What would it be like? Behind the scenes of one of the world's most odd and secretive religions? Who would get 'kicked off' first? What would be edited and what wouldnt? (( Just joking, in a funny mood today with it being Friday and all)).

The Watchtower and FCC 'Family Guy' Episode

by Joliette in

i dont know if anyone on here is a fan of family guy (on adult swim, awwwwesome!

) but everytime i see the family guy fcc episode when the fcc tried to step in and censor everything, it made me think of the governing body trying to step in and censor everything in everyone's lives.

the guys come in suits to peter and lois house after lois calls the fcc on peter (at first the fcc censors tv then they start to censor 'real life' ex: farts, martial and premartial sex, curse words, etc).

Joliette

Thank you.

Gay JWs - how did you deal with your Kool-Aid drinking relatives?

by bottleofwater in

just wondering.

i'm gonna need that soon.

i'm talking about advice.

@ Bottle: Yeah right are the group of words I was looking for also.

@BroDan: I know for men it must be really tough because I think a man's sexual desire is stronger then a woman's. I've kinda learned to 'block out' my sexual feelings (I used to watch a lot of adult moves @ one point, I've pretty much have cut that ALL OUT). And I havent had sex with a man since 2004. I know People wonder why I dont have children, and the answer is quite simple: I dont have sex with men like that. LOL. Most of my friends (even a lot that I grew up with @ the hall) are single mothers and married with children.

EVERYTHING IS CENSORED. I dont know if anyone could put up a link, but it would be much appreciated since I have dial up and cant upload videos. I know Joliette is such a nerd. Thanks!

Thanks Bro. Dan. How was Hawaii?

Jesus never mentioned anything about homosexuality being wrong, nothing. I find that to be so comforting and refreshing.

Dubs homophobia is so latent and hypocritical its just... crazy...smh.

I have lesbian feelings, but @ this point in my life, I feel like I'm better off being friends with people.

Good question. I'm from Milwaukee, my parents got baptized when I was 9, and I've been going to meetings everysince I was three. My aunties became witnesses in the 60's, 70's and 80's. My relatives are so drunk off the kool-aid that its crazy!

I'm a sister who is a lesbian-in-transition from bisexuality status sort of speak (lol sorry for confusing you but its the truth). Its tough. I always knew I was bisexual my whole life, and I've dated worldy men, lost my virginity to one, but now, I'm even questioning my bisexuality. My parents know about me (my mom caught me in bed with a girl when I was seven, there were (some girls from the hallthat would spend nights over my house, slumber parties that would 'foddle' me), and its kinda an unspoken but opened secret in my family. My witness parents aint having it! My mom wants me to marry a brother. I think that being with a man would be the right thing to do but I still have these lingering feelings for women. I think about women waaaaay more than men, but sometimes I think that being with a man would be the right thing to do. Being raised a dub, I've been conditioned to be believe that my place is on earth(not heaven) and with a man (see all the articles in the watchtower with all the hetrosexual couples hugging eachother) this is what is correct, politically and religiously, etc.)

Well, since I'm NOT dating anyone right now, I guess its okay---for now. I still attend meetings, but until I move away from the current city that I'm in (Milwaukee) its all a big act before the final fade. I'm not baptized, but if I were, I know I'd be disfellowshipped right now, no if and's or but's about it. Its hard cause there are some brothers who like me, I just dont know what to do or say, cause I'm dealing with this whole 'gay' thing. SOMETIMES I'M AFRAID THAT I'M GONNA END UP ALONE. There was a sister that I really liked that got married to a brother last march. Reality slapping me in the face. I know that a lot of people have there feelings and still marry someone of the opposite sex cause thats 'the right and moral thing to do.' I know there are other LGBT witnesses (I know of a gay elder at my old congo who is HIV positive, I know there plenty at bethel) and I wish we were allowed to be more opened, and honest.

I'm apart of the conscience class.

Joliette's mom says: 'Can you imagine how good sex is gonna feel in the new system?' WTF?

by Joliette in

what in the world...i was like, mom, sex feels pretty damn good now.

how much better could it get?.

Joliette

Yeah, I just wouldnt feel comfortable wrestling with a lion, l'm too afraid I'll end up like segfield (I know mispelled) and roy.

My parents always bring up the fact that everybody laughed at noah when he said there was gonna be a flood, and how nobody had ever seen rain. I

remember hearing that as a kid, it used to scare the crap outta me. I used to think, omg, everybody @ my school is so nice, but there gonna die at the

big 'A' cause there not Jehovah's Witnesses.

I guess before there flood, there was mist that came outta the ground?
