  They wonder why they are losing people???

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have to laugh at how hard they try to bring people in by knocking on doors and rv's - but once the people are in they are pushing them out the back door with both hands!

  we all remember how hard it was to stay there (even if you believed it all) - let alone the head-trips they put you through!!

  listen to this.

  i was talking to a friend the other day, he told me that he wanted to get married but there was a problem with that.

  he told me that he and his wife split over 20 years ago and he does not know where she is.

  he said he has looked and cannot find her so he can file divorce papers.

  we generally hear negative stories about the jws but were there any who did an act of kindness towards you that really helped you out?

  Not whole blood, but individual parts okay

  by daystar in

  2. scandals

  since i am unable to search this forum, i thought i'd ask for help.

  i have heard that the org now says that all the parts of blood are okay for transfusion individually, just not whole blood.

  but i've not actually seen this in any wbts publication.

  I'm new to the forum and desperate for support

  by muse in

  2. friends

  i will be very brief on my introduction as i need to get straight to the point.

  i was raised in the 'truth' from birth.

  i got baptized at 16 (elder dad hassled me) and managed to do the 'slow fade' at 18 (it helped that i moved 50 miles away from home).

  Did you ever feel like you never fit in?

  by Dragonlady76 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was growing up in dubland, i always felt like i never "fit" in with the other kids in the cong or their families.

  i always knew deep down that i didn't like being a jw and their had to be more to life than meetings and field service.

  i just wanted to be normal, like the other kids and have sleepovers, birthday parties, after school activities and christmas etc..... my folks were and still are devout dubs and my dad in particular is the nicest man you will ever meet, he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, no questions asked.

  Did anyone find the DC encouraging?

  by sweet tee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember going to the assemblies and conventions and feeling encouraged by the information that was presented.

  in hindsight, i may have just felt that way because that's how you were supposed to feel.

  i was a 100% brainwashed fool for many years, if the gb said it, i did, i felt it and i believed it .

  Canadians will need a "Passport" to enter the US, starting next year

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read that late next year, canadians who will want to go to the us, will need a passport.. it was so easy to go to the us in the past.

  now, when you cross the border, you need lots of id, and they even ask for you birth certificate.. but, late next year, canadians will need a passport to enter the us.. knowing this, i went to the post office to get a form to fill up, in order to get my canadian passport.

  i was surprised to see all those questions on that form.
