WHAT'S THE WORST JOB YOU EVER HAD?

by Mary in

jw
friends

the worst one i ever had was working in a frozen chicken factory.

there were about 30 of us in a freezing cold room and my shit job was to feel the half-frozen chicken breasts up, to see if there were any little bones in them.

well after the first 5 minutes my frigging fingers were frozen stiff, so i couldn't tell if there were any bones in there or not........after 20 minutes it felt like my hands were having an out of body experience and if they weren't in front of my frozen face, i would've thought they had dropped off.

I have never experienced so much rejection or sex talk

unbeliever I am curious now - who was doing the sex talk?

You know you're NOT a JW anymore when...(add some)

by Flindersgirl in

you don't automatically wake up with a headache on sunday morning.... you no longer go around (while in field service) mentally deciding what home you'll "have" after armaggedon.... every item of clothing you buy as a woman is not first assessed for its modesty value.... you no longer worry about the 144,000 watching you have sex...:).

when on holiday you don't have to find the nearest kingdom hall asap (remember brother and sisters you are not on holiday from jehovah!!!).

being able to laugh about having a numb ass at the assemblies from sitting and the hilarity in having to tell people that you found the meeting "uplifting" when really you were fighting sleep the whole time.... you no longer have to avoid entire sections of music stores in order to make sure you don't pick up and "demonistic" vibes from backmasked cd's.

You go at least a year without wearing pantyhose.
You check out posts on an active JW board

Flyinghighnow - Thats so true about the nylons! hehe

So are their active JW boards then - I thought they were not supposed to use the net. I'd be interested in having a look though - where are they?

i have always been curious about some of the google ads that appear on this web site.

(i know how it works?the webmaster pasts a code, and google puts up whatever ads they want.

) has there ever been a thread on this topic?

NWT - i've seen the partners in truth one and you know what I did think it was post office for ages before I remembered the other version of PO!

I know it is a little bit mean, but hey I'm not all heart. Besides I'm British and making fun of ourselves and each other is our national pasttime alongside beer drinking.

Actually NWT this is like that bit in Never Mind the Buzzcocks ... know what I mean?

My Book of Bible Stories

by Taylor S. in

i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).

at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.

then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.

Did anyone used to do bible charades when you had friends round to end the evening? Well Dinah and Jezebel were my favourites - I always used to nab their roles and then I'd take whatever visiting brothers we had behind the sofa and start kissing them until the adults figured out what was going on - I must have been about 7! I also remember when I decided we should do mimes of breaking the 10 commadments and throwing my sister to the floor and "lying down" with her in the living room, rolling around on the floor so my parents and guests could guess which ten commandment I was demonstrating the breaking of! I can just see how shocked their faces were - but what do you expect when you are teaching babies about fonrication and adultery before they even understand the first thing about healthy relationships!

Can you tell me what the site is and I might have a go myself?

Apostates, Hatred for the Org, leaving JWD

by wanderlustguy in

yesterday i watched a thread grow so fast it was insane.

that thread wasn?t about how bad the society was, it wasn?t about sex or drugs, it was what we thought could have been someone committing suicide, saying they had enough?life sucks and then....

then today i read a second posting of someone who has done an exhaustive study on the postings found within jwd (actually only the tame ones that are from people leaning more pro org than against) and determined what a hate filled sack of pus this place is.

Wanderlust you have had such a shi**y time, you poor thing. I just wanted to second what you said about teh difference between the genuine warmth and love found here. Noone has to tell us five times a week from a platform to show this. Hell, we don't even have to read the bible to express care and compassion from the heart! And yet most JWs, no matter how often they are told who and how and why and when to care - they still can't manage much more than the forced "how are you?" before quickly moving on to more "fun" people without helping.

However this is not true of all JWs - whilst I personally can't recall any acts of love shown to me during my 16 years there, except elderly sisters taking me out on the service, my father regularly epitomised my idea of Christian love to ones within the congregation. He'd take coal from our own bunker and drop it off anonymously at the homes of widows or elderly ones he knew were struggling, he'd go round and clean their windows when they were on holiday, also anonymously, he'd travel countless miles picking people up who didnt have cars so they could get to meetings. Sometimes are route to the meeting began 2.5 hours before the meeting started and he would never take money for petrol expenses, and we were not well off. In fact I look back now and realise just how poor we were financially.

But I would say the real love did not come from the higher ranks - the so called shepherds. It came from the humblest and least noticed amongst the flock.
