Were you a JW that "bend" the rules?
by Mr. Monday Night ini 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.

Education Bias And Favortism Within Witness Ranks
by The Rapster inlet me just say from the beginning i am not a bitter ex jehovah's witness.
i am simply a kid from back in the 70's - 80's who was completely enmeshed in it, leaving in 1984 after a sham marriage rushed by social and peer pressure within a congregation.
it took two years of a horrible personal relationship to accept that for 20 years i was misled.

Elke Sommers Haunted House "Story"
by VM44 inthe awake!
magazine (or possibly it was even the watchtower) once endorsed this story about the "haunted house" of actress elke sommers.. here is essentially all of the information to found on the internet concerning the house.. .
"actress elke sommers and her husband joe hyam witnessed supernatural phenomena in the dining room of their north berverly hills home from 1964 to 1968. the apparition of a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and tie was seen by guests on five separate occasions.

Any interest in helping write a movie script?
by cab1000 ini am not a writer, but i thought it would be fun to write a movie script in which the plot is that the jw's had it right.
it would follow a family or two currently living as faithful witnesses, a family that is not faithful, and worldly people.
the story would then progress into the great tribulation, and then armageddon, and then the paradise.

So, will Bro. J's "Memorial" be held at the Hall?
by ShirleyW inafter all, remember after the thriller video came out, it was reported that he donated a rather sinful amount of millions to the borg.
that oughtta buy him a spot in the hall for his final appearance, dontcha think?
and if his mother still claims to be in, do you think she just might mention to the local hall in beverly hills to hold his service ?

Michael Jackson as a JW ...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles indo you believe that the jw factor in michael jackson's life contributed in any way to him being a misfit of sorts?.
i'm wouldn't describe myself as a fan of his, but sometimes i just feel so sorry for the poor guy.. and now it's even worse!
he's responsible for children who're probably thinking that it's everyone else who's weird!

Clearly There Have Been Some Changes Since The 80's!
by The Rapster ini'm fascinated by such widespread use of the word apostate in these threads.
has something happened with the term since i began ignoring jw dogma in the 80's ?
it appears a weird turn was taken somewhere in the last 25 years.. such liberal sprinkling of the word must mean one of several things: either the death grip of brooklyn has tightened around followers necks by expanding what an apostate is these days, or many are simply overplaying your card by dousing this most unholy description into everything from watching r rated movies to (jehovah forbid!
