I grew up in southern California around the huntington beach-downey area. As teenagers we were all "bad". Lots of parties during the 60's and lots of drinking before and during the parties. Not a lot fornicating but we did do everything but actually fornicate. Yes there were many, many very pretty young sisters around that were, 'theocratic' young girls during the week, but were "bad" girls on Saturday night. The 'brothers' and I that ran around together with liked drinking, surfing, and 'bad theocratic' girls on Saturday night.

As I think back, I had, even by 'worldly' standards, a fairly normal teenage life. I wasn't an ubber dubber except when I needed to be. You know, token service on Saturday morning and then off to the beach till dark, then drinking and going to parties. Token comments at the WT on Sunday and then off to the beach. We were always polite the the young girls' parents.

For a long while a bunch of jw's from all over the LA area used to go ice skating on monday night in Pasadena. It was a good way to meet other 'theocratic' young girls and find out about parties that was coming up. Of course, me and my buddies would always show up (drinking). I often wonder how we got away with all the sh*t we did.

Baddest thing that happened was in 1976 when a very spiritual brother, that I actually looked up to, was caught molesting his12 year old daughter. I was on the judicial committee. From that time on I realized that jw's are the same as other people and sort of lived my life accordingly.

justin bieber has beliebers.

benedict cumberbatch has cumberbitches.

surely the ego-stroking gb worshipping fans deserve a name.. gbsters?

The British Bee Gees were a very successful rock group in the 60's and 70's. They had a great hit in '77 called,

"Stayin' Alive"!

The American wtbts Gee Bees were also successful in the '60's and '70's. They had a 'not so great' hit called, "Stay alive till 75"!

"Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees is still a popular song.

"Stay alive till '75" by GB well, no one wants to listen to that old song anymore!

The Fan Name for GB fans could be "The He Be GB's"!

just sayin'!

After 60 years of being a dub and hearing the same stuff, repeating the same stuff and somehow knowing that it was bs, I started looking around to see if others felt the same way and why did they feel that way. I was willing to go it alone but it's nice to hear how others woke up and realized ttatt. What a sap I was! Damn

Thinking about thinking and upbringing

by ballistic in

i was thinking about being "brought up in the truth" as opposed to joining.. as a child's brain develops, it builds connections based on what it is taught.

these connections are inseparable from the person in that our thoughts and memories actually become part of our personality (who we are).. a very simple example, might be being taught *not to do something* because it "displeases jehovah".

the understanding of right and wrong is then set in the child's mind and built upon.. there are several points of thought i have about this fact.

no jw is brought up in the truth. they are raised as a jw but not in the truth.

I'm studying with Jehovah's Witnesses!!

hello all... i currently studying the bible teach book and i'm just curious what information does the study conductor record about the student and is it passed on??

and they keep on saying "the truth" which is starting to get on my nerves.

lol.

"An investigation of Truth should do not harm, if it's not the Truth it should do harm."

Ask the jw who is conducting the "study" if you are free to investigate JW's and some of their past teachings. He or she will definitely record that little tidbit of info.

Clever/snappy comeback for "you're an apostate"

by Dagney in

jw
friends

i'm looking for some clever comebacks.

i really don't care that i am an apostate, but would like to deliver a quick comeback or two to perhaps make the other person think.

any suggestions most welcome.

May I ask "How does the GB get 'new light'? If the 'new light' is different from previous teachings of the wtbts, then isn't the GB member who introduces the 'new light' an apostate?"

At the meeting ... Ugh

by cappytan in

jw

at least i have this forum.

is there a shorthand for referring to this website?

saying jehovahs-witness.com seems like a long winded way..

eyeuse2badub

When I make my monthly appearance at the Sunday meeting (don't want to become irregular ya know lol) I usually have about 2 shots of vodka before we leave to numb my mind and remain calm during the indoctrination session. Wish I'd thought of that 50 years ago.

Brooklyn Update – January 10, 2015

email sent to me from a friend in new york city..

brooklyn update january 10, 2015.

we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.

Sounds like a great BUSINESS model to me. FREE labor, discounted materials, 'loan' the money to the local to buy, the locals repay the 'loan' and the wtbts still owns the property. Brilliant! LCD or RBC makes no difference.
