i wore boots to the meeting but dress boots(not to dressy just like you see at the spanish halls when i was growing up even some white bro's older one's do that western style) i tried to get away with it cause of the mexican thing but i got made fun of a couple of times so i stopped . i always felt wierd just being a dub i tried hard to look normal i got wierdos in my jdub family and all their friends too. 1 sister i knew of wouldnt wear red cuz she thought it was the devil's color. a family named the twitty's would travel from hall to hall free loading cuz they all pioneered after 3 years or so they would move on the dad played the piano. some loved them some hated them. my step sisters the middle one stole the younger one's hubby even tho the younger one is beautiful(and i do mean that as a brother i can still know my sis is beautiful. as a kid a stood up to men for her). I really feel insecure about it tho i knew stranger people then me but always being an outsider i felt like the wierdo and really just longed to be normal. i did rebel from the dub life in teens and when i came back felt more like the wierdo with them. funny out of the dub life i well balanced and it doesnt bother me at all .

The strangest looking (and acting) nut jobs you have ever seen at the KH!
by new boy inthere are so many after after 52 years in the "borg".. my top two would have to be at my last hall tigard oregon.. one lady slept in her pickup truck with 30 parakeets, sometimes in the kh parking lot.
people tried to help her with accommodations but she like the truck.
she really dressed up for the meetings......feather boa's, big hats, looked like may west from the 30's.

cool thanks band ! One added observation is when i had doubts or felt unhappy about being a jw my jw side of the family tried to say i was bipolar and actually succeeded in spreading that rumor. Btw i have nothing against that disorder or anyone suffering from it. One of my brothers has has that diagnosis with borderline schizo something or other. It doesnt mean schizophrenia as the name would suggest. i looked it up before there are several diagnosis with similar sounding names i just forgot the exact name of his, but needless to say when balanced out he functions well and its not something he chose and he really manages himself well now a days.(he spent many years undiagnosed and it was very hard on him he was very irratable and angry and emotional) any diagnoses like these is not the fault of the patient and doesnt preclude deviousness but can hamper perception of reality and what have you basically i'm trying to say i have deep respect for anyone with these disorders.it just sucks the cult diminishes ones feelings by mislabeling people and in the same stroke insulting people innocently suffering by using their condition as an insult. capisce?

told the teachers at my sons schools we are no longer jws he can celebrate whatever he wants and even tho his grandmas help out by picking him up they have no say in what he can celebrate they had snuck in before christmas and told the teacher he wasnt to celebrate it. Needless to say i was furious i took him to school told them straight up what i already said. Then called the grandmas not to do that again specifically and i told them clearly i don't believe in this religion i am no longer a witness david can and will celebrate what we decide on as a family( me and my son)i still believ in god and the bible but not jw interpretations of it. She cried and said study the bible teach book and i wont tell anybody either way i ll cover for you just study that book. NO way

Natural affection vs. Love --- Did the WTS get it wrong?
by journey-on inthe wt org.
is leading their flock away from the truth rather than toward it, imo.
the wts is stealing that from them.. what jw's do to their family members who leave the org is not natural.

and i might add if you were to point this out to them, they would close their eyes.They refuse to think anything they do is wrong they are right we are wrong even if we are right.

ya my point if i walked down the street and started telling people angels or god speaks to me i mean directly to me i can hear his voice. how fast would it take to get me commited or put in a psyche ward. really! but we actually or our family or the cult believes this about the gb or ff or jfr wow!

and really they throw sayings at you like he's an apostate. well they take for granted that people should speak watchtower ease. the interviewer should've said, what's an apostate? Watchtower slogans is true. I watch a clip once that how do i say. It called some phrases conversation ending cliche's(no accent mark on my key board) . one commenter said she did well but really she didnt allow a rebuttal they are only programmed for one sided conversations. really allowing someone a rebuttal is not debating.I think i noticed as she read the wind getting knocked out of her sails.As a witness I had experienced this also.I had my contrived argument set up and prepared had the trinity brochure ready and my cousin pounded me with scripture after scripture. i thought the scriptures i was using would back me but as i read i gave him ammo. whats the word/s cognative dissonence. hope i espelled it right. thats my take

Reason for new study editions and the topics within.
by hotiwitabody234 ini might be rambling on.... i attended the meeting tonight.
i'm not sure how it is in other halls.
there are about 120 publishers in our hall, in the midwest.

As i read this topic I imagine all the r&f sitting in a meeting or CA or DA clapping about this sort of thing being read or included in a talk. And then i remember that line from revenge of the sith.Where padme says something like "so this is how democracy ends with resounding applause.(only add freedom in place of democracy)Although they havent had that for years but everytimee you turn around they take more freedoms away. i once called it theocratic socialism but i should have called it theocratic communism" and it really is from beginning to end.
