Mary,
Or should I say "Sister Judgemental." I wasnt distracted from Pornia. I was distracted because there were so many women there I had affairs with from connecting with them on that damned Facebook and other social networks sites!!!

Alfred,
Very true. The GB discourages us from doing anything that doesnt directly revolve around the organization. Whats the result? Seven million people with no social conscience or sense of community.

What is the most offensive/idiotic piece of WT literature you've read from the past 20 years (approximately)?
by Chemical Emotions ini think that some of the dumbest were ones that pertained to science- not all of them, but a few, particularly the ones about evolution.
the most offensive (and also dumbest) were the ones about women, and the ones about rape.
those were horrible.

I like this line in the December 15 2010 WT, "If you were thrown into prison, how many kingdom songs would you be able to sing from memory?"
If I was sharing a cell with a violent sodomite, my biggest concern would be that I couldnt remember the words to "Shulamite Maiden."

Intel,
Much thanks.
Mary,
I was actually going to record the insanity as well, but I was drained of all motivation. I was keeping my ears open for that topic but might have missed it. I think I did hear it mentioned briefly in the first talk of Saturday afternoon.

JW nephew graduation party cancelled... your insight is requested
by Alfred ini have a jw nephew in another state who was at very the top of his high school senior class this year.
because of this, my sister (an elder's wife) had planned and sent out invitations to his "graduation party" which would be held at a community center with all the bells and whistles.
i actually bought plane tickets for my wife and i to attend this party immediately after receiving the invitation in the mail.

Typical JW insanity. Punishing a kid for being a normal and human. Makes me sad

Interesting detour my topic strayed to. Anyways.
Alfred- the speaker didnt explain the reasoning, behind anything really. It was more of a "we are awesome and everyone else sucks" talk based solely on the biased, weak examples of how the preaching work, only done by witnesses, is the only way to help humanity . It was quite desperate actually. The supreme importance of the preaching work was very stressed and everything else is in vain. He divided the entire world in two categories- Us and the Clergy. Very indepth.
Mary- Red wine would have been great but the wine stains on my lips wouldve drawn attention to myself. I should've brought vodka.
I know it would've been better to skip it all together but sadly my wife is still in the religion, mostly emotionally, and I did not want to leave her alone to have to explain to her family and hundreds of others why her husband wasnt with her.

Did anyone else enjoy the muddled and vague symposium on the covenants? In the final talk of the first morning the speaker refered to all other religions as the "Clergy." The "Clergy" this and the "Clergy" that and everything is pointless except our preaching work. He actually said that helping the poor, and building hospitals and schools is "worshiping society."
Saturday was a blur as well. After about two minutes of the talk on "leaven" my mind was as numb as my ass, I had to leave. Then there was the family drama. Sweet Jesus it was like a bad Christian sitcom. Who can relate to that shit?
I skipped the Sunday morning but came in time to see the titillating drama about the dangers of Bible time and modern time seductress sluts. Then like last year they ended the whole debacle with a new understanding of bible prophecy, vague enough not be held accountable for it failing like all the others.
I also enjoyed the recurring theme of how everything we do must be centered around the Kingdom. I found it especially desperate this year. What an unbelievably controlling religion. It makes me depressed to see alot of people I love sitting there lapping it all up without even considering questioning a thing. FFFFFF**********######KKKKKK!!!!!!!

WT scars that run deep
by man in black inmy son who is 26 yrs.
old recently confided in my wife and myself that he is having a rough time moving on past the jw mindset.. he was associated with the witnesses for the first 24 years of his life, and he really tried to do the whole witness thing correctly, yet he was and still is a shy person.
now that he has been out for two years, he is having a lot of anger toward people who believe in god.

The best way to help your son is to show you care and be there as a source of emotional release. Even tho it may be unpleasant, just being a non jugdmental ear for him to vent to can help more than you might know.
My parents are still stuck in the religious mind-f--k, but they will not stop me from expressing my disgust and anger for the way i was raised and the warped crap I was exposed to. Even tho we dont agree in the end it still helps.

Hope it comes to my city.
I have family who are mormons. Ive found alot of similiarities to the JW faith. One of the biggest similarities is the glossing over of their early, ridiculous teachings and foundations.
I actually remember when I was a kid, my dad criticizing and judging them for pressuring their kids into doing the mandatory missionary work.
Hmmm....
