  The one oclock meeting

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.

  its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.

  if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.

  Little known fact:

  The young fella looking back at the camera was, shortly thereafter, turned into a pillar of salt.

  Learn To Speak Like A Jehovah's Witness

  for those who were never a jw, here's a fun guide to passing yourself as one:.

  privilege [priv-lij] - a duty nobody would volunteer to do which is assigned to you without your say so.

  such as cleaning the toilets, picking up other brats candy wrappers in the back row and being stuck on locking up duty for the 7th time in a row.. df'd [dee-eff'd] - disfellowshipped.

  pale.emperor-

  I was watching a JW video yesterday posted on here and the speaker said 'secular work', and I was like, 'Only JWs use this term'. And then you created this thread.

  That's true. And most dubs shelled out the money for the Shaklee goods. They were into it.

  Greetings, all!

  I just had a random recall about JWs and what they used to peddle.

  In my area of Pennsylvania (USA), there was a brother who used to be the Shaklee dealer.

  There was also a brother who owned his own landscaping company and sold long distance phone plans. In fact, I remember 3 brothers who sold lond distance plans.

  Did anyone else experience these products or others? Just wondering.

  So, if I accessed ESPN during the meeting and they busted me, I would then have to show repentance? If I were given the password in the future and then accessed NASA's site, would they then pull me in to a judicial committee?

  What a wack-a-doodle religion.

  Did leaving the "Org" ruin scary movies for you?

  by jeanniebeanzz in

  many 'scary' movies base their 'jumps' on a belief in the supernatural, demons etc.

  since i have left that all behind, ther aren't many 'scary' movies that even make me uncomfortable let alone scared.

  lol.

  Hey Jeanniebeanzz.

  Yes! After leaving the JWs, I lost my fear of demons, etc and, effectively, lost my fear in supernatural-type movies.

  With that said, violent movies which can reflect reality keep me on the edge of my seat.

  I never liked any of them, to be honest: Dentler, Conti, Barnett, etc (Pennsylvania).

  They were the most arrogant, pompous and sarcastic people I have ever crossed paths with.
