I binge watched your channel. Have you ever laughed so much and so hard you started coughing up mucus? That was me. Loved all your videos but my favorite was the Honest May 2015 Broadcast. Your Lett imitation is dead on. Love your sense of humor--I'll definitely watch if you make any more.

I cannot be disliked

by Late Bloomer in

i was reading the thread "problem with likes/dislikes" and i don't understand the issue.

if you don't want your posts disliked, all you do go to your profile and uncheck the box next to the option that says "allow my posts to be rated.

" unfortunately this removes the options to have your posts liked as well but it's fair when you think about it.

Please see Simon's comments in the thread I referenced. The counts are temporary and go away when you refresh the screen.

Maybe some of you board veterans haven't checked your profile in awhile but I did this when I first registered and haven't had one dislike. I am undislikeable, to coin a new term. Try to dislike me and you'll see what I'm taking about.

JW Vs. Mormon program

by pixel in

i will like people on this forum and lurkers to see the big different between jws and other religion.

following you will see the program from the upcoming distric/regional 2016 convention.

look at the topics that are going to be discussed.

Late Bloomer

Some of those speakers appear to be penis impaired. Why are they directly addressing an audience by themselves? And there's no handkerchief, McDonald's napkin or diaper on their heads. Blasphemous!

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program

by thedepressedsoul in

wow this is interesting!

i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

Late Bloomer

I love that the shunning talk is immediately followed by a talk on being forgiving.

JW's Funerals, Forget About The Person! Let's Preach.

by new boy in

jw
friends

god forbid you would talk about the dead person at his funeral.

so what do most people get after living 70-80 years?.

a 5-10 minutes eulogy.

Late Bloomer

I never knew how weird this was as we never attended the funerals of non-JW relatives because they were usually held in a church. We didn't go to non-JW weddings for the same reason. Any activities held in a church were off limits, even if the activity was not religiously themed. I've still never been to a "worldly" funeral. I can only guess what goes on by what I've seen in movies and tv.

JW Expressions We Hate

by Socrateswannabe in

jw
friends

i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

" who talks like that?

they must be relics of the fred franz era.

Late Bloomer

I hate the phrase "brings out" that some Jdubs would say when giving comments.

"As the paragraph brings out..."

"As the scripture brings out..."

"As Bro/Sis Jones brought out..."

I get what they're trying to say, but they're trying too hard to sound intelligent.

How do I handle this situation?

by BarelyThere in

jw
friends

hey everyone.

i'm sorry that this isn't a very thought provoking post but i could really use some advice on how to handle this.

there isn't anyone else in my life i can ask right now because, being dfed, all of my friends are "worldly" and don't know how witnesses function.

Late Bloomer

I'd keep my mouth shut and keep watching my email for more messages. The messages may get nastier and I'd want to know what's being gossiped about me. I don't care if some people think it's spying. If it's about ME and coming into MY email it's MY business. And like Crazyguy said above, they may end up working in your favor should you have difficulty with your family in the future.

Alan Rickman's Passing

by TipsyMangoTea in

alan rickman, best known to my generation as prof. severus snape from the harry potter film franchise, has passed away due to cancer at the age of 69.. growing up with a witness mother, anything related to science fiction and fantasy was looked down upon, so, naturally, i was a rebel rebel (oh david bowie...).. just wanted to let any potterheads know the news and that even if you feel like you'll never be free of the deadly watchtower, you're not alone and there's hope.. always..

Late Bloomer

I've never seen Harry Potter, but loved him in Sense and Sensibility and Galaxy Quest. Amazing actor, and that voice...his voice was hypnotic, I could watch that scene where he reads to Kate Winslet all day. Such a tragic loss.
