I dont mind christmas, but any christmas song earns the car radio a smack! Anything by Mariah Scarey, or with the sound of bells in it......any kind of bell. Hate them.

JWs Social Media and Alcohol
by jw07 ina great part of social media's allure is that it makes some persons less conscious about revealing what interests them.
i've noticed an interesting trend in how jws (that i know) express their use of alcohol.. i have around 600 associates on on facebook, and just over 100 on instagram.
of that amount around 1/3 are jws, but i realise that they make the most posts about alcohol, and have the longest chain of comments on those posts.

In our old cong alcohol was all they lived for. And not just young ones up to 30 odd. Even the po served a glass of wine or two after the book study. Every event there would be alcohol either smuggled in or bought at the venue. Something simple like the cinema turned into a 'drink what you brought ' event.
I personally think that most JWs can not get through normal life without drinking. It would always amaze us that elders and their kids would be drunk at open air concerts, and nothing would be said of it at the next meeting. One elder got so drunk at an open air rendition of Macbeth, he threw an apple at the cast on stage and started to heckle them. Again, at the meeting, nothing was said. He even said the opening prayer. No one batted an eyelid!

Your favourite dog breed ...?
by LoveUniHateExams inin an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.
huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.
this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

What should the WBT$ do to get on track?
by punkofnice init looks as if the gb are blundering around and really showing themselves up for the buffoons they are.
all the stupidity about tight trousers is laughable and if the general public were to see these selfmportant cult leaders blabbing this stuff then the last shred of their credibility would be destroyed.........perhaps.. the wbt$ seem to have dug themselves into a deep pit of no escape with their lies, new light(tm), paedophile protection and all the other nauseating peripherals they have.. we also suspect that the wbt$ have their spies here because they are either predictable or get ideas form forums like this.. so!
are you listening watchtower(r)?

we have a charlotte bethany, eleanor paige and a mia olivia, the first two were easy to chose as charlotte is named after we went to a ballet on the bronte sisters, eleanor is from pride and prejudice and mia is the only name we could agree on after we went to have a 4d scan to see our little boy we were convinced we were having!! After getting a shock that it was a girl in the waiting room was the top 100 girl names so we grabbed the list deleted the ones we didnt like and could only agree on 2 mia and olivia so thats how she got her name. Not very romantic!

Me and wifey really thought life would be crap once we left. Business would go downhil, kids would be ill again, marriage would end etc. All because jayhoorah was not giving us blessings.
Almost superstitious in a way. But in reality, life got better and better and better. As the mind lets go of all the sordid lies of the 'org', you replace them with ways to move forward, to better yourself and your family.
Ironically, we became the people we always said we were in the 'borg', helpful, empathetic, loving. More rounded in a 'human' way.
Dont worry about the kind of person you will end up being. Enjoy the journey. You have been in a mind controlling cult. Therefore you are unique, and you have a unique insight into life that the 'normal' person doesnt have. You can give far more than you may realise.
