It was a difficult time in my life, having gotten divorced from my JW wife who wanted out of the Borg. I was driving down I-95 through Baltimore and needed to stop for gas. I can still point to the exact rest stop on the highway. I had eaten some food at some greasy spoon restaurant earlier in the day and just needed to get to a bathroom.

I pulled into the rest stop and saw the sign for "Rest Rooms". I walked in, bent over to look for one of the stalls that appeared no one was using and found an empty stall. Naturally, I put some toilet paper on the seat before I sat down to be safe, not knowing who had sat there earlier. I had heard that cooties can jump from a dirty toilet seat.

When I was inside doing my business, I noticed that some people had used magic markers on the inside of the stalls to advertise their businesses. I could see that some were questionable since there was a lot of "do you want to have a good time" and stuff about BJ's and other activities.

Just to confirm that they were legitimate, I took a pen from my pocket and began to write down some of the phone numbers. I still remember that some guy named "Big Rod" even had a toll-free 800 number.

But then I noticed the diamond in the rough. This website. I quickly wrote it down. I said to myself, "Self, this is what I am looking for."

19 years later, I look back and making that stop on the highway may have been one of the most fortunate events of my life. I am truly grateful.

JW feeling persecuted yet (California)

by Anony Mous in

california, after failing to ban all religious gatherings (failed in court) has now banned all singing and chanting in religious places, including if you are on a live stream and the only person around.. i haven't heard a peep yet from the jw.borg about how to handle this new 'persecution' on religion, the only thing that came up with a search was this: .

Singing is not really a big issue within the Borg. If I recall correctly, they did not sing at meetings in Mexico for a number of years due to some sort of governmental registration thing that the JW's were like a club and not a religious group or something. Don't ask me to look it up but it has been posted here several times over the years.

As DesirousOfChange mentioned, the Borg is laying low. IMO, that is a smart move in a political sense. If you had half of a congregation affected with the virus, it would be considered "bringing reproach on God's name" or some other thing when it was broadcast on the news and throw a negative light on the Borg.

I think Prince Andy and a lot of other high-profile guys and politicians have their butt-cheeks squeezed at this moment knowing that Ghislaine Maxwell will start to sing to the authorities to minimize her prison time.

My wife seems to become more aroused with herself when seeing the My Pillow Guy on TV. Is there possible JC involvement?

i know we are living in the "last days" of this system of things, but it is getting creepy around the house..

She just wants new fluffy soft white linens. That's what makes her frisky. Your participation may or may not be required.

@the girl next door ...

Maybe it's that bushy mustache that she thinks would provide, shall we say, a certain stimulus. Or maybe the 2 for 1 offer. I'll ask her.

J.W's and " but that is Pagan !".

by Phizzy in

there have been a number of threads touching on this before, leolaia for one, back in the day when we had many an erudite poster, showed the pagan origins of many things, including the passover , and by extension, the jw " memorial".. what prompted my thought on this was a conversation i had the other day with a young lady, never a jw, who said the jw stance on birthday celebrations, was groundless and cruel.. i thought later that jw's do a " pick and mix " as usual, as they do with so many other things, on what they condemn as "pagan" and what they accept and practice.. the institution of marriage itself is pagan, marriages were performed long before the bible was written, and long before the nation of israel was formed.

yet jw's perform marriages, use the veil, and the ring, all pagan.

the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, all pagan.. i guess you guys can think of many more things ?

Adam and Eve were pagan?

@Sea Breeze ...

It can be argued that Eve was pagan since she had that snake tattoo on her lower back.
