Indeed! The WTS is mutating right before our eyes! Just as Gary Busselman predicted (you kick ass, Gary! You're better at prophecy than Jesus!) Only up until a few years ago, this religion was still pretty much the same as when I left it (back in 1996). In the past, what? three years or so, there's been new light, new meeting arrangements, and new publishing headquarters. Oh yeah, and the whole "published by Jehovah's Witnesses" thing is just weird. There must be some truly interesting shit going down at Bethel, and I'm looking forward to the second coming of Ray Franz. Come on, someone at Bethel (who gets booted out) is gonna publish a book after all these changes are done. Lotsa disgruntled bethel workers kicked out to do special pioneering, or whatever they call it. Kinda like when I got laid off, and they called it a "forced vacation".

Invisible things are starting to grow within the religion. I can't help but wonder if they're going to add this invisible growth to the visible numbers published every year. Oh yeah, speaking of growth, I can't wait for the new memorial numbers to come out! I'm predicting that it'll be just shy of 10,000 annointed.

It's just weird to see the whole thing mutating - becoming a former shell of the bullshit I was raised in. Your thoughts on all the changes?

Is it me, or did this work a lot better in the 80s and 90s?

I saw a couple of guys working at a store who were wearing tight jeans... with their sneakers and died black hair. It looked really gay. If it's not gay, I guess it's called "emo". To hell with Emo!

How Many Here Still Attend Meetings Sometimes?

?

if so, how often.. do you still attend the memorial?.

i never go, ever, and haven't been to a memorial in about 6 years (been too long to accurately remember) - i'm too far gone.

Nosferatu

I haven't been to a memorial in 12 years! The last time I stepped foot in a KH was in 2o00 for a funeral. That was my last lesson: never goto a KH for ANYTHING - including weddings and funerals.

Book cover poll (The Spanking Room)

by WilliamCoburn in

please vote for the cover that you feel best fits my book: the spanking room: a childs eye view of the jehovahs witnesses

my goal is simple: to have a cover and title that tells the reader all of the following: this is a true story of what it was like to grow up as a jehovahs witness with

a father who says jesus is the only way to salvation a mother who says the watchtower society is the only way to salvation and a scared little boy caught in between

Nosferatu

I never got my ass dragged into "the spanking room". I usually just got hit in my seat, or was dragged into the coat room. It also didn't help that the second school was in the basement (in our old hall) and that my mother didn't want to drag me into the women's washroom.

If I had to choose which one looks better, I think #2 does.

Are You a Watchtower Weenie?

by Farkel in

do you raise your hand at every question in the wt study?.

do you say "amen" to prayers that are total bullshit?.

do you call someone you would rather kill, "brother?".

Nosferatu

- "If you are a sister with a part in the Theocratic Ministry School and you forgot to bring a hat, does it never cross your mind that you look like a total idiot with a bath towel on your head?"

...so THAT'S why my mother always wears a hat to the meeting! She's like the only one who does it too. She might as well put a hat on her ass to make sure Jehovah doesn't kick it at Armageddon.

Found this today - My Book of Bible Stories

by kurtbethel in

i was looking in a thrift store and found this gem from 1978. .

quick!

hide it from your children!.

Nosferatu

I vaguely remember the snake one. But I definately don't remember the donkey one! That story is something from a Scooby-Doo episode. The angel needs to go "Arrrrrgh!" and scare away Baalam and the donkey. Then, Baalam can give the donkey a treat, like Ass Munchies (equal to Scooby-Snacks)

Now that would be a cool story!

My Boss's Wife's cooking sucks.

we had a free lunch today at work.

from past experience, i knew i should've brought my own lunch.

this time, it was worse than usual.

Nosferatu

Hooray, I get to taste it more than once. You know when you throw up just to the back of your throat? Yeah.

What a way to show your appreciation - feed your employees re-gurgitated beans instead of the re-fried kind.

I feel ill. Maybe if I work real hard to injure myself, I can go to the hospital and have my stomach pumped.
