  Good point minimus! I hate these urban legends (though they're pretty funny too). I can't believe people think its true.

  What "SIN" do elders respond to fastest?

  by Dismembered in

  .

  maybe it's just me but, it seem like "elders" respond extremely quickly to "sexual misconduct" as long as it does not involve their own family members.

  true or false?

  100% TRUE! Sex tops the list. And I swore they got off on it. If it wasn't for the fact that my parents were always sitting in the JCs with me, fighting tears over their poor waste of a daughter, I would have made up some good lesbian stories to really get the elders going.

  when i was still fairly new as a jw, we had a congregation servant (po) who got himself in a very difficult situation, and in fact his whole family became involved ... i rarely saw such awkwardness in the kingdom hall ... .

  his wife was a reg.

  I think the evils of sex were emphasized so much in talks, etc., that it was always on their minds. They may criticize the "world" but, the behaviour is often far worse.

  i always wanted to go to one, then found out the cost.

  then found out why they cost so much.

  now the requirements this year are so extreme, i feel sorry for the newly baptized and the single sisters!

  I don't remember those rules - In fact, I had just hopped out of a committee meeting (in trouble again) to attend one in Hungary in 1991.

  The demon plant

  when i was a witness we had a very paroniod congregation.

  (true story) in one case we had a bad moment in the congregation and people said we were having demon problems.

  thus they figured something was wrong.

  That's funny. It's also funny how the society has generated all these crazy demon urban legends over the years.

  None, except for maybe one William Faulker novel (The Sound and the Fury). God forbid we read a non-society book.

  WERE YOU A WITNESS FU**?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a very good friend of mine ,who was an elder at the time, accurately came up with an expression when somebody acted in a certain way.

  let's say a person was a real goody 2 shoes, always supporting the organization, and probably either lierally or figuratively, screwing his brother or sister, he would be labeled a "real witness fu**.

  " toward the end of his eldership , he was pretty much calling everybody "a witness fu**.

  Oh yes - and my mother always used to say "why can't you be just like sister-so-and-so". What makes it sad is that she was really pained to the heart over this. I was the complete opposite.

  .

  the worst magazines i tryed to place was about 13 months ago i think 1 was the watchower on witchcraft and the other was the elderly commiting suicide.i thought how the hell am i going to offer this mag on witchcraft, i think i ended giving them to the pioneers,i mean what sort of presentation could i use with this witchcraft article i suppose i could of spoke about the blair witch project and tell them how c:@p it was,i mean i loved horror films.and to make things worse the magazine about the elderly commiting suicide "oh god" that was a bad one especially when i had to offer it at an old peoples home.

  so anyone on here what mags did you find terrible to place.

  For me the worst ones were the series done years ago about "Babylon the Great". They had the drunk harlot riding the scarlet wild beast on the front cover! Householders saw that magazine and slammed the door!
