How do you feel about street people asking you for money

by I quit! in

jw
friends

about half of the freeway exits i get off at have someone there begging.

in the past i felt they were only hitting me up for money to by drugs or booze so i rarely handed them any.

in this economy i'm wondering if some of them aren't really in need of something to eat.

I've had a situation similar to this happen to me and both of my parents at multiple gas stations in South Florida. It seems like half of the time I'm pumping gas at night, this happens.

You're pumping gas and will be approached by someone. I've had both men and women approach me. The story is similar to something like this from every person so far.

"Hey, I'm so sorry to ask. I feel so embarrassed. Do you have any money for gas? I'm trying to get home and my car ran out of gas. I don't have any money on me. Anything you can spare would be a big help." Sometimes "I'm out of work" "homeless" "living in my car" is thrown in there followed by a sad face.

When I'm in a lazy mood, I give them change just so they'll go away. When I'm feeling a bit more frisky, I interrupt their sad story and finish it for them, followed by telling them I've heard their scam before. After they finish with me, they go to the next person and repeat the same load of BS to them.

In downtown WPB I had a bum come up to me asking for money. I had no cash, felt bad for him and gave him what change I had. He suggested I go to the ATM to get some cash for him. Yeah, sure...

So, at first I guess I was willing to give them spare change or a buck or two if I had it in my wallet. I genuinely felt bad for them. Now... not so much.

What's with JW's and X-mas lights?..........

by awildflower in

i mean i remember growing up as a jw and then 15 baptized adults years, and every year all the jw's would say something to the effect, "lets go look at all the pretty lights", or they would tell their neighbors that they really liked their lights.

and i remember teaching my kids the same thing, that it's ok to look at the lights (but not ok to like anything else about x-mas, oh regrets!

) doesn't that seem weird or something?

JerkhovahsWitless

My mom admits to the lights being pretty, but the people are "marked for death"

Two books sent to me by xjw

by dogisgod in

jw
friends

i just finished reading "i'm perfect, you're doomed" by kyria abrahams and am trying to hurry thru "the spanking room" by william coburn.

i would have laughed out loud at the first if it were not just an east coast version of my early years.

the second i don't think i can read too closely as it just goes over the same stuff only more of a guys view.

JerkhovahsWitless

I read I'm Perfect, You're Doomed.

I've heard of the other, but haven't had the chance to read it (mainly because its not at my library)

Bethel brother prays we remain submissve and obey the GB

by JerkhovahsWitless in

jw
friends

i had my sad (and what a sad day for me it was) maybe a little over a month ago... the concluding talk was given by some bethel douche.

his name is don or john larson / larsen.

his wife's name is emma (maybe it was enema?).

JerkhovahsWitless

I had my SAD (and what a sad day for me it was) maybe a little over a month ago... The concluding talk was given by some Bethel douche. His name is Don or John Larson / Larsen. His wife's name is Emma (maybe it was Enema?). Maybe someone here recognizes who that is?

Anyway, during his talk he said something along the lines of how opposers of the Watchtower don't have any facts or proof the Truth™ / organization is wrong. They oppose because of their own sinful, selfish, worldly desires and oppose because they want no part of the Truth™. Well, that set off my cult detecor and I decided to start recording his talk in case he said anything else that's taken verbatim from a list of what cults say.

He didn't really say anything else on that subject, but he did close the day out with prayer. In his prayer he prays we all remain obedient and submissive to the organization.

Here's the link to hear it on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHMz4ys4GqY

I don't ever recall hearing that in a prayer before, and coming from a special speaker from Bethel, I found it really creepy.

Has anyone else ever heard a prayer like that? Maybe since I rarely go to any JW related BS these days, things like this jump out at me more now.

Do you think Mormons are a CULT?

by ESTEE in

jw
friends

pardon my asking.

i have a dance friend that invited me to their event at their church.

it is a half hour dance show, then a half hour dance lesson, then general dancing till midnight.. this sounded okay.

JerkhovahsWitless

The user ExmormonFoundation on Youtube has a lot of excellent videos on Mormons. Here is the url for the channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ExmormonFoundation

Also there is a great video (cut into I think around 12 videos) with Steven Hassan from the same user.

This is the first video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az4tE2eLoKc

Who Writes WT Study Articles?

by monkeyman in

jw
friends

ok, i have to admit that i thoroughly enjoyed the wt study yesterday nov 1 about adopting jesus' personality.. it was far from the ho hum studies that focuses on fs.. my question is..............who writes the wt study articles?

this one was definitely written by someone other than the last 50 or so articles.. so is there anyone out there who knows how these articles are submitted.

there is a famous article written back in the late 90's dealing with depression.

bought my first lottery ticket today

by John Doe in

jw
friends

my state now has a lottery, so i decided it was time to buy one.

i paid $2 for a powerball ticket, so now i need to figure out how to spend my winnings.

i've never even looked at lotteries before, but the woman at the counter was nice enough to explain the different ones to me.

JerkhovahsWitless

My state has a state lottery and the Powerball. According to the Mega Millions website, states with Powerball will be getting Mega Millions soon and vise versa.

I bought my first lottery ticket maybe 3 weeks ago. My JW dad has played the lottery for years. Was caught by an elder's wife once, so the elders came over to talk to him. Since then he drives far enough out of town until that he feels comfortable no one will run into him. (I haven't gone to that extreme. I get them right in town).

I hope he never wins... He can't manage money and would end up in millions of debt. He says he'll donate a bunch of it to the WTS (freakin idiot). I guess that'd sooth his conscience for playing it all of these years. Then he says he'd help out brothers and sisters in need... the same idiots that he hides from when he buys the tickets because they'd turn him in. I'd probably be more inclined to use some of the money to run a nation wide Watchtower smear campaign in an attempt to hurt their membership base and finances, but I digress.

I think you are mistaken though... That 66 million dollar Powerball jackpot is mine on Wednesday!

(FYI, beseeching Satan for lottery winnings doesn't seem to work, at least not for me. Even if you bend over your bed, spread your cheeks and offer yourself to him. )

Who has never celebrated Halloween?

by asilentone in

i have never celebrated halloween, i guess it is because i was raised that way..

JerkhovahsWitless

I've never celebrated it. I'm hoping in 1-2 years from now I'll be out of my current situation and able to. Out of all the holidays, Halloween was always the most appealing to me.

I'd probably do a different Halloween theme each year. When I do something fun, like have a party, I usually go all out, so I see myself doing the same with Halloween.

One year I may decorate my house based on vampires, another year a traditional haunted house, a mad scientist theme another year. I'd like to do something disturbingly different, perhaps one year have an Ed Gein theme, (just toss a few Fleshlight inserts in a box, call one mom, add salt and I've got myself a Halloween decoration). I wonder what the neighbors reactions would be the year I draw Satanic symbols all over the outside of my home with fake blood and blast Slayer from my open windows... It'd keep the Witlesses away for sure.
