  Religious nuttery alerts

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  it seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.

  it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!

  ) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.

  There will always be a new supply of them, but stamping them out helps to keep the amount of disruption down.

  I remember one guy who I think is a non-native speaker of English in the Washington DC area (if I am not mistaken) who used to post tons of stuff on Bible chronology and his predictions for the end times. He would comment on what the Watchtower got right (in his opinion), what Harold Camping got right (again, in his opinion) as well as where they were going astray -- and he would fill in with his own LONG commentaries. His posts would go on and on and on and on. And he just kept popping up. I think he was eventually banned. Ah, the memories.

  REPUTATION and disfellowshipping.....stories

  by problemaddict 2 in

  a friend of mine is getting disfellowshipped.

  someone with a kind heart, and good rep. he knows how i feel, remains my firend, and we have respectful conversation.

  without revealing too much, lets just say the reason he is being disfellowshipped is for family problems.

  In my experience (unless there were rumors to the contrary) any time anyone was disfellowshipped, the assumption was that it was because of sexual "immorality." I was aware of this from a relatively young age because of the Kingdom Hall "chatter." I remember a few times sitting in the general vicinity of a DF'd person at the Hall and feeling extremely dirty, as if their (perceived) sexual "immorality" could rub off on me. I was also really freaked out by any DF'd person in the Hall as I knew they were associated with "wickedness" and I was terrified of Satan using them to get to me, just by being close by in the same hall.

  They do have quite the talent for making themselves look a bit silly sometimes: Sparlock, the ASL "masturbation" video, and now Spanx and tight pants. They can be their own worst enemies. They just can't seem to help it.

  around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

  They absolutely have Plan B: You. Jehovah will move your heart to financially support them in their efforts to serve the one true God through their full-time pioneering efforts.

  back to august of 1988. my brother and i were the ones being marked.

  at the time, my father had clued us in that it was coming and had gotten a recording of it.

  are we not also obliged to act on wrongs being committed by a family member or members?

  Do it! Seriously. And pack something extra so that you have absolutely ridiculous bulge. The thought of someone doing this just tickles me. I don't know why. I can imagine the looks on so many people's faces. My inner 12 year old gay boy is giggling right now.

  Using the "C-Word" With My Wife

  by breakfast of champions in

  months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

  here's my first comment on that thread:.

  i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.
