  Looking forward to going to Memorial this year!

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  Ditto what they said^^^^^^.

  As a child that was the only special day to look forward to. Disrupting it is not cool.

  I saw some youtube clips of memorial disruptions and the disrupter always ends up looking like a jerk and the JWS look like victims.

  I was going through my old posts and found this thread. I thought it was funny and enjoyed rereading it. Does anyone have any new ones to add?

  If you get insulted or scared when you are told you are an independent thinker you may be a JW

  If you send your ice cream money to the society you may be a jw child

  If you assume a couple is engaged because they are sitting next to each other and holding hands you may be a JW.

  knocked on a door on a saturday morning.

  a window opened on the floor above me.

  a grizzled old man stuck his head out and said, " we're all heathens here!

  Stunned silence , then uncontrollable laughter:

  "And they said I was crazy!" Said the guy who just told us how he was kidnapped and tortured as a child by aliens who have infiltrated the government. ( we just got through telling him how God would destroy the wicked and how we would live in paradise worry and pain free and how God would bring back the dead. )

  We backed away slowly, not making any sudden moves and got the he'll out of there.

  That got me to really thinking. Even the crazy guy thought we were nuts.

  Refuting Watchtarded Reasoning - 2. Does the use of "abstain" at Acts 15:29, necessitate avoiding more than just the eating of blood?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower

  in my first post refuting watchtarded reasoning - 1.

  "if a doctor tells you to abstain from alcohol, you wouldn't inject it..." steve and several other posters made the pertinent point that when the blood-alcohol analogy is refuted, jws will simply fall back on the reasoning that the use of the word "abstain" means to avoid taking it in by any means.

  since this is indeed another common line of watchtarded reasoning used by jws, i've decided to make it the subject of this, my next refutation.. abstain is indeed a word with somewhat of a broad meaning, or more accurately, a broad usage.

  Islandman: Thank you.

  I never thought I would consider a blood transfusion. That teaching of abstaining from blood was so ingrained.

  Even now my knee jerk reaction would be to reject one. But I think I would be more likely now to have an open mind and not dismiss it all together

  That is why posts like yours are so important.

  I am a Living Time Machine

  which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.

  everywhere you found telephone booths!

  a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

  I enjoyed the trip! I am a little behind you as I was born in the 60's, but I can relate.

  I was a free-range child: we left the house and did not report back until supper time or dark, which ever came first.

  I still remember my sisters and I riding our bikes to the beach, (at least a 30 minute bike ride)and staying all day without my mom checking on us.

  I look back and shake my head. I was 13, my sisters were 10 & 11. But boy did we have a blast!

  Is this a normal JW practice? Warning, this will be a bit graphic.

  by Sequoia in

  this post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.

  i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.

  he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.

  Steve2: Thank you for your compassionate and well balanced post.

  I was just going to tell all the sceptics to shut the f@#k up if they don't have anything constructive to say and that she doesnt have to prove a thing to them.

  But your post is way better.

  To "A Believer" and other JW's that lurk or participate.

  you think that coming to this site or other anti-jw sites and showing you support for the org is noble.

  knowing how brainwashed you are makes me cringe and disgustes me and i am sure others here on the forum.

  becasue your in a cult and can't see it.

  Cobweb &Millie : Great Posts. I felt the same way. I stayed away from threads I didn't think I was ready for . There are so many things to wrap my head around and some many things I didn't know I didn't know.

  I had to pace myself.
