  Do you believe in fate or predestination?

  by Dimples in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a jw i always found it difficult not to accept the fact that our lives weren't mapped out for us.

  i believe people we meet in life and things that happen to us are for a reason.

  i feel our life and death has been planned already.

  Elders = Business?

  by Dimples in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it just me or does it seem as soon as a brother becomes an elder, soon after, he starts his own business?

  when i was a jw i remember how brothers were struggling to make ends meet and as soon as they became and elder or ms.....all of a sudden they have money to start their own businesses.

  along wth it comes.... new cars, home improvements etc.

  Why don't jw's have buses or vans?

  by Dimples in

  2. beliefs

  i was just wondering why jw's don't have buses or vans to pick up those in need of rides to the kh.

  mostly all of the churches have buses or vans that pick up ones in need of rides to their services.

  jw's don't and it isn't like they can't afford it.

  Shocking or funny experiences at the memorial

  i remember at one memorial one of the sisters invited someone other than a bible study.

  imagine as they passed the wine and the kingdom hall (you know at this time the place is always silent) to have this person stand up, hold her glass of wine up in the air and at the top of her lungs yell out... i drink this wine for jesus christ who died for me!!!

  another time with the passing of the bread, i had the aisle seat and handed the brother the plate so he could start another row.

  How do you feel when.....

  by Dimples in

  1. social
  2. humour

  ....you read in the paper that one of the jw's you knew died and you are either disfellowshipped or disassociated?.

  do you mourn all alone for them, do you send a card to the family anonymously, or do you just leave things alone?

  i feel bad and wish i could do something but then i have to realize that i didn't shun them, they chose to shun me.

  As a witness did you secretly celebrate holidays?

  by Dimples in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a witness i knew of many who would either celebrate certain holidays in secret or make up for them some other way.

  such as, family day ( christmas ) costume parties ( halloween ), i even knew several who made it a point to go see the fireworks on the 4th of july.

  my mother told a wife of an elder that she always felt weird on mother's day for not sending a card to her mom, because her mom expected one.

  Unbelievable experiences at assemblies or conventions

  by Dimples in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what experience at an assembly or convention caused you to raise your eyebrows in disbelief?.

  one that comes to mind is a 5 year old conducting several bible studies.

  wasn't it hard enough for an adult to get a bible study?
