  Those JW pins and Jewelry

  i'm not surprised but i must admit to a little eye roll.... looking at some photos on my brother's facebook page, i stumbled on a picture of our mother.

  it took a few cycles thru the photos before i realized that mom has a jw pin on her top.. not surprising, but wanted to share.. we have not spoken in a long time.

  for a while she was calling me every couple of weeks from her cell phone in the morning.

  Circuit Assembly outline

  i've been out of the religion for a little while now but my family is still "strong in the truth".

  i got a call today asking if i could stop by to have a discussion.

  they just had their circuit assembly and this is typically when they decide to talk to me, while they're spiritually energized hah.

  Did none of those things, I just survived anyway. But I slept during the last two speeches.

  check it out.

  literally the message is if you don't pay attention at the meetings you could die.

  how insane, i feel like this must wake some people up..

  Field service and assemblies are the absolutely worst. I have stopped doing FS, and I havent been in the ministry school for many years now. I said I get so nervous out of it.

  What is that tower there for? Looks like a typical church tower to me. Do they have bells in it too?

  Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.

  by kneehighmiah in

  the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

  but i would say it's hard for brothers also.

  i was talking to a jw last night.

  This sounds exactly like me!! So you single brothers out there, now you know who to contact :D

  In my opinion the best mate for a JW is a 'casual' brother or sister. Better yet look for a bystander witness.....they stand around but don't get involved.

  They arrive late for the meeting. They don't show up for FS very often. At assemblies they don't waste time listening to the talks they get up often and prowl. They make a statement with their grooming and cloths. They will look you in the eye and elsewhere.

  If they have returned from a vacation their tan is noticeable. If you ask them how did they like visiting the local KH while on vacation they look at you like your crazy.

  They work or go to school full time. They never read the publications and seldom open their bibles to follow along with the speaker.

  They never say 'amen'.

  Double-life, sounds like a prison sentence....or maybe not?

  by sparrowdown in

  question: do you think the "double-lifers" have the best of both worlds?.

  just asking, because i have wondered, if i had an outlet to express my utter.

  disgust and general dissatisfaction with wt teachings and cong-life while i. was still in, ie on forums etc, maybe i would never have left.. just a thought, anyone else have any?.

  Living a double life I can honestly say its not the best of both worlds, since I dont find much in the JW world uplifting. I would leave immediately if it wasnt for a few friends and family. So I am having the worst of one world and the average of the other so to speak. Living a double life until you are 67 (as one in this thread) doesnt seem very fun, I am thinking that I must leave somehow before that age. But sometimes I am thinking thats its maybe good to have some insight and inside information in this cult, anyone feel that way?
