32Want to hear something funny ?
by troubled mind inmy husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

Years ago there was an extremely attactive woman in my parent's congregation. She was browbeaten for being beautiful. The elders were constantly telling her she was dressing too sensually, etc. But regardless of how much dowdy dressing she wore, her beauty overcame it and the Witnesses didn't know how to deal with it. She was married with children as well. Not sure if she is still in as I believe they moved away.
To the comment about beauty being in the eye of the beholder, I can verify that. I have been told I am pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, attractive as well as ugly, overweight, and unattractive. * Heaven shrugs her shoulders * . Whatever.

Kinda scary, considering that dialing 9-1-1 (particularly when one's life depends on it) requires the use of an electronic device...
Vidiot, you are so correct. This is why he is in a nursing home now and not allowed to venture out on his own. I didn't even get him a phone in his room because he doesn't have a clue how to use it and can't get to it. Dementia has a way of creating Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses whether they like it or not.
I suspect his status with the Borg is 'inactive' at best; I'm pretty sure he is no longer considered a Ministerial Servant.

Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?
by rebel8 ini'm atheist and not ashamed of it.
however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.
i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

Only if people play the religion card with me. If people don't go there, I don't either.

fastjehu 3 hits for "latest gadget"
Thanks for those references fastjehu, and the other ones you found JW GoneBad.
Seems the doublespeak applies to this as well then. Counsel not to get the latest gadgets, but then pressure to have them to keep up with the KM presentations and jw tv
The browbeating continues.

Even if my Father's life depended on it, there is no way he'd be able to use an electronic device or go out in Field Serve-Us.

I tried to make an elder feel guilty for shunning his 2 children.
by Jeannette ini ran into an elder the other day at walmart.

How is it so many jw are 'sickly'..? It is my observation that jw as a group are the unhealthiest people.
zeb, when one marinates oneself in toxic ooze for years it is bound to affect your health.

Glad you went and had a great time.
Oh, and I bet no lobbing off of heads occurred either.
I've attended a number of birthday parties in my 51 years of life and NEVER, EVER have any heads been chopped off. No deaths have occurred whatsoever.
