Do You Think Disfellowshipping Is The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by minimus in

the longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.

i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.

while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.

kingdom halls

by inbetween09 in

this weeks meeting features a video about maintaining kingdom halls.

it mentions a few times, how kh belong to jehovah, and are dedicated to him.. anybody ever wondered, if they belong to jehovah, how come, they are being sold all the time?

can you give something to jehovah and then take it back?

You can always tell whem jehovah no longer wants your kingdom hall..he stops attending the meetings.

Ravenna Kingdom Hall

by Lynnie in

another kingdom hall sold off in seattle.

this kingdom hall has been around forever but it's in a very desirable location in seattle by green lake so i'm sure there will be lots of $$.

lots of merging of halls here in the puget sound area..

Kingdom Hall Renovation

hi all, quick question related to renovating k halls.. my in-laws live in another city and the two congs there are in a ten week process of completely renovating the hall.

the plaster board has been taken off, all the toilets and air cons even the roofing iron and insulation are being pulled out and dumped to be totally replaced.

it seems like overkill to say the least.

sounds like the building is being tarted up a bit to fetch a better price..or maybe it didnt meet some local building regulation that could deter a buyer.

when i was finally branded an apostate--and my wife filed for divorce--for my adultery --in 1981---i went to live in sin with "the other woman": she had been d/f because of our affaire.

Her plan was to get reinstated--preferably with me getting back "in the truth" as well. fat chance of that. after a few months living with her--i moved out and rented a place of my own.

( actually--that was the first time in my life i started to live totally on my own....i had lived at home with my jw parents till i got married--aged 20...and a typical jw virgin couple.)

it was a whole new experience for me--living alone--no friends--and no job either.

a while later i got a job, and it was suggested i try an advert in the " lonely hearts " page in the local newspaper. ( no internet dating sites then! ) i was inundated with replies. what then started was a whole year of unbridled debauchery.

Remember when we lodged in private homes at conventions?

by FatFreek 2005 in

i bring this up now because i haven't seen any postings about that practice because i got out in 1977. when did wt quit soliciting private homes for accomodations?

or have they stopped?.

i hated it, but it was the only way we could afford to go.

in the UK--1959 i would think. Twickenham. the first big assembly i went to with mom. dad didnt go--i was 11 years old.. mom and i stayed in a large old house--the small room i slept in was full of old blankets covered in cat hairs. i was asthmatic. perfect.

i have no recollections of the assembly. the last thing i was interested in was sitting listening to someone banging on about religion.

what most certainly did interest me--was being on Wimbledon raiway station when a big express steam train came hurtling through. i managed to persuade mom to let me stay at the railway station each evening while she went to get her god fix. i was there each evening till it got dark... train spotting. my idea of heaven.

can you imagine an 11 year old kid alone all evening on a station platform these days ?
