  Blood Type and Personality

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other day dad was telling me about how the wts used to say that the personality was in the blood.

  today mom brought home the latest magazines (didn't look at the date) and in the "in our next issue" box there is an article asking if our blood type determines our personality.

  maybe they're going to revisit the issue, i understand they never retracted their previous view on the subject.

  So called "Theocratic Warfare"

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard others talk about it but i've never been in the middle of it before until now.

  mom was peeved at me for not being very theocractic (not doing anything wrong, just not being dub enough) and she started talking about how it was with my dad.

  she totally spun a tale to me about how he slowly drifted away.

  i need help with ideas on getting a friend out.

  i need points and information to make to make him think.

  he's teetering on the edge right now but i think he's still a bit afraid that they are right and that armageddon will destroy him.

  More push over "bad assoc." online

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was at the meeting i ducked out of yesterday, mom told me all the highlights.

  apparently they are starting to crack down on online gaming because it lets you associate with "worldly" people.

  this was further extended to chat (which they have been after for years) and online communities.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for some reason they lost my name or something for talks, haven't done one in a year.

  anyway i got assigned one and i sure as hell don't want to give it since i'm trying to get out as is.

  i also don't want to make the talk but there is no way i can turn it over to someone else with my mom around.

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  just curious who went on to associated themselves with another religion after leaving the watchtower and whether you still follow the bible or not.

  i haven't really decided what i believe but i'll consider almost anything not witness related.

  My story - still stuck 'in'

  by Mysterious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised as a loyal dub since birth, taught the religion by my mother who is a strong supporter of the wts.

  my father had been inactive since before i was born, actually he's the one who found this site first.

  *waves at poztate* i never questioned anything i was taught and i memorized by rote what to say to anyone who asked me any question.
