*snicker* I didn't know that behavior was limited to only "non" Witnesses. I know several JW relatives and other JW's who just can't stop getting disfellowshipped/publicly reproved/disassociated enough times for fornicatin'.

he is sacrificing in order to live up to it.

Not sacrificing TOO much, apparently. If a new, male "Bible Study" or any JW came around any of the KH's in MY area wearing the hairstyles and makeup that he does, regardless of the standard-issue suit and tie, he'd quickly be set straight as to the "proper" appearance of a "True Christian". A "regular" dude would have to buzz that shit down to a tight fade and lose the eyeliner real quick.

Total cheap shot.

Cheap shot or no, I'll continue to "sneer" at him, the Williams sisters, and all the other "famous ones" who have the luxury of professing to be JW's while doing whatever the hell they want to do.

.....and how many "publications" have admonished Jehovah's "True Christians" from wearing styles and trends that might "stumble" others or "give a bad witness" to worldly folk? Which articles strongly warned Christians from wearing gender-questionable styles?

Passing the time at JW Assemblies

love_truth, in describing the utter dullness of jw assemblies and conventions, just gave me an interesting idea for a thread.

what were some of the ways you tried to make the hours pass?

some of mine: looking at the interesting refracting patterns the arena floodlights made on my eyeglasses when looking thru them at an angle.looking for people i knew from my congregation and others in the mass of people in the arena.counting the number of people leaving the section to go to the bathroompractice writing people's names in elvish scripthaving a conversation with friends a row behind me by passing notes back and forthseeing how many pages of my bible stick together when i slam a wad of gum in between its pages.. what else?

I drifted in and out of this zone during the assembly program. Sometimes in my semi coma state I would play a game where i would stare out at the masses and focus on the color yellow--my brain could pick out everyone wearing yellow and the pattern that the yellow people made up all together in the crowd. I would go through all the colors blue, brown, grey--lots of brown, grey and black.

I don't know which is scarier---the fact that I did the exact same things during the sessions, or that the sessions were boring enough to necessitate doing them.....

RE: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....

I'm coming in late on this, but I'm just now seeing a snippet of the rerun, and he states at the end of his spiel, "This world and its wicked system of things will be getting harder," or some such crap.

Did this dance have a name? Did anyone here remember doing it? It's just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm always interested in dances from past decades.

Thanks!

Say Something Only A Jehovah's Witness Would Say

i'll start.

"at least i know god's name is jehovah!

".......any others?

razorMind

".....Well, that's just that particular congregation."

".....I wish you could go to XYZ congregation, they are not like that."

"...Jehovah will be cleaning up that congregation soon, in his due time."

.....I get this excuse from my brother-in-law whenever I point out several glaring incidents demonstrating how un-Christian certain "True Christians" behave, or how certain situations were handled.

hey guys,.

while i was at the meeting at the kingdom hall, (oh so fun!....

) the person giving the sunday talk was talking about paradise and how wonderful it will be.. while trying not to fall asleep it hit me... what happens when the earth fills up with people in paradise?

razorMind

My mother told me this one. That Jehovah created the other planets for witnesses.

I was told this too. And sadly, I believed it. Most of the congregration accepted it as truth.

They kill me when they disparage other cults with their "far-fetched" and "ridiculous" ideas about spending eternity on other planets, spaceships, and aliens.

And JW's are supposedly, uh, NOT a cult? Um, hello Heaven's Gate?

JW cannots........

by Nan in

i couldn't believe this list of cannots that jws have to adhere to!

i already knew about the holidays, blood tranfusions, the pledge, etc.

there's maybe one or two that i would agree are for your own good, but the rest are ridiculous!!

razorMind

JW Cannot #115---Can't put up pictures of celebrities, singers, music groups, etc. on your walls. Nor can you wear clothing with images of aforementioned individuals.

This is considered "idolatry" and "glorifying man instead of Jehovah".
