  Questions For Those That Entered the Armed Forces After Practicing JWism

  by R.F. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with having so many close to me serve in the armed forces, it only helps me appreciate even more those that serve in them.

  i've had 7 uncles and a grandfather serve in the u.s. army, another grandfather in the u.s. navy, my late brother-in-law served for 6 years in the air force right on up to his death earlier this year, and my father also served in the air force in his pre-jw days.. even while being a very devout jw, i still had the utmost respect and appreciation for those serving.

  from what i understand after chatting with many of you is that some among us on jwd have entered the military after leaving the religion.

  As a result of my work, I am engaged in many ways with the military. In fact next Wednesday I have a meeting with the top Land Forces Commander for the Province to discuss many of the partnerships we have.

  Working at the military base in Kingston Ontario especially has been enlightening and rewarding. I have walked away with so much respect for the men and women who serve. Of the dozens killed so far in Afghanistan I have known and worked with 6 of them and felt the loss when visiting their families afterwards. Kingston also runs training for the Blue helmets (UN) primarily for those going into UN Policing Campaigns. I've ended up meeting military personnel from dozens of countries who were attending this training.

  I was honoured to have been 'coined' by one regiment. They presented me with the Regimental Coin, traditionally given only to those in the ranks of that unit.

  I am now too old to seriously consider this as an option but with the amazing humanitarian work being done by the Canadian Armed Forces it would have been something I would have considered if I were still in my 20's. I gave those years being a soldier of the Borg <sigh>.

  Does a person's true personality come out when they're drunk?

  i've heard this been said before that when you have had loads to drink and when your inhibitions are temporarily removed then the real you is exposed.

  i.e:.

  some people when they've got a skinfull they might start talking about money & bragg about personal financial achievements and how much more money they're going to earn.. some people after a few beers suddenly think they're rocky balboa and think they can take the world on.. others after sinking some g & t's might turn into a crazed sexual tyrannosaurus!!.

  Interestingly for some it all depends on the type of booze being consumed.

  For me, scotch or beer just mellows me out. Wine gets me drunk quickly and causes massive hangovers at a fraction of the amount of alcohol consumed versus beer or spirits.

  I have had to restrain a couple of buds who do not mix well with Rye (Whiskey). It seems to bring the 'Ultimate Fighter' wannabe out of them. Most of their wives now forbid them from drinking the stuff. Smart ladies!

  Now for me tequila is my curse. It is one of the few alcohols that actually makes me a stupid drunk. You know the get up on the table and do a strip routine type drunk. Uzzah now wisely avoids tequila!!! However, one birthday 'my friends' started bring me shots of tequila.... Some time later the National Anthem was played at the beginning of some sporting event (don't remember), I vaguely recall dropping my pants, waving my ass. I was wearing boxers with a Canadian Flag on the butt (across the front it says "I stand on guard for thee"). I was telling everyone at the Pub to salute the flag! Not one of my more stellar moments.

  Every one has their own poison I suppose.

  When I am drunk, (i.e. after 2 martini's ), I am happy, and more talkative (when I am normally quiet) and more apt to say things I would normally keep to myself when sober... it is a truth serum for me.

  This makes the Top 10 List of things NOT to divulge before attending an Apostafest

  QFR: New light on Annointed? No more Holy Spirit than the rest of us?

  by WingCommander in

  2. friends

  question for all of those in the know:.

  i've been getting snipits of info on some threads concerning some possible "new light" that was supposedly in a recent questions from readers.

  from what i could briefly gather, it states that the annointed don't have any more "holy spirit" inside them than do the great crowd.

  Brooklyn has long differentiated between those CLAIMING to be anointed versus those on the Governing Body of whome there 'can be no doubt of their status.'

  It is also a way to keep those upstart female 'chosen ones' from trying to teach while still alive on earth. They only have special status once they die and actually sit with Christ in the heavens. (gawd it is tough to type this crap and not throw up a little)

  It is only the GB and the Nethinem class that have any special insights per the WTBS. Everyone else must be in subjection to them.
