  I WANT REVENGE!!!!!

  well, it has finally happened.

  my jw husband came home last week and told me he is moving out.

  it seems he has been talking to the elders, and they feel his spirituality is being threatened (even though i have not insisted he stop going to meetings, i won't allow any jw material in my home because of my children from a previous marriage - i don't want them exposed to it.

  on bank holiday monday just gone, a dear kind older couple in the cong decided to take me and my good lady out for a slap up meal, to try to cheer us up after the recent upheaval in our life.

  somehow i ended up with the bill.. anyway, this was the local italian trattoria were we often go, and are on first names terms with the staff and quite a few of the other regulars.

  big mistake!!.

  jw's are a peculiar bunch.

  certain things are characteristic of the witnesses.

  jw's are known for some weird, unconventional things.

  Are There Things You Didn't Understand About JW's Until AFTER Baptism?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the things the society prides itself over is that jw's are not only preachers but also teachers.

  jw's are told that they have the "best education in the world".

  jw's are taught for a number of months before they are allowed to get baptized.

  What musical groups or songs were bad according to JWs?

  what songs or groups were you forbidden to listen to as a jw?

  were any specifically mentioned from the platform or were you counseled not to listen to a certain song?

  for me it was the entire def leopard hysteria album - bad heavy metal told it was demonic, i listened to it in secret, silk's "freak me" - a virgin listening to a song about hot sex?

  Got high in the parking lot before the Thursday night meeting.

  Left during the assembly to go drinking in a bowling alley, then came back and told my parents I was working in the kitchen.

  Subtle Protests.........

  by integ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i continue in my fade to make those little subtle protests when around the witnesses....you know what i mean?

  doing the kind of things that have nothing to do with violating "bible standards", but are none the less frowned upon by the self righteous of dubdum.

  my latest was when attending a wedding reception the other night.

  I continue in my fade to make those little subtle protests when around the Witnesses....You know what I mean? Doing the kind of things that have nothing to do with violating "Bible Standards", but are none the less frowned upon by the self righteous of dubdum. My latest was when attending a wedding reception the other night. I dared to come to the reception with no tie, and just a regular style crew neck polo shirt and khaki pants. Everyone else was dressed in suits and ties, (and dresses for the ladies). Plus...and hold on to your seats for this one, I had'nt shaved for two days, and my beard was noticeable. I did'nt do this in protest to the couple that invited me to the reception, but only to send some subtle signs that I am not as 'IN' as I used to be. I was gracious and amiable to those I conversed with, but I could tell that there were some who were looking at me kind of cross-eyed. To those of you who read this and were never witnesses, you must think it to be hilarious that not wearing a tie and having facial air (outside of a mustache), would be a form of subtle protest. To those others that have been witnesses and done the same thing, you understand what I'm talking about. I offered no apologies to anyone in regards to my disrespectful way of dressing and my lack of shaving. I looked like the worldly un believing husband guy that sisters drag to witness events. It was subtle, but this, along with my lack of meeting attendance, has sent a message that I may well be a "lost sheep" at this point. Anyway, just thought I'd share, and ask if anyone else has sent similar subtle messages before exiting the borg completely?

  Thanks,

  Integ.
