hi friends ,.
is it just me or do others on this forum like to know where posters are from ?
what country state or region you are from ?
i live on the Isle of Wight ( correct spelling )...an island off the south coast of England , UK.
the local Kingdumb Hall--one of the first quick-builds, sold for about half a million pounds in recent years. the few dubs that were still going now share another hall ( a former church!!) with 2 other dwindling congregations.
how is it right that the watchtower can hoof out the congregation--sell their hall from over their heads--and now make them attend a former church ? it stinks.
besides growing up in the religion, why do you think people turn to jehovah’s witnesses?
.
what made you become a witness?
they think it will get them a visa to america--paradise on earth.
following the daily covid19 briefing, in which boris johnson defended his advisor dominic cummings for travelling to his family estate after showing symptoms of the virus, the civil service official twitter feed posted the following.. .
the tweet was quickly deleted.
i can't overstate how unthinkable it is that the service should publicly criticise the government of the day.. boris' defense of cummings is a huge error in judgement and will destroy its credibility.
the English consevative party can do whatever they like ! there's nothing anyone can do about it. They had a massive majority in the most recent election. there is no effective opposition to defeat them in any vote.
Do you mean the UK exjw.reunited site?
i did this in my facebook group for my podcast and it was fun.. so what's the craziest thing you ever saw?.
for me it was watching a brother have a heart attack during the meeting in the auditorium.
i was a kid and noticed him shaking and acting strange.
Bro Walker was a lovely chap--from the Caribbean. Every body loved him. His only fault--he always overran his platform assignments. he was always getting counselled for it, but it made no difference.
one evening--in the min school--he was well into his talk--when ding went the time up bell. He carried on regardless. Ding for a second time. There was no 3rd time...the min school servant--and another bro--walked up on stage---each took hold of one of Bro Walkers elbows--and marched him off the stage. Riotous laughter. Even Bro W saw the funny side.
thats true--i was there--i saw it. i was Mag/terr servant and a reg pio at the time, about 1967.

Plus the brother giving his first assembly talk all about the flood. And how the people laughed at Noah until the flood came and drowned the bloody lot of them!
ha ha ha--i heard that one too--back in the late 60's. only it was the Red Sea crossing then.
hello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.
i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.
at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.
welcome to the site.
it sounds to me like you have had a very lucky escape. how about a change of job...in a new location...make a complete new start.
is it me who thinks this.......jw pimi or pomi women lack natural affection toward there children, family and human's.. it must be the indoctrination that strips these emotions.
i see it in my wife all the time, when she talks with non jw people she is like "meh" i got to talk with you.. when she talks with jw people, she has a cult emotion like "yes my people" .
she is screwed in the head, the more that time goes by i want to leave her and get a divorce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aint i the lucky one. i gave my wife the perfect reason to divorce me--and she did !
40 years ago!
everyday that goes by i thank my lucky stars that our sons' want nothing to with this cult.
she has set such a bad example of what a christian is, that is also what desuades them and keeps them thinking its a cult.
by what actions?
like my 1st wife--a born in. She totally shuns our son because--like me--he decided it wasnt for him ( in his 30's).
He has a great life--lovely wife and family--successful business and all that goes with it. just no mother.
when they come to your door knocking... the best way to preach back is.... handing them a comic book when they hand you a watchtower magazine..
you could ask them pretty well anything about their beliefs--chances are they wont know the answer and give you a leaflet directing you jay-w organs
