Saturday morning field service is a joke

by hoser in

i havent been going door to door saturday mornings for since i can't remember when.

i have been putting in regular reports to the congregation but the last time i actually went on a door was probably six months ago or so and it has been at least 2 years since i did a saturday morning.

9:30 we showed up to the group arrangement, we waited outside because we were not sure that it was the right place.

It was an eye-opener when the CO (Azar) openly made allowance for breakfast breaks during the meeting for field service, "getting your vitamin T for the morining (convenience store tacos)" he called it. Geesh, it looked like he ate them all!

Why are alot of JW's Fascinated with Sci-Fi?

by NoMoreHustle in

i am still in & gradually fading.

i have always wondered why alot of jw's that i know are really into alot of sci-fi stuff like star wars, i robot, x-men stuff etc.

i mean they take it another level with this fantasy stuff.

NoMoreHustle, this is very true in my locale. Last year a pre-teen kid (of JW parents) won the costume contest at our area's Comic-Con with a pretty good redition of the "demonic" Edward Scissorhands character! Another sister that attended dressed as Princess Leia was later counseled by the elders for "idolatry".

What will the next "witness" fad illness be??

by stuckinarut2 in

as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.

i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.

instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.

As one sister said, "I got bi-polo!"

If you look closely, the Hulkster is shooting the finger in the picture.

My JW friend turned down the "privilege" of working the literature table at the park. Why?

by MissFit in

i have written before about my jw friend that plays hookie with me on sundays.

we skip the meeting and go straight to lunch and margaritas.

she converted later in life and has been a jw for over 25 years.. she is in her late 70's and has had heart problems.

The battle axes I've been around are probably shaking their righteous heads wanting to throw down some mags and quote ten ole testament scriptures at every door like they've done for years.

jw.org madness

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

more and more jw.org special campain pictures made by the r&f flush over the internet.. it's crazy how this jw.org madness becomes a phallus inside the witness world.. observing it from some distance, it is clear: jw.org is the central theme of the current witness beliefs.

every step they make, is for promoting jw.org.

when they speak, they only speak about jw.org.

Datadog,

you really hit the nail on the head with that comment, ah, post. That one was deep man, thanks.

the insanity of Sam herds talks at the convention

by purrpurr in

i've picked up two that stood out to me but i'm sure others will have noticed more:.

he gave an illustration about fearing god and he said it is like a wife who has spent all day preparing the evening meal for her husband and she hears him come home and perhaps she is trembling a bit out of fear that he might not like the meal she has cooked for him....!!!!!!!!????.

the other was about verbal abuse and how it should not be used but rather than site the effect it has or the forms it can take he said that we shouldn't call each other " dumb dumb" or "knuckle head" .

JustVisting

@ Hamsterbait, "wife-beating time at the OK Corral", funny but I don't think that would happen not in a Thousand Years! Sista Herd be saying, uhuh, you don't like it you can make it your damn self!
