For several years I knew a really kind and gentle brother who was a partaker. He was normal. His grandfather, on the other hand, who was also a partaker, had a few screws loose.

Normal Anointed?
by Unbrainwashed publisher1 inhas anyone ever met a professed anointed partaker that was normal?
i mean for a considerable amount of time, not just in audience listening to a talk?
no offense to any professed partakers on here, but the ones i have spent time with have all seemed a little off has that been your experience?.

Has the WT ever apologized for changing their stance on something?
by Left in the Cold ini'm in the middle of reading coc.
it's very eye opening.
but on thinking about how the gb finally changed their stance on allowing civil service instead of prison when a christian was face with military service, it makes me wonder if the wt ever apologizes for any reversal of beliefs it imposes?

Don't they say that in order to be forgiven the offender has to display fruits befitting repentance? That includes apologizing and taking steps to right the wrong. It's a shame they don't follow their own teachings themselves.

When You Were Sitting During The Meetings What Were You Really Thinkng About?
by minimus ini 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..

TS - Right on!
I would be thinking, "OMG, he can squeeze his missionary service in Honduras into every freaking comment he makes."
"Yes, Brother Folksy, we've heard that story at least 50 times."
"She's got 3 inches of gray roots showing. Why doesn't she get it touched up?"
"If that kid doesn't stop kicking the back of my chair I'm going to turn around and stare at his mother."
"If you've got a bad cough stay home for pity's sake!"
"Why does he keep wearing white socks with his suit?"
"The 'ch' sounds like a 'k' you moron!"

Having a humble education, the conversation with her will be limited to JW interests.
Although the above statement is not true, the same could be said of the JW husband.

It's the holidays! You aren't a JW, but are you still a killjoy?
by JimmyPage indidn't you spend enough time sucking the fun out of the holidays?
why do a minority of ex-jws still need to point out self-righteously that the origins of these celebrations are sometimes less than desirable?
yes, we all know that the american indian was not treated well by the white man.

Did your hall ever have the old metal folding chairs with a pad on the seat that created a Whoopee Cushion effect? I hated those things.

How "spriritual" (cultish) was your congregation?
by brokethechain inscaling the level of cult control within the jw organization on a scale of 1-10, i would say bethel life is probably a 10.. i ended up in a downtown big city congregation, and it had a high influx of uber zealous young people from other parts of the country.
and, as controlling as the wt publications are, some elders managed to find ways to add more rules.
a very controlling p.o.

All the congregations I associated with were in New England which is a pretty conservative area to begin with. The general attitude in most of them was very "by the book." I was in one congregation in Boston that was composed of about 35% pioneers and 65% publishers - lots of pressure to pioneer.
