  What if caffeine was banned for JWs?

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a post about caffeine and coffee in the "what if the wts banned alcohol" thread jogged my memory.... back in the 70s sometime (i can't remember if it was pre-75 or post-75) a rumor started circulating around our area that at the next convention the wts was going to add caffeine and caffeine products (coffee, coke, etc) to the list of banned substances (tobacco, blood).

  of course, it never happened, but for a couple of months the rumors were hot and heavy.

  the rumors were easily believed by a lot of the dubs because of the "up" effects caffeine can give you and besides, the mormons banned it, there had to be a reason.

  What Bothers You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  for me, i think it's their hypocrisy.

  they lead (the vast majority) a double life.

  and ultimately they look down on anyone not a jw yet they won't even wn up to it.

  About half the DF's go back? Really?

  by AuldSoul in

  j.r. brown said about half the df's go back.

  i know some who went back and promptly faded, some who went back and were "bt" jws (barely there), a few who went back and quickly got df'd again usually before they even got privileges back.. but the one that takes the cake (in my opinion) is the former po of my parent's congregation who had been giving dc parts for years getting disfellowshipped a couple of months after giving the rousing talk, "abhor what is wicked, cling to what is good.

  " only after his reinstatement did i discover that was his third df.

  It may be true that 50 percent of j-dubs 'return to their vomit' but I think most do so with the intention of fading away while regaining the 'freedom' to see their family and friends again.

  I did that and after I was re-instated I just went to the memorial and poof, I became an instant fader, it was only to keep some friends, and make the wife happy, but I never go to those meetings and field service anymore. I celebrate parties at work, birthdays etc... but without letting the nosy elders know, and the wife doesn't squeel on me

  How did you feel the first few meetings you missed?

  by Mysterious in

  2. friends

  for those of you that regularly went and never stayed home sick, etc.

  how did it feel when you first started staying home from meetings?

  was it weird watching shows on tv you always missed, or not having to worry about rushing dinner to make it on time.

  How many of you still have friends in the org?

  2. experiences

  a good friend of mine moved away 10 years ago.

  needless to say, we lost touch over the years, but our family always spoke of them warmly and with with great affection.. last week, their daughter looked my son up on my-space and we reconnected.

  they've left the organization, basically got fed up with the hypocrasy of the membership.

  thought it might be good to confess the things we did knowingly while in the borg.

  i'll go first with a taster: i once used a contribution from the public that i got from 'placing' a magazine, and used it to fund buying another magazine (top shelf) .

  So if you go out with a brother in field service it means you're gay because you could be tempted to have homosexual acts with him, it could go on for ever... I've seen kindergarden kids more intelligent then that
