  Dang! Too many.

  This one newly brother in my hall growing up was a local boxer up until learning the truth. He was almost 40. I was a teen, but he became a mentor. The vicarious "Ain't nuttin in the world but trouble" brother. And he was crazy.

  1) A group of us were walking almost a mile to a town pool. He wore speedos the ENTIRE WAY. And nothing but. Through an urbanized area!

  2) He was reading WT from stage, and used the 'N' word in one of his comments. Then looked at the conductor and said "That's right!"

  3) He got into a few fights at congregation picnics.

  4) I had a few other young ones over at a gathering. He stopped by and brought alcohol for everyone. We didn't accept, but it was crazy. He got offended

  5) Right before I left the hall, he had gotten married. The sister was a pioneer, but her family wasn't in the truth. She had a nephew who was always in and out of jail. He was another crazy one. Her nephew came into the hall one day and asked to speak to the crazy brother. The crazy brother went to the back. They were talking in the corridor. I was an attendant. They started arguing and shoving. Supposedly, the crazy bro was cheating on his wife, and her nephew arrived to confront him. They started to fight. A boxer and jail bird! We kinda had to get out of the way, but then the crazy brother pulled out a gun. The meeting was still going on. The brothers just tackled them both. Cops then arrived and took them away.

  About a year later, he was disfellowshipped.

  grumble cakes - I wouldn't be caught dead in a pic with them...

  finally awake - this is serious. This picture is worth almost 1,000,000,000,281.02 and I can claim the 281.02, until I go food shopping today.

  clarity - Thanks! No one told me I couldn't do it, but I did it in case any haters were thinking I couldn't. Or something.

  if you're part of the world, the world is fond of what is its own - so.....if a worldy person likes you, that means that you are part of the world, hence you are bbbaaadddd...so you better become hateful to that person so they won't like you anymore, then the world will not be fond of you and you may even be persecuted which is the "goal to strive for"

  yes, tiki, but when they praise us for cleaning stadiums, we use that to prove we are only true Christians. If they hate us, good! If they love us, good! Either way, it's valid proof we are the only true Christians....

  ...Even atheists have to admit...

  ...Even Christendom has to admit...

  If the world views this as bad, should not we also?

  It doesn't matter the worlds' view, how does Jehovah feel?

  Capital punishment, are you in favour of it ?

  by smiddy in

  i certainly am , providing their are strong arguments that the perpretrator of the crime is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of the crime he/she is charged with .. i am not religous ,however i do agree with a life for a life principle ,especially if it involves multiple victims.

  somebody killing x amount of people, proven of course , have no right to live.

  of course with murders of one victim their can be many scenarios which the courts of law can adjudicate for whatever an outcome.

  If there is no doubt, and a fair trial was given, YES!

  If murder, rape, any physical or sexual abuse to a child, elderly, and everything in between, or willful negligence caused the death of others, lethal injection won't cut it.

  Lock them in a room cutting off a limb or appendage a week. Drag it out. And feed them scarcely so they survive, but that's all. They should be done within a few month, if that.

  Am I sick? No, but the person will truly suffer and understand what they did was wrong. Insanity or not.

  How often did you entertain the "Traveling Overseers", and did you regret it afterwards?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  i found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.

  our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.

  now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.

  I like pulling them out of the cult persona for a few min and seeing the real person (or as close to it as u can get)... Every dubbie has a real person waiting to be brought out of them.

  The members in the hall I grew up in were too honest *cough(ghetto)* so when the CO would start talking Theocratic, the friends would verbalize their boredness. CO's usually relaxed and we actually ate with the person person, not cult person. Admittedly, I have some enjoyable memories.

  Did you ever shun people when you were a dub? How did it feel?

  by oldlightnewshite in

  okay, i don't know lots of people that were df'd, but of all the times i've encountered df people when i was a dub, they actually blanked me!

  it was always something that i had fixed in my mind that the jws had dead wrong, even when i was an uber dub.

  i remember several times when i used to arrive late at meetings, and i'd make a point of getting eye contact with the poor dub at the back sitting on the naughty step.

  I didn't speak, but I acknowledged them. An elder did talk to me about it, and I said I didn't see how not showing love was supposed to be the Christian way. He said "In Israelite times, they would be stoned to death. Not saying "hi" is loving..."

  ...And I fell for it

  Awww, agnostics are a bunch of lazy non-committal wishy-washy people, who just refuse to put a bit of thought into it! They're the Swiss, the Neville Chamberlains, the non-joiners, the pacifists, the undecided voters of the World who refuse to take sides on anything!!

  I normally enjoy reading your posts, as they present an alternate view on discussions at hand, even though they may be unconventional, for lack of a better word.

  But since you can condescend on a belief different than your own, what have you found to be the TRUTH?

  Jehovah has never steered you wrong

  Suitable marriage mate (suitable? really? is that supposed to be a compliment?)

  Persuade to believe

  From the end of letters: "Our warm Christian greetings", etc.

  Unrighteous riches

  New scrolls (where does it say that in the Bible?!)

  The society points out...

  It's interesting how the society used this word...

  It's interesting the society drew this picture with one leaf instead of two because....

  Second fullfillment of EVERYTHING!

  I don't see how (insert religion here) can actually believe that crap! (this phrase annoys me now; I used to use it also. lol.)

  Where else are we to go? (Which is not even what Peter asked, yo!)

  Korah, Dathan, Abiram ad nasuem

  We like to send our love and greetings to other clapping congregation where this speaker came from

  @ Assemblies: The Governing Body sends their love and greetings.

  Every name they made up for the harlot in revelation: Whore, slut, ho, chickenhead

  That was an excellent article!

  We are planning another convention for next year, Jehovah willing

  those without a hope

  not a quote, but the belief that to truly help people, you have to give them a friggin magazine on otter teeth and shit
