  btw, the 'history' part of this is just based on the Witness Yearbook of 83. The sociological stuff is more interesting. jayne

  'Worldly' is still pretty bad! And don't think about joining any of those 'Babylon the Great' religions.

  so i'm to the point where i don't care.

  yet i will care about my education, that comes first before the following.

  i go for a lot of girls, i party, i drink, screw whenever the right moment arises, i make good moments happen.

  I've been a fool, to sit here and drool
  
  while you run around with that other tool
  

  LMAO!

  EF, you've inspired me to share one of my many BAD poems re unrequited love:

  The light settles on your face

  Your calm measured voice

  Speaks rationally, a joke.

  I laugh, and so does she.

  I laughed first.

  Witnesses and their "specialized knowledge"

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses believe they have special knowledge of an entire realm of which most humans are utterly ignorant.

  angelic battles are being waged all around as universal court cases proceed.

  all of this is happening, they believe, totally unnoticed by everyone else, except perhaps apostates and demons, who see it but for some reason remain defiant in the face of their approaching doom.. it can be a giddy feeling to believe you know what no one else knows, especially when they mock your beliefs as nonsense.

  I second everything! It is embarrassing what I used to believe eg dinosaurs were killed in the flood?!!! C'mon! Religious history is also a huge one - we just had disdain for other religions, & no knowledge of church history, even (or especially) early Christian history - what an eye opener! And most people are NICE - wow, what a surprise!

  by Mary in

  to start my day with: as i was walking down the street towards hell the assembly, i went to cross halfway across the road when a cheese and cracker brother told me that i should "cross at the light so that others can see that jehovah's people are law abiding citizens.

  stick my lapel badge up his ass sideways make a good impression so i waited until he was distracted by other jaywalkers and then dashed across the road complied with his suggestion.

  once in the building i managed to find a seat next to a guy who looked remarkably like fat bastard was a bit on the plump side.

  Any "Miraculous" experience happen to you like the ones said at Conventions

  by soundbox_guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had to sit through those experiences at the convention, i was wondering, did any of you used to be one of those people on stage giving an experience about how something miraculously happened like getting the exact amount of money you needed to pay your rent on the day it was due?

  i always hear the stories, but can anybody actually tell me something like this has happened to them when they were a good little witness?

  and if it has, did these sort of "events" stop taking place after you left?
