I know I never wanted people to know I was a JW. It is still embarrassing when people ask me why JW's believe certain things and I have to try to explain it. They'll say "That doesn't make any sense." "Well, duh! Of course it doesn't make sense. Why do you think I'm not one anymore?"

It got to be hard being a JW today!!!!
by jam ini can understand why they think the end is near.. in the old days, one was proud to be a jw (well maybe.
not for you young ones) but for us that came in the 60,s.
and 70,s, we felt no shame in our game.

Sad Discussion Regarding Beards
by turtleturtle inso both my wife and i are awake to ttatt.
we are still active, patiently waiting for the org to implode.
being active, it is evident this is happening as a quickening.. we were having a discussion regarding shaving & beards.

MrFreeze
Just another level of control they can add to your life. I started growing mine because I hated shaving. Instead of shaving every day and buying expensive blades, I trim it with an electric trimmer about once every two weeks. Of course, with the NHL playoffs I'll be growing it out until the Penguins win or are eliminated.

I was a Jehovah's Witness in a different religion
by free2beme ini recently had a very long conversation with my mother, about what jehovah's witnesses teach and believe now.
while i could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion i once called home.
more often then not, i had to come to a extreme conclusion.

Never really thought of it like that but the difference between JW's now and Bible Students back in the early 20th century is kind of astounding. Yet somehow that religion, which apparently had so many things wrong since it's a completely different religion, was personally chosen by Jesus.

Heartwarming JW Facebook Comment
by exwhyzee inthis urban legend/anecdote was on the facebook page of a jw who is a facebook friend of mine.
it's kind of long but tell us what you think....it was all i could do to stop myself from making a snarky comment.
a young couple very much wanted to have a family, but his wife could not conceive, so they decided to adopt a baby.

On my way into work today,,,,,
by Jomavrick ini was listening to some southern radio preacher giving his sermon.
he was talking about the need to sell out to god and not just say that you love god but prove it.
he then said something that made me laugh - he said " a wife doesn't prove that she loves her husband in the parlor, she proves her love for him in the kitchen".. now i find that hilarious for a couple reasons, what do you ladie's and gents think??

If she is a great cook it would be a crime not to have her be the designated cook in the family.

Would you pay $600 to see The Stones?
by littlerockguy ini can't believe the prices of concert tickets these days.
the rolling stones is starting their tour this year in los angeles tonight and some of the floor tickets are as high as $600!!!
they were in little rock back around 2005 or 2006 and the most expensive ticket back then for their show was $300.

Who wants to spend $600 to watch a bunch of geriatrics hobble around the stage? I like the Stones but they are done.

Would you pay $600 for a demonic experience
by NewYork44M inat the very moment i signed oni saw the quote related to demonic experiences next to the $600 question about the stones.. given my desire to increase efficiency i thought it might be good to combine the topics.. i am very dissapointed that i have never had a demonic experience.
the fact that i don't believe in demons may have impacted my lack of experience.
however, i would never spend $600 to seen any group or person - even if they were naked.. so, how about you?.
-
MrFreeze
ravens, I don't think that is demons. I think it is mental imbalance.

David was immoral too... and a murderer. Yet, if someone showed up to one of these gatherings as a representation of David, they wouldn't care.
