  Yes, my family realizes this too. We call it a "sugar high". Or say:

  "No meat, just the same ol' grizzle" with a dash of spice to hide it's flavorless nature.

  MrMonroe, yes! "We speak the truth" who are "in agreement", as with many others on this post.

  Ultimately, Are You Happy That The "Truth" Is Nonexistent?

  unless you're still searching for "the truth", are you happy to know this "truth" is not even out there?.

  Our family is happy to realize that the WT's: "truth" was a lie.

  Because those of us with best intentions could not please some of the men that the WT "appointed."

  When you read the Bible by it self while meditating on God, your bound to cast some of the elders

  into the "bad guy" roles. We quit going to their self-glorifying meetings were loop members perform

  before the CO, to get parts at the assy. Many of their family members were mean. I mean,

  really mean! You could just see it in their faces. you had to be there for a while. Many we're into the

  practice of putting on a show for visitors. Truth? Nope! Not at all. All pretend for some of these folks.

  We feel really bad for the clueless left behind, but if you tell them they have a nervous breakdown.

  It's happened several times. So make sure they have a security blanket before you answer their questions.

  Pentecostal Madness: Panties, Wife swapping, aggression and epylepsy

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  though i have never been a pentecostal, i remember well the frequent stories i heard of this religious movement while going from house-to-house in the past.

  i wonder if you guys heard similar stories.

  one story i heard a few times was about the confession of some males going to pentecostal churches to peek at girls throwing themselves all over the floor in epileptic movements, and some mention the word "panties" being exposed as an attraction to them.

  A) It's clear that what we have today; called organized religion,

  is manipulative/money/power driven.

  B) It's nothing like the worship that JC taught the apostles,

  they prayed to God; not prayed upon victims.

  After Bethel dismissed a large number of it's help, they must have warn themselves out printing literature.

  (Oops, I had to back space that word; printing came out looking like pimping! LOL)

  Kinda' like the elders rampage this last decade of stripping down the bro's privileges, allot then left.

  But guess what? The elders started screaming for men to reach out, few did; so they cut out one meeting.

  They said it was for "gas" reasons, but it was their excuses that was full of hot gas!

  PS: I know some of us like this phrase better: "Bethel...it's...pimping literature!"

  The atmosphere in this religion/corporation has changed a lot since my family started!

  From the 60's through the 80's, those who left only exhibited a few of the (a) - (j) traits

  as mentioned above. During the 90's the Cong's situation was sometimes confusing,

  sometimes quiet. But then around the turn of the century, things almost did a 180

  in the middle of the hall! Almost out of no where, it was some of the elders who were

  displaying a lot of the mental examples that's listed above. It got ugly! There was no peace

  in many of the halls in our area, and we heard of similar things throughout the country.

  I hate JW jargon!!! (Alternatives please!)

  by VampireDCLXV in

  2. beliefs

  all of us who have any ties to the jws know that they have their own vernacular, their own slang.

  sure, there are formal titles that we can't really get away from: pioneer, ministerial servant, elder, ______ overseer, governing body, the (watchtower) society, etc.

  but there are plenty of other bits of parlance they use that i can do without.... for example:.

  Thanx v665!

  Heres some of the ways my family deals with JW lingual, and the bad memories associated with it.

  1) Select a different definition from the dictionary. (there's usually 3 - 5 to per word)

  2) Try thinking of good times that include the word, so it can compete with the bad memory.

  3) Read theological books that uses academic words to replace WT's fable language.

  4) Vent! Like right now as we type, that's a form of therapy.

  That sounds pretty bad; since none in our family is familiar with that. But we did see a lot bad behavior

  at different KH's! A lot of; leg showing, low tops, push-up bras, hip swaying, and fast jello bottom strutting

  in summer dresses. Many elders, pioneers, and their young and grown children were often the most brazen.

  Including; flirting with married ones, bending over, drooping down, draping on the counter, scooting out further

  from a dress (by useing the "inocent" slouch technque), cropped hi - leg crossings, hugging, touching, holding,

  whispering sweet words sometimes to one who has more than a 20 years age difference. In some of the halls,

  we almost never saw it; while at others it was "a constant feature" of their meetings! Some places we didn't

  stay for long, as they were over sexed, publicly gross, and had no cognition of holiness in said "place of worship!"

  Black Cong's are the best to be in no matter what face you are. Latino and Asian, can be a little better

  or worse depending on the elder/publisher's view on western culture vs. applied Biblical love.

  Average white Congo's are from mediocre to nightmarish cliques! Yet, the very worst Congo our family

  knows about was Black/White/Latin mix. Things seemed normal and harmonious for three decades,

  with the usual brow beating and markings of many Congo's. That all changed in less than two years,

  when three divorced black bros. increased their attendance there. A black elder, who in the 70's was

  a "Black Panther" vowed to help then overcome immorality, and to gain privileges. Another black elder,

  married to a white; encouraged them to also marry white brides. (My family doesn't have a problem

  with this, but in a minute you'll see what this was about!) While in the posses of white washing these

  "up and coming" men, the Cong. got washed of whites! A lot of things were done to the Caucasians

  resulting in squeezing them out of small duties, and rarelly being invited to "get to gethers". Then two

  white elders left, at least three assisting white families moved away, and half of Latinos quit. The last we've

  heard; the black elders are still having their pool and liquor nights, while the white wives roam the strip malls.
