  What was the first single you ever bought, and what are your memories?

  some light relief!.

  even now, i can vividly recall buying my very first 45 rpm single in 1967.. i was only just 15 years old.

  i worked as a 'paper boy', delivering newspapers to people living nearby.

  My first record was not a single. I bought an album. "Louie, Louie" by The Kingsman, at the age of 6. I was even cool then. Rock on.

  What makes the GB better than the average JW???

  at a past convention i went to a bethel meeting during the lunch break.

  it was geared towards young people who wanted to dedicate themselves to bethel service...yuck.

  anyway, as the boring program went on, an older brother spoke of how, if you went to bethel, you would be living with the gb.

  I am glad that you are so happy.

  I have moved on.

  But I have to ask, why are you here?

  Apparently things are not so peachy in your JW world!

  You are branded as evil for even being here, you could be disfellowshipped for being on this site.

  So what is going on?

  One question, can you give a rational explanation why the WTS allied itself with the UN for a decade? They have proven themselves an Apostate Organization!

  What silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?

  so what silly things have you been counselled on or simply been told off for?.

  back in my early 20's, i had a pair of comfy old jeans that started to tear in about 3 places on the leg.

  it was the fashion at the time so not only did they feel great to wear, they also looked 'in', not that i cared for that, but it was a bonus .

  Oh boy, I just thought of another one. Or two or three or four or five.

  Which one first?

  Okay, I will spell out a few that happened when I applied to Auxiliary Pioneer once. A pioneer Elder in my congregation encouraged me to pioneer with him one month. The A-holes that had to decide if I was worthy ambushed me halfway into the month.

  They drug me to the basement of the KH for a meeting. I went willingly.

  The first thing I was accused of was being slovenly. I said, (not in these words), WTF? The elder in charge, basically accused me of being slovenly. I countered as the smart ass that I am, that my tie cost more than his suit, so where is this coming from. (I had on an Armani at the time). Then he deflected, and said my hair was inappropriate. My hair was groomed to normal levels, but is naturally spiky. I showed them a recent, at the time WT, that showed a JW family, with the father's hair just like mine. His response was, "Oh, you mean the Latino brother." I asked, because he is Latino, his hair is okay, and mine is not?

  His response was, that I should style my hair as the elders do in my hall. My response was, "Do you want me to get a reverse mohawk? I am not bald."

  He said I should not have my hair spiky, as it normally is at that length. I said whatever!

  Then the big Dick on the committee said that there was one other complaint against me. That I was heard using the "F" word. Not the one you are thinking of. It was the word FART.

  I asked him if he had ever used that word in the privacy of his own home. He admitted that he had.

  At this point I said I really didn't want to pioneer any more. They encouraged me that I could still get in the hours anyway.

  I took the rest of the month off.

  Not only that, the next meeting I went to, I gelled my hair with the equivalent of axle grease to be a smart ass. I got complemented by the Dick. He is the same asshole that groped me as a child. Uber elder run amok!

  Here is a ridiculous one. I saw that the Ministry School was scrambling to find someone to fill in for a talk at the last minute. I have no fear of public speaking, so I volunteered. It was a number 3 talk. So I asked a sister to be my householder, and went for it. The talk went well, but the other elders got their panties in a bunch because a BROTHER cannot do a number 3 talk with a householder!

  I asked why not? "Just because."

  JWs and Multi-level marketing

  by belbab in

  someone, who was a jw a long time ago, sent me a message promoting an expensive cure-all drink called noni from tahiti.

  i thought i would do a research on it and found out it is an expensive multi-level marketing scheme.. i found an interesting quote at the following site: (it is evident in the text that the witnesses are jehovh's witnesses).

  jk666- the really sketchy years-part 4. a lot of what i am going to say here, is piecing together fragmented pieces of my memory.

  i really was a good kid that fell into bad circumstances.. i was the fair haired boy in my congregation.

  i was a true believer, even after that awful incident.

  Decades help. I survived. I just want to help those that are not quite as unfortunate as me. Shit, I have a lot past this corner. But that is okay, If anyone gives a shit.
