  Your Opinion(s) of Others

  by StinkyPantz in

  scenario: you meet a person and like this person.

  all of your friends tell you to beware of the person.

  do you ignore their warnings and give your all to the friendship or are you more cautious than you would have been otherwise?.

  2. bible

  so many people that i have contacted or emailed show the same fear as well as i do.

  now that we have backed away from the wts many still want to hide.

  i have contacted several people that are in fear to reveal themselves.

  hi mole - It may take years to overcome the WT indoctrination, and the phobias they have implanted. It is a constant and at times painful process.

  Its been helpful for me to read the threads here and learn about the abuses of the WT. Many xJws feel as you do.

  Great post, OCW!

  I was very depressed growing up in the troof. Now that I'm out i'm less so, and still working on "issues." I try to be in the moment and see the beauty in every moment.

  Do You Have Any Unusual Experiences???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you have any unusual experiences while you were a witness?.......i was working out in service with an old brother who was as zealous as anyone i ever knew.

  he would knock on the door a number of times, ring the bell, knock on the window and ring the bell again.

  if he believed someone was home, he'd wear down the householder to open that door.

  so THAT's why my lawn is so brown... wonder if the elder had prostate trouble?

  Once, my FS partner stopped a teenage girl walking down the street to offer her the mags. The girl was polite, and while listening to the sermon, stepped backward into a pile of dog turds. We tried to tell her, "watch where you're stepping," she didn't seem to hear us. She kept moving her feet nervously, (probably wanting to run away) and smeared it all over her shoes and the side walk.

  While we were talking to her, our FS group caught up with us, and one of the elderettes went right up to her and said, "You're stepping in dog poop." The girl turned red, but continued to make polite chit chat because my partner was on a roll. We finally said goodbye to her so she could go home and clean her shoes.

  I just got off the phone with TeeJay

  2. friends

  some here may have noticed that recently teejay and i got into it a little bit on a thread i started about the locking of threads.

  about two years ago teejay and i got into it a few times in other threads.

  as much as i thought teejay was an intelligent guy and i have always gotten a kick out of his sarcastic sense of humor i still thought he loved to stir things up and take a few unnecessary jabs at people simply for the sake of jabbing them and causing trouble.. teejay called me tonight.

  The first one I did, I wrote "I don't Know" next to nearly every answer. in later years, I passed notes and doodled. the hall did get very quiet, didn't it? it was kinda nice....

  i don't mind feedin' the wildlife as long as i'm dead. it has a cylic finality to it... you feed the next generation of carrion eaters, scavengers, insects, grubs, etc... and a part of you lives on in them.

  I worry about the thousands that will be baptized in the third world this year. How many years before witnesses in these countries find out they have been sold a myth?

  Well said, jgnat. BTW, who's the babe in the photo? Is that you?

  What's The Silliest Rule That You've Seen In The Organization Or Cong.???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one congregation in the 70's allowed only white shirts to be worn on the platform.

  if an out of town speaker didn't know the "rule", it was ok. the brothers kept a variety of white shirts in different sizes in case that happened.
