my (ex)wife and i asssociated with a few other couples and was considered "popular".
how was your social life?
did you have much of one?
1) It is hard to fit in socially when your father is not a JW. You are viewed as bad association.
That's very true!
That was the situation that I was in. My dad was "worldly" and my mother was the JW. We always had a tough time fitting in. And on top of that, my mother didn't allow us to associate with any kids, witnesses or not. I was a social outcast.
what's the daggiest album you've ever bought?
i'm talking about the sort of music that you hear now and cringe at.
for me it was bananarama's wow!
OMG! You guys are bringing back some awful memories for me!
This thread made me remember that girl band, what were they called? They had everyone "Walking Like An Egyptian!".
Ah, that's right, they were called "The Bangles". But I cant recall the album. A friend gave me that album for Christmas (I was long gone from "The Truth" by then...!!!)

Perhaps you underestimate the popularity of beer?
Well said NVR!!!
Man, is it Friday night yet?? I really need to go out and down a few cold ones!!!
the tribulation is really starting to speed up it's pace.
i just read that atleast 3 types of animal and plant life go extinct every hour.
global warming threatens the entire planet, crimes against women and children are at a all time high, honeybees dying off for unexplained reasons, the threat of nuclear war, the ravage of infectious disease.
Oh my! I better quit my job, sell my house and become a full time pioneer tomorrow. This "Good News" really needs to be spread!
hmmm...anyone know where I can pick up the latest copies of the Watchtower & Awake! for Field Service tomorrow?
What's that??? Great...Gotta run guys...Ebay's having a sale on WTS literature!!!
i went to a used cd store tonight.
i was like a kid in a candy store.
they had a lot of the old records that i threw away because of a cult, now on cd.
When we decided to part with a Queen album, I remember sitting in the living room with "another one bites the dust" on the turntable. We spun it backwards and swore we heard it say "decide to smoke marajuana". Goes to show you what your imagination can do when your all reved up.
LMAO hmmm...are you sure you guys weren't smokin a doobie at the time?? lol I often wondered if the WTS actually listened to what was "backmasked" onto that Queen song?? At least I did replace all my Led Zep LPs with CDs recently. That "devil" music really sounds good!!!
... i'm now a jedi!.
woo hoo - it's only taken me over two years!
lol.
Congrats BB! Keep up the good work!
I'm only like 846 posts behind you!!!

Around 1980, my dub hubby and I bought the brand new Queen album. It was "another one bites the dust" with a silver cover. Shortly after we heard it had backmasking on it, so we decided we must destroy it.
LOL And I thought that I was the only one who smashed up my Queen album!
I also tried playing it backwards too. Didn't sound like, "I love to smoke marijuana ," to me!!!
i don't.
it's not that i won't.
funny thing, is i've collected over 100 different bible versions and translations..
Ironically, yes, I've been reading it alot lately, but for research purposes. I hadn't picked up a Bible in years till recently. I'm also reading the "God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. Dawkins mentions parts of the Bible that people use as proof of God's existence. I've been reading the four gospels about Jesus.
It's funny, but did any of us actually read the Bible when we were witnesses? I seem to recall that the primary function of the Bible was to look up a scripture that appeared in the Watchtower or one of the WTS books. But rarely did we ever read the surrounding context of the scriptures. I seem to recall that the Society instructed us not to read just the Bible, because we wouldn't understand it.
apologies if you all have read this before.. watchtower 1952 15th april pages 254-256. it is the woman that is commanded to show respect and recognition of the mans position of headship, and women who rebel at it are not so much rebelling against men as they are against god.gen.
3:16; 1 cor.
11:2-10; eph.
"What custom does exist whereby women show respect to men? The absence of any is not just by chance, but is by satanic design to untheocratically elevate the woman above the man."
Huh???!!! Sounds like more BS from the WTS that justifies their disrepect of women...amazing!!!
