I just love the overall themes of most metal music. Combined with the poetic way that most of the ideas are presented, along with the amazing instrumentals, makes it my favorite genre of music...
Plus it's just friggin' adrenalizing!!!

So, in other words, the JW's mercifully bullshit people into thinking that all their troubles will be gone...only to give them MORE troubles (meetings, field circus, talks, not fitting in with the cliques, etc) heaped on their already overflowing plates. What a gift!! And since every JW was given this "gift" and passes it on, does that make them all re-gifters??

My Grandma's dying...I found out by way of an impersonal text message.
by petitebrunette inyesterday at work i received a text message from my sister that my 91 yr old grandmother is unconscious, her organs are shutting down, and they're just keeping her comfortable.
she said that they moved her to a group home, and gave me the address.
i thanked her for letting me know.

I'm sorry about your grandma...and sorry you had to find out this way. I'm going to agree with the others...if you had a good relationship with your grandma, you may want to pay your respects so you will not have any regrets. If not, I say screw the lot of them and don't worry about their judgments.
@ sir82, I'm nose-ringed, spiky-haired, and soon-to-be tattooed...never did the coke thing, and happy to be female lmao. I guess I proved them right on a few points, eh?

I'm interested to know how the exchange went... I get the PTSD whenever I hear dub-speak. The last time I was in a conversation with a JW, I broke down crying and gasping, begging them to please please STOP, NO MORE!!

Did you watch R rated movies when you were in it?
by ldrnomo inlast night, i watched an r rated movie that featured violence.
at least 30 people were shot in the first 45 min of the movie.. while i was in and an elder, i watched r rated movies all the time just didn't talk about it.
so how many of you watched r rated movies even though "mother" said not to?.

Like flipper and TheLoveDoctor, anything I had that was "questionable" was hidden from the ex. I remember when Twilight first came out, I went to see it with a "sister"...and I became interested in reading the books. I knew my ex wouldn't allow it. So I bought it and hid it and would read it when he wasn't home. Same thing with movies.
I once bought an aerobic bellydance workout DVD and he saw it and made me trash it because he said it was TOO EROTIC!! Good thing he never knew about my Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease video...

Was Judas Present During "The Lord's Evening Meal"?
by dontplaceliterature inso...i heard the speaker during the memorial mention this.
he said for a fact, that judas would not have been present.
however, upon reading luke 22, you see clearly that the argument about judas started after jesus instituted the new covenant.

I do believe Judas was present. I never used to think that because of Watchtower teaching. I always thought DaVinci's Last Supper was inaccurate because there were 13 people present... Now I feel it's inaccurate because there should have been 14 (one of the people in the painting seems to be a woman...the men are all very masculine-looking, even with long hair...this person has a very feminine face, as well as folded hands and demure down-cast eyes...plus, her robes are the same colors as Jesus', but are inverse...if Judas was there, that would make 14 people present. I do believe Jesus was married and this was his wife and I believe he did have children as well).
Anywho, it doesn't make sense to me that Judas would have been dismissed for such an important occasion. The other apostles would have wondered why the heck one of the twelve was not partaking.
Interestingly, this part always confused me...until I realized the folly of the WTBS. Jesus is said to have been god's son...but not divine. If that's the case, then how could he have been able to read Judas' heart to know he would betray him?? So, according to the bible itself, Jesus was divine. None of the other apostles were endowed with the ability to read hearts. While they made predictions and prophecies, healed and cured, etc, I've never read anywhere that said they were given the ability to know someone's heart. While I think that the bible itself is canonized to perpetuate the myth of Jesus' divinity, I think that even in interpreting such myth, the WTBS has it all wrong.

I really am amazed that so many people think that the events happening in the world are anything new! People turning against their governments has been going on FOR CENTURIES. Since the beginning of government itself! Natural disasters have been happening, and yes on the same scale, since before humans ever evolved. It's just another day in paradise for humans living on this rock. But people need to see "signs" in everything that something better is coming. Maybe it is! I feel we as humans are heading into a period of enlightenment...more knowledge is more readily available and those who want to avail themselves of such knowledge will be the ones who progress in this world...again, it's survival of the fittest. Only, instead of adapting and evolving physically, we're going to have to do it mentally. But no great cataclysm brought by any god is going to destroy everything and bring in peace. These aren't "signs of the times we're living in", they're ancient writers stating the obvious about how things were and will be. There will be earthquakes, food shortages, pestilence...UM, yeah, those things were happening when those words were spoken and written. So what's new? Nothing!

Finally, Jesus got it!
by DagothUr inthis is a statement from the article 8/1/1996 questions from readers "since jesus has now been empowered as the one to conquer in gods name, it seems reasonable that his father has told him when the end will come, when he will complete his conquest.. oh, joy, oh, joy!
so the boy finally found out the date of the big a. it certainly seems reasonable!
even jesus gets new light from time to time....

Were You Ever Treated "Differently" Because One of Your Family Members Was Disfellowshipped?
by Was New Boy in"by their love"...... shunning in the "borg" many times has effected not just the person that was dfed but other family members too.. my father was dfed in 1962 for "rebeliousness against the organization" he wanted to go to a different kh than we were assigned to.
needless to say that decision was later reversed.. that was strange, but how the witnesses treated my mother, sister and myself....was even stranger.
it was as if.... we now had some kind of leprosy.

Yes, this is classic JW behavior. I grew up with an unbelieving father and then my brother got DF'ed a year after he was baptized. My brother didn't live in our home because he was an adult...but my mom and I were still treated like we had spiritual herpes. Mom hardly ever got called on to comment at meetings, and where I was hardly ever invited over to associate with friends and was leftout of most events, the shunning was even moreso in that I didn't even hardly get spoken to at the hall! People were wary around mom and I for the whole 7 years that my brother was DF'ed.
The really sickening part? My brother got reinstated, and then my dad started studying and got baptized. Now my parents are the freakin' cat's meow because my dad has privileges in the congregation! People who treated my mom with utter contempt because she had an unbelieving husband and who looked on my dad with disdain whenever he'd have the gumption to show up at a memorial or a JW gathering, now these same people are up my parents' asses and act like the history is not there (much like the WTBS). These people treated my mom and I like absolute shit. Gossiping, rumors, not wanting to work with us out in service, treating us like we were not worthy of their good graces because my dad wasn't a JW and my brother was DF'ed. And now they're all chummy chummy and wanting to do things with my parents and inviting them for dinner and.....AAAAAH! It makes me physically ILL the hypocracy of these people. My mom is the same person she was before...but they get the golden treatment now because my dad converted. Interestingly, neither my brother nor I are DF'ed, but we're both inactive/faded and it hasn't affected their social status because nobody really knows what's going on with us.

This is why I don't have contact with non-family JW's anymore. I just can't deal with it. You handled it really well, I think. Maybe wait on a response to her, considering what she says will just drive you nuts.
