The spread of religion through history
by snare&racket inwhen growing up a jw, i was always confused as to world history, geography and religious development.
it didn't make sense, because what we were told was simply untrue.... http://tinyurl.com/purzy8k.

Disfellowshipped at 18
by asensier inyou can probably guess how this story goes.. i began dating a non-witness boy.
he knew i was a baptised witness and understood the consequences i faced for dating him.
we agreed to keep our relationship secret, which was easy considering our 200 mile distance.

I've not been there you are yet, but it's a real possibility in the future.. I'm sure our welcome messages will help towards overcoming the goodbye messages. Do research, (jw facts is a perfect place to start) then sit back and realise you guys have got your entire life in front of you, at least you didn't waste 40 years . take care matey..

Great game, I'm going jw with this one. You can tell he wants to grow a beard but doesn't want to upset the almighty sovereign of the universe by doing so. Micro-expressions you know. -

Ran into some JW's.......but this time I did the teaching ;) x
by snare&racket inso i went out today with my broken leg and got accosted by an old lady, with some magazines.. it was my first ever encounter with a jw in ten years, and i had said 'i know you are jw's, i'm not interested thank you.
" twice.....then she started talking about my broken leg and how wonderful we are made and how amazing the healing process is.... and that's when it all started...."i used to be a bethelite pioneer, now i'm an atheist doctor...".
she was with me a good 30 mins, her elder husband left very annoyed but she stayed, and she was dying to hear everything i spurted out, despite aggressively defending every point, from military engines to paedophilia.

Fun at The WT This Morning
by OneFingerSalute inso ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.
14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".
after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

why gb asking for money?famine in land
by poopie inwhat do i mean well when there was a famine in israel david inquired of jehovah, jehovah told him that the gibeonites were not being treated right so until david fixed the problem of how they were being treated jehovahs blessing was withheld from the nation jehovah does not change until we start treating people right by not shunning them and anouncing sinners names from platform as no longer jw jehovah will not bless the efforts of those promoting unloveing behavior

Poopie, I like the original idea, it's certainly a valid parallel, and we know how we jdubs enjoy types and antitypes!
Ultimately though, I suspect that it shows more aptly how the scriptures can be cherry picked and interpreted to say whatever one wants them to say.

I'm sure there'll be a lot of umbrella action this summer, it's only just starting to get warm!
I intend to enjoy lots of olive based evening meals in the garden with my loverley missus if the weather allows it, if it doesn't then I'll book us a flight to somewhere hot for a coupla weeks and we'll do it there!
