Remember Your First Taste of Freedom?
by Funchback init's around 10am here in the northeast of brazil.
i have just finished having coffee and a light breakfast.
i am reflecting on my saturdays of jw past, where i would be just about ready to leave the morning field service group and go door-knocking.. honestly, i hated every second of field service, always keeping one eye on the clock, counting down the minutes until service would be over.. 12 years later since i last "preached", i am also reflecting on the sense of freedom i experienced (and still experience) when i definitively said "no more!

Another JW Urban Legend Thread
by Funchback inthreads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.
they are loads of fun to read.
how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

Tony Morris Shows Off Engraved Gold Ring with Turquoise Birthstone(?)
by Funchback inthe july jw broadcasting camera zooms in on tony's ring at around the 8:30 mark here:https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201707_1_video.
maybe it's not a big deal.
maybe it is.. in my opinion, it's being kind of flashy.

(Not so) Subliminal Shave Your Beard Message
by Funchback ini'm in the middle of dissecting the june 2017 jw broadcasting video.. in the first minute, they summarize a story about a guy who apparently was a one-time bad ass (showed a picture of him with a beard while posing on a chopper).
then, they show him shaving at the exact same moment the narrator is saying how he regained "a clean conscience".. this no-beard obsession by the jws is beyond nuts.. .

KISS - Knights In Satan's Service
by Funchback ingrowing up as a jw, i was told that kiss stood for knights in satan's system (or service).. i just did a google search and learned it's not true.
it's actually not an acronym for anything.. to be honest, apparently it's not just the jws who believe it means something related to satan.. http://www.snopes.com/music/hidden/kiss.asp.
one day paul [stanley] and peter [criss] and i were driving around, brainstorming for new names.

Obey the governments...wait...DON'T obey the governments.
by Funchback ini was thinking about how they jws are having underground meetings in russia and other countries giving total disregard to the laws established by their local governments.
i assume they would pull the "we're followers of god, not men" card.. but then on jw .
org they have this:two children of jehovah’s witnesses, expelled for conscientious stand, return to school.

Jehovah's Witnesses proselytizing in schools
by Funchback inthis happened in brazil.
it's taken from a blog and it has been translated by me from portuguese to english.12 jun 2017 - jehovah's witnesses obtained authorization from the municipality of redenção do gurgueia (pi) to proselytize in the elementary schools of the city between may and early june 2017. .
officially, the witnesses did an "educational work", with lectures, videos and they supplied study material.
