Yes I got bullied at school for being a Jdub but not that many at school knew I was one. It was hard enough being accepted by my peers let alone for them to know I was a Jdub. Like so many other dubs my age, I balanced that fine line between not being a "worldly" person and being accepted by others. Although I don't regret it now for it made me a better person in that I don't need others exceptants to make me feel better about myself.

The cold shunning after re-enstatement. Did you get it?

richierich posted something about how odd witness kids parties were and it reminded me of being reinstated.

i never quite fit when i got back in.

i would sit in the car groups and think...are these people for real?

William Penwell

That was an eye opener and the last straw for me. After I was reinstated some Jdubs treated me differently. I think this was due to my ex telling everyone her side of the story and you know how gossip gets passed around by all the good dubs as they are filling in their time between field service calls.

Why are pigs "unclean" and what does "unclean" mean?

by Elsewhere in

jw
friends

there are several religions that teach that pork is an "unclean" meat and therefore should be avoided.. what, exactly, does "unclean" mean?

when i think of "unclean" i think of something contaminated by dirt or dangerous bacteria.

is there some other "spiritual" substance in pigs that cannot be detected?.

William Penwell

As one other poster pointed out and I have heard from a Muslim that he wouldn't eat pork because a pig doesn't sweat.

Kristi died about 30 mins. ago

by Frannie Banannie in

for those of yall that didn't know, kristi was a 37-yr-old ms patient that i took care of for the last year of her life.

she had a wonderful ribald sense of humor and talked like a sailor at times.

but it was all to cover up the ultra-sweet and tender heart she had.

William Penwell

Sounds like she was a very unique and brave person. I am so sorry for your loss.

I think its sad

by Alexander in

i wouldn't be here wasn't it for a link on google on the moscow ban that led me here.

i am shocked by the hatred many of you display in your posts.

some claim that we break up marriages, yet some of the happiest couples i know are faithfull brothers and sisters.

Just one thing I will say to you and that is nineteen seventy five...... Explain away that one if you were old enough to remember.

long time sister told me yesterday that end would be here within 7 years!!

i went to the meeting yesterday because the out of town speaker and his wife are good friends of my wife and i. after the meeting we got invited to someones house who was feeding the speaker because they know that we are friends and because ive missed lots of meetings in the last two months and my wife and i need a good love bombing!

well during our lunch i was complaining about my having braces at 30 and how stupid i looked with them and the 83 year old sisters house we were at told me that i wasted my money on them because the end would be here with 7 years anyway.

i asked her "do you really think so?

William Penwell

A good line I once heard but haven't had to use it on a Jdub... When a dub says the end will be here in 7 years just say, "OK you are so confident in the end coming in 7 years, write me a check payable to myself for $10,000 and post dated it 7 years from now". Then see how strong their faith is that they will actually write a sizable check. If they say no then you can say, "Well you don't even have faith in your own prophecies".

Not going to say too much as most of you said it for me.

Reminds me of a comment that Brian made on Family Guy, "Wasn't this the same loving God that told Abraham to kill his son Issac?"

When the cat's away, Kwin and Talesin will play! Enjoy your convention JWs!

by kwintestal in

i was in the thinking room yesterday morning doing my usual routine, and between grunting and showering my mind was wondering when i came upon what i thought to be a great idea.

this weekend is the weekend for the district convention where all the good little jw's will be attending.

so i thought, if the jw's are at the convention, who's going to be at the kh?

William Penwell

Maybe you guys shouldn't be broadcasting that you are going to do this as there are Dubs that monitor this site.

Well hopefully they won't and your plan goes off a you want it to.
