All sacriligious joking aside, I do really like how religion can be a forum for sharing in ways people don't otherwise get to share. Many are attracted just out of a desire to "express" that they are a good hearted person that loves. I've met a lot of highly religious people who don't believe in god any more specifically than i do.

WHAT IS JW VIEW ON TAMPERING WITH A WITNESS?

by badboy in

jw
friends

would such a person be disfellowshipped?

Bring_the_Light

Oh! are we talking about a witness in court?

Got a bad joke for you. If there's more than one JayDub in the courtroom, the clerk calls for a witness to the stand, what do they do?

MY CARER(TODAY'S) STORY OF ENCOUNTER WITH A JW

by badboy in

jw
friends

she talked about armaggeddon happening in the next year(methinks).

left a book about bible questions.

I've noticed that the soonness of such predictions is used amongst the faithful and meek to illustrate who's most faithful. A good witness thinks in their lifetime for sure, a pioneer in the game for a good witness match will bet on a decade, anyone determined to be judged most holy by their peers will cut to a year or so. Its kinda like an end-of-world game of chicken. You gotta have the stones for it.

They don't like it, especially the witness you're tampering with.

Nonono, it goes like this:

"What does a JW call 10,000 non-believers dead in Myanmar by an act of God?"

A: "A good start."

A Question For Christians..what would you do if........

by chrisjoel in

jw
friends

given the chance, if we made contact with an extraterrestial life form that came to dwell among us for even a short period of time, would you preach the gospel of jesus to it with a view to possibly baptizing the "alien" into christianity?

.

Bring_the_Light

Nope, Jesus came here to die for us. If his species goofed it up and lost their chance at life, then let another messiah go die for them on their planet.

Spaghetti Monster Damn IT!! BAH! Tired of the hypocrisy beat me to it. I would have added a "neener neener, we have a messiah, did you guys get one yet?" .... Soo my addition will be.... umm.... Alien: "Greetings Earthling, we have come in peace" Me: "So, this is interesting, welcome to Earth, *small talk* etc". Alien: "So, uhh, you guys figured out what life is about yet?" Me: "Nope, You?" Alien: "Nope..."
*awkward silence* Me: "So ever had baby back ribs? I was thinking we could go out to Applebees, toss a few back and catch up on this "there is life out there" deal. Sound good?" Alien: "Sure, does Applebees have Grain Belt Premium on tap?" Me: If not, we'll go somewhere else.

New family situation, and I'm HOT!!!

by bluesbreaker59 in

ok, so this morning i get a call from my aunt (active jw), in a panic.

she's telling me about what happened to her this weekend.

apparently my scumbag of an uncle (non-jw, he faded) came home drunk, and pushing her around, raising cane, and apparently hit her a few times.

Bring_the_Light

BLUESBREAKER- What the hell ? Your aunt shouldn't be facing a JC for any charges her a$$wipe of a husband should , for christ's sakes ! I'm with Quirky here - there is never any excuse for pounding or hitting a woman ! The husband should be sitting in a committee meeting as we speak - that's how fast they should pull his a$$ into one ! Not only that if he struck her - she would really help herself by pressing charges of assault - then they'd put him in jail where he belongs !

I dunno, pretty sure in JWland, she still owes "wifely dues" between beatings, or else when he cheats she'll be JC'd for that too. Best bet is to put out, learn some defensive boxing moves, and pray he slips up and does something divorcable. Yep, that's what a good christian would do.

Certain Expressions That Are Silly

by minimus in

jw
friends

what expressions get you going?.

i like "it's all good!!!

".

Bring_the_Light

"Chyah!" - when used in internet debates.

"Wooo!" - when used in internet debates (for some reason I find it really sexy when girls say "woo!")

"BOOYAH"

.... I guess I like noisy words, Wooo!

Fantasizing about the end of the Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Bring_the_Light in

i'm pretty new here.

after being on my own 10 years, i'm finally coming to grips with my past (which i previously just ignored/didn't think about).

thanks for existing everyone, its been very existential.

I'm pretty new here. after being on my own 10 years, I'm finally coming to grips with my past (which I previously just ignored/didn't think about). Thanks for existing everyone, its been very existential.

This phenomena of hearing other people chant my own thoughts with the same amount of aggrivation and angst has me thinking about things totally different. I'm fantasizing about the end of the Jehovah's Witness religion or at least an extreme retraction which will lead to a big "BOOYAH" to race through my heart. I know everyone predicts its on the rocks, how rational is that? I really see hope for being around to watch it all come apart. More hope than I ever personally held for Armageddon coming in my lifetime.

So, should all we Ex-JW's be preparing for the "mini-Armageddon", ready to comfort and protect the swarms falling out of the flock soon? or is it realistic to think this crap will just grind on until "time indefinite"?
