OK, so I did stand up for a living for about three years. I was alright, but not great. Didn't have that spark of genius.

Freaking brilliant.

Thats a really great piece, i love the way it all ties together. like the setup of going from religious to non at the start leading to having himself contending with his own religion and the shit going on around him. slowly developing from finding out about gossip to hanging out with someone with a more morally loose perspective. Then finally realizing someone else who started in the same place he did has gone down a much darker path than he could previously have imagined... The whole thing is just this great, complex parable for loosing religion or any belief really. No rules are real, your perception of reality is flawed.

It is though, thats true. Dogmatically, it is just another christian cult (they're all cults btw), that involves a doomsday scenario that has nothing to do with reality. The only thing that distinguishes JWs among other christian cults is that it is highly structured, deeply organized, and very insulated and controlling. In other words, its the management and structured organization that makes it seem special, otherwise, its the same biblical shit, just way better enforced.

[@stephanies3246]

foxibot You are 100% correct. I was a Jehovah’s Witness the first 10 years of my life. The focus on “the could end at any minute” put me in a depression so bad I was seriously considering suicide at the age of 8. Thank God for grandma for getting us out of that cult.

Because of the principals you're raised with mostly the kids will turn out alright in terms of avoiding drugs alchol and such vices as well as some criminal tendencies, conducts that some people struggle for years but can leave behind when they come into the congregation.

When Kurt said the thing about pretending that Moses was watching you really felt the wait there I think. He didn't seem I was joking about it and looked a bit annoyed. I wonder just how much he didn't live life when he was younger because of oppressive concept like that. :-( I grew up religious too and still have moments that I don't feel comfortable with myself.

[@jessiesmart3738]

I grew up a witness and this had me dying lol

[@danb.777]

Haha I grew up a JW and have some amazing stories as well. I haven’t been to Kingdom Hall in 35 years but I still believe mainly because Jesus spoke to me when I was 4 years old. For many years I have struggled w not knowing why he spoke to me but for the past two years I’ve accepted it and have made a conscious effort to become at peace with just being a Christian.

I've watched most, if not all of these, and this is by far my favorite. ...what if Moses saw?!

I was raised a JW and left in my 20's. I'm 30 now, and very happy having been both physically and mentally out for 10 years. In no small part, this was thanks to one book in particular. For anybody struggling as a JW, or those who have family members or friends who are still JW's I would highly recommend "The Believing Brain" by Dr. Michael Shermer. It got me out of the cult, and into the skeptic movement. It helped me move from insane cult/ conspiracy thinking to studying and applying rationalist/ scientific methodology and logic. I sincerely hope this book helps somebody as much as it helped me! If you have any questions, please ask, I would love to help anybody struggling with the mental shackles imposed by the cult, and how I broke free. (Side-note: If anybody is interested, I wrote Dr. Shermer an open letter thanking him for helping me break free of the cult in which I detail my story further. It should be the first result if you Google "An open letter to Dr. Michael Shermer")

every time my dad sees a black car that isn't usually at our neighbors house, he comes in my room and says, "don't go into the living room because the witnesses are at Doug's. I'll be in my room."

I love the amount of Jehovah's witnesses in the comments saying like. "These are the only JW jokes I can relate to!" And here I am, everything flying over my head while I'm thinking, "wow...I'm Jewish."
