  yesterday a brother called the house and asked for my husband.

  i told him i'm sorry he is doing his study and i will not call him to the phone.

  i told him we do not talk to each other and he would have to call him back around 11:30. he called back around 11:40 and sure sounded different then his first call.

  My dad would get physically violent on occasion- once, he left a hand shaped bruise on my mom's arm. She was ticked about it and wore a sundress to meeting.

  One person asked about it, the lady my mom had studied with. No one ever said anything to my dad.

  HOW I GOT IN, THEN OUT, OF THE SEWER

  i was replying to flippers re: did you exit the witnesses due to injustices/differences with doctrine - both?

  and i found myself writing my experience and it got a bit long so i am posting here.

  i am sorry i cant tell you my story more specifically but we have been front-page news in our area to do with our beliefs and some of the steps i have taken more recently to show my disgust at the injustices have been unique so it would be easy to recognise me.

  Thanks for your story! One thing that I have found fascinating is how so many people have similar experiences within their congregation. I had thought that my local one, nicknamed in the area as "the ice congregation" due to the unfriendliness, was an isolated example!

  Reading all these personal stories strengthens my resolve to never go back.

  a wisconsin man won top prize in the "world's best liar" contest.. the burlington liars club gave its top award to 58-year-old public health inspector jerry legro of sun prairie.

  his lie: ""i just realized how bad the economy really is.

  i recently bought a new toaster oven and as a complimentary gift, i was given a bank.".

  JWs don't force their members to not celebrate holidays- they choose not to.

  My Presentation at the UU Church

  by Shepherd Book in

  2. friends

  as some of you already know, i was invited to give a presentation for the minneapolis theosopical society at the unitarian-universalist church a few weeks ago.

  the title of my 'talk' was "why does everyone celebrate in december?

  " and i discussed the december solstice and holidays celebrated around that time.. of course, i also managed to find a way to talk about jws and their disdain for xmas and all holidays.

  That was really interesting! And I thought that it was funny that they wanted to ask you about your experiences as a JW.

  List of Prominent JW Urban Legends...

  by Tuesday in

  2. friends

  hey folks,.

  i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.

  that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

  okay, i posted this in a thread that got locked and buried.

  since then i've been really busy and have overdosed on christmas music in the past week.

  so, i'm resurrecting this "holy day" holiday that most people will unknowingly be celebrating tomorrow.
