  Is it bad?

  by Elsewhere in

  .

  i remember when i was a jw how everyone was constantly wondering whether certain things were bad or demonic or generally unacceptable to a true christian(tm).. it seems like they are completely obsessed with things like that... like the luau that minimus brought up in another thread or the smurfs.. when you were a jw, what were some of the "critical" things that everyone was obsessed with?.

  When I was pioneering, the be an example don't stumble others chant - lead to me being counseled for listening to Def Leopard - bad, bad heavy metal music will invite the demons to dinner, Loved Duran Duran - The song 'Union of the Snake' what snake? One sister asked, Could it be Satan? Love Earth Wind & Fire - the demons could be floating overhead! Love Michael Jackson's Thriller naughty girl that I am. Love Reggae music - will be converted to the Rasta religion & get hooked on weed. I'm a movie freak so I watched what appealed to me even if it was rated R. Saw Aliens and my elder uncle wigged out - it has demonic overtones! & Terminator and The Sixth Sense - my demonic marathon continues. Never pray out loud, Satan might hear! - Oh brother. Also, I wear a celtic ring because I love the design - it's pagan, why am I wearing it? - They're so ridiculous, It feels great not to be so paranoid and afraid anymore! - Victorian Sky

  i've been inactive for several months.

  i know it's not the truth and mentally i've walked away.

  would it be living a lie to remain inactive?

  I admire people who dare to say out loud what other people think. I agree with Moore but I thought Adrien Brodey was sincere and his plea for peace far more effective than the blunt approach. (I loved how he didn't even hesitate when he kissed Halle Berry, what a man!) And the great thing about living in a democracy is freedom of speech, I'm worried about the troops over there and the loss of innocent life on both sides, like Brodey said, let's pray for a quick resolution -Victorian Sky

  I'm between 9 & 10. I have family and 'friends' still in and I'm scared for them. I agree with whoever said that many jws are comfortable in their own world. The attitude is 'I may be miserable but hey, we've got the truth!' I am so happy to be free of the relentless guilt & fear and I wish the same for those I love who are still in. I don't care if the GB is sincerely wrong, those few men in brooklyn have stolen too many lives and broken up families - Bring on judgment day for the GB!

  My aunt and I went to a door and the guy invites us in. We were stunned to find the entire apartment - including the walls covered in aluminum foil! He said he was protecting his brain waves from the CIA & the FBI and the most evil of them all NASA! He said they staged all the shuttle launches at a studio in Hollywood, did we come to warn him about the conspiracy? My eyes were watering because I wanted to laugh, my aunt kept nodding because she was trying so hard not to laugh. After we left we couldn't do another door we were in hysterics.

  I experienced the lack of love firsthand, that brought my doubts to the surface. I hated the way families were torn apart by disfellowshiping, I never thought there was anything loving about it. I didn't believe that the Bible forbid blood transfusions - and all those children dying. Then I read old Watchtower publications like 'The Divine Plan of the Ages' and 'The Finished Mystery'. I was shocked out of my mind when I read that nonsense along with the history of the organization. I knew there is no way God could be with these crazy people, no matter how sincere they are. Sorry about your dad, my mom is one too so I can relate. I pray for her, if you believe in God, pray for your dad, I'm sure it will help:)

  'Saving Grace' - About mid age woman who grows pot in Scotland! 'The Princess Bride' - Sentimental favorite, 'Anne of Green Gables & Anne of Avonlea' - Must go to Prince Edward Island before I die! 'Monsoon Wedding' - Indian movie with subtitles about an arranged wedding, 'Amele' - cute french movie about a do gooder afraid to love, 'Notting Hill' - Even though the real Notting Hill has so many cool ethnic groups and this, movie has none, I'm a sucker for the love story, 'Some Kind of Wonderful' - I agree with you Bitter Sweet, I always cry at the end, pathetic, I know. 'A Room with a View' - Most men want to slit their wrist after seeing this but I love it, I know most of the words, love the costumes, just love it, 'Emma' - with Gwenyth Paltrow soooo romantic 'Mulan' & 'The Lion King' - Ha Koona Matatta everyone!

  JW's Should Not Wear Too Much Makeup Or Baggy Clothing Per New KM

  by minimus in

  if you weren't quite sure how jehovah god expects you to dress, the april 2003 km helps us to see his viewpoint.

  "well-arranged dress shows reverence for god" is the article that assists us to know god's feelings on these matters.

  i will give you some quotes from the article: "soon we will have the privilege of being jehovah's guests at the 2003 ' give god glory' disctrict convention.
