Try to cut off their lifeline- dollars! Compare their mind controlled members to Moonies or Krishnas, reveal the billion dollar corporation that it is, with vast real estate holdings worldwide, mention doctrinal flipflops and some of the more ridiculous early teachings you would be frowned upon for bringing up, and if time permitted (lol) show how it is a dying organization as the younger generation is leaving, at least, I truly hope they are!

Which aspect of JWs would you like to see a documentary about?
by Gadget inif you had a chance to make a documentary about some aspect of the jws, what would ou choose?
would you talk about shunning, the blood issue, explain how its a cult, or what?
unfortunately this would only be for an 8 minute segment on a current affairs programme so i need something that'll get peoples attention and make them think without having to go too deep into the subject.. what would you choose to talk about?.

Dunno if I should tell this one or not. As a bratty teen, boredom at meetings grew overwhelming. I got a really cool idea and told it to a couple other bored teen monsters. There was a special talk that Sunday with a visiting elder doing the honors. Wouldn't it be really really funny to put tacks in his chair on the platform, points up, for him to sit down upon while waiting to be introduced? Yeah! OK, so I got the tacks from the Library and placed a clever grouping in the center of the chair. Yep, Brother Windbag got stuck in the butt and jumped up. Of course, the Brother introducing him was my father and he had a real good view of the cleverly placed tacks. And of my red face in my seat. I feigned shock and innocence, but I got hauled to the back room by my ear. I had to sit by myself alone in the very back row with the disfellowshipped scum and couldn't talk to anybody before or after the meeting, then out to wait in the car to go home. I was so embarr-assed, was just trying to create a good laugh for the congregation. Looking back, I bet many did laugh their ass off, but it was still a silly thing to have done. I took the fall too, since none of the spiritual minded teens knew anything about what happened!

If you want to help with hurricane relief, just put it in the regular box
by atypical inwas anyone else there to hear the letter about this?
a few weeks ago, right after the new orleans disaster, a letter from the society was read which said that if we wanted to contribute to the relief effort, we should put the money in the regular wordwide work box.
it said that the society would apportion the appropriate amount for relief.. the letter then went on to relate how a bunch of families were saved because they were out of town at assembly, and how the brothers were going through the superdome with a watchtower in their pocket to pick out witnesses and take them somewhere better.. that letter blew me away and left me shaking my head.

Huh! So a birthday celebration is "Giving undue honor to creatures" but a big 50th anniversary gala is not? What strange logic!

That's funny, Jordan! Did your mum get a judicial meeting for throwing things at Sister Elderette?

Hey, horrible life! At least you didn't rip one or something, lol! We had a large, large sister get discomboberated and sweaty on stage. She stood up and wiped her forehead. "Lord! Have mercy!" she gasped, and removed her suit jacket. For all the world to see, were her fuschia bra straps showing! I must say, we did have some rip roaring laughs to break up the crushing boredom sometimes!

leaving
by Lo-ru-hamah into those of you that have been jw's for many years... i would like to know how it is that you have transferred to your new life.
my family and i are in the process, actually, we have left because of many of the issues brought up on this forum.
this, being jw's, is all that we have ever known.

I found peace by realizing they are wrong about so many things and, God does not belong to the Witnesses! Leaving the Witnesses does NOT mean leaving God! You can always talk to God, and pray thru Jesus, and be heard. Admire a forest or mountains or the seashore at sunset and you will feel God there.You will find peace by talking to God and he will understand.

Tee-hee, once we realized how mortified our parents were, we slinked to our seats. As I recall, an argument broke out, starting with hissing and whispering and we progressed to elbowing. She slugged my arm and thankfully, it was meal intermission so everybody filed out, the rows were empty and boy, did we get chewed!
