  An African Tale....

  by Nadsam in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my great grand mother "a chain smoker" first got envolved with the jw's just after ww1.

  she never really took the bait but by the 1940's my grand parents were conducting the meetings in their home.

  my grandfather (an elder) raised all his children "in the truth".

  "The Harmony of the Four Gospels" Musical Public Talk

  by seeitallclearlynow in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  minimus mentioned in the "apostates are infiltrating the congregations" thread that the meetings used to be interesting, with skits and such, and you know, i had forgotten that!

  but they were interesting many years ago!.

  we had humorous skits and attention-getting skits, and a lot more slide presentations way back when.. so this made me think of a talk that was very highly requested in our area, titled above.

  Money and career tips for EX-JWs....

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's a safe bet that if you were raised as a jw, or if you came into it early in life, you have some strange ideas about money and finances.

  the wt for decades made even minimal post-secondary education utterly taboo and only recently has capitulated that "some" extra schooling might be neccessary (associate degrees good, bachelors degrees bad).

  the average youth raised a jw has little understanding of investment due to the apocalyptic worldview of the organization (why invest in a dying system when the big "a" is right around the corner?).
