For fun: What should JW stand for?

by dbq407 in

judged worthless was one i thought of today.

.

because anyone that isn't giving 100% all the time is judged by other witnesses as worthless..

making memorial bread parties

i though i'd heard and seen it all.

i guess i was mistaken.

i saw from various social media the the witnesses are holding parties to make memorial bread.

I grew up witness and now think it's so sad that at the big witness event of the year, the most exciting part was passing a plate and goblet for a couple seconds and figuring out who those guys with beards that you weren't allowed to talk to who only showed up at the memorial were.

It is really all so pathetic.

The memorial beauty pageant

by BlackWolf in

since the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!

the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.

in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.

This guy took that 'pants on the ground' thing seriously!!

And yes, looks are the only things sisters have got. I've said it before, but when I wear stuff to church that I used to wear to the KH, I feel like I'm making a spectacle of myself. Now I'm allowed to have a mind and express it, I don't have to flaunt myself. It's weird how that happens.

i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.

you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!

what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

FayeDunaway

Thank you so much for the awesome update! I like that you guys can help your little niece and nephew grow up normally and im so glad you were able to help your sister.

Your close friends who also had doubts who were the first to shun you...it's because they're scared. They don't want to lose their families and everything they've ever known. They are still trying to make it work for themselves, and the fact they shared doubts with you makes them feel insecure.

If I was you I would consider adopting a child, but I understand that's not for everyone. And you do have your brothers kids. All fun no work!

LisaRose, that has the ring of truth.

I think we are all here because we skipped our 'medication' for too long.

Sophie gives even more than ice cream money to the WT

I'm still in shock from the visual image of a child being taught to give their coins not to feed hungry children or for housing the homeless...but to give their coin to tall buildings. Buildings!! Oh, and meaningless literature carts everyone tries to avoid.

It's definitely a new low and I think normal people would be horrified to see it. Please share, if you can.

Hello, fairly new, studying for around 7 months, just thought I would introduce myself.

by Conanthebeliever in

hello everyone, i hope you are all ok. .

my name is conan, i am 25, and from the uk.

i have some brain damage, so i apologise in advance if my syntax is off or i go a long way around explaining things.

FayeDunaway

If you believe Christ died for your sins you are definitely a Christian, if don't think the bible should completely be taken literally, you are not a fundamentalist Christian. And that's OK!!

Conan you were so courageous!! I hope you are OK too. It must have hurt a little to bring these truths to your friends and have this confrontation with them. It sounds like it ended much better than it could have, with you offering support to them if they need it and hugs all around. I am very glad your mother went with you, and it would have gotten much uglier. Witnesses are very reticent for outsiders to see any of the ugliness, so she was a very good protection.

In your religious search be very careful to avoid high control groups, this has been a good education for you.

Except each Democrat does well vs. Each Republican on a national scale. As a whole, the country is moving in a progressive direction.

But. As I said before, there is still a threat of a new terrorist attack on American soil. That would be the one thing to push the majority over to the fear mongering Trump. Maybe not the one and only thing, but the guaranteed thing.
