  What JWs did you know that were fanatical freaks?

  by jemba in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just mentioned in another post about a bro that wouldnt shake hands with anyone because it was of pagan origin.. another bro collected fossils that he would show in the ministry for some stupid creationist reason, everywhere he went he talked about jehovah, jehovah, jehovah, no one wanted to work with him, in the workplace or on field service.

  his own wife would hide somewhere when he started his incidental witnessing at shops or on the street.. dont get me started about some of the fruit loop parents and what they put their kids through in the name of jehovah.. what freaks stand out in your memory as fanatical jws?.

  Ha, ha, love the stopwatch story, the bobble heads and Mamas boy - wouldnt surprise me if they were getting it on! lol

  Theres a Bro and Sis here in their 60's, never married, they are actual siblings and live together. One day I 'got lost' on the way to the bathroom in their house and could only find one room with a bed, one double bed in the whole house? They used to do everything together and hold hands during the prayer. They made me feel nauseous, they were so friggin weird too. Even wore matching tracksuits when they werent out preaching.

  Yes Flipper it sucks that after 15 yrs rid of this woman she still has a negative effect on your life and your daughters, they can do more damage than they realise.

  I live in a small town and I swear the JWs keep our Maccas afloat. I dont go there anymore for coffee they weird me out. You are underdressed when you go to our Maccas if youre not in a suit or dress. lol

  by Libelle in

  this is totally unrelated to anything jw, but it's the only group i'm in online with such a mix of men and women, so i'm asking.

  what's your experience with hand shaking?.

  me, when i meet someone for the first time, i offer to shake their hand.

  There was a Bro in South Australia that wouldnt shake hands with anyone.... apparently he has researched it and found it to be of pagan origin, lol. Bloody drama queen JWs. I was always embarrased to be around them fanatical freaks.

  I Donated to Wikipedia

  2. beliefs

  even though wikipedia isn't perfect, and you still have to vet and research anything you read online, it has proved invaluable to me and many others out there over the last few years since we learned ttatt.

  articles on jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower corporations, as well as cognitive dissonance, et al.

  have made it a great place to help those that want to free their minds, which includes me lol!.

  Other than donations how do they pay their staff? Do they advertise or have any other revenue? This has also prompted me to donate. Thanks Ray.

  When You Were Sitting During The Meetings What Were You Really Thinkng About?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i used to listen to all the stupid comments and wonder if i could sneak out of there and scram!

  even after i resigned as an elder, i went for a while and eventually began missing more and more meetings.

  but while i was there, i'd listen to comments, chuckle to myself how dumb it all was and then go home with the knowledge that my days were numbered there..

  WMF yeah gluttony is bad, looks like youre on the wrong post dude. lol

  Its amazing that leaving out this common yet potentially toxic product has such wonderful results for so many people.

  If I was still in the mind fog depression from being in the org I never would have made this discovery.

  Apparently 40% of people have some sensitivity to gluten.

  My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5

  by Simon in

  my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".

  i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.

  it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

  Thankyou Simon for sharing your exciting story of moving to another country.

  I really love this site and it has helped me like no therapy could.

  Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for all you have done to keep JWD up and running.
