  Saturday afternoon part: Kind Elders. Now that one is funny. Why do the Elders need to be reminded to be kind. Don't they have Jehovahs holy spirit?

  They will deny, deny, deny they predicted 1975! They have been for years. It was all the R&F mistake (as usual).

  Another "reaching out" guilt trip this weekend, apparently.

  by OneEyedJoe in

  2. bible

  i just got word that the brothers of my congregation is "encouraged to attend a special meeting" this saturday.

  i was told to bring the od book, and the 9/15/14 and 4/15/15 study wts.

  judging by the articles in those, it's going to be another guilt trip to get all us dead-beat kids in our 20s and 30s to "reach out" to be jr. cult leaders.

  Gee, I wonder why no one is reaching out?

  Cry babies don't last in the Fire Dept. He will NEVER work in the Fire services again. These guys know your reputation before you walk in the door.

  Maybe he is filing the law suit so he can pioneer. If you can't hack the work sue or go on government assistance. It's the JW way!

  Setback

  i saw this coming since my mother-in-law's funeral .... the congregation's "love-bombing" over my wife had its impact.

  i watched her drawing closer and closer to her friends in the congregation.

  then she decided she would attend the memorial.

  What Things Did You Not Talk About as a JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you have to lead a secret life as a jw.

  you're not supposed to over drink, go to night clubs, enjoy worldly concerts, etc.....sex, though is really taboo.

  you could never freely talk about your sex life.

  I didn't talk to much. I didn't like the feeling of being judged. We always seemed to be the couple who just listened and gave advice. If you ever notice, most JW's are too busy running their mouths, i.e. "I'm pioneering, so and so (usually their kids) are pioneering, serving at Bethel or Need Greaters. Who has time to talk? It seems like everyone (even family) had to one up you all the time. No time for listening.

  To this day most don't know why we left. Some are perplexed (nosy) but as usual, we are NOT talking. It's driving them crazy and we are having a great laugh.

  I wouldn't call it a bad habit but we are REALLY enjoying life to the full. No more weird feelings in our stomachs that something just isn't right.

  I drink less, now that I am out. Funny huh?

  Not really bad habits but some positive changes.
