Oh, and in my second congregation - for criticizing the "friends" because they were far from friendly and because they went out in service in BMWs, dripping in gold, wearing fur coats. Gee, I'm sorry! I didn't realize that is JUST WHAT JESUS WOULD HAVE DONE!

What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

My daughter dressed too old for her age. Uh - what was I supposed to do? She matured when she was only 10 - by the time she was 13, she had a much better figure than I. I asked was I supposed to have her skip around the hall in MaryJanes and anklets? I was told that wouldn't be a bad idea....grrrrrrrrr

Most LUDICROUS thing you've ever heard at the KINGDOM HALL
by berylblue ini certainly have heard a lot of idiotic stuff during my tenure as a witness - but this one is priceless:.
a neophyte was complaining about the heat, humidity, physical effort, etc., involved in attending the district convention at veteran's stadium in philadelphia - and she was right.
it was miserable.

Hauling around babies in 103 degrees, having perspiration all over your modest clothes (God forbid you dress in something suitably cool), attempting to stay cool while still feigning interest in the program ----Whereupon the sister who was studying with her stated, "This is Jehovah's way of preparing us for Armegeddon. He does it because he loves us".
I had to turn away so she wouldn't see my look of horror. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
I later pulled the neophyte aside.
"What Txxxx told you? I suppose Jehovah doesn't like those losers in the other district".
"Why do you say that?" Mxxxx asked me.
"Well, right now, they are sitting in an air conditioned theatre."
"I don't get what you mean."
"If this convention really were to prepare us for the privations of Armegeddon, don't you think it's a little unfair that those in other districts are not receiving the same preparation? "She agreed with me that the entire proposition was a bit absurd.

Food Shortage
by startingover ini don't believe there's an armageddon on the horizon, nor do i believe there's a god who has anything to do with this, but i really do think we are headed for hard times like we have never seen.

Oh, so the US has promised ALL to other countries? For once, let's not be stupid Americans and let's keep the f-ing stuff for ourselves. It's not as though anyone appreciates what we do for them anyway. They still hate us, they will probably always hate us....exacerbated by the idiot in the White House, of course....so let's feed our own poor people instead.
DEATH to AMRIKA My A$$
I know some bleeding heart variety liberal is going to tell me how awful and selfish I am...blah blah blah Yeah, right.

What if ... Eve ate the apple / Adam didn't?
by sacolton inwhat do you suppose life would be like if only eve ate the apple, but adam refused?

She would've been replaced, just like Lillith.
Women have always been dispensable. And not too highly regarded. What makes me angry is that, while the men's rights activists have legitmate complaints, they fail to understand that we women have not had it easy for centuries, whereas men have had it rough for a few decades.
Sorry,I'm in a mood today. And no, it's not that time.

I've got a better one - what if ADAM ate and EVE did not?
Men could no longer use that sorry piece of fiction as an excuse to subjugate women, could they? -

Are there any gods who actually don't HATE WOMEN
by berylblue inand base their laws on the premise that we're inherently stupid, weak and evil?.

(i can't believe a woman would willingly join this sorry excuse for misogynistic laws.

To hell with them all. If I ever decide to become religious again, I'll worship the Goddess like my daughter does.
