  Every time I see a video like this now, I ask myself what the actors in it will think of it in 10 or 20 years.

  This one especially.

  Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."

  thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.

  no babylon the great.

  give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

  You know what's funny? I can think of a lot of things that have "pagan origins" or "nationalistic origins". Seriously, they've done a lot.

  I can't think of anything that really has JW origins.... Can you?

  With that voice he could make a lot of money as a gay phone sex operator, though.
  

  I'll stick with Dr. Shaym if I want a sexy voice.

  had our midweek meeting last night.

  they had a resolution to send an extra (i wanna say $1100 but i only remember it was at least $1000) per month to forward the kingdom preaching work etc.. you know how they work in the kh...no one votes against anything.

  i abstained as i almost have always done.

  I also know a JW that has a auto repair shop. He has had to fix more then one pioneer or single sisters car for free because they didn't have any money to pay for the needed repairs. Another JW family had him repair thier car but when it came time to pay they delayed because they had spent the money to send the wife to Hawaii so she could be at the regional convention with her family. They finally paid but it took awhile.
  

  Ah, the covetous, freeloading JW economy. Giving a freebie would work if the group is overall well educated and employed. Having a reputation for giving freebies to a group of underemployed and undereducated leeches who've come to expect it will put you in bankruptcy.

  Also see: Religious discrimination.

  This convention had the weirdest speakers ever! It caused me to question if it was the real thing at first...
  

  I couldn't finish it. Every single part that I saw was so bizarre that I didn't bother with the rest. Very Orwellian, indeed.

  My best friends in the world ate it all up and called it the best one yet. That was painful.

  "Well, Brother Jose, you seem to have gotten those gestures down pat. Um... You might notice that half of those in attendance took their kids out to the back, because you were scaring them. You're creepy, Brother Jose. You're just, just so creepy. Maybe dial it down a little, or dress in black and take up a new name, because you're perfect Church of Satan material. Thanks. Onto our next speaker..."

  You know it's time to give up the JW religion when your route call tells you to

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lasting memory of the latter period of time in the organisation:.

  i had a route call with the magazines whom i'd called on for a number of years.

  eventually when i become a parent i became consumed with negativity, doubt (blood issue) & depression.

  If you deny yourself for so long, you are in for a psychological crack, a nervous breakdown.

  If you love science, how long can you sit there while a brother at the hall comments that evolution is a false teaching? That he doesn't know where all those dinosaur bones came from?

  If you love art and beauty and expression, how long can you sit there without expressing yourself? You think nudes and violence and bad language are wrong? At least they're honest.

  If you love someone you're told you can't love, what can you do about it?

  If you're told to put off everything and keep your head in the future, how can you ever be present here and now?

  If your psyche is a piece of embroidery, and everything you deny is on the underside (your Shadow in Jungian psychology), I'd really hate to see the chaotic mess that lies beneath that of a long time Witness.

  Now, to be fair, we do have to deny ourselves. We live in a world of consequences and we have to act appropriately. But a religion that demands you sacrifice so much of yourself is not at all necessary.
