  I when back into my jw mindset today

  by doublelife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i sneezed at work and one of my customers said "bless you.

  " i wrote down a list of goals i want to accomplish and saying "thank you" when someone tells me "bless you" is on the list.

  i froze and quickly censored myself and said "excuse me" instead.

  Were you a JW that "bend" the rules?

  by Mr. Monday Night in

  i knew a few jws (including some of my family members) who would go clubbing, concerts, play sports ,watch rated r movies and go to party's with "worldy" people.

  at the same time, managed to live life in the "truth" (such as field service, give talks, hold the mic during the wt study, etc.).

  were you one or knew a jw who was like that.

  Watched "R" rated movies with my dub friends, hummed Christmas carols very quietly to myself, wore my skirts just a bit too short (this was in the 1960s), dated unbelievers (and eventually married one), and generally shirked as many meetings and as much field service that I could without getting my parents and the elders angry.

  I was truly The Most Reluctant Dub In The World.

  chickpea, why oh why did you post that godawful song? It makes "The Little Drummer Boy" sound risqué.

  But I did like the last frame, where the girl is holding her nose. That's what I was doing when I saw it.

  I'm going to put on my Charlie Brown Christmas CD now in hopes of cleaning out the contaminated workings inside my ears.

  wobble: And I hope you get a lot of festive seed and fresh fruit to keep that parakeet brain going !

  I'm not sure, but I think I've just been termed a birdbrain.

  Thanks!

  I have four other sibs. Three (plus me) have left; one remains. We all left in our early to mid-twenties.

  Growing up had everything to do with our leaving. You don't question your parents' beliefs when you're nine.

  Sung to "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

  Rudolph, the red-faced elder

  Had a very active nose.

  He used to sniff out trouble,

  Finding out Jehovah's foes.

  All of the other elders

  Shuddered when they heard his name.

  They never let poor Rudolph

  In on all their secret shames.

  Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

  Rudolph surfed the 'net.

  Found this site and took a whiff,

  Smelled fresh air and no bullsh*t.

  Then all the elders shunned him,

  But he shouted back in glee,

  "Keep your dirty little secrets,

  I don't care 'cause now I'm free!"

  VERY DEEP QUESTIONS for elect/annointed/those with insight/holy spirit/etc

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  only need answer if you have already researched, come to an understanding, or have seen this and currently figuring it out.

  if you have no idea what i'm talking about, then question doesn't apply to you as i feel it's information that is only understood at the right time and to those allowed to get understanding of it.. ***if you would like to give me some answers, but feel the information can't be posted publically or your restricted in whom to give it to, feel free to message me directly.

  that's also why i am asking these questions in a way in which only you would understand, but i do not know how to find you otherwise.. .

  I'm well qualified to comment on these VERY DEEP QUESTIONS. I've been elected*, anointed**, and have plenty of holy spirit***. So I can tell you without any qualifications that you can't tell which end of the hammer to use.

  I knew you were creepy. I didn't know you were paranoid, too.

  In a cult where everything happens "invisibly," it makes sense that the facebook group just ... vanished.
