To be fair, Marilyn Monroe is old enough to be my grandmother as well and she was pretty darn hot. Maybe I'm in the minority because I like a lot of older stuff (love Some Like It Hot).

Do not ever join a religion for a girl. It works out for maybe 0.01% of the people who try.

My last meeting was in November of 2010. I went to a couple funerals in 2012. Went to my sisters baptism last winter.
I was not mentally in anymore. I was an MS regular pioneer. I wasn't getting my hours. I had stopped putting false numbers on the time slip. I told the PO I didn't want to be a pioneer anymore because I couldn't handle it. He refused to just let me stop pioneering. At the start of one meeting he told me he wanted me to meet with him and another elder after the meeting. That whole meeting I sat thinking about it and I decided I was going to take a stand. I was not only going to step down from the regular pioneer service, but I was going to step down as a ministerial servant. I wasn't going to tell them the real reason why but I was going to try to start a fade. Well it pretty much blew up in my face. They prodded me for about an hour. Told them I wasn't going to meetings anymore. It came down to their teachings.
It is nice to not have the weight of the WT on my shoulders. I was getting physically ill as well as depression from the stress of being a JW while being mentally out. I had panic attacks. Still dealing with the issues of being mentally f**ked since birth. Lost a lot of "friends". "Friends" that I've known all my life. It still hurts. Have to remind myself that they deserted me. I didn't desert them. I'm definitely happier since I left though.

Would Elders You Knew Have Ordered Stonings If They Could Have?
by Cold Steel infor those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?
i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.
did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.

blondie, that is what I was thinking. The idea from the OP is if the GB ran the world. If the GB ran the world, that would get rid of mans laws. They could say anything.
Think about it, they are willing to destroy families to keep people mentally trapped. If they were in charge, why wouldn't they try to go back to the OT laws?

JWs who end up in the sleeper car, are on the train to Paradise
by moshe ini read this comment on the memorial page for a 93 yr old jw i knew who died--.
as our district overseer said, 'some of us will be in the passenger car on this train heading into jehovah's new system, and some of us will be in the sleeper car.
he's having the best nap of his life.

Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar
by cedars inmy mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .

Hey if the angels aren't supposed to have genders, why do they have beards?

growing up in the wt culture i learned the proper protocol for clapping.

I always laughed when people would try to get the clapping started during talks.

Yes that's the one. Didn't remember the part about God's law being thrown in there.
