  How Screwed Up Are You Because You Were A Jehovah's Witness???

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  after reading so many experiences about how being a jw affected a person's life, i wonder how your life has turned out because you were at one time a witness.

  I'm certain my life would be very different if I hadn't been a Witness.

  I would have gone to university. But then I might not have ever met my wonderful husband (second) and be this happy now. *shrugs*

  One thing's for certain. My father would be in jail right now, instead of sitting in the congregation in good standing. My family, at least some of them, would still talk to me.

  I don't think I'm as messed up as I could be, but that's solely because of the support my husband has given me through this. When I was first DF'd, I was scared about dying at Armageddon, blah blah blah. He showed me a few things that I never thought of, and gradually, with his help, I've overcome the programming.

  Do you have a sense of humor?

  by Maverick in

  in the movie 'my blue heaven' steve martin's charactor claims, "everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, even when they don't!

  " do you laugh easily and often?

  i am always looking for new material and have about 150 jokes at my disposal.

  I have a wicked sense of humour. Very, very sarcastic, and quick. Fits right in with my husband's sense of humour. Sometimes, I even leave my Essex boy with the Cockney accent with nothing to say as a comeback.

  I love sarcasm.

  Watchtower lunacy, circa 1950's

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the long and unusual history of the watchtower society there are many doctrines and rules that would make one wonder if the originator of them was high on crack or just escaped from the loony bin.

  why, just by using the "search" feature on your watchtower cd-rom and typing in the most innocuous of words will many times lead to the most outlandish article that your imagination could ever conjure up.

  i just typed in the word "hats" and see what i found...

  i hated it with a passion!

  who enjoyed it??.

  i can possibly imagine someone who's home life was miserable, and it was an excuse to get out of the house.

  I didn't enjoy it. I sometimes enjoyed the car groups, if I went out with my closest friend. She was my mum's age; I called her my second mum. She was so much more understanding than my own mentally unstable, abusive mother. During the summer, when I was pioneering, we went out every Wednesday morning. We worked for 2 hours, then had lunch, and then went to the pool together with her kids, who were a little younger than me. I enjoyed that.

  But the actual door-to-door stuff? Yuck. I hardly ever did RV's; I sucked at them.

  I know what you're feeling. I am the most responsible, reliable member of my family, and I supported my parents financially for years. As soon as I stopped worrying about what they thought and stopped doing what they told me to do, they shunned me. Didn't matter that my dad abused me, he's OK in their eyes. They haven't spoken to me in 2.5 years.

  I think what hamas meant was to try to break up your big posts by making paragraphs. It would be easier to read that way. :)

  It was a combination of things for me. I was going through a divorce from an emotionally abusive husband who raped me, and the elders were trying to convince me to stay with him. My father (an elder) admitted to sexually abusing me, and the elders in his congregation said he could remain an elder even though he'd lied about it for 25+ years. I just completely rebelled at that point. I didn't want anything to do with them after that. I was angry.

  I considered getting reinstated (DF'd for immorality) until I learned the doctrinal/organisational lies.

  So where are all these people she's afraid of losing? Why does she have to ask you for help? Why aren't they helping her?

  He's not the messiah,

  he's a very naughty boy!.

  that's one of my favorite monty python lines.

  Life of Brian is one of my favourite comedies. :) It's the first film my then-fiance showed me that I know I never would have been allowed to watch as a JW.

  My favourite line from the film can't be repeated here. It's in the scene where he tries to convince them he's not the messiah, and when he finally says he is, he tells them, "Now F off!" :)

  So Tell Me, Do You Think You've Got An Attitude?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems some are proud of their attitude ('tude) here.

  whether it be because of being now out of the watchtower or because of feeling they have a new beginning, the 'tude can shine through.

  whites might think that blacks show an attitude while gays might think that the heterosexual world has an attitude toward them.

  Everyone has an attitude. :)

  I generally try to be nice and respectful of others. I don't always succeed. *shrugs* I'm human. :) I can be a real bitch if I want to be.
