  Beware! Xmas Morning ELDER attacks!

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you trying to sneak out the back door without being dfd or dad...and plan to do holidays, please remember that the jws are tightening their grip on detractors and those who think they can leave without consequences and they will come to your door christmas morning to try to catch you!

  i have heard of this countless times since leaving in jan 97. keep everything that might incriminate you away from the front door!!

  and that includes your kids whom they will ask direct questions to!edited by - lovesdubs on 12 december 2002 14:23:44.

  there's certainly a difference between british humour and american humour, but there's always a point where there's a crossover..... .

  CELEBRATE!

  a new young monk arrives at the monastery.

  he is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.

  so, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up.

  A new young monk arrives at the monastery.
  
  He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.
  
  The head monk says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."
  
  So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscript is held in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.
  
  So, the young monk gets worried and goes downstairs to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall. His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.
  
  The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"
  
  With a choking voice, the old abbot replies,
  
  "The word is 'celebrate'."

  i've got it! i'm going to go on a long holiday to tennerife or somewhere else nice and warm.

  carmel.....if you were refering to me being a hypocrit if i go to the memorial....then maybe i already am in that i've not DA'd myself. but then it really means nothing to me. the only significance it has, is to them.

  no apologies

  its a tough one mate. you obviously cant be pleasing yourself, you have to think of your wife. you may just have to look at it like you need to keep her happy, for your own sake, rather than having to put up with mind warping talks.

  Pillars in the Congregation

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you know people in your congregation, who seem so strong spiritually, that it seems impossible for them to quit or even slow down?

  i've seen many come and go, but some are like pillars, and nothing seems to slow them down.

  often i wonder, who will be next to get df'd or who will slow down next.

  i wouldn't say that those 'pillars' are spiritually strong, i'd just say that they have made the JW thing a way of life, most of the others try to keep up a balancing act....just that there'll always be a day when they'll lose balance.

  i've been a witness for as long as i can remember.

  cannot remember ever celebrating a birthday or any holidays.

  my grandmother introduced my parents and siblings to the religion.. it hasn't been a bad experience at all, except for the time when my hormones kicked in at 18 years old and i fornicated with my first boyfriend (it was awesome really!
