Wasn't there another bride/wedding show on Lifetime or TLC, that had an active JW couple? The show was a competition, and when it came time for the JW bride to enter the church where another wedding was being held, she declined because of "her beliefs."

CO Visit this week....

by MaybeSo in

so, we are meeting our new co this week... i wonder if he'll be as glory hungry as the last one and the one before him and the one... well you can get the idea.

too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him .

that makes me wonder...why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity?

The last one we had was a real piece of work, a pompous, arrogant, young dick if there ever was one. Trying to be fair, I attempted to chalk it up to maybe him being young and immature, possibly unsure of himself, maybe even uncomfortable in his own shoes. But reality hit me later on that, nope, the guy is simply a prick. I bought that sucker lunch one time and said to myself that was the last time I'll ever buy any of them anything ever again. Them or their wives. This past District Convention I was dying to catch him somewhere alone so I could into his ear without making a scene, but the oppurtunity never presented itself. At one point I flirted with insulting him in front of his wife just to get a reaction out of him.

The bad thing about guys like him is, they get under others skin, but then goes on with their life completely oblivious of other's feelings towards them. They're not around long enough for negative feedback to get to them. We're in the midst of a Circuit reshuffle, so as far as CO vistis are concerned, we're in limbo, but he's only a few neighborhoods away from me, and I may yet get the oppurtunity to get at him, or at the least snub him. The cherry on top would be to insult him in front of his wife, or even insult his wife and see where his heart is at. I know two wrongs won't make me right, but it will make us even.

2012 Annual Meeting

2012 annual meeting - october 6th 2012.

Theocratic Sedition

An older elder whom I love but irritates the hell out of me goes every year. He absolutely worships the GB and other WT heavyweights. Every year he tells us all about it, and out of respect for him we act like we care. It makes him feel special. Me personally, its just another meeting. I miss enough meetings I'm supposed to attend, so why bother going to one I'm not obligated to attend.

Teenage son's last WT comment. Major sphincter puckering on my part.

by Open mind in

i thought maybe some of us might enjoy something light-hearted to start the week off.

at dinner last night my teenage son reminded me of the last kh meeting he attended with me about a year ago.

he is a big fan of christopher hitchins and self-identifies as an atheist.

Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower SUICIDE . How many JW suicides can you recall?

by Anti-Cult in

how many jw suicides can you recall?.

is it more common than the rest of society?.

i personally know of 5.

Know of a couple. One I went to middle school with and lost touch with her upon entering high school. Last I heard she killed herself after recently being reinstated, which was ironic to me because all the years I knew her she was an exemplary young JW. Something changed during her high school years and her mid early twenties. Family and friends from what I gather never seen it coming.

Another was an elder who was removed. As a teen and a young man I loved him, very cool, very down to earth guy. Always wanting to wrestle and slap-box when he would see me. Type of guy you loved watching the game with, or even working on maitenance issues at the KH. A man's man. Behind closed doors though, not someone you could respect. It didn't surprise me that much when he killed himself.

Another young man I knew, died in an accident, but behind the scenes more than a few people have questioned that. I've never expressed it to anyone that I share those sentiments as there's really no proof, and really what good would it do anyway. Very smart young man, to the point of not fitting in with other JWs, or nonJWs. When he died, it both surprised me, and yet it didn't surprise me if that makes any sense.

Know a handful of JWs that have either attempted suicide, or mentioned that they're suicidal as well.

Is the midweek meeting the new bookstudy in regards to attendance?

we had our circuit assembly last weekend and this was one of the needs of the circuit.

one of the main points was mid week meeting attendance.

apparently the attendance is very low.

As for the TMS, the demonstrations always seemed hopelessly optimistic. Why is every "householder" so co-operative, so willing to start a study, etc, etc. Just once I wish they'd injected a little realism, and had them tell the dub to "go forth, increase and multiply" (or words to that effect).

Exactly!!!!!!!!!! Hopelessly optimistic, unrealistic, naive, etc.!!!
