Those JW pins and Jewelry

AudeSapere

I'm not surprised but I must admit to a little eye roll...

Looking at some photos on my brother's facebook page, I stumbled on a picture of our mother. It took a few cycles thru the photos before I realized that mom has a JW pin on her top.

Not surprising, but wanted to share.

We have not spoken in a long time. For a while she was calling me every couple of weeks from her cell phone in the morning. One day I told her that if the only reason she was calling was to get her time started, please don't call. It's been 9 years. (Where's the eye-rolling emoticon??)

.

-Aude.

PS: Does the photo show? First time I've tried it since the site changed format.

Not suprised??? My kid came home the other day after being with mom and had a jw.org wristband on! I know it seems stupid to newer folks but anyone in for more than 10 years knows what a huge deal this jewelry is.

I couldn't believe it.... all that talk about golden calves, wearing crosses and idle worship. S'all good now!

I told an elder and his uber pioneer wife who was wearing those pins, "nice golden calf you are wearing!" They didn't get it....

So what's the purpose of JW.org jewellery? Giving a witness? Identifying other JWs? Showing your dedication to your cult?

All of the above and more.

Such as selling that kind of swag to help fund the WT Legal Fund.

America, land of worldly consumerism, spreads its sparkly and glossy fixtures and add-ons worldwide - and even JWs join in, lost in the irony of it all.

Why not use a purple triangle instead?....

When those buttons first came out, one of my in-laws made a big show of coming over to my home and giving one to my wife.

The look on my face must have said it all as that button haven't moved past her jewelry box.
