"Worldlings" - What was your opinion when you were in the Org?
by Jerohobobonadad inhello all.. although never a fully paid up, dunked member of the club, i was at times very keen on the whole jw thang.. when i was in, i thought all worldly people were lying, cheating, alcohol and drug addicted, sex obsessed gambling criminals who should be treated with ,at least a very high degree of suspicion.
as per the classic pictures in the 80's books - all women looked like hookers, all men were pictured smoking or with a whisky bottle.. did others here have similar opinions.. i remember being 8 or 9 and my idea of a worldly man was a picture in the pale blue (creation book) or the red one (dunno the name) - i'll try and scan the picture i mean one day, it's brilliant.
it is a chap with a black moustache and a white shirt sat at a circular table looking all forlorn.

elders and alcohol
by chuckyy inwhen i was an elder most of the rest of the body drank like fish, some would regularly get drunk and it was always ignored.
then these very same elders would reprove a young lad for excessive drinking!
was there similar hypocrisy in your cong????.

On Pretending to Be a JW to Sell a Car (posted on Sept 19). . .
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit ini just read the many responses and i apologize that this was offensive to some, and likely not the right place for it.
however, the truth is, i am still a jw--i am an inactive, secretly hateful, bitter jw and i will soon da.
did i make known that i was a jw in order to secure trust with a client?

If a Witness speaks about your exit to you, does this happen to you too?
by free2beme ini have been out of the religion a long time and do not make public the fact that i was one, to the general people in my life.
mainly as, it is not something i feel is necessary to understand me and i also do not like the odd conversations that seem to come from it.
the other day, a person from work, whom i did not know was a witness.

whats the deal with long hair
by aoxo into add to the previous thread regaurding beards i have a similar issue with long hair.
i wanted so long to grow it out but of course couldn't.
there is, however a scripture that baffled me, 1co 11:14 "does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him; but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her?

What's the deal here?
by Jerohobobonadad inhello all, i hope this post finds you well.. i was wondering - the same hardcore dozen or so posters seem to be the only ones who reply to and start topics.
looking at the member directory, there are loads of members, but most do a handful of posts then disappear.
is there just a crew of regulars here?

Unusual preaching method I spotted today..
by ackack inwhile waiting for a streetcar today, i noticed an unusal flier stuck to the side of a newspaper box.
why has love of neighbour grown cold?many people feel miserable with no solution.
in israel, jews and arabs live together, but often hate one another.

A funny thing happened yesterday
by Satans little helper ini called my sister yesterday - she d/a'd herself a couple of years ago but is still in the uk and lives close to my father; he's a self important elder type who is as insufferable as they generally are.
anyway, the conversation got to talking about family as you do and she mentioned bumping into my father recently, saying that he was sorry that we were having a tough time in oz and ha had sarcastically said that if he had our contact details then he would have sent a card when mrs slh was in hospital.
now i found this somewhat ironic because the reason that he didn't have our contact details was because he chose to not come to our wedding 3 years ago, and after that i do not want to have anything to do with him.
