  like the movie of that title, we also were soldiers.

  we were soldiers serving a religion.

  like the vietnam war soldiers many of us suffered and some of us paid the ultimate price.

  There is no way in hell Lisa and myself could live without Tabasco or Texas Pete. That is why we keep at least 2 bottles of each in emergency reserves.

  What is it with knocking on doors?

  by PierreDelEclin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not to be rude, but why is it you all knock on people's doors?

  don't find that annoying?

  would you like it if satanists or muslims knocked on your door trying to convert you?

  Do the loving elders hate you?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you have the impression that the elders never liked you, and were happy to see you leave, because they simply didn't like your way of thinking?

  maybe if you came back, they would do everything to get you disfellowshipped again.

  Did anybody get The Bell?

  by Nickey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the thocratic school during our tuesday meetings, i dreaded hearing the bell.

  *ding* someone had run over 5 minutes and had to cut their talk short.. this part always disturbed me.

  nevermind the fact that these people worked hard to prepare their talk about something they felt was worthwhile, they have to be humiliated and cut off in front of the whole congregation.

  I got the bell alot when i was a zelous zombie. I do remember getting counsled by the elders for being way under the limit. back when i started to realise how whack the borg was i got unmotivated. i remember one time in particular when i was reading the announcments i went through it so fast that they had to get up there and read it again. and of course they had to use sum of that crappy ass humor "well,bro. mingee i know wher you can get a job reading those disclaimers at the end of advertisements"...(insert everyone laughing in the hall).and i do remember one time for getting counsled for my cell phone ringing during a talk.i would let it ring and ring. then the person(happened to be my worldly g/f at the time) just kept calling. i got sum dirty looks.

  Am I the only one who really didn't enjoy x-mas?

  by willdabeerman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i may sound like a bit of a scrooge here but i really didn't get into x-mas.i honestlly didn't enjoy it.or better yet not enjoy it but i don't get why everyone is so excited over it.don't get me wrong it was cool as hell to see my lil step daughter get all excited over her tons of presents.but i just dont get it.

  you spend many hours and stressful days spending alot of money and you spend all this time setting everything up all for about an hours worth of actual celebrating it.the time ratio makes no sense to me.

  it is cool however to spend a lil extra time with the family.

I don't know if it was just the way I was raised as a jw that makes it unenjoyable or if i really just havent had a chance to fully understand the meaning of it all. One more thing i think is wierd I actually got mad when I recieved gifts.(of course i played it off and acted all surprised).I don't know,maybe I truely am an idiotic moron who dosen't get much pleasure over the whole holiday thing and i just need to snap out of it. But I really didn't enjoy x-mas.(sigh)....Will
