I was surprised today by what I saw a JW driving

by days of future passed in

i was out thrift shopping where my sister lives.

before i went in to the store, i went to donut shop a few doors down.

as i walked up, there by the window was a family and others eating donuts.

Drove around in MG's and open-top Sunbeams in my dubby days. No-one said a word. It didn't occur to me that there might be a problem.

some friends are like a holiday a favorite pair of shoes the scratching post for kitten fingers to caress some friends can really wear you out with their whinging and their blues yet more or less - not worse than all the rest.

some friends are chatty cherubim and others?

I have some great friends whom I love dearly - despite their many faults!

Would You Stop Buying A Product Because of Political Differences?

would you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?

conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?

would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?

snugglebunny

It just gets better and better: Most folk I know aren't racist or anti-gay. They just get fed up with being told what they should believe or feel. That's why I'm certain that this latest ad from Hoseasons Holiday will cost them dearly: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/hoseasons-boss-bans-homophobic-racist-18975111

Yes. I stopped buying Gillette products. It's this ad - or one similar - that repels me. They may as well have just stated that men are dreadful people and have to change. BTW, I understand that Gillette's sales have slumped as a result of the ad.

WT Teaching That You Can't Leave Behind

by jhine in

after posting on another thread it became apparent to me that it can be difficult for some ex jws to totally shake off all wt teaching , even after leaving the org.

do you still feel guilty going into a church for a wedding or a funeral .

can you bring yourself to celebrate birthdays or christmas .

snugglebunny

Nope. Nothing left over at all. A few years back I had a massive rectal bleed which required me having 6 units of blood. I didn't give it a second thought. And here I am feeling on top of the world.

What would happen to your country if you could exchange your president for Trump?

by Wonderment in

what if we could exchange one president from another country to yours?...

say trump for trudeau, trudeau for trump, trump in exchange for your respective european country, etc -- for a few years?

would you consider it a win or a loss for your country?.

snugglebunny

I'd rather have Trump than Corbyn! Let's just hope Boris does a good job. It's time we had a leader rather than an appeaser-manager.

No-one done a video of Wonderful wonderful pioneering yet? (I kid you not, I saw it performed live at an assembly once)

I'm sure Danny Kaye would have loved it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1YMv_qx5Cw&t=5s

Ladies and Gents.... Domestic violence!

by Theonlyoneleft in

domestic violence in the “tooth”... is this a thing?!.

you are starting to know me by now as i’m always full of questions... my clogs are always in motion and never stop... so another question for you to give me some guidance if you can.

based on pasts experience or cases you might heard of or seen, what advice could you give me in helping someone that is a jehovah witness, married with another jw but lives a marriage that is plagued by emotional domestic abuse and financial control?

snugglebunny

My JW ex-wife turned out to be astonishingly violent. However, on one of those occasions when I was spotted with yet another black eye I received a visit from the elders who really helped by telling me that I needed to keep my wife in subjection. Thanks fellas, way to go.

"Gem from the November 2019 WT. Reject apostate material because JWs trust in "their brothers."

by Daniel1555 in

dear friends.

i didn't post for a while, but i still enjoy the great jwn community.. just wanted to share a "gem" from the november 2019 study watchtower.. paragraph 8 from the article "are you maintaining your large shield of faith?".

satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

snugglebunny

For instance, apostates publish lies and distort facts about Jehovah’s organization on websites and through television and other media.

Let's take a moment to talk about Jehovah's organization by turning to the Scriptures and seeing what the Bible has to say about Jehovah's organization.

This could take a while...
