i believe in god but i'm not sure of anything....what about you?.
You left out - "Don't give a flying fuck". That would be me.
The God of the OT is a dick and a sadist.
The God of the NT is a crazy person.
I care for neither, and could give one full shit if he exists. Fuck him...or not. I really don't care anymore.
hi i have to go to one of these soon.
i find it difficult enough to sit through a meeting knowing what i now know.
how to survive a whole three days???!!!
I used to fake sick when I was younger. :) Now I just say I went to the English (I'm in a Foriegn Language.)
Bronchitis and the flu are good ones, and will keep the stragglers from visiting you since they won't want to get sick ;) Just cough on the phone alot, or just txt and tell them you can't talk - too stuffed up with a fever.
Unless, of course, you have a SO. Then I guess you're F'd. :(

Even at my most zealous times I would never do this crap. It never even crossed my mind. Sickos. What a bunch of pathetic losers.
I swear, if I'm ever at a cemetary visiting, and a JDUB does this, I WILL beat the living SH!T out of them (disclaimer - if its a dude ;) Woman - I will just cuss out unmercifully. :) )
With no remorse, of course.
i know this has been talked about in the past but im new here..
I'm a born-in. This cult has given me live-long anxiety issues, self-image issues, semi-depression at times, unworthiness feelings, and incredible guilt.
NO, it is a CULT. Don't even go to the KH, they will suck you in!!!
i've noticed about half my half are using these.
of course there's always the potential for people to be looking at things non jw on them.
are the society going to find a way to police this?
One positive - you don't have to fake underline :) I don't know how many jdbubs told me they would just underline sh!t right before meetings lol
Pathetic.
my apologies, but there actually is no refference to marijuana in this post.
i just needed an attention grabbing title to get at least one person to answer the question i am to...ask.
i left the orginization only a few months ago.
"I guess my Question is, is Harry Potter any good? I'm an avid reader, and wonder if I should just read the books first. Than start the films. (In private of course, my family would have a hissy fit.)"
Have you started yet? I'd say read first, then films...most books should be done that way for the best affect :) Especially cuz the HP films leave alot of the good stuff out...lotz more humor in the books than the films, imo.
I read all 7 in a crazy bing effort a couple of years ago here at work, much like yourself - to see what the hype was about. Enjoyed them, but they are geared towards teenagers and the younger crowd ;) I'm mid 30s, but still enjoyed them. I've read LOTR as well.
I will say that HP is a good series to read while learning a new language, like myself. It's not too difficult, and as the books progress the language level is slightly increased.
Hope you enjoy them.
- some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.
i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.
yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!
My grandparents were in their 80s, and had a bit of trouble moving about. Being good grandkids, we helped them take down their Christmas decorations....and were promptly counciled by 3 elders, making sure we weren't "forced" and that we weren't doing it as a "celebration". WFT? Idiots. It's like they have no F'n common sense!
Oh, I was also counciled once for calling on of the elder's wives a bitch to her face lol. But that one was true hehehehe I was counciled, but stayed as an MS after I "was soooo sorry" and apoligzed.
And if you are wondering, yes, yes she is a bitch. And I was not really that sorry, quite enjoyed that...
i read about them here, on the board.
i am so thankful that i choose not to go anymore..
strip club? i was an MS up until last year, and i regularly visit hookers. i once gave a public talk 2 hours after copulating with said hooker regular.
sad thing is, only reason they took me off is because of the language thing lol i'd still be a ms if i was in the english.....and still visiting the ladies, of course.
well, now they want a follow up visit!
when you tell the elders that you have doubts and they say " its okay, we have had our doubts.
having doubts is not apostasy.
In my old hall, before I moved to the foriegn language, there was an elder that was like my grandfather. My family was close to him, he studied with my mom and dad, and he is the one that visited to tell us my dad had passed because my mom was too shook up. We were very tight.
Him and his son were "cool" elders. Then we had to answers questions about something that happened (long story, don't feel like rehashing - but it was not a JC, just questioning us for something stupid). And they both turned on my sister and brought up stuff that she had told them both in private, basically secrets.
And yeah, you guessed it - my "spiritual grandfather" told everything, right in front of all the other elders. Just f***** her right there balls deep. I was aghasted and really hurt by that azz.
At that point, I lost all respect for him and his dick son. I look back now, and I think that was the moment I started having doubts. Especially when they brought up the whole "We can't let Jehovah's organization be tarnished in the public eye" I was like, what?????? First time I had ever heard that, and it stuck.
So I wouldn't trust ANY elder, at all, no matter how cool they are with you or nice to you or if you've known them for 50 years or they studied with you.
They all have an agenda, and will turn on you to protect themselves and JW.org.
- if you have a problem with someone in the congregation -it's your fault.
- only brothers have the immorality problem.
- brothers have 4 main vices on his mental shelf.
Biggest lesson I learned: DON'T EVER GIVE YOUR F'N CELL PHONE TO AN ELDER AND/OR CO-GB MEMBER. :) Nothing but snooping commies.
