  last weekend witnesses came to where i work....i work at a barbque restuarant (hey it's fun!

  ) i recognized two elders before they came in and freaked!!!!!.

  the elder obnoxious was at the register and i was sure he did not recognize me.

  except breathing.

  Pretty sure there is a JW and "worldly" way to breathe too. Not sure, but seldom does one find something you can't do by JW standards. For instance if you had a chronic congestion that impaired your speech and interfered with your ability to preach, or was just audible during meetings, a dutiful dub would have no qualms about letting you know that Jehovee requires you do something about it (starting with feeling bad about it, followed by some kind of compliance with Jehovee's directive).

  profanity

  by janitorforlife in

  my disfellowshipped dad told me leaving "the truth" had not been good for me as i used too much profanity and liked to drink.

  when i first became "free" i guess i went overboard with profanity and enjoyed the freedom to go to bars if i wanted.

  they were novelties.

  Dropping the F-bomb isn't nearly as offensive of JayDub usage of the J-bomb. :oP

  I wonder how many JayDubs are excitedly wading from their destroyed homes praising Jah for this sign of the last days?

  Watchtower "Lights" Up Their Lives

  by Farkel in

  i've commented offhandedly about this subject a number of times in the past, but it is worth discussing because it speaks volumes about the jw religion and the cognitive dissonance that is endemic to it.. dubs are never satisified with their "current light.

  " they weren't satisfied four decades ago when i was active, and they are not satisified now.

  they won't come out and say that of course, but we all know it is true.

  Reading Orwell's 1984 right now, I'm astonished they don't have a "memory hole" back by the contribution boxes where you put outdated literature... Other than a few minor variations, they seemed to have used Orwell as a blueprint. Its absolutely astonishing. I want to attend a two minutes hate now, just to study the thing.

  Republicans already have played the race card. The Rev Wright fiasco was all about insinuating that Barak was some kind of angry Negro boogeyman pretending to be an uncle tom for political expedience. Every mutherluvin' one of the presidents could be associated with crackpot hateful speaking religious types (antigay, antiliberal, anti anti anti yadayada) Rev Wright was news because it was about race. To illustrate that Barak is part of some crazed black agenda. People in the Black agenda hate America (attacks on Michelle for "not being proud"). As I'm sure we'll see repetedly in the coming months, Barak is right! :oP

  Witnesses on the train

  they are having their dc here in calgary at the pengrowth saddledome so this morning the lrt train was full of them.. what a spectacle.. guys in ill-filling suits (on a roasting hot day) and 22 year old women dressed like they are 42, all with their silly name badges and yapping on loudly (much louder than anyone else ever talks to each other on the train - i guess they have to be conspicuous eh?).

  little did they know that sat just feet away from them was an evil apostate ... ooooh.

  Not how I'd run my cult!

  imagine you were a consultant hired to revamp dub world.

  your goal is to make dub world more appealing to keep r&f happy and in (not bring real religion or get people out, run the cult more effectively).

  what things are so dumb you say "not how i'd run my cult", and what is your better idea?

  Attn: WTBTS! What are you so afraid of? Hmmmmm?

  i suspect that you have entrusted a few "spiritually minded," "faithful" brothers to quietly monitor the so-called "apostate" websites in order to do damage control later on via the form of "new light.".

  well obviously the development of the internet has been a tremendous thorn in your collective side.

  guess what!

  I'd like to suggest everyone adds 1984 by George Orwell to their apostalibrary. I'm reading it right now and I'm convinced Orwell was an Ex-Witless. Goosebumps, every page. That book glows and vibrates with Light. Bring_the_Light
