Where I am from "the friends" is a somewhat old-fashioned term that the oldies tend to use.
It seems to be making a comeback though amongst some of the uber spiritual.

"The Friends"
by FeelingFree ini have only come across this term very recently on jwn and in an "apostate" video i watched yesterday.
never have i heard anyone refer to jw's as "the friends" here in the uk.
is it just used in america?.

The local has a cruise-gang of about 10 of them, they go on a cruise together several times a year. They have a WT study on the ship and everything.
I couldn't imagine anything worse, they often come back nursing grudges from the falling outs that occur on-board.

@watcher- thanks for your concern, but if I wanted a relationship with God I don't need the JWs as an intermediary. That's what Jesus is supposedly for.

If you strive for "success" you will almost certainly fail, if you strive for excellence -success is guarranteed.
Public opinion is a fickle mistress, the subjects that titilate or enfuriate seem to evoke the most response.

Will the Societies tighten their grip even more with the power slipping?
by thedepressedsoul ini think its pretty clear that the gb are power hungry.
you cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power.
it showed the clearest with anthony morris.. now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away.

Have you been J-SNUBBED? HOW RUDE!
by sparrowdown ini got to thinking the other day about how the wt uses loaded language.
and spin to give thinly veiled credence and so-called respectability to their policies.. but why not call a spade a spade.
why not identify the true nature of a policy,.
