What was something that you loved but were denied as a JW?

by Chemical Emotions in

i could go on and on about all the things i loved, but i'll keep it brief and just mention one, rather trivial thing: music.

i love grunge and punk, and occasionally heavy metal, and can't listen to a lot of it as a witness..

I would have loved to have lived on my own before getting married. However, my parents were adamant that JW girls never leave home, unless as a bride to a proper JW man.

Very Sad!

My 95 year old grandmother said recently ..."It sure has been a very large corner"

JW nephew graduation party cancelled... your insight is requested

by Alfred in

jw
friends

i have a jw nephew in another state who was at very the top of his high school senior class this year.

because of this, my sister (an elder's wife) had planned and sent out invitations to his "graduation party" which would be held at a community center with all the bells and whistles.

i actually bought plane tickets for my wife and i to attend this party immediately after receiving the invitation in the mail.

My heart goes out to the poor boy. This is cruel and harsh.

Gee, all my jewelry comes from Kohl's or Target. So I would have to set the value at around $2.00

Growing up a Jehovah's Witness - New Video

by jwfacts in

i have put together a video - growing up a jehovah's witness 1960 -2010. it aims to show the things a witnesses would be taught as they age over those decades.

it is 15 minutes long.

this is my first attempt at a video and it took a while to work out how to use final cut, so please feel free to make suggestions if anything should be changed.

me and my wife,a non jw,took her 3 year old country cat to see the vet in edinburgh, i left her at the vets with the cat and went to work, i gave her 20 pounds and told her to get a cab into town to meet me at work.

the vet removes the chicken bone from the cats throat,{the little bastard stole it ,when we were not looking} anyway she gets a bus with cat into town,cost only 1 pound, she does not get cab she keeps 19pounds.

typical, only the cat manages to wriggle out the basket,on princess street, terrified runs helter skelter accross 2, 4 lane highways, avoiding buses taxis,ect, my wife terrified screaming down the phone at me,to come and protect and save her beloved cat.f__k ,my whole world was collapsing before me, i prayed that kitty would live, my wife is sensitive, and she would have been inconsolable had the kitty died on her watch, so i ran out of work, drove through red lights, and prayed,that the little cat survived.

More on Saturday's drama: Endo-symbiotic theory mentioned not once but twice

by sir82 in

jw
friends

i don't want to give a full synopsis of saturday's drama, for fear of inducing stupor among this thread's readers, but.... .

the drama deals with a jw family with 3 kids, 2 of whom are in various stages of rebellion against all things jw.. the older brother is one of the "rebels", while the younger brother is a thoroughly annoying piece of brown-nosing crapola, completely buying into the jw mindset.. anyways, the younger brother is asking the older brother about why he doesn't want to attend the family study any more.. the older kid's rambling answer touches on something along the lines of "i'm learning things in school about how life really came here.

it's not as simple as you think!".

Thanks for posting that MM!

"In this system of things"

by Sour Grapes in

it just drives me freakin crazy when my wife and.

her friends say things like "well, in this system of things.

we will never be caught up in our work at home.

Magwitch

My mother is always talking about this rotten system of things in every other sentence.

I was riding in the car with her last week and she was honked at and flipped off. So the usually reply is "Oh, this rotten system of things".

Hmmm..."Ever wonder if it could be your rotten driving mom?"
