What I want from this board ...
by The Berean ingreetings to all:.
after thinking about it, what i am hopeful of attaining, as a result of interaction with everyone, may be summed up in one word: "disclosure.".
feel free to tell me what makes you happy or sad; where it hurts; how you are intelligent and where you are stupid; if you are angry or appreciative; if you conclude that my questions are brilliant or asinine; evil or well-meaning .... i promise to consider your words without prejudice ... for perhaps you possess a critical missing piece of the puzzling search for contentment.. i, for one, am listening.

Were you afraid to go to a bar?
by rebel8 insomeone who shall remain nameless (*cough*snowbird*cough) mentioned she has never been to a bar.. this shocks me.. i was remembering how terrified i was of going to a bar when i was exiting the mother ship.
i was looking for the lightning bolts to get me.
and it was a big nothing really.

The Casual Importance of JW elders
by BonaFide inso here is one thing i have noticed, and i bet i was like this before myself.. so many jw elders have a sort of "casual importance" attitude at the meetings.
they nod a lot, they have those huge bookbags, they read those society letters during the meetings, they walk down the aisles during the meeting and whisper in each others' ear, they always sit in the aisle seats.
they give the appearance that what they are doing is the most important thing in the world.. even the way they stand, and their manner of speaking reflects that they feel important, but that they are "trying" to be humble even though jehovah god himself is using them.. for example, tonight before the meeting i was talking to an elder about the upcoming assembly.

Ten Signs You May STILL BE a Witness ...
by The Berean in#10) you refuse to eat lucky charms breakfast cereal#9) you attribute your daughters drug addiction to an autographed picture you found in her room of peter, paul, and mary#8) you forbid your children to view a fictional movie featuring adult themes while you conduct a real life home bible study with an alcoholic prostitute.
#7) you will not walk near or under wind chimes for fear of contact with demons.#6) you recently burned a perfectly good set of goodyear american eagle tires.#5)) you blame obvious erections occurring at the kh as young hot sisters pass by on tight underwear.
#4) when shopping for an auto you will not even consider vehicles with objectionable names such as saturn, pontiac solstice, and most certainly not a hummer.#3) as a sister you explain to the committee that satan is disguising himself as a hard penis living next door ... who somehow you innocently just keep bumping in to.

We are "not of their sort"
by The Berean ini suppose there exist endless accounts of events that have resulted in many of us venting on this board.
, however, i believe we can narrow the reasons down to a common denominator .... we are not of their sort .... being a jw does not work for most.
damages occur when those in the environment, inside and out of the family, use a "one size must fit all" concept of spirituality.
