List What Things Jehovah's Witnesses Are NOT
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
here's a few-------jws are not "the happiest people on earth".

they are not the "most educated people on earth" in spite of their enrollment in the theocratic ministry school.. witnesses are not the best neighbors because they won't involve themselves with you unless they can preach to you.. .

any others to make up the list??

I'm Attending the Memorial
by RichieRich in
1. jw
2. friends
my lovely girlfriend and i sat down over a homecooked meal, and discussed the pros and cons of attending the memorial.. i decided, with her support, that we would attend.. i spent years of my life pretending to be a witness to please my mother.

when i left the witnesses, my mother said some hurtful things.. and those things really hurt me... for a while.

but i established myself as my own person, developed my own relationships, and have gotten a good start on my own life.. i don't know that i want to hurt my mother back, but i do want to make it abundantly clear to her, my grandmother, and all the members of my former congregation, that richierich is alive and kicking.. and i think that walking into the kingdom hall, dressed respectfully in a suit, yet with full piercing jewelry intact, and with erika wearing something classy that steals the brother's eyes, and draws glares from the humble sisters, will be just the thing to send that message to my mother.. i don't plan on partaking or making a disturbance.

my friend is an up and coming jw recruit.

not baptized, but high-stepping in that direction.. any way... she lives a small rural town and she has to go to a neighboring town to a kh.

she recently asked her jw guru if there would be a kh built in their own town any time soon.

monkeyshines quot beloweveryone keeps saying to respect the families of those who died in 9/11.

what better way can we respect them than do the one thing they ask of us, watch their movie.
