  going back to the late 60's. my born in wife and i married in 68..me 20..she 19. a year later i was best man at friends wedding--they were fairly new to the cult.

  we went on to have 3 kids over the next 10 years--they other couple waited.

  my wife and i divorced in 81--those friends went on to have 2 kids ( ive never met them )

  a lifetime goes by.

  my ex wife now shuns our son --who was d/f a few years ago. she hasnt seen his 2 year old boy.

  those friends ? their daughter left the cult--or was d/f--i dont know which. her father has shunned her for a few years now--she left the UK for Australia.

  my son and their daughter are facebook friends.

  the watchtower society--wrecking families for nearly 150 years.

  We had a very similar thread about this a few weeks ago.

  The figure of 8000 was a mistake. In the article quoted above it mentions a few hundred..Which is more likely.

  Are their " wishy, washy" congregations...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it may be an amazing thought for many but i am sure " wishy, washy" congregations exist.

  i am referring to congregations where the elders are idle in enforcing the g.bs guidelines on control.. i mean let's face it the organisation is an authoritarian regime, that works only if the elders enforce complete obedience to watchtower policies.

  sadly in the congregations i was associated with the elders excelled at enforcing loyalty and obedience.. however with age, people mellow, elders can become more compassionate, even assume the voice of reason?

  Are JW's non- violent

  by notalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, i keep reading something and though jw's do not get involved in national wars, my experience has always been they are very violent people.

  every convention i have ever been to was filled with children being beat within an inch of their lives for just not being able to take a third day of mind-droning silence without being able to move or now even sleep.

  i have seen whole congregations laugh at stories of children being beaten and calling out to "jehovah".

  any cult that promotes their god is to destroy all mankind--except the members of their cult---is likely to attract mentally deranged freaks.

  I have a big nose...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  surprisingly whilst hating being born with this over large nose, women have fallen in love with my nose.

  so with regards to look and charm, what i hated about my physical attributes, many women have found attractive.

  anyway i just wanted to say what we find unattractive about ourselfs, doesn't necessarily mean others do.

  well, that would be an airer.

  it's all in how we hear the spoken word.

  when a little boy, one fellow thought "world peace" was "whirled peas.

  Have you seen the Two Ronnies sketch with Ronnie Barker coming into a DIY-type shop and asking in a Cockney accent for supposedly 'four candles'?

  
  

  there was a member on here a few years ago---four candles. i knew him by different usernames on other sites. from north wales.
