  Stupidest thing a JW ever told you

  what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

  we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

  for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

  A couple, but here are two that stand out. The first was when I was out in service (I was in Jr. High or middle school) and I was talking about how much I was looking forward to my high school graduation. The pioneer sister I was working with looked down her nose at me and said, Armageddon will be here long before you graduate. I am now almost 40, so she was just a little off (much like the WTS).

  The second was when I asked my sister to explain the new teaching on 1914. She hemmed and hawwed, then finally said I needed to ask her husband because he could explain it better. Translation: I have no idea, but I do what I'm told.

  I think my sweetest kiss was at my wedding. My new hubby gently kissed me, and then without breaking contact, he wrapped his arms around my waist and drew me in tight. It wasn't sloppy or even really aggressive, just started off very soft and got firm. The audience started yelling, they loved it.

  Actually, this has been on my mind a lot lately. I hate to say it, but if the Democrats don't come up with a viable candidate, George W. will actually WIN a re-election.

  I think the majority of the time he's a horse's patootie, but I haven't really seen a better alternative. Maybe they will come out of hiding as we get nearer to the election.

  My mom had a rather wild childhood, which included pregnancy at 14, and marriage at 15. She had several children before she turned 20. Add into that equation a husband who was a substance abuser, and you have a woman who does NOT want her children to make those mistakes. She lived in deathly fear that "the world" would entice us to leave the protection of the Borg. When I left, she was terrified that something really bad would happen to me, but it didn't. She feels a little better now that I am married, but she still believes my family and I are going to die at Armageddon.

  Nope, that was just the luck of the draw.

  Now, if your car breaks down, your pet runs away, and your house explodes, you might want to revisit this.

  Here's My Witness Experience and Why I Left

  by PRB in

  2. experiences

  i got baptized as a jw around the end of 1981 and continued as an active publisher for about eight years.

  however, i gradually started to become disenchanted with the organization.

  it wasnt just one thing, but an accumulation of things that eventually got to me.

  You are so wonderful for going, Deb! How sad that these ignorant people don't realize a funeral is for the LIVING! That by not attending, they are turning their backs on their alleged brothers and sisters. How horrible that even in the midst of the pain of losing their loved one, the family has to be reminded that their "loving spiritual family" can't forget their bias and discrimination long enough to give them a hug.

  You're wonderful, Deb.
