  in a certain circuit, all elders are jerks.. 1/2 of all the ministerial servants are also jerks.. 1/2 of all the jerks in that circuit are elders.. there are 40 elders are 46 ministerial servants.. no elder is a ministerial servant.. 1/2 of the number of jerks who are not elders or ministerial servants are pedophiles.. how many pedophiles are there in that circuit?.

  farkel.

  If we understand the nature of pedophiles would automatically categorize such ones as Jerks, then the answer of 8.5 pedophiles in the circuit would be correct.

  Elsewhere asks:

  OK, I'll be the first to ask... why is her little hand purple???

  That's quite normal in newborns. The technical term is acrocyanosis and it is due to the 'immature' nature of the newborn's circulatory system making sure blood and oxygen gets to the vital organs (heart, brain, kidneys, liver) first and foremost. It clears up rapidly with changing position of the limbs and/or gentle movements.

  Dedalus:

  She is absolutely gorgeous!!

  Even though I've worked with new moms and babies for the past 4 years, each and every one of these little creatures is a precious and unique work of beauty. I love my job!!

  You and Mrs. Dedalus are blessed.

  Great Joke to play on a DUB

  by Beans in

  2. humour

  this is something that we do at hockey tournaments as a joke but i was thinking how much fun it would be to play on a jw.what we do is in a restauraunt when were all sitting down someone tells the waitress that it is someones birthday when there gone to the can or sitting at another table.when dinner is done and time for desert a stream of waitresses and waiters come and sing to the surprised person and it`s not even there birthday but play along anyways.. so as you know how much the jw`s like to go out to dinner after the assemblies and halloween,scope out these places plant the info on the waitress and sit back and watch you`ll be on the floor laughing your ass off!!

  !i think the assembly location would be best with a full house of dub`s.

  I'm not DF'd or DA'd, but there have been times when certain DUBs treat me as though I am.

  When it happens (it's pretty obvious, even though they pretend they aren't being obvious), I love walking right up to them and giving them a great big HUG!! I say "HI it's SO GOOD to SEE YOU!! It's been SUCH a LONG time!!"

  Of course, they'll shrink away, shocked.... and when they do that, I say "Oh...... I had NO IDEA you'd been disfellowshipped!! What a shock.... YOU of ALL people!! I'm so sorry!!!"

  Then I turn around and walk away.

  It's priceless!

  Mind Control & Urban Legends

  by freeman in

  2. friends

  witness urban legends.

  you know what they are; we have all heard them before.

  the stories that somehow show the witnesses or their teachings in a good light but always seem to contain elements that would seem preposterous to most people.

  in the 20 years I was in, I never had one experience.

  I have one experience that stands out. I never really talked about it until after leaving the JWs, though. I just didn't want the attention it might have drawn.

  When I was in Grade 6, Mrs. C. was the math teacher for my class. The following year, she was our homeroom teacher. She hated the Witnesses, and made no secret of it. Whenever a JW related issue came up, she made a point of doing her level best to humiliate me in front of the whole class, and while I never shed a tear in her class, there were days that I would go home bawling because of her abuse. If my classmates were observing someone's birthday and I declined to participate, she would dump my desk's contents onto the floor and make me clean it all up. If we were in assembly and had to sing "O Canada!" she would not let me be excused, so I would have to sit quietly as my parents expected, but Mrs. C. would march up behind me and grab the hair at the nape of my neck and pull me to my feet. It was a weekly event, these assemblies, and no matter how I tried to get my parents to help me, they said it was 'Satan testing me' or 'persecution for being one of God's people'.

  After a few months of this weekly torture (she could force me to stand but she could not force me to sing!), a few of my classmates told me that they didn't like what Mrs. C. did to me and they had an idea to make her stop, but they wouldn't tell me what it was. I told them that I didn't want them getting in trouble because of me, and that if what they were planning to do would get them in trouble, then not to do it.

  The Friday morning assembly convened, and when the instruction came to stand for "O Canada!", as usual, I remained seated. I felt the familiar painful yank on the hair at the nape of my neck as Mrs. C. hauled me to my feet and held me there. Then, one by one, my classmates looked over at me and sat down. When the anthem was finished and the Lord's Prayer had been said the teacher dragged me to the Principal's Office and accused me of instigating the protest that my classmates had engineered on my behalf. The Principal asked the teacher what I had done to "make" them sit down during the anthem, and the teacher claimed that my sitting quietly was disruptive to the class and made the rest of the class follow suit. Then the Principal asked for my side of the story. I said how I had instructions from my parents to either be excused from the opening exercises at assembly or to remain quietly seated during the anthem and prayer, and that was the expectation of JW children. I said how I had asked to be excused, but was not given permission by Mrs. C. and that when I tried to sit quietly, she pulled my hair to make me stand up. The Principal looked at the back of my neck and it was red and swollen and there was a patch of hair missing. The Principal asked me to go out of her office and wait in the chairs, that she wanted to talk to Mrs. C. privately.

  Several minutes went by... it seemed like hours in 'kid time'.... and then the teacher left, giving me the dirtiest look she could muster. The Principal took her place for the next two weeks. Turns out Mrs. C. got herself suspended for what she had done to me, and if it hadn't been for the solidarity that my classmates showed on my behalf, the abuse would have continued for several more months until school let out for the summer. Mrs. C. never bothered me again about anything, especially anything that was JW-related.

  i've been invited to go to a study group again, by a sister who i work with, she said she would like to explain some doctrines to me that i might had misunderstood, and would like to get together and talk.

  she also gave me 5 magazines--told me, of the great articles, that i should read.

  yep!!

  Maybe the Circuit Overseer's visit is coming up and they're priming to invite you to the "special talk" or the Memorial.

  Just curious..... elder wart nose sounds like a pretty regular customer at your place of work.... what's up with that?? Has he always been?? or just since you got involved with the JW ex BF??

  The JW sister who works with you sounds like she may be trying to convince you that she's your friend, when all she wants to do is get a feather in her cap for recruiting you. If it were me in your place, I'd politely tell her that I'm not interested in discussing her religion on company time OR personal time. If she persists, then put it in writing, with a copy to your employer. If she does it again, then go straight to the boss and complain about the religious harrassment.

  The other option is to display a copy of Crisis of Conscience on your work station, and say you'll be happy to talk about Jehovah's Witnesses with her if she agrees to study THAT book with YOU.

  Option 3 is to say "Look, I've seen enough of what goes on among JWs to know that I want NOTHING to do with that GOD DAMNED F*CKING CULT, and there's nothing you can say or do to change my mind."

  ok, let's construct a hypothetical situation.. this year i will not be attending the memorial.

  up till now, the elders have left me alone, but not attending the memorial may well trigger a reaction.

  one saturday afternoon the door bell goes.

  I think we're pretty 'fortunate' (ewwwww I so HATE that word now!) in that our dear neighbour across the street is a 6'5" big strong police officer. His phone number is on our speed dial too. The elders don't stand a chance if they decide to pay a visit.

  She may have been a bitch, and refused the blood, but the asshole DID stab her. He should die for the murder, pure and simple.

  I agree that he should pay the consequences for his actions, no question about that.

  I just found it odd that, given her lifestyle, which obviously conflicted with the 'religious convictions of Jehovah's Witnesses', that she would hold so steadfastly to refusing blood so as not to conflict with her 'religious convictions'.
