Scriptures that bothered me when I was a Witness
by I quit! ini was just thinking of a some of the scriptures that really bothered me when i was a witness.
one of them was exodus 34:6" "and jehovah went passing before his face declaring: "jehovah jehovah a god merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and truth".
to me this made god look like a little kid with an out of control ego.

Witnesses "Praying" That We Come Back
by minimus inmy mother tells me she prays to jehovah every night that i come back to "the truth".
recently, i did something nice for my extremist jw aunt and she was moved by my generosity.
this is the same woman that refused to acknowledge my presence in a hospital room when i visited my uncle.

Star of Bethlehem = Satan?
by sacolton inhow many of you were taught the star of bethlehem was actually satan directing the magi to jesus so they could report back to king herod have jesus killed?.
when i first heard this from an elder, i started doubting their teachings.
why must they demonize everything that is beautiful in the bible?.

Jehovah's Witnesses Are A Nosy Bunch, Aren't They?
by minimus ineveryone needs to know what you're doing, who you associate with, what movies and tv you see, whether you plan on extended schooling, what you do on weekends, etc.. they want you to account to them.
if they believe you're acting not quite in accord with their standards, they'll inquire about your business.. the elders believe they are literally, god's gift to everyone else.
they expect total openess in every matter including your love life, your goals and your secrets.. like i said, witnesses are so (too) nosy..

"Good" JWs Are Like Terrorists
by minimus inthey don't care if they die, as long as it's for the cause.
they will zealously implement their agenda no matter how unreasonable or ignorant it is.
if "mother" told them to become martyrs, they follow the direction.

Spartacus
by sass_my_frass ini watched spartacus the other day and was reminded of every district convention drama i've ever seen; the style of music, the style of cheesy 'olden times' garb, the way men treat women, the corny dialogue, the way the 'loose' women were supposed to have dressed (they all wore fluoro nylon shifts apparently, with gold braid criss-crossing their cleavage just so), the melodrama, the righteousness... ah the fifties.. and yet, it was still the most interesting thing that happened for three days, at any dc..
