Except when they are talking about a street wise person. Its really not the word but its the absolute insulting way its said. It reminds of a scripture where a jew is praying and saying how grateful he is that hes not like the scum of the world. Funny how they always miss the point.

New York Post 3040 of 7105 Since 1/13/2005	To be totally freethinking, to be totally free of external punishment, and to still be a morally upright person....that is a true test of morality. I don't need a group of elders or a possibly nonexistent man in the sky to threaten me with punishment in order to "behave". I don't need constant reminders in the literature and from the pulpit telling me punishment will happen if I'm bad. I don't need to see others be publicly scolded and shunned either. I am not about to "misbehave" spontaneously the moment mommy isn't watching. Those are all signs of immaturity. I "behave" because I want to, because I have given deep thought to all my options and have determined my own course of action without coercion.

England Post 153 of 796 Since 10/4/2004	Coming from someone who was regarded as being "worldly" even though I wasn't I would say the difference between a worldly person and a dub is a personality. I wasn't a wet stepford type in a suit and tie, i was ME Side tracking a little, if ever i needed to see an Elder I always preferred to take my problems to an elder that had come out of the world, someone that had retained a few of those rough edges as opposed to a dub that had been grown in some cloning tank. Anyone else have a preference like that? (Apologies to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th gen dubs out there )

Post 6 of 980 Since 1/17/2006	None taken I STROVE to have an independent personality, which is really noexistent in dubland. All that comes to mind right now is that movie "The Village". When I saw that movie, I knew that I had to dissapear.All I had to do is look around me and see the difference. Also when my dad said "Well.. we just CAN'T blow off steam like "worldly people" though, son." Ya know... you gotta wonder why.

Colorado Post 3609 of 4178 Since 12/15/2004	Min... In your question....lies the PROBLEM! "Worldly" is a JWism that is totally misapplied. It DOES NOT differentiate between a "believer" and a "non-believer"...but rather deals with QUALITIES the ANY person can display. Anyone can act "worldly"...especially the Dubs! And that's according to both their own and their Bible's definitions. Perhaps a better question would be...What's better a good "pagan" or a "bad" christian"? u/d

Post 156 of 611 Since 1/24/2006	Vitty, I read your post, and agree with you. Many times I have same though about their prayer "Thanks God we are not like the scum of the earth " It is so sad. Many times a person very close to my heart told me: I hate you !!! But they read thousand times in the Bible " Love God and your fellow man " . I guess the words have no effect on them. They can qutote this to people but is not in their hearts. They are like robots. I was so scared many times to see brothers and sisters to talk like that. Where is the love ???
