I wonder what will be done if they find out it was a black person who made the announcement as a joke. Whomever made the announcement...the motives need to be found out. Hopefully, it was just a dumb joke. Even if it was a prank, I feel bad for anybody who is embarrassed or put on the spot for no good reason

Dating a JW :-(
by MIADanny ini have been dating a jw for 2 years now and everything has been going great other than the fact that she is in a cult.
she at first tried to convince me to join but she quickly realized i wasnt believer.
in this age of information i just dont see how so many people can fall victim to this religion.

....as an illustration: my pioneer (somebody who does the 'door-to-door' work for a bazillion hours every month) sibling came over to my home one night. We had some wine. My sibling had more than usual. I thought we had a wonderful time....weeks later, I found out that I was apparently the one to blame for that since my sibling would *never* drink too much with other 'faithful friends'..... Ummmm
So basically, I was blamed because I'm one of Satan's peeps. Basically, you are too at this point. In the future, if they get in trouble for the party you attended, they will blame you & your unbaptized honey.

I'll read this whole thread tomorrow, but I just came across your comment:
FYI: I recently was invited to my first party with some members of her hall. I will tell you that the younger JW crowd I met are much less conservative than I thought they would be...lol They a even had drinking game at their party.
All I can say is: PLEASE REALIZE THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE YOU THINK THEY ARE COOL AND ACCEPTING. ITS THEIR WAY OF GETTING YOU IN.
No joke. They will act "wild" with fellow jw's or potential jw's (especially)....but if you become one of them & act the way they did in front of you in front of them in front of 'worldly' people.... you will be excommunicated. Sound confusing? Yep, it sure is.
I have some very important people still involved in the jw's. my advice is *not* to give up yet. Read some books such as Combatting Cult Mind Control. If nothing else, just read that book....and do not tell her you are doing so. YET.

Captives of a Concept
by Mickey mouse inwhat a fantastic book!
i really enjoyed it.
i loved the way don cameron refused to get bogged down with arguing for an alternative scriptural interpretation to the witnesses.

I'm just going to bring this BTTT. I skimmed through it for the past couple of days, and realized that we actually have the Proclaimers book here at home (a LOT of the references are from that). I plan on going back through the book....its really kickass

Here's the JW answer to it all......
by palmtree67 ini was talking to a jw friend about what it was that ct russell was doing prior to 1914 that made him acceptable to jesus, over everyone else.. i mentioned the pyramids, celebration of "pagan" holidays, stealing of thoughts from other religious people, the "odd" lifestyle of russell, etc.
and i asked, "so, what was it that made ct russell more acceptable to god than anyone else at that time?".
the answer:.

You know, I just finished the book CAPTIVES of a CONCEPT....and I thought the exact same thing today. I was trying to figure out how to ask a jw that, and now I have the answer. UGH!

I really & truly believed that Jehovah was whispering things into their ears with Holy Spirit. I was not in awe...I hated most of them. But I was petrified and felt guilty for that.
I've been 'out' for many years, but I was called into the Kingdom Hall a couple years ago to discuss the matter of my fighting parents. My parents have been bitter and filled with hatred for each other since I was a child, yet my father was recently appointed an elder. Sitting in the back room with 2 elders, my husband, my 2 siblings & their spouses....it was really quite rediculous. I looked at my siblings and saw the 'awe' in their eyes for everything the elders were saying. I did a good job of not making it about me . ..but it was REALLY tough not to tell the elders that they are so full of shit & walk out.
