I'm going to JW Hell, I'm going to die.....
by riotgirlpeeps ini thought this would be kind of fun to do is list some of the offenses that i have committed according to witness beliefs.
i thought it might be mildly amusing considering the lack of emphasis that any of these things are wrong according to the majority of the population.
i'll limit myself to ten.

Just curious...."service, and gas money"
by riotgirlpeeps inlocally on occasion it was the common practice when "in service" to leave gas money for the driver.
i know that the individuals if savvy can get a tax credit for mileage for service (and i was once told mileage to and from public talks could also be included).
what i am curious about is do people still give the driver money for thier trouble?

God says not to go in service....
by riotgirlpeeps inso this morning since my parents are both very devout witnesses i get a knock at my door, i'm supposed to go with.
i'm in my pajamas.
typical guilt trip and mention that ultimately it is my choice, more guilt tripping (last time i checked i was 26 closing in on 27 ironic isn't it how they still don't want to allow decision making).

Good Decisions.....
by riotgirlpeeps inso i was curious, besides leaving the organ, what other life altering decisions have you made that have greatly improved your life, that you wouldn't have made were you still under the "sheep" mentality?.
for me, divorcing my ex, taking a chance to get involved with anyone again, and working at fulfilling my lifelong goal of running my own business (non cleaning or menial labor related).
my self worth and confidence has absolutely increased for acting on these decisions..

Letting thier actions give a thorough witness (a co-workers thoughts)....
by riotgirlpeeps inlate last week i got a chance to give a good "anti-witness".
there is a co-worker of mine who was raised around the org but never became one.
she recently has studied off and on.. she knows a little about my situation, ie divorce finalized in the beginning of the year, actual process started last june.

The Irony never ceases...Analysis of the "Daniel" Book
by riotgirlpeeps inthe latest book being studied in book study is the pay attention to daniel's prophecy book published by the org in 1999. the following is paragraph 31 on page 29. even this testimony is not enough for many bible critics.
after considering this subject thoroughly, one cannot help but wonder if any amount of evidence would be enough to convince them.
one professor at oxford university wrote: nothing is gained by a mere answer to objections, so long as the original prejudice, there cannot be a supernatural prophecy, remains.

And now for something completely different....
by riotgirlpeeps inanyways if anyone has posted a link to this story before i apologize for the duplicate but i hadn't seen this and it made me laugh beyond anything, previously when seeing the information on this story my first guess was it has to be a witness.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,169193,00.htmllong after their mortal forms left this earth, the ghosts of dead prostitutes may be dragged into a florida court.. the owners of church street station (search), an entertainment complex in downtown orlando, are suing a sushi restaurant that broke its lease after claiming its space was haunted.. "it's very serious," lynn franklin, attorney for christopher and yoko chung, owners of amura japanese restaurant (search), told the associated press.
"a lot of people are corroborating having seen incidents in this location.".
