  funny times growing up a witness

  by strymeckirules in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised from the age two as a witness by my new recruit parents in 1981. i was born in 79.. i didn't like being jw, and that didn't mean i was a saint.. and my parents were fanatical and still are.. i have an an older sister and a younger brother and we are all 2 years apart.. my brother and i were a riot.

  mischeivious, rambuctious, hyperactive and not afraid of nothing.. we had games over the years.. like singing in british accents during the songs(and during bible reading at family study) and screwing with the word just loud enough for each other to hear.. we used to have armrest battles when we sat beside eachother.

  pushing elbows until the other slipped and got in trouble.

  Well , I was pretty tame. But I do remember positioning the watchtower or songbook upsidedown and pretend I could read it .

  I watched my own son when he was about 7-8. From the corner of my eye I could see him building up all his saliva in his mouth. When his mouth was full he just pushed out the biggest projectile wad of spit on the carpet. This was during the sunday meeting. I couldn't believe he did that. So I say to him: Did you just spit? His response? "YeaaaaaaaaaaaaH" .

  It's gross ...but poor kid I think he was so bored

  hemoglobin sausage

  by J. Hofer in

  since jws have been allowed blood fractions for some time now, and sice refusing a life saving blood transfusion is clearly more extreme than the original biblical nutrition commandment, i'm now planning to step into a whole new business:.

  blood fraction sausages: hemoglobin mortadella, hot albumin dogs or immunoglobulin salami.. would there be a market for that?

  would it be ok for jws to eat those?.

  IS THE GOVERNING BODY NOW THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. jw

  .

  i know the anointed never get consulted.

  but is it true that the governing body has modified the definition of the faithful and discreet slave to exclusively apply to themselves and to not include the thousands of other anointed..

  I strongly believe that the governing body would like to have the title of "faithful and discreet slave"apply only to them.

  And when the rank and file speak or pray for the "anointed", you know they are referring to the governing body.

  Recently I spoke with a very devoted jw who was told at bethel by one of the bethel heavies said that there are only a few hundreds of true, genuine anointed.

  I do think that it will get to the point where the governing pompous ones will take ownership of the title "faithful and discreet slave".

  Here's an update to what has happened since I used the words, "Big News," five years ago

  by AndersonsInfo in

  2. medical

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/scandals/103353/1/the-news-is-bigger-than-dateline-bbc-cbc-etc.

  as many of you know, i made the "big news" statement when kerry louderback-wood's scholarly article about watch tower's blood misrepresentation that was published in the journal of church and state was just about to be published.

  i was excited about it because lives were at stake and weve never had such an article before to be able to use to show how the watch tower misrepresents the blood issue through its literature and people die because of it.

  If Your Husband (wife) is Still In - -

  by Had To Go in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you vacillate between caring that he/she is still entrapped in this cult and wanting to show them everything you have learned since your awakening and not wanting to rock the boat and therefore just keeping all this knowledge to yourself?

  i wonder if it is normal to go back and forth like i do.

  one day i want to tell my husband something i may have read here or on another forum and maybe, just maybe i will pique his interest.

  Has to Go,

  I really sympathize with your dilemma. There really is no easy way. But I have to agree with fellow poster BluesBrother to "try and sow seeds gently". In my own situation, hubby used that approach. He would point something here and there and finally the "rose coloured" glasses came off.

  Its a process that may take some time...but in the long run if you want to keep your family intact, its the only way to do it. And don't think for one minute that your partner doesn't have doubts or sees the rot in this organization. Intrinsically every Jw sees things are not right....but most have tricked themselves in thinking the organization can do no wrong.

  I hope things work out for you.
