do you remember some of the weird and wacky stuff emanating from the watchtower society?
let's make a list from memory that we can use to inject a little humor into our discussions with jehovah's witnesses.
- venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.
Then there are all the regional stuff:
- smurfs are demonized
- women shouldn't wear pants with zippers on the front
- Listening to Paul Anka's" put your head on my shoulder " makes you immoral
- Skirts have to be 2 inches below the knee
- White shirts only on stage
- Brothers can't say the prayer at a meeting unless you have a jacket on
-Reading the awake for six months will give you a college education
I could go on and on on the craziness of this religion.

The persecution complex is part of a witness genetic makeup. I can remember the fear I had as a kid taking in all this crap

I usually think of Mr. Evans as a clown, but the above describes him much much better
those of us with a watchtower background probably see the memorial as normal.. at least, we're used to it.. we can forget how weird it seems to an outsider.. it's like inviting a group out to dinner, having meals placed on the table, and then explaining to them why no one present should be partaking of any of it because it's really intended for someone else..
In all honesty, even when I was a true blue witness i was weirded out by the the whole procedure. The passing of the bread and wine by men all dressed in black suits was so bizarre.
have you received your 2022 memorial invite?
here is one sent to my friend from his witness neighbor!
what are the odds that after receiving this invite, someone will attend the memorial?.
The neighbour might have stumbled at the kingdom hall by accident, but after receiving this letter he/she is going to steer far, far away.
if you have been keeping up with the news, many cities are seeing an uptick in covid cases.
mask mandates are being implemented in many cities.. many pimos are relating that their pimi parents and grandparents are scared to go back and are having a hard time following the elder's exhortation to attend the memorial, because it might be the last.. a lot of pimi's are saying; that it doesn't make logical sense for large groups of people to meet in a crowded building passing and touching emblems and wine glasses while covid is still around and vaccines have not prevented the death of many who still got the virus.
the elders keep reminding the sheeple that "we must obey,even if it doesn't make sense.".
To be fair, there has not been a mandate for all to return to live meetings.
I believe the mandate "you get your ass to the hall" is coming. I heard a comment from one of the prominent elders in my parts that covid is here to stay so let's get back to the hall.

march 22, 2022. over the past eight months, the watchtower bible and tract society has reviewed public and other comments on its proposed development for 155 sterling mine road in ramapo and has revised its plans.. on monday, the applicant was prepared to present its feis (final environmental impact statement) and hoped the ramapo town board would accept its submission as “final,” to move on to review by the rockland county planning department.. instead, the board deferred making decisions, seemingly because they did not have enough time to review some newly submitted documents by the activist group rosa.. “we’re asking the board to take action on the ‘feis’,” said attorney ira emanuel.
“if you don’t like it, change it.

what a bunch of fuggin' Hypocrites these false prophets and crooks are!
it is nice to see some familiar faces here.
for those who don't know who i am my last id was lady lee.
thought i would drop by and say hello; see how people are doing.
Hi Lady Lee! I remember you very well and always read your posts.
i'm longgone.
i was raised as a jw and i was in the "religion" for three decades.
i was an ex-jw for five years before i started to no longer even regard myself as an ex-jw, just as a person.
I don't post much, but this forum was a great help to me in the past. I hope you get lots of help from the amazing posters here.
