Sorry. No offence. I come here because I can't talk to Mrs Punk as she's still stuck in the cult. Probably because her family here and in Jamaica are all 'in the troOOoooOooOOth'.

Reading the threads helps me to understand myself and gives me arguments to support why I left the washTowel Bablyon crap Sozzled-I and Tea!

It validates my anarchy for the UK!

@ CANTLEAVE: In my teens I was certainly an anarchic UK Punk rocker. My Dad was the PO in the congregation so I was shielded from criticism.

Bless him, everyone was scared of him but he REALLY loved his family including my sister who's been disfellowshipped more times than Sinatra made comebacks.

Dad died some years ago but although he was a PO he wasn't the usual zombie witness. He was in the war (WW2) in the British Marines/ SAS.

He taught me the Bible from the KJV rather than the NWT. I really don't know why he stayed in the JW's. I think it was because he thought the restrictions were similar to the SAS and would do us good no matter whether it was the 'trooooOOOoooOoth' or delusional sheisse.

My pioneer Mum stitched zips into the legs of my drainpipe trousers. To this day I don't know why. I was a Sex Pistols fan and loved also loved reggae. (Very typical of the UK youth back then), When 2Tone/mod hit the UK I got a 2tone suit, pork pie hat, borrowd my Dad's 2Tone slim jim tie, a pair of 'Hush puppies' boots and I looked like a pioneer from 1965.

I was a hit with the young sisters in the congregation, they loved a rebel. (I regret not shagging any of them), I ended up marrying a Jamaican lass who shared my reggae Ska love.

Sadly, although she is quite a Jamaican traditionalist and we gel even though I'm a white (In my 50's Punk/Rude Boy/Mod type), Brit (Typical again of Brit culture, mixed race kids all over. Nice), Mrs Punk is even more JW devout since I left 'cold turkey' last year. I was an Elder and resigned! Anarchic tendencies!

Short answer. Yes! I WAS an original UK Punk but am an old fossil now!

John Lydon is my hero!

by punkofnice in

has anyone got plans to go to the 2011 memorial (mock the christ ritual), and take the emblems (cardboard and vinegar), to inflate the 'partakers' stats?.

i realize a jw snooper might be reading this to report back to the gb, so you can pm me if you wish......................

The 'Last days' of the Watchtower Society - any truth in this?

i have heard this said a lot lately.

is it wishful thinking?

6 screens of the wt has this as their website banner but that website is like a tabloid newspaper..

punkofnice

If they start falling they'll say it's Satan persecuting them.

I wonder if they might bring in making the R&F practice 'titheing' (did I spell that right?) although having said that that might backfire.

I think the fall of the watchtower is wishful thinking! I'm wishing it though.....free those who are havig their minds controlled.........

i was a rapidly fading jw when i started but still considered myself a christian for a good few years more.

now i've embraced reason and rejected faith i'm a very happy atheist and enjoy learning more about the fact of evolution.. what about you?.

WOBBLE = Happiness is not in the WT, and never was,

Yes. It was all a grand delusion. Even when I was deluded 'washTowel happines' still felt strangely cold.

At least I can watch science programs with an open mind and without scoffing..............I hear Mrs Punk scoffing and it is a really weird feeling I get when I hear it............she's in a daydream caused by propoganda induced indoctrination.

It is a major change for me to say that now I have 'woken up', I don't understand why Mrs Punk can't. 'Tis a frustrating thing me-thinks!

The WT Headship Principle (tm): Did you ever REALLY buy it?

by Open mind in

i believed that god was the big boss and his first-line supervisor was jesus.. .

everything beyond that got a bit shaky for me throughout my jw life.. .

but this bit, i never bought into for even an instant: the husband is the head of the wife.. .

punkofnice

Mrs Punk has never given a hoot about it and never listened to me anyway. She comes from a family of bossy women (no offense to the female gender).

Headship? Spits on the floor............

Jack Barr Eulogy - May 15th WT

by GOrwell in

jw

folks,.

reading the john/jack/fred barr "info" on page 6, can anyone tell me the difference between this blantant human honoring eulogy and what would be presented at an actual funeral for any tom, dick or harry?

i can't tell the difference.

punkofnice

When it was my Dad's funeral the talk was more an advert for door knocking.

I am sorry to hear of Mr Barr's death and I haven't read the article. Given what I've seen in the past they claim the GB deceased are in Heaven now. (Actually I think it'd be a bit hotter where they go).

Whatever the article is I recon it'll be a self serving load of 'worship and give cash to the GB', propogandists' dream!

I walked out 'cold turkey' less than a year ago.

Since then I have been going to church in secret. (I still do and plan to go on Sunday). I believed I was 'born again'.

Now I don't know what I believe. This has been a saddening blow to me.......it reminds me how the Dubs say: 'you won't be happy if you leave!'

Well, I'm not happy about my belief system going to pot. I'm not happy Mrs Punk and daughter are still staunch R&F and more zealous now than ever they were when I was in.

Apart from that things are much better!
