  The look in the eyes

  last week we enjoyed a thread where many discussed the pros and cons of dubdom and comments have been made that exjws can be overtaken with negativity, and that this board displays far too much malice towards the r&f.

  a view is held that the r&f are really nice people and they are innocent of sins committed by the borg.

  the argument goes that individuals, whether on the gb or publishers in a local congregation, are all victims of some organisational spirit.

  I was at a gas station the other day, paid for my stuff, turned around to leave and there stood

  one of the good ole elders of my old cong. Coffee in one hand.. trying to slip can of chew into

  pocket, confidentialy.. with the other.... Was working fine, untill the inevitable happened.. He struck a conver

  sation.. So natuarally, I lost the coffee, and the can of chew went sailing across the floor, towards

  downtown. I started thinking.. What the hell am I doing, hiding this crap.. I don't answer to these freaks any-

  more! It was just a natural reflex, I guess from years of being paranoid about being caught by our loving

  brothers, sisters and elders, for living life our own way!!

  2. experiences

  one of my biggest pet peeves of being a witness was when the overseer would come visit, and everyone was sooo nice, sweet to everyone, no clicks, they'd arrive early, stay after & talk, everyone would raise their hands, give "heartfelt" answers, looked nice, sang loud, just the model congregation.

  yet, when the overseer wasnt there, people would come late, leave early, not be nice to everyone, blah blah.

  i guess to me- if they knew what they "should" be doing, why not do it all the time?

  Story: Sound Dept. (at Assembly)

  by Jim_TX in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a jw - many moons ago, i hung around the 'sound department' at assemblies.. they finally put me to work - and let me do things like string wire for speakers, install speakers, etc.. i eventually learned how to adjust the amplifiers for proper volume, too.. good experience and training, that i don't use to this day.. anyway - i also was allowed to adjust the microphones for the 'speaker' who would be giving the next talk.. this usually involved following the feller out to the podium, and raising, or lowering the microphone to the proper height fer picking up the words from the fellers' mouth.. some required very little adjustment, whilst others required major raising - or lowering.. this one time, i recall going out there, and they had used a new microphone stand - one that had a ring, or collar arrangement that you just squeezed, or rotated and lifted, to move the microphone up or down, as opposed to the older type that required one to unscrew a locking collar, and then raise or lower the microphone.. i had not tested this previously - and only seen others work it, but it looked easy enough.. so, i follow this 'big-wig' out there, stand there, grab the upper section of the microphone stand with one hand, and then with the other i am attempting to <grunt> <grunt> get it... to ... release.. it wouldn't budge!!!

  i was there, for what seemed like an eternity, trying to work this thing, then finally reached up and adjusted the horizontal arm - in a vain attempt to adjust the mic (it also refused to cooperate, and i think i only adjusted the microphone a total of 1/8").. the 'big-wig' speaker musta noticed my total and complete embarrassment (i usually turned beet-red in the face), and nodded that it was adjusted properly - so he could git on with his part.. i skeedadled off that stage - and made a mental note to figure out how to adjust that new type of microphone stand - later..

  sheesh!!!

  When our Hall switched from the corded microphones, to those wireless ones, on a stick.. They must have installed the wrong type of antennae, or did'nt hook it up correctly.. But if the mic was in use for someone answering, it would pick up cell phone, CB, and the city's two way radio conversations.. There was nothing that made me laugh more, than when Sister goody 2 shoes, was giving an obviously 3 day prepared, know it all answer to the watchtower study.. and to have a foul mouthed trucker drive by, talking on his CB!!!!!!!!

  "Against our will...."

  by Dia in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we who were 'raised in it' and had no choice about becoming part of this goofy religion, let's discuss our experiences collectively.. personally, i always feel that it was like having parents who were nazi's or members of the kkk.

  almost no one can possibly understand what you've been through.

  it was so radical.. and so harmful.

  As a child, one of the most devastating occurences, was when my parents deliberately instilled in my head, when I was 4 years old.. that there was no Santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc. This probably sounds petty, to most adults.. but as a child, it was crushing.. It ruins a childhood!! I can remember exactly where we were on the hwy. when they started this subject.. I have never forgotten, and that has been 23 years ago.. A parent (non-cult) generally insists on their children beleiving in this tradition for as long as they can get them to beleive in it. Alot of parents, even cry and get upset, when their 11 or 12 year old child, starts having doubts about the actuality of Santa. It's a child hood dream, that people should cherish, as long as these children can beleive!!!!! And my parents extinguished my dream, intentionally like a cigarette butt.

  Tell me what you did on the doors?

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  me and my pioneer partner used to play a game while going door to door (we were obviously bored).

  in our rural territory, we had a lot of time between doors to make things up, so various games evolved.

  just about the naughtiest was to give your partner a word which they had to use at all costs in their presentation.. this started out as 'kingdom' and 'jesus' but soon became 'tractor', 'dog' and then even 'honda 250' and so on.

  I didnt do this, but I was at the door, when my mother made a real ass out of herself.. The householder answered the door, and was a hefty size woman... after making her sales pitch, and placed 2 magazines.. told the woman "you look like your ready to bust any day!!! have you and your husband decided on a name??" Much to her horror.. the woman said.." I don't have a husband, AND I am NOT pregnant!!! I wanted to die!!!!! I never seen my ma so embarrased before!!!!! You should have seen her try to wiggle out of that one!!!

  The first time I saw my wife pray in front of me for a meal (before I was baptized) she unfolded her napkin and put it on her head. I laughed so hard, and asked her what she was doing. I still thought she was joking until I looked it up for myself.

  That happened to me too... I thought my mom had lost her mind!!!!
