  i never became a zelouse witness, but i do remember being a borg kid.

  there was no one my age at the meetings for most of my childhood.

  I never became a zelouse witness, but i do remember being a borg kid

  There was NO ONE my age at the meetings for most of my childhood. Except at one stage there was this half in half out family who had a fat annoying kid who never stopped boasting. And since i wasnt allowed to go to school camps and go to sleepovers I never was able to make friends in real life. I was always scared to make worldly friends because i would have to tell them why i cant come over, go to birthdays, ect... it's just easier to not have close friends and just walk in the shadows. To this day i havent made any close friends, like someone i can just ring and say "hey wanna go out"

  I remember the meetings were BORING!!! The elders seemed to resent having to give talks and would "um" and "ar" for endless hours. When i use to go to the toliets during the songs i would just stand in there swaying my head sometimes trying to feel something, like a lion in a cage. There's only so many things to draw on your note pad, there's only so long you can look at the pictures in the watch tower. I cant think of anything less natural for little boys to do.

  I remeber HATING suits. They are itchy and there's nothing worse than on a beautiful sunny day putting on an itchy suit and going BORING witnessing with dad for 2 hours and seeing other peoples kids have waterfights and actually do stuff. I wanted to play in mud and be rough but i had to walk at a slow pace with straight back and hand out stupid Jehovah mags.

  I remember wishing my life away. Thinking "I wish time would go faster" (what a disgusting thought for a little kids, or anyone) I remember the family awkwardly sitting around the table reading the whole watchtower chapter, it went on forever under my dads control. I would keep flicking to the last page to see how long to go. Then the bloody question box would take another 5mins. "CAN WE SKIP IT?? PLEASE??"

  I remember everything was about rules. "oh no we dont watch that show, oh no we dont celebrate that" It seemed that being a jehovah witness was about how many things i did wrong. The only value i had was how well i could be a jehovah witness. I didnt matter as a person, all that mattered was how jehovah witness i could be. And it seemed like everyone else was better at it than me. In my mind no one else was bored at the meetings and everyone loved witnessing. I felt like i had been thrown into some alien planet and didnt understand their customs

  anyway just thought i'd reflect on this (out loud)

  what do you guys remember?

  back in december, when i awakened from the wt mind control - i would wake up for several weeks in the middle of the night thinking "what are you doing?

  you know the witnesses have the truth".

  every day or so these thoughts would return.

  thats funny, because actually when i saw the light I suddenly woke up and just said "BULL SHIT, it's all just bull shit" then i ran over to the computer and looked at athiest things. it had been playing on my mind for a while and i was struggling to justify all the contradictions and things that just didnt make sense. It's funny that the answer was so simple that it came to me in my sleep

  BANE Does Not Represent Us Vegans

  by Blue Grass in

  2. friends

  as a vegan i'm embarrassed to have anything in common with jwn's newest asshole bane.

  us vegans are typically passive and very hippie like and do not start fights for no reason.

  i would like to reach out to my fellow vegan and ask him what is he doing here.

  ...New Study on Vegetarian`s...Not as Healthy as Some may Think...

  by OUTLAW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sydney (afp) - people who live on vegetarian diets have slightly weaker bones than their meat-eating counterparts, australian researchers said thursday.. a joint australian-vietnamese study of links between the bones and diet of more than 2,700 people found that vegetarians had bones five percent less dense than meat-eaters, said lead researcher tuan nguyen.. the issue was most pronounced in vegans, who excluded all animal products from their diet and whose bones were six percent weaker, nguyen said.. there was "practically no difference" between the bones of meat-eaters and ovolactovegetarians, who excluded meat and seafood but ate eggs and dairy products, he said.. "the results suggest that vegetarian diets, particularly vegan diets, are associated with lower bone mineral density," nguyen wrote in the study, which was published thursday in the american journal of clinical nutrition.

  "but the magnitude of the association is clinically insignificant," he added.. nguyen, who is from sydney's garvan institute for medical research and collaborated on the project with the pham ngoc thach university of medicine in ho chi minh city, said the question of whether the lower density bones translated to increased fracture risk was yet to be answered.. "given the rising number of vegetarians, roughly five percent (of people) in western countries, and the widespread incidence of osteoporosis, the issue is worth resolving," he said.. .

  what the article failed to mention was that fat asses have higher bone density as a result of carrying the extra weight around.

  Also there is no link between less dense bones and osteoporsis but there is a link to meat and milk.

  Vegetarians as a whole are more healthy and i'm yet to see a study that shows vegetarians to have more bone fractures or breaks.

  this article is just a desperate attempt to critisize the vegetarian diet. It's so weak yet they thought it good enough to publish. Hardly newsworthy

  When marrying a witness, dont be led astray

  one eighth of them pedos, one eighth of them gay

  and being a woman, you'll soon reaslise

  the man is the head, and you just cook pies

  and his future appearance, will turn out quite grim

  cause when elders are fat, gluttony is no longer a sin

  meetings and study and variouse krud

  and if you are dying, you cant have no blood

  So when marrying a witness, please be advised

  that men are twice as stupid, when they follow a lie

  who cares what it would be technically called.

  Technically Rosa Parks was a dirty criminal with no regard for the law. What she did was wrong. She thought she was above the law.

  The law isnt meant to be moral, it's just what best serves capitalisim.

  All these people go round saying,, ohhhhh THE LAW™ .... ohhh breaking THE LAW™ as if the law is the be all and end all.

  So if a big business was legaly poisoning the river which was causing birth defects in the community , and all legal possibilities have been attempted to stop them , people who worship the law would say it's immoral to stop the poisoning by any other method other than the law.

  My experience at the District Convention today - Appreciate your comments

  i know i am the one to constantly harp on this board how the organization has lost its "swagger" and the baptism and attendance is going down, and people are waking up.. not so fast.. the audience cried, i mean a lot of people cried when they played some of the songs from the new songbook.

  some had bethel singers who sounded pretty good singing them.

  so many after the program were saying how touched they were.. then the new release of the book showing how the book of acts prefigures the organization today.
