  EDIT - Bill isn't worth arguing over. His degree is honorary. *smile* I admire his work up until the mid 80s.

  goon is not a perjorative term for a jew, or a lawyer. Period.
  
  
  Slang is one of my hobbies. Goon comes from a the cartoons that spawned Popeye the Sailor - Thimble Theater
  
  [Origin: 1920–25; shortened from dial. gooney, var. of obs. gony a simpleton (< ?); influenced by the comic-strip character Alice the Goon in the series Thimble Theatre by E. C. Segar (1894–1938), American cartoonist]
  
  
  Don't get me wrong. I also assumed 50 Cent was referring to some stereotype about the attitude and efficacy of Jewish lawyers. But he did NOT specifically say it. He didn't.

  jehover being the most obvious.

  why was there a group in every hall that pronounced some words like a bad english accent.

  also why is it pretty universal, i.e.

  Get the bank to show whether it was a one-time levy (they have a limited life), or
  
  was it a long-standing lien.

  A former "Bethelite" JW's friend of mine wants to "Disassociate".

  by booker-t in

  a friend of mine that was at bethel when the "change" came out about the "generation of 1914" in 1995 wants to "disassociate" himself but is terrified that his family especially his mother(who is of the annoited) will totally shun him.

  his whole family are jw's his uncle an elder, his sisters pioneers, etc; any advice i could give him?

  i know what it is like since my mom has been a devout jw's since 1967.

  To anyone who is worried about shunning:
  
  You should be worried, generally. But keep it in perspective.
  
  Hell, I was treated worse than a disfellowshipped brother by my own first cousin/former best friend/former next-door neighbor/former barber due to a situation.
  
  I had practice at some shunning.
  
  And I am treated as a disassociated person/disfellowshipped person by elder's children, since the elders know about the dirt I have on them.
  
  Others just think I am soooo spiritually weak.
  
  Do what you need to do. The things you are fearing are bad, but they are not the end of the world.

  Do you still feel guilty, not going to the memorial?

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the first time i missed the memorial, i was sick and couldn't go, and felt guilty because that meeting was so important.. then another year, i missed again, this time i wasn't sick.

  i still felt guilty, because i still believed in the religion to a certain extent.

  i didn't go because i didn't want to go back to the meetings, and feel trapped once more.. maybe some feel guilty that they aren't doing anything for the memorial or easter, depending which religion you think is right, because after all jesus did say to remember him..

  You have a point.
  
  I decided to make my own respectful remembrance up. I have to think more
  about it, though.
