81 Year Old Sister Decides To Telephone Witness On A Whim
by minimus inbecause the elders would not give her her own territory, an 81 year old sister has decided to use the phonebook and call anyone she wants to, because an elder's wife suggested it.
she is a very confused, illiterate woman.
she told my mother, today, that it wasn't that difficult to randomly pick a page and start talking about the kingdom.

What did we talk about?
by seattleniceguy ini enjoyed a thoughtful discussion with a friend last night that lasted into the wee hours of the morning.
we two xjws talked about things like direction and purpose in life, religion, and the like.
about three-quarters of the way through, it struck me that this conversation would have been impossible only a year ago, when we were both jws, because we were objectively discussing these matters without regard for what the official jw party line was.

Actually, SNG, I had a similar discussion with my son during a lunch break today.
I remember when I was younger and my wife and I went out with other couples, NONE of the topics were interesting! Unless you consider sister so-and-so telling you how many studies she started that day, etc.
As a matter of fact, it's my belief that most JW's have an arrested development in the conversational arts. Since most of their thinking has already been "done" for them by the WTS, how can it be otherwise? I am reminded of the mother bird, say a robin, finding a worm, chewing it up for her little babies and then depositing it into their waiting mouths.
Except with the baby robins, at least, one day, they get to find the worm themselves!
Most of them live their lives in such fear that they don't dare have an opinion on any topic. (other than the party line) It's truly sad. Because most of them probably would consider themselves "educated" and "well-read".

Gee, Gently, thanks. I'll check those sites out myself. It so happens I'm married to a Mormon lady. She's absolutely great! She doesn't practice the faith anymore, kind of inactive I guess. But she said if I'd accompany her to their meetings, she'd like to start going again.
Maybe I can gain some insights into the religion from those sites. Kind of an "outside in" look.

generation change
by littlemike inhello this is my first topic on this forum.. i left the jws 18 months ago and am still recovering.
it was after reading crisis of conscience that i was brave enough to leave although i had serious doubts before i was always scared in case it was right!!
and i was wrong.. however when they changed the generation in 1995 that caused me great trauma as i had accepted that as absolute fact and based my life on it.

First of all, LittleMike, welcome to this board!
I was already out in '94 so I don't know. I make it a point NOT to read their publications anymore. At any rate I'm glad you're free and I wish you a speedy journey to full mental health. Something it's impossible to have in the Borg.
Good Luck to you, and post often.

They want my heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and corneas! At least that's what the lady asked when I renewed my drivers license today. Would I like to be an organ donor?
I'm not sure if they ask everyone this question, (so there's no discriminating by age) but do they only REALLY want young body parts? I mean, hey, some of these parts have quite a few miles on them. Actually all of them do.
I'm interested in what others think about this. Are you a donor? The little pamplet they gave me states that they can also use your veins, thin layers of skin, bone, blood, ligaments, tendons and cartillage. Can you believe it? I may be worth more dead than alive, hell I'm sitting on quite a stock of all of this stuff.
So, what should I tell 'em, part me out, or not?

JW counseling, 2004 style, over sodas and pizza
by onintwo inthis actually happened!
a couple weeks ago, my wife and i stopped at our favorite pizza shop after furniture shopping all day sunday.
settled in at a table directly across from us was a nicely dressed young couple and a similarly dressed grey haired gentleman.. he had a bible that looked strangely familiar, so i kind of (horrors) eaves-dropped a little.

Funny, Gary!
But, seriously, on that topic. Did you know that almost all self-abuse goes unreported?
