What is the best thing and worst thing about being a JW?
by micheal ini would say the best thing is when one has just started studying and coming to meetings for the first time they are treated like gold.
but things really start to detiroriate quickly from there.
the worst thing is the control.

How many of you went to the elders when you / someone did something wrong ?
by run dont walk ini've read a lot of threads of late, where people stated when they did something wrong they would go the elders the next day and confess.. i find this truly bizzare !!!.
okay, maybe i didn't have a conscience as a jw, i did alot of things wrong, but, that would be the f--kin' day i would go to the elders and confess anything.
i would never tell those old goots anything, because then they would have something to hang over you for a long time.

Hell no, I never did. The group of young ones that I associated with were ratted out by a goody goody for drugs and sex one time. We found out and before the JC was formed the 8 of us got together to get our stories straight. Deny, Deny, Deny... It was the best!!! Result was private reproof for 3 of us. The best part was the goody goody saw the errors of her ways and apologized to us. She then came over to the dark side of the force.

Class Distinction Within The JW Community?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inhas anyone noticed that jws who appear to be higher up on the 'socio-economic' ladder get special treatment at the kh?
no matter how many khs i've visited, i've noticed that jws who are not well off socially/financially/physically are treated with less respect/dignity than those with a business of their own, or just a higher quality of life.
i've been to many 'gatherings' where jws filter themselves out according to race or socio-economic standing.

Class distinction is so prevelent in the borg. I can remember breaking friendships so as to "move up" in rank amongst my peers. I can remember going to get togethers at prominant elders houses and there would be no black and or hispanics there (even though the cong was very well mixed). I can remember elders daughters who pioneer during the summer months work only with the ones who had nice cars. I can remember making fun of ones who had to stay at the cheapest hotel during the DC. I can remember the hateful gossip and slander about people who were maybe a little different or didn't have as much as others. I feel so bad now that I have been set free from the borg. Like sndy420 I feel deep regret for all the disgusting things I have said and done to people who didn't deserve it. Being apart of the troof and being an outcast at the same time must be a horrible feeling.

It's funny how even dubs have their urban legends...
I remember hearing the one about the smurf getting up and walking out of the kingdum hall. And does anyone remember the DC when they played "Another one bites the dust" backwards??? It supposedly said decide to smoke marijuana. What a joke!!!!

Racism was big here in Miami. It was very rare to see a white group of dubs hang out with a black group of dubs. Then there was the whole spanish thing. We would have football games spanish dubs against white dubs. Talk about always on the verge of a rumble. And there were elders and MS there too, on both sides. People who say dubs aren't racist are blind...

Were You Ever Put On Restrictions?
by minimus inas a jw, were you ever put on restrictions?
how did you feel when you were told that a certain "privilege" was being taken from you?
were you given any warning by the elders in charge that what you did merited a removal of some sort?

I'm with Wildhorses, I loved restrictions. They restricted me from commenting and also being in the TMS. When they tell you it like they are taking some great thing away from you. Ofcoarse you always act like it hurts

I had a friend whose mother would say she was attacked by demons all the time. One time I left my skateboard at the house and she saw the pic on the bottomof the board of a dragon. She then asked her elder husband to rush home to pray while she put the board outside the front door. The next day she told her son she could here the demons flying around the house trying to get in. To stop them she slept on her bed surrounded by bibles. I felt so sorry my friend grew up like this. No wonder he left the house at 16. To this day he has told me she is still obsessed with the whole demon thing. But I think most dubs are...

Did you lose respect for your parents because of the JW / Watchtower crap ?
by run dont walk inthis is probaly one of my biggest problems i dealt with growing up in the jw crap.. it's no fun growing up alone.. i am sorry, but i hated my parents (probaly from the time i was 13), i know that is mean and a terrible thing to say, but that's how i felt.
i had no respect for them growing up in the borg.
they taught me nothing about ................. having a relationship/dating.

That's what they were.......dub parents! That's what they believed to be truth because they were lied too........just like we were. Why blame your parents for the same shit you fell for?
Being raised in da troof doesn't mean you fall for it. Kids raised in the borg suffer till they can bolt. Some can't handle being out of the social aspect of the borg so they marry at 18 to another young dub. And some have established outside contacts and totally leave the borg and aren't worried about the shunning.
I have lost repect for my parents and I shun them they don't shun me.

Scince I have been in numerous JC's, I have seen alot of disgusting pompous piglike elders in action. The elders in my area that had the most power were always the ones who were well off money wise. They always would roll up to the hall in their brand new Lexus and look down on the R and F Jdub. They would always keep to their own clique. The best would be the new MS and or elder who would run around these jerks like little puppy dogs looking for a handout. I will always take great pride in all the lies I told the elders in my JC's. The excellent acting job I did so I could stay in the borg long enough to bang some of their daughters.
