  When are book studies held?

  by little1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would like to know if there is a certain day that book studies (i.e.

  the group reading of the book of daniel, etc-all jws together) are held.

  when i was dating the jw he always told me book studies were on friday nights and so he couldn't see me on friday nights (unless he wanted sex on a friday night.

  this was in today's paper and i thought some might be interested in contributing to sara's fund.

  it is a great loss for a child to lose a dad.

  my heart goes out to the family.

  i hate to start a new topic when i'm about to have to go back to work, but i want to know why jws don't celebrate new year's?

  the first year i dated my dub boyfriend he took me to a (worldly) friend's house for an all out new year's bash.

  we had a great time.

  i read the "what offends you?

  " thread, but i think i get more annoyed than offended by things.

  there's a difference.. here are some things that annoy me.

  Why am I being haunted by JWs??????????

  by little1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my 46 years i have known a lot of people.

  only one time did i become involved with a jw-and that for 3 years.

  since we broke up i find myself constantly confronted with them in both my personal and professional life and i can't figure out why.

  does money talk in the cong?

  by little1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw i dated had lots of money and seemed to take the religion pretty much a la carte.

  when it was to his advantage he'd play the religion card, but he seemed to get away with a lot.

  by that i mean he owned and flew an ultralight, spent lots of time at the airport with non jws, slept with me (although they didn't know that), traveled to europe 2x to take his non jw mom to france, spends a lot of time visiting his mom in fl.

  question about the memorial

  by little1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a non-jw my perception is that they invite everyone they know to the memorial and then a count is taken that night, and the number reported as "the number of jws worldwide" -when some poor clucks (like my unsuspecting self) aren't jws at all but are counted anyway because we are there.

  if this is the case, doesn't that mean their count is a lie, and don't any of them get that?

  am i wrong in perceiving this to be the case?.

  Were you treated differently after you were baptised?

  by little1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw i dated hung around for 14 years before finally being baptised (i don't know how he got away with that).

  i've heard that the way they treat you changes after you've signed on the dotted line, that the gloves come off and they start turning the screws.

  i'd like to know if this was true for any of you and what your experiences in this area are.. thanks, little1

  2. beliefs

  i?ve been a lurker for awhile and a member for a little while, and i?d like to tell you about myself and why i?m here.

  i was looking for information, comfort and explanations for what happened in my life and i?ve found all that and more here---thank you all so much for your contributions, words of wisdom and humor.

  3 years ago, almost 4, i was a divorced mother of 3 just getting my life together after having been married to a raging alcoholic for over 13 years.
