JW FAMOUS CLICHE SAYINGS

by strymeckirules in

what saying made it all around the country?.

the ones that were passed around, word of mouth.. for example.

"donations basis proves jehovah is behind the work!".

C6H12O6

"We're in the last days."

"Getting baptized is the best decision I've ever made."

"Are you doing enough?"

"What are your spiritual goals?"

"Do not be misled by Satan."

"Put your trust in Jehovah."

"I can't wait for the new system to be here."

"Resist fleshly desires."

"We are no part of the world."

"The world is controlled by Satan."

"We have the Truth."

...and I used to say and believe all that crap

Telephone Hookup if You Can't be Physically Present at the KH

by Band on the Run in

i keep coming upon references dealing with a phone hookup if you must miss a kh meeting.

in my day, if you missed, you missed and celebrated the fact.

what is the procedure for the hookup?

C6H12O6

The hall I went to had telephone hookup.

The telephone hookup phone number is posted on the bulletin board along with the pin number.

You call the number several minutes before the meeting and then enter the pin number (using the phone buttons) when asked.

The number of people on the telephone hookup counts as part of the attendence.

The telephone hookup was meant to be last resort for the homebound, sick, and anybody else who couldn't make to the meeting.

So yeah ... there's pretty much no excuse anymore unless you're lying down unconscious.

JWs react with joy when something bad has happen to inactive or DF'd ones

by Anator in

jw
friends

i've noticed when i was an active dub that some jws act joyful whenever they hear that an inactive jw or a df'd person had something bad happen to them.

some have a glee-ful smile and they give that *look* that says, "we told you so".

have you ever experienced what i'm referring to?

C6H12O6

"He left Jehovah, he got what he deserved."

What an awful thing to say, I can't imagine how the parents would feel if they heard this. Then again I've gotten that line before, and this one too:

"There must be something wrong with you to not want to go back to the Kingdom Hall."

by EndofMysteries in

i just had some weird thoughts.

right now we have the technology, artifical hearts, limbs, etc.

recent news articles i've read about how the technology now on reading thoughts, already people can think of turning on tv, electrical things and it happening with a chip implanted.

C6H12O6

There's the Methuselah Foundation that's working on extending human life.

Weird JW Dreams

by MrFreeze in

i think it's a given that most of us who have left, have had dreams about still being jw's or doing jw related things, even years after we left.

i had one of those last night.

it involved getting a hotel for the next district convention and then it skipped ahead to when i was attending.

C6H12O6

When I was still a JW, I often dreamt about Armageddon or the Great Tribulation but never the Paradise.

JW Dream 1: It was dark outside and there were rising floods and electricity was gone. All the JW's gathered at the Kingdom Hall with their emergency supplies.

JW Dream 2: Small blue meteorites were hitting everyone but JW's.

Now that I'm out, sometimes I have dreams about still being a JW.

Ex-JW Dream 1: I was in my old car pool group and we were going to an Assembly located in a mall. Since I didn't want to go the Assembly, I wandered off and got lost and stranded.

Ex-JW Dream 2: It was after the meeting and I was socializing with my old friends from the hall outside at night.
