so many of you know that me and hubby were having a debate over christmas this year.
i wanted to celebrate and he did not.
he is not an active witness but was raised as one.
good for you!! i was raised a jw and never experienced christmas as a child. now that im out i celebrated christmas for the first time this yr. the kids had a blast and loved their gifts! hey...celebrating xmas is no more pagan than wearing a wedding ring...
its not about the pagan roots from a gazillion years ago, its about family,friends and kids being together and having a good time
out law just reminded me of something i used to hear a lot at bethel.
it was that jehovah has to be with jw's because of all the dumb things that we had to do that do not make any sense because someone with more power then us would tell us we had to do it their way no questions asked, no matter how stupid it might be or seem, and yet the buildings still got built, the magazines still got printed and everything still runs smoothly.
out law posted these and he is spot on all of these sayings were said at bethel, i heard them all myself.
i remember working at a quickbuild with my dad and a friend of the fam who worked in construction. my whole fam has always done construction too so we know what were talking about when it comes to that. needless to say, the "brother" in charge of our crew knew nothing zero zip about building. we were constantly telling the guy what had to be done, how to read the plans etc. after he'd relay what we told him back to us and the others but not without questioning us like idiots and debating everything we did. turns out he was just some idiot ms who had some cleaning contracts and that makes you an authority on anything ! lol! poor lil guy didnt realize that to build a structure it takes more than being spiritual and following orders, you actually have to be able to think.

lol! thats funny! looks like god uses all kinds of people. i bet that it would have been better used if the old guy just dropped it in the contribution box. darn...! an elders son i used to know found money too, like 50 bucks on the sidewalk and instead of just checking around too see whos it was he put it in the box at the following meeting. but not without telling the proper authorities. there was a big experience given at the following meeting by his father in front of the whole congo . they looove to toot their flutes.
so my ex who has gone back to the wts and is being given the tough love and is questioning whether shes makin the right move.
she told me at the last service meeting that there was a resolution passed that stated that all leftover balances in the congregations accounts would be sent to the society to be used where the need is great, to help out with natural disasters etc and that the funds would be sent back to the congregation if they needed it.. has anyone else who is still in or knows active witnesses heard of this new resolution?
apparently its everywhere in canada as far as i was told .. .
poppers: in my whole lifetime of being a witness i never once saw a resolution that was not voted in favor. like it was mentioned before, its a whole "go along with the flock" mentality. ya dont wanna be dubbed as that presumptuous brother or sister.
excuse me so called holy spirit directed governing body; what do you do when you discover that a long term hospital liaison committee elder who gives talks at all1 day assemblies, 2 day assemblies & district assemblies and is quite prominent n the victorian/nsw circuit, is addicted to pornography, particularly under age and bestiality porno?
and oh, if you have print outs of his internet log ins and internet history fully detailing his log ins from his work computer???
and im not talking breach of privacy, im talking his breach of work usage of computers, of which im in charge of the it.
blow his sick cover!! first off, child porn is a federal offense! it is illegal!!
second, who knows, he's probably a pedophile. you may end up having something bigger than you thought. id write a letter to a local newspaper or radiostation after notifying the police. you can be sure that jehovah will not take care of this. the whole "leave it to jah" bs line is getting old and used up. the wts must learn to "take it like a man" so to speak and stop shifting responsibility to jehovah everytime they fuck up with their shite.
i used to ask myself, how come jws never or rarely sin.
how do they manage to obstain from almost everything which is enjoyable all there entire life?.
its imaginable to obstain from all the good stuff for a while, but your whole life????.
sounds like you were just unlucky in getting caught. definition of a jw?? is a hypocrite.

outlaw! dude ur a hoot! lmfao! but so true! i have to say i embarassingly remember when theyd pass financial resolutions raising my hand like a fukin robot. then ud always have those eager to please ass licking brothers whod all raise their hands to second it. so mindless and sheeplike. haha! its actually quite amusing and sad at the same time to see people giving so much of their souls to the machine that is the wts.

the wts tightening the screw? apparently the whole congo raised their hands in accord. what good little sheep.
i thought it would be interesting to discuss the things we believed as jw's, but were kind of embarassed about and didn't tell the public about, since it would make us look ridiculous.......... one thing i can think of is the idea that only jw's will make it through armageddon.
everyone else would be destroyed.
i would never tell anyone that even though we all believed it.
i remember in highschool there was a bunch of girls that wanted to go out with me but i was so hardcore i would always bs my way out of any conversation. i would have to say the one thing id keep hush is the fact that jws only date with the intent of marriage. wtf...??
