  at least you didn't put up with self-righteous cartoon characters.

  i particularly like how they portray eastern religions with that elephant named hadu?in case this has been posted before, my bad....

  When reading through that nails on chalkboard website, I didn't know whether to laugh my head off or cry out in terror.

  by truthseeker in

  the answer?

  it depends on the context of the film.. .

  a number of witnesses in my cong absolutely refuse to watch harry potter.

  The pickiness witnesses displayed when it came to movies, especially movies with magical themes, used to drive me crazy. I've always loved fantasy, so this was a no small source of consternation for me when growing up. What really made me angry was when ultra-holy mothers would condemn a film when they barely knew anything about it. I wonder if other fundamentalist groups are that uptight...

  Strangely enough, when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, my mouth wasn't all that sore afterwards. I don't know why, maybe I have less nerves in the back of my mouth or something...

  I know how you feel DarkUncle. There was a time back when I was still a witness that I utterly hated God. However, time passes, you learn more, and things do start to look up again, even though your past hopes may have vanished (or rather, changed form).

  Did You Ever "Pray For The Governing Body"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we were "encouraged" to regularly pray for the governing body because they work so hard and need our prayers sent to jehovah.

  ......did you or do you still pray for the governing body?

  The Society has given up on "holiday witnessing"

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  up until a few years ago......every dec. km had a part encouraging everyone to go in the ministry on the holidays.......christmas day, etc.. no one ever got too excited about it in our cong.

  .........it was pretty much a joke to everyone even when commenting on it during the meeting part.. that no longer seems to be the case..........haven't seen any parts like this for a few years now......i guess they've given up completely.. the meeting part usually included some "fine experiences"......but i have heard exactly the opposite from some who actually tried it one time.. have any of you ever went in service on christmas day?

  What Ways Did You Rebel Against The Elders & The "Truth"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to get a kick out of how some people used to push the elder's buttons.

  sisters would wear a dress that was 1 inch above the knee just to get the brothers going.

  or brothers would grow something a little longer than a mustache......what did you do to exert your independence??

  I rebelled in ways that were too subtle for most to notice. I read fantasy novels, saw R-rated films and a lot of stuff they would have called spiritism, and started exxpressing my spiritual turmoil through my writing.

  What would you consider to be 'Victory over the Watchtower'?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not talking about a victory which might include welcome reforms on blood policy, shunning or the handling of abuse allegations.

  what i want to know is what we would consider to be the victory.. it is unlikey in the extreme that the various corporations of the watchtower empire will ever be closed down so, realistically what can we hope for in the long term?

  say 30 - 50 years?.

  I'd say that absolute victory over the Watchtower would be not just the organization collapsing, but all their money and assets being redistributed among all the people they snubbed and hurt.
