I got to give a speech at the University of Louisville today about JWs and Propaganda

by dubstepped in

today my wife and i went to college.

although not allowed to go to college as jws we got to lead a class today and it was really special to be able to do that.

the class was an honors class on social media and psychology and i created a presentation around the propaganda and manipulation used against us as jws.

Nice!

There are a lot of similarities between your story and the Queequegs.

We especially relate to the idea of better quality friendships. Holy smeg it's nice to have real friends!

Anyway, well done... again.

Hey dubstepped, I get it!

You both did a great job. My critique was minor and probably unnecessary!

Very well done both of you!

I'm a little jealous, because I wouldn't mind using my JW speaking skills for something like this.

Plus, my wife works at a local college, so we could definitely have an "in" to do this. But, at the moment, because of her family ties, I think I'd have to take it on solo. But, maybe not! I'm going to send her your video.

My only critique is, even though dubstepped does a great job... and I know my wife would be happy to defer most of the speaking to me, because it's not her thing (even though she is absolutely capable!)... The presentation would have been freaking more amazing with a little more input from Mr's Dubstepped.

JW.ORG at the grocery store.

by Queequeg in

today while i was having my groceries checked out, a lovely woman came up next to me in the line.. i glanced over at her... her face screamed "i'm a pain in the ass!

" she was obese and frumpy, and (i know maybe i'm projecting a little too much here...) she seemed to exude a sense of superiority, like, "i'm too good to be around these losers.".

i paid for my food and made a point of being especially nice to the checker because i figured her next person was going to be unpleasant.. as i was gathering my things, the checker asked this lovely woman, "is plastic ok?

Queequeg

Lol!

OK, if observing that someone who is dressed sloppily, has an intensely bitchy look on their face, is obese and is dismissive when she responds to the friendly checker, is bad advertising for any organisation, makes me a judgmental asshole... I respond, "Guilty as charged!"

I'm not quite sure why that puts your knickers in such a twist... unless maybe my description landed a little too close to home for you.

Maybe she's a sweetie pie and just had a really bad migraine. Perhaps she was sore and uncomfortable from the good stiff rogering she had the night before. It doesn't matter. In my opinion she wasn't representing JW.ORG very well. If you disagree, that's OK with me too. Maybe that demeanor works well for you.

Anyway, keep on keepin' on!

Helping your Spouse wake up

by HappyBlessedFree in

has anyone had success in helping your spouse to wake up?

i’m thinking of showing my husband jwfacts.

he is starting to do his own research using wikipedia and google.

The "slow drip" method worked for my wife.

Also, it worked for my parents.

It's getting close to a decade since we walked away from Watchtower world.

As I was gathering my things, the checker asked this lovely woman, "Is plastic OK?", the response was a dismissive, "Yeah, sure..."

I glanced over at the unpleasant woman and noticed a large "JW.ORG" lapel pin floating on her chest.

I walked away with a big smile on my face. I thought, "What an amazing way to advertise your religion!"

Keep up the good work! Advertise, advertise, advertise!

Is Being a “Manly Man” a Bad Thing?

by minimus in

jw
friends

so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

men should be less masculine.

Queequeg

This is a great thread!

On one hand, I really find the "alpha" male wannabe, asshole type of exaggerated masculinity to be ridiculous.

On the other hand, as a fairly large, Neanderthal type, hairy bastard, who happens to like to do some things that are considered "masculine", I laugh when people with this strange bias against masculinity automatically categorize me as something that I'm not. A couple that I was building a house for, were shocked to realize that I was spending my lunch breaks playing with their kittens, lol. They ended up naming one of them after me...

I don't feel guilty for being a male, and I don't feel like less of a male for going to the ballet, opera, or loving to cook.
