  Have You Ever Gone To Meetings While Under The Influence Of Booze Or Drugs?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had an italian elder friend that regularly drank his wine (daily) and it was obvious that on some thursday or tuesday evenings, he was clearly under the influence of alcohol.

  quite often, we would have a 3:00 sunday afternoon elder's meeting and once again, i could tell he had been drinking.. nobody ever brought it up but i knew him well and he loved his vino and martinis!.

  we had a number of people on meds that would either act like zombies at the meetings or cry or get aggressive.

  also another instance comes to mind, i eventually returned to the jw's, I was out from 15-18 (mom allowed me to stop going which at the time i didnt realize how rare that was, she caught alot of heat). anyway i climbed the ranks to pioneer and MS. while i was in my early 20's i had a solid group of friends to hang with, but alot of them moved, so i really tried to find people to hang out with in other congregations. i found people, but they were boring, in fact one dude outright told me after i asked him if he liked sports that he "doesnt watch any sports or movies, he just focuses on his assignments and doing the territory cards". yeah, i want to hang with him, LOL. this lead to a period of depression, to make a long story short, another brother introduced me to oxycontin. (its a long story, but he had health problems, and at the time had a doctor that over perscribed the s**t out of him and gave him a phat script for 80mg oxy's once a month)

  i've done alot of drugs in my day, and oxycontin is by far the most powerful drug i have ever taken. and the example i will give you is, i was feeling really crappy and depressed and it was a meeting night. so when i got home, i popped an 80mg oxy and went to the meeting. that drug is so powerful that not only did i feel great, but the meeting was actually......ENJOYABLE! LOL

  oxycontin made me feel so f'ing good that i was enjoying the meeting so much, i didnt want it to end. this is why i think its one of the most dangerous drugs in existance. this is all opinion, but i think its so powerful that there is not a negitive life situation that exists that oxy's wont make better, even perhaps enjoyable.

  you could be on day 1 of a 20 year prision sentance, and if you take an 80mg oxy, you'll be like "hey, this isnt so bad, yea the food sucks, but i feel great. my cell mate is pretty cool, yeah he raped me, but he only did it once, some guys cell mates rape them all day. so this isnt so bad."

  LOL!

  when i was a teenager (like 15 years ago) i was heavily into drugs. one night i dropped acid on my way home from work (i had done acid many times) and when i got home my mother informed me that this was the night i promised to go to the meeting. (i was 17 and not going to meetings). she was right, and i totally forgot, i tried to get out of it, but then she accuratly pointed out how she doesnt make me go to meetings and allows me to smoke in the house, and all she is asking for is this 1 meeting. it was a reasonable request, so I went.

  it was wild, the lights in there are so bright that it really enhanced the LSD trip. there is really nothing too out of the ordanary to report, it was pretty awesome, and there were streaks of light coming from whoever was on the platform. probably was the most interesting meeting i ever been too. once the meeting ended, jw's tried to talk to me, but i got the hell out of there.

  Watchtower's New "Toy Story" - What Parents Need To Know

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've uploaded a new blog article that addresses the latest dvd release at the current district convention, namely "become jehovah's friend!

  " - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.

  a link to the article, which includes the youtube samples of the production, is below:.

  Sab makes good points, if there is any doubt that they are trying to weed out anyone other than zealots, just listen to the DC program this year. if you are not a zealot, you are wicked and worthy of death.

  in addition, while the reason given for throwing out that toy is "magic", it really isnt about magic. as Sab points out, its about sacrifice for watchtower, and act of loyalty towards the WTS.

  because there is almost no toy, movie, book, tv show, etc that hasent been demanded by the watchtower to be given up by faithful jw's. star wars, superman, harry potter, ET, you name it. and if its not mentioned by named, the guidelines are so rigid, they rule all almost all entertainment. for example, any movie with any violence or magic makes you a lover of violence or spiritism and worthy of death at armegeddon.

  its all about making people sacrifice, the details arent important. there is almost nothing that watchtower doesnt ask you to sacrifice. they want ALL of your time, money, and resources.

  they have gotten to a point that i didnt even think possible. its really scary. they are a full blown mind control cult, slowly climbing up the ladder, not too far behind scientology, and striving for that top spot with Jones and Koresh.

  someone i think touched on this, but think about this, all the time and money that they put into this, and out of all the subjects they chose, they chose to make an issue of the kid playing with a toy wizard. the religion i grew up with is out the window, there is no more docterine, its not only about 1 thing, and that is obey the GB. thats it. and make no mistake, there is no difference between Jehovah and the GB anymore. in reality the GB IS jehovah.

  GB 2.0 really loves to get video time, they are in almost every video. back in the day its not like they were never in one, but now more and more they give the name and put "governing body" in captions. clearly this dvd is only the beginning if he is to be believed.

  Scriptural v legal divorce

  by Inisc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi everyone, this is sort of a long story but i'll try to keep it short.. mrs inisc was previously married, and before our wedding the elders were giving us a bit of a hard time as her divorce was nigh on complete but just wasn't officially finished, however what they were really concerned about was they weren't sure her ex husband had had "relations" as they like to say,as there wasn't enough satisfactory evidence in their opinion.

  this of course made me almost catatonic with rage, especially since we hadn't been to a meeting in about 6 f'ing months and this was what they were worried about.

  and i might add the wedding was entirely booked!.

  Either way it seems they just don't want anyone to find happiness and would rather everyone stayed either in an unhappy marriage or stayed single.

  ding ding ding ding ding!!!! that is the correct answer.

  in my first hall there was a couple who was new in the congregation, they had been married for a few years. the elders decided to inquire about the details of the marriage and when they found out the husband had previously been married. they demanded he provide evidence he was scriptually free, even though in his previous congregation the marriage was approved by that elder body. so he got his ex wife to put in a letter he was scriptually free, and they would not accept it. it was friggin insane. so they DF'd him, and reproved the wife. it was an absolute outrage.

  its all about control, and obeying whatever the elders tell you, no matter how wrong.

  i have a 2 year old, and honestly, i have no problem with what happened. and i have no problem with the sentance. maybe if more people killed people who rape, let me repeat, RAPE their little children, the molesters will think twice about it. maybe im being harsh.

  i think that there has been a crack down on jw's who dont tow the line. especially in the dramas, they are clearly trying to divide jw's into 2 camps. they only want zealots.

  the etan patz story was huge when i was a kid in the 70's.

  investigators found the body several weeks ago, and now this guy comes forward.. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/new_jersey/20120525_neighbors_shocked_that_etan_patz_rsquo_s_confessed_killer_lived_among_them.html.

  2 witnesses or not, it doesnt matter, according to the letter skeeter is referencing, the elders are told to cover up crime and not cooperate with police.
