nope, went to bars all the time as a witness, in a band. no problem. At least i got to see how boring and useless they were from that perspective.
Now, "even" the "worldly" friends i have mostly think bars are a waste of time.

Were you afraid to go to a bar?
by rebel8 insomeone who shall remain nameless (*cough*snowbird*cough) mentioned she has never been to a bar.. this shocks me.. i was remembering how terrified i was of going to a bar when i was exiting the mother ship.
i was looking for the lightning bolts to get me.
and it was a big nothing really.

Crazy doctrines of Jw's
by AK - Jeff inscenario one:.
max has never believed in god - in fact curses him regularly and publicly.
he is a drunk, wife beater.

its obvious that if there were a god, he would judge by the heart, not timing.
most witnesses believe this. but the literature itself is cloudy on it, afaik.
jeff your analogy is a tiny bit off tho. how could someone not believe in someone they are cursing?

Family Members Going Back to the JW's- Terrible News.
by OnTheWayOut ini may have described the players in this story long ago, and changed the details to hide who i am.. i don't really worry about it anymore, and i don't want to look back over two years to see if i changed the details.
the following is true, and the sex and age and situation of each person is pretty accurate despite any details seeming different from before:.
my nephew is 14 years old, he's my wife's sister's boy.

there's gotta be a reason, and there's nothing to fear.
its the same difference when people are told not to talk to "apostates" or read their websites... etc
theres nothing to fear....

JW urban legends
by kurtbethel ini scraped these off of a jw message group, and they are too over the top to not pass along.
it is interesting to see that jws pass along these yarns just as their worldly friends do.
most of them have that vague "friend of a friend" quality that urban legends are well know for having.

sorry, anyone who believed this shit as a witness was a fucking moron.
i was a witness long enough - and the whole time when i heard stuff like this it was, ok... whatever. If i didnt see it or personally experience it, and it wasnt in the bible, it could go fuck itself.

Clarifying the Trinity Doctrine
by UnDisfellowshipped insince there is so much confusion among ex-jw's, jw's, and christians in general about exactly what the trinity doctrine is, i decided to post this to clarify this teaching.. the historical trinity doctrine of the christian (protestant and catholic) churches has always been this:.
* there is only one true god by nature.. * there are three distinct persons who share equally the nature of god.. * there are not three different gods (that is the false doctrine of tritheism or polytheism).. * there is not one person who is revealed three different ways (that is the false doctrine of modalism).. * however, each person of the trinity does have his own "role" or "function.
" the son willingly obeys the father.

the trinity doctrine is a ridiculous attempt to infuse paganism into "christianity" and it worked.
just because the fuckin JW cult got it right (after many other people did the legwork for them) doesnt mean the trinity is ok now.

Watchtower policy on child abuse...link to watchtower.org
by digderidoo inthis is terrible.
i stumbled across it whilst searching watchtower.org for their 'new light' on the faithful and discreet slave.. it seems to be instructions from 1995 as to how to deal with an accusation of child abuse, i have bolded the parts i found sickening.
when the samaritan came along, his heart went out to the wounded man.

$6,600 Expenses For a One-Day Assembly At a Fully-Paid-Up Hall? WTF!
by Room 215 inthe wife just got back from a one-day special circuit meeting (or whatever they call it) at the regional assembly hall.
it's got a capacity of about 1,200, fully paid for, staffed by volunteers and in use for less than eight hours.
then the guy making the announcement tells the crowd that the one-day expenses for the gig was about $6,600 (?!!!)...

you can rack up 6k in operating expenses quite quickly for any organization.
not to mention that hall is waiting around most of the year for people to come.
i think this is shortsightedness on your part, not corruption on theirs.
