  What gives you away as a (former) JW?

  by perfect1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these days my jw past stay safely under wraps from nearly everyone.. i dont dig it up- and i see no need to talk about it with anyone.. sometimes i feel as if my past is a large and terrible secret, and i will be found out eventually.

  people can sense i am different.

  i never talk about my family.. i guess people chalk it up to being a private person or let me be a mystery.. however, there is one thing that i feel completely reveals me as having been raised a jehovahs witness:.

  Great thread topic.

  I used to suck at wrapping presents. But I figured out a couple of tricks and now I truly rock at it.

  1. Buy good paper. And will be expensive. But it is worth it.

  2. Use ribbons. Everyone raves about a ribbon. But don't jst cross it over. Be creative. Experiment

  3. Buy everyone on your list one the following: books, books, DVDs, CDs, books, etc. These are all square and are the easiest to wrap.

  4. If the first three points above don't wok, juswah buy a gift bag.

  Those posts that mention not having friends really caught my attention. I am in the same boat. I work with blokes who have great lists of mates and they all go way back together. I've got none of that. I would love to have a big old birthday party just once in my life and have all my friends there with me to celebrate...But I don't have any!

  Swearing and cussing took along time to perfect. I got a lot a funny looks at my non-traditional cussing technique. I had to really work at it and almost force myself to swear. But I got it down pat now.

  I never tell people that I was a jw. Too ashamed of it. I view it as a profound moral weakness, set permanent stain on my character.

  i regret not getting disfellowshipped/da'd

  by Django_Unchained in

  i'd particularly like to stick it to the woman who gave birth to me by sending a da letter to her congregation, though admittedly i wasn't part of hers when i stopped going.. say i were to send the letter to her cult hall, would the letter be read during the announcement?

  how does that work?.

  Simple. It's chance.

  I bet when you really stop and consider it carefully the overall proportion of birthdays in August won't be as high as you perceive it to be.

  Atheism is scary to you Americans.

  Office Building larger than Noah's Ark

  by VM44 in

  2. bible

  .

  this three story office building has more square footage than noah's ark did.. do you think it is big enough to hold all the "kinds" of land animals along with enough food for them to last a year?.

  could you fit all the animals from a small zoo in it, and expect them to live in it for a year?.

  The horrific deaths of millions of people along with the extinction of 99.99999999% of all other life.

  So entertaining. Such joy.

  If you were a District Attorney what charges would you charge Jehovah God with?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my friend hector who is an ex-jw had me laughing so hard i started crying when he asked me this question.

  i was over his house for coffee one day and somehow the subject came up and he said jehovah has to accept some of the blame for the problems of the world.

  he said if he were da he would charge jehovah with child endangerment and child neglect(killing all of the children in the flood, sodom and gommorrah, 42 kids with the bears in the ot) he also said he would charge jehovah with flip flopping on his own laws such as you can eat meat(after the flood) then certain meats were forbidden(leviticus laws such as rabbit, beef, duck,) then nt said you can eat all meats again.

  Astounding!! That will show those smug atheists.

  I especially like the quote from the NASA official when he said there are no atheists at NASA now.

  It also shows God's prescience, his ability to know the future. He wrote some of the tablets in English. And English hadn't been invented yet!

  Thanks for sharing Excellency.

  i was listening to an episode of radiolab on blood.

  i thought the last section would be interesting to jws.

  its about the big business of selling blood.

  JW's are quite literally parasites. They are happy to to use up the blood that others have donated, but they will not contribute any themselves.

  They are taking advantage of the good grace of their fellow humans. This is a completely morally bankrupt position, an absolutely disgusting double standard. The jw's wrap themselves up in a cocoon of self-righteousness and an insufferable attitude of superiority when in actual fact they are nothing more than slimy leeches sucking the life blood from society.

  Sorry jam - I was being a smart arse.

  You are absolutely correct. Poor old Satan's got the world's worst PR company working for him.

  He always gets the rap when stuff goes wrong. God keeps getting away with murder!
