your family the best.
lmao.
