Remaining seated for the national anthem but its ok to stand for the flag salute. ( however if you are already standing for the national anthem there is no need to sit down during the middle of it). Retarded

Yep at a quickbuild I had to put duct tape over the team logo on my hat.
If you give a sister a ride home from the service meeting she has to sit in the back seat to avoid giving the community anything to wonder about. Like a young single brother is likely to jump the bones of old sister diabetes.
You have to be 15 to handle a microphone.
You must wear a two peice matching suit anytime you are on stage.

To Dissassociate or just Fade into Inactivity ? Your Choice ? Reasons ?
by flipper inthis has been asked before, however i thought it may be good for newer members of the board to read some of our reasons on how we decided to exit the jw cult and why we decided to do it the way we did.. first off - i have been faded for almost 8 years.
essentially i decided to fade into inactivity and not da because i have elderly jw parents who would shun me if i did get dfed or daed myself.
also- i like keeping open the possibilities that some of my many jw relatives may in time start doubting and have questions and reach out to me in my inactive state.

More hypocrisy (surprised?) Oct 1 2011 Public Watchtower
by wannabefree inyou could also hold back from scrutinizing.
your beliefs out of fear that doing so would.

I think that they are trying to make themselves look like less of a cult. Note that this type of advice is never found in the study editions?
The other option is that they are so far gone that just can't see the hypocrisy.

This has the potential to be a BFD.
I don't think I have ever commented on this for fear of outing myself but what the heck.
As an elder I once had to deal with the us legal dept on a molestation case. In talking with the lawyer at the branch, he warned me to never send anything in writing to headquarters but instead only to use the telephone. When I jokingly asked him "why because you can't supeona a conversation?" he chuckled and said, " yes something like that". At that moment I knew these people were crooks, only interested in protecting their assets.
The criminal went to prison and I mentally left the Watchtower prison.

DO NOT have children in this system!!
by What Now? ingrowing up, this is something that my other always told me.
i've had several conversations with older sisters who have said that if they could do things over, they wouldn't have had children.
other couples my own age are horrified at the thought of raising children in "this system".

Having kids in this old system was the best decision we ever made. There is nothing better than watching your kids grow and learn. It is something special to have one of your little ones fall asleep in your lap. Don't get me wrong. It is way harder than I thought it would be, but it is more rewarding also. I look forward to watching my kids grow and start to have families of their own.
I feel tremendous sadness when I see childless couples who have deferred families for the sake of the Kingdom. They will grow old and look back with regret that they can't express openly as long as they are stuck in the organization. If you are thinking about having kids and are stable financially, and emotionally with a great mate, I can't recommend it more.

LOL I didn't mean it to be that creepy. I guess reality is the scariest thing after all. See what happens to my mind after 3 gin and tonics?

@serenity. That is exactly how I feel being trapped on the bus myself. Just like a twilight zone episode.
