I used to cut, when I was a JW. I'm not blaming it all on being a JW, but I know it didn't help. Does anyone on this baord have/had this problem, or a similar one? I'm just curious how many other JWs have done this.

I must stop playing with the JWs on the independent

by nugget in

i have become seriously addicted and think i may need help.

i keep posting comments on the independent article in response to silly jw comments.

i am surprised by the level of ignorance displayed on the simplest of doctrines and shocked by their passion.

The thought of the meltdowns bring you back.

Does it make you a bad person?

Well, yes and no.

Mostly yes.

But, nevertheless, LOL.

African-American on Governing Body

by Band on the Run in

living in the world for some time, the photographs of the gb with all the very old, geeky, white men seem strange.

america no longer looks like that-even mad men has the gal copywriter.

what is the story behind the black man?

Chemical Emotions

Sam was chosen by God's Holy Spirit to be on the Governing Body.

You need to understand that Holy Spirit was racially prejudiced until late in the 20th Century.

Still that way against women.

Lol SO true.

Things that made you cringe at "the meetings"

by i_drank_the_wine in

jw
friends

i always cringed so hard when a "brother" or "sister" would make some overly heartfelt comment about jehovah-something, usually related to a personal experience of theirs, and get all teared up and/or start crying.. once this fringe dude that's been df'd twice now was giving a talk and kept having these long awkward pauses where he looked like he was real stressed out, then he would start up again, stutter, slip up, and repeat the process until he looked down and went "i, i just can't do this" and walked off the stage and left the hall.. it also made my spchincter pucker when a young person would give some super devotional comment on how much they love big j and whatnot, which would make the congregation all smile in their hearts and wag their heads in approval..
