Do you think "Blondie" is addicted to reading Watchtowers and Awakes?

by booker-t in

i remember when i was a "devout" jws i could not wait to get the new watchtowers and awakes from the wednesday nite theocratic ministry school.

i would actually salivate thinking of the new information jehovah had in the magazines for us.

i was "franatical" and i would go home still in my three piece suit and devour the magazines that very nite.

One thing I've realized over the last 10 or so years that I've been here is people leave the JWs in many different ways. Some of them leave and work hard at becoming regular worldlings, some of them join new religions, some of them become fanatical apostates, some of them enjoy disecting the religion they once belonged to, and some of them enjoy helping others leave.

We were all at one time in our lives supposed to make Jehovah our number one priority. Now, we have the freedom to choose something to replace that number one priority with anything we want, and if Blondie truly enjoys reverse engineering the Watchtower articles, then all the more power to her!

i like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.

but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

Nosferatu

and lol Nosferatu....I think you need a dramatic entrance and a pity story to get the butt kissing?

Hey! I tried! Although I will admit it was a feeble attempt. I'll do better next time ;)

And without kissing butt, I welcome you to JWN! Feel free to send me whatever you used to put into the contribution box ;)

Niece: I'm too young to date!

my 20 year old niece and my mom are the only jw relatives i have.

her mom got kicked out for smoking and my brother ended the marriage because she was a bitch anyway.. but it's really unfortunate that my niece had to be dragged into the jws.

i really wish my brother would have put the brakes on it more.

Especially with the JW mindset, marriage is sort of a thing that a young person can be tempted to shoehorn into their lives with the wrong person and far too soon, especially because it's the only way they feel they can experience sex.

The biggest problem I see with the whole JW dating life is that typically you do NOT end up dating multiple people, and therefore you don't learn about yourself and what you actually like in the opposite sex. When a JW starts dating, their hormones take over all brain activity. They're not allowed to masturbate, and not allowed to be remotely physical with each other unless they're contemplating marriage. Logic goes out the window, hormones run rampant, and each of them goes home with wet underwear. Then they're not supposed to masturbate to relieve the sexual tension. They feel guilty for doing that and their only way to relieve the sexual tension is to marry that person ASAP.

On another sad topic, whenever my niece decides to tie the knot, I won't be attending the wedding. I swore to myself that I would NOT enter another Kingdom Hall for any purpose. Not only that, each of the parties in the marriage are supposed to put Jehovah first. They're not supposed to truly love each other and are conditioned to judge each other's actions.

Nosferatu

it is gossip, and not right, but I don't think anyone wanted to hurt you, so I would not take it personally.

I think one thing we have to remember is that most of us were at one point JWs. What do JWs do? They gossip about each other in the Kingdom Hall. They're trained to do so with labels such as "Sister Harlot is spiritually weak", "Brother Wanker is inactive" or "Sister Shortskirt is bad association". They're conditioned to compare themselves to others, measuring how spiritually strong they are to others in the congregation and how likely they'll be to survive armageddon.

The ones who compare themselves are competitive, and the ones who fall under those categories are the ones who could use a non-jw or an ex-jw to let them know that whatever's keeping them away from the meetings is justified.

I personally think everyone knows who they are, but they don't know how to become who they want to be. I honestly think that's just a band-aid to cover the whole "Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to date until they are mature" statement. If she writes that, it looks bad to all her worldly friends. By writing what she wrote, it makes her look bright and intelligent, and the responses all stroke her ego. It makes me want to puke. She truly doesn't know anything :(
