what is it about american women?.

they sound so sexy!.

i've had a few conversations with american posters lately, and found it to be a highly enjoyable experience, but the ladies voices!

What is it about American women?

They are all uptight, not very approachable and less feminine than others.

I'll take my Latin sweethearts any day who are sweet, approachable, humble, very feminine, flirtatious and super sexy (caliente)!!!!!!! WOW

i keep seeing this comedian all over televison saying how he flys alot and he has noticed one big difference in the airports.there are no longer any black people working there.i have been asking around and people seem to agree with him.

he implied that the government is "profiling" (he likes to call it "pro - active intelligent screening") in a nut shell he thinks it's a smart thing to do.. do you think this is going too far?

i also wonder if there is an avalache of dicrimination law suits being filed.

Untrue, I am in airports around the country three or four days a week, east to west, north to south.

Caucasians are probably in the minority.

Yes many security workers who worked in airport security up until recently were not hired on as TSA workers, thus losing their jobs. Some of them probabably were not legal to work in this country to begin with or had prior records thus disqualifying them.

The truth is people again want to pull out the race card and claim victim status. I've had enough of political correctness.

Did anyone accuse you of being materialistic?

these days, it takes a lot of money to make ends meet.

i live in southern california, and it takes even more.

let alone if one wants to get ahead in life.. in order to do that, either one needs schooling, or must own their own business.

Coqui

Exactly Freedom96,

WTS pisses me off too!!!

Over the years I pursued a career that required me to work you know, Tuesday and Thursday nights on occasion and of course Saturdays and Sundays on occasion. How dare I miss a meeting in pursuit of worldly ideals.

I am a pilot for a major airline. Imagine the stereotype. Chasing hot stewardesses everytime out of town, you know how the flight attendants are today, average age 40 plus and at least 40 pounds overweight and 40% gay (really 80%). What a freak I must have been for some!!!

Freedom96, I would miss a meeting or two and what did I find on my return but their stupid ass comments "Brother we missed you", "Is everyyyyyything OOOOOOKaaaaaaY?

They would be delighted if I quit my job and became a martyr for their religion. You're right it is expensive to provide a modest standard of living for a family today. A man has to do what he has to do. F them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Field Service Reporting To Book Study

by Coqui in

jw
friends

about three or four months ago the organization changed the way field service time is reported... they decided that everyone would not drop their time card in a box in the kingdumb hall but rather leave the report with their book study conductor.

i liked the fact before that i could leave the report with someone i seldom saw.

with the change i realized that with this change the elders had even more control and influence on me.

Now I was being controlled and monitored with a magnifying glass. Now the book study conductor would see me in a small setting and be on my ass fall the time for not reporting or not reporting enough time. Remember its all about TIME, yes TIME!!!!!!

This inferiated me. I'm 38 years old and I must report this sacred time to some men. My sins are between me and God alone and so is my field service time. My question was, shouldn't my work be voluntary and my time kept confidential? This practice angered me just as much as the practice of sending a publishers card and letter to your new congregation.

This new practice helped me see how I was being controlled and manipulated. Thanks Borg!!!!!

Yes the WT Told Millions of Youth NO COLLEGE!!

*** watchtower september 1 1975 p.543 questions from readers *** .

how many years of secular education are advisable for children in christian households?

today, there are many teenage baptized servants of jehovah... how far should they go with a secular education?

Coqui

In 1983, I was 20 years old, playing college baseball, I came into contact with the Dubs and within a year no more baseball, no more college. My parents were pissed!!

This makes me sick today although two years later I went against the grain and enrolled in college once again. My worldly parents warned me I might end up as a janitor.

Everything about this mind controlling cult is true with regards to this subject!!!! I lived it.

My Dumb Ass JW Brother

as some of you know from my sharing portions of my story on this board before, i disassociated myself from the jehovah's witnesses in 2001. my family, including my mother, sister, and brother, remain jehovah's witnesses.

i have an extremely limited relationship with my mother and sister.

i possess no relationship whatsoever with my brother, his wife, and their now 1 yr old son.

Reborn 2002,

Thanks for replying to earlier posts of mine.

Been there, done that! Your'e brother must read these posts because they are all true, I've seen this shit time and time again. Maybe one day he'll get it. Better now than when he is 40 or 45 with three kids, shitty job, no retirement (why invest, thats a worldly philosophy, Jehovah will provide) debt, bitchy wife with no way out. My dad, worldly, came to me and gave me a come to Jesus talk about this shit but to no avail at the time, but I always kept that talk'in to in my mind.

I quit college after 2 years much to the dismay of my non-dub parents. The brothers saw no value in higher education(1984) and still today don't honestly give 100% support. I began to work in a car wash 2 hours a day (dead end but in the eyes of those bastards perfect) and then began running out of my parents home with my book bag in hand every afternoon to do the fine work auxilery pioneering. My parents were pissed!!! The brothers were drawing me into their world of freeloading, eternal poverty and ignorance.

I finally said F---- this, and went on through many intimidating glances and suspicion to pursue a future for myself and family by going to school, accepting jobs that required me to miss those F'ing boring meetings before it was too late. In the end I did the right thing and have no regrets. I was always was on the fringe, never in the inner circle because of this, oh well!!

Don't people get it? This is the mind control the Dubs have on their victims. The Bible never said you can't do any of this.

President Bush's speech

i wanted to hear the president's speech tonight, but can't stand listening to the man.

he has a prepared speech but he keeps saying nuc-you-lar instead of nuc-le-ar.

i can't stand it.. you would think his people would walk him through correct pronunciation.

Coqui

I agree we must look at all issues with objectivity and not make it fit into one parties whole agenda. I must say though, I would fit more on the conservative side. Guess I have seen enough DUBS freeloading off friends and family for years just waiting.

Just wondering after reading some of these posts. Now free to debate are most ex-Jehovers liberals or conservatives? My guess is liberal.

sorry if i keep coming back to this but i need clarification.. can i be df if i am doing certain activities ie.

birthdays, holidays, attending another church?

i've been away from the borg for two months.

Coqui

Thanks for the information everyone!

I have been around this group of people long enough that you would think I would know exactly how this process worked. I am embarassed that for so many years I just accepted so much so blindly.

I never was williing to accept that I was involved in a cult but now I see the how the mind control and fear factor has truly affected me and my wife. How sad!!! This morning my wife was crying because she is afraid of what these minions are going to say about her if she is DA or DF, ie. what an unloving mother, she and her beautiful young kids will be destroyed at the big A. I saw today how the fear and mind control have gripped us for so long.

No looking back!!!!!

e-mail,

Thanks for chiming in on an earlier post of mine. Your story is eye opening to me and gives me an idea of how unreasonable and short-sighted these men can be.

I believe you like me have to let time work do its thing. I feel like I am slowly deprogramming my mind and thinking with reason once again.

Good Luck!
