JW weddings gone bad. A story from my old congo.

by uwishufish in

jw
friends

middle tenn late 70s.

first there was the child the high school girl had out of wedlock.

the term rape was bandied about after she began to show.

My Sister married this real winner, his name was George Pinzari...Anyway my father (inactive at the time) knew this guy was going to be real trouble, so he offered him $10,000 bucks to not marry my sister...and to get out of her life!

George said "no way" and told my sister..Both of them gave my father a bunch of shit because of the offer.

I must say I thought it a little strange too. I was a self rightious Bethellite at the time, on vacation.Now I see the pure wisdom in it.

So they got married out in our back yard. It had to be over 90 degrees that day we had wool tuxs on.

Oh, by the way George hadn't sleep in 2 days, he was trying to catch up on all his janitoral work, before the honeymoon...he looked real bad and was very nervous.

So I got a bottle of Jack Daniels and gave him a few shots.

So back to the wedding....hotter then hell...This guy starts giving the wedding talk from hell. Starting with Adam and Eve...we lost our first brides maid 25 minutes into the talk...passed out, fell flat on her face.

15 minutes later with no end in sight, the speaker looks at George (who looks green) and says "Are you alright?" To which George says "No"..

My father stands up and says "Your not backing out of this!".....Everyone laughs. They get George a chair to set down on. A wet towel over his head, my sister standing next to him. What a sight.

After the hour talk it's over. George walks pass me in the wedding procession and says "I'll never forgive you for that."....funniest damn wedding I was ever at.

P.S Six years later when their marriage was toast...and my sister left George, George went to my father and asked him, if the offer for the 10k was still good...My dad chased him out of the house. What a winner!

by new boy in

"well you must have done something really bad to make him so mad at you...i know but...what you need to do is just have another beer and forget the whole thing"....good by.. thank god must women are not putting up with this anymore, from their husbands or religions that really don't care about them.

This bull shit came from the very TOP down.

It is a male dominated organization just look at Knorr and the rest of the "good old boys."

I seem to remember WT articles telling wifes to stay with unbeleiving husbands who were abusive "So by their actions the scum bags might come into the borg too"....what logic!

Be a punching bag for the lord!

What was your first Religious Experience ?

by Casper in

just wondered how others first learned about religion.

i know "born ins" were taught from the start but the rest of us had to start somewhere.

my very first memory of anything supposedly religious was at the age of six... my grandmother took me to a "tent revival".

new boy

I would have to say the first time I ever had sex on my wedding night.

I kept saying "Oh God...Oh...God..

"What a wonderment".

Now he is getting ready to do it again....6 billion people worth....and why?

Because people won't buy his magizines and join his church. Hay! Have you seen some of these people going door to door? God if you want me to join your team, better send me some people that got most there teeth and at least a 3rd grade education....Opps...I forgot you really don't like people on the bright side.

Hay, since he all powerful doesn't he have the power to change people's minds about him and his good people?

Well, I guess not! That could take some time...and hay...it is so much easier to just kill them off..right!

Hitler was a mad man because he killed off only 50 million people because they didn't beleive in him. Whats the difference between him and your "God of love?"....The people will be just as dead!
