I am amazed at the ignorance............

by Night Owl in

i read with great interest the evil spirits thread, amazed at the ignorance on this forum concerning the occult.. if you do not believe in the spirit world, you are certainly akin to toothless hillbillies.

good for moonshine making, cousin marrying and not much else.. both the usa and the russians continue to pursue the occult, following in the foorsteps of nazi germany.

they are not ignorant people, such as yourselves.. hopefully, you non-believers will slowly breed yourselves out of the population, since you are the ones holding back progress, with your precious "science" which is really bullshit in disguise.. so tell me, what separates you "intellectuals" from those so called ancient ignorants?

I'm SO with you night owl!

I was shocked and amazed at the ignorance on this board when it came to the spirit world. People for the most part have been nice to me on here but a few were absolute smartasses whenever I mentioned spirits or demons. I've (like many MANY people) seen things with my own eyes so I know there are things we cannot see. I actually think that being a JW has made alot of people on this board turn against anything that they taught, and I can see why, alot that people have been through with this BS organization has made them bitter and I understand but on the spirit issue, so many are so wrong and I actually think it's sad. Because when you've seen things happen with your own eyes- a chair moved across the room untouched- for instance, then you KNOW that in that regard, the JW's were RIGHT ON. (Even if they are way off on almost everything else)

The boy that visited Heaven

by PSacramento in

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42191453/ns/today-today_people/t/meet-boy-who-says-he-visited-heaven-saw-jesus/#.tuzkdfbcbdc.

what's your idea of heaven ?

a little boy from nebraska thinks he has a good idea because he said he's been there.

PenelopePaige

I believe in a lot of NDE's that I read or hear about, but not this one, I don't believe this boy or his parents for one second. It just screams "money making scam"- In interviews, his father is practically mouthing the words for him as the little boy speaks.

Are there ex-jws who haven't read Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk?

by mutinyinheaven in

every ex-jw who has read my novel of a love story based in the jws is blown away.

there hasn't been one bad review, and it has been reviewed in the boston globe, san francisco chronicle, sf weekly, portland's weekly and daily newspaper and more.

publishers weekly gave it a starred rating and it's optioned for a film through hunting lane, the same producers who brought you blue valentine and half nelson.. it's available all over north america at indie bookstores, barnes & noble and more.. if you buy it off of me directly and don't like it, i will refund upon return of book minus shipping and paypal costs.. www.tonydushane.com.

I'll probably buy your book- I loved "I was a teenage JW" by Nathaniel Merritt. So I may give this one a chance :)

My story in more detail

by freshstart in

so as i stated in my first post, i was born to witness parents.

from early on, my parents were both quite fanatical about the "truth.

" we couldn't even eat lucky charms cereal because they thought it had satanic connections.

PenelopePaige

Wow. You know, I almost became a JW (I was thinking about it very seriously at one time) but after coming to this site and reading these stories, It's just sickening to me. How awful. I thought JW's were saints but I see now that they are just like everyone else in the world; their are good ones and bad ones and horrific ones. :(

So sorry that happened to you.

JW friend forgetting who she was for a minute and being totally cool!

ok, i said i was leaving, but i can't entirely leave- i still check the site from time to time......anyhooo......my jw friend dropped by the other day, i had said i was going to stop taking the magazines, (which i have) and she had called to ask if she could bring them, i said no and came up with some story about work on house being done that day, i was caught off guard and not yet ready to give her the boot, figured i'd break up with her another time.

anyway, i'd said i had people coming by and it wasn't a good day but then she shows up!

says she's in the neighborhood and just wants to drop them off.

I took the magazines and was about to walk her to the door when I notice that Dyan Cannon was on the View (tv on in my l.room right in front of us) so I say, "Look at Dyan Cannon, ,isn't she gorgeous? And I think she's around seventy!" and my JW friend starts to dish! She says, "That woman's face is pulled so tight she looks like a fish- look at those lip injections!" She got all "girlllll lemme tell you...." It was funny. Then somehow she gets on Chaz Bono and I immediatly say, "Oh I love her! I mean him!" Anyway, It was cool to see her slip for a slight second and get a little gossipy. I know it's hard to wear that perfect suit all the time. She really is a nice lady and I will miss seeing her when I break up with her and the mags. :(

My family just found out my grandfather died...6 months ago!

by noni1974 in

yeah thatnks jw step grandmother bitch.

i can't believe that she would not call her step sons and let them know their father had passed away.

my father is a jw also and my little sister sees this woman at assemblies and she didn't bother to call anyone.

PenelopePaige

That sucks! What a bitch!

:( Sorry for your loss

I've mentioned on here plenty of times that I have a stepmother who did this, though she is not a JW, she's isolated my father to the point where no family members know anything about him- and can you believe he allows this?! What a wimp!

Anyway, I google him from time to time to see if he's still living. Sadly, that's the only way I'll ever learn of his death, through the internet. I'm sure the raging bitch will be sure to also put out an obit making sure to NOT mention anyone in his family. Will probably say he had no children. Some people are so hateful! There really had better be a hell because this woman (and your step-grandmother) needs to go there! :)

Go Granny Go!

by sizemik in

fair enough?

or mis-guided vanity?.

great-grandmother gets secret boob job.

PenelopePaige

I was suprised that this was such an issue. In point of fact, if anyone SHOULD be getting a boob job, it's an older woman. Because everything goes south when you get old. These young girls with tits up to their chins look stupid imo, but I saw this woman on t.v. and she looks great!

Still no pant suits, for sisters

by Quarterback in

i was watching the cnn this evening..watched hilliary clinton walk towards some dignataries in a foreign land.

i saw that she was well dressed in a pant suit.

she is the us secretary of state, and what she wore was dignified.

PenelopePaige

I was recently invited to a convention and I actually would have gone except when I asked if it would be okay if I wore dress slacks, the lady said no and I thought, "I am not putting on a dress and heels to sit there all day."

I've stopped my bible study but....

by PenelopePaige in

jw
friends

the lady i studied with asked if it would be okay if she still brought the magazines by.

i said of course because i do love the awake and watchtower.

well, when she came by last week, she gave me the mags and then as we stood around chit-chatting, i realized we were basically still having the study, only we were standing up instead of sitting in the living room.

PenelopePaige

Yeah, those are good Ziddina!

P.s. I actually have a cousin who's a scientologist :0 I should invite him to a study!

a regular caller to our six screens of the watchtower conference call david w. contacted the six screens tele-network on sept. 1, 2011 and reported that allegedly some laid off bethelites were living in tents behind a giant food store in virginia.. david stated their were two well dressed men and a young women around 30 years old temporally living behind the supermarket.. the woman according to david said she was trying to get to florida but did not have the money for the trip.. david said the police arrived and questioned the homeless people and they told the police that they were recently released from the watchtower org in ny.

the police made no charges.. has anyone else heard of this happening?.

david w. will give more details on the dialogue program sat.

PenelopePaige
