  i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

  once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.

  and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

  so, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

  haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .

  we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

  in the most recent circuit assembly there was a lot about porn and warning against porn.

  even warning against looking at swim wear adverts!

  so i was wondering, is porn really such an issue in the wt?.

  Why are there more sisters than brothers at the Kingdom Hauls?

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  i have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?

  some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.

  or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?

  going back 50 years i was in 3 congregations. most of the women there without husbands were batshit crazy. their husbands--if still alive--were only too glad their wives went to the meetings...

  Any information about an apostate from the 30s?

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here in spain we have just had a special visit from the central branch representative (well i'm not sure what his position is) and in his talk he mentioned an episode in which an apostate and his supporters were expelled from bethel in the early 30s under rutherford's rule.

  i didn't catch the name, it was something like "shutter" or "shulter".

  this event was mentioned to bring attention to a woman who was very close to this apostate and just because of that she was unfairly expelled from bethel as well, but she was "humble" and "content" enough to leave the matter on jehovah's hands and she was reaccepted in bethel after a while.

  After leaving the JWs - Has anyone stayed with Christianity?

  by rulehayl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recently made the decision to stop studying with my study conductor, due to a situation i found myself in that led to a high possibility of my unbaptized publisher "rights" being taken away from me.

  i have since told my study conductor i have joined a new church (to which she dropped me like a hot rock, of course).... last time i posted on here, i was progressing nicely towards baptism, and was well into it.anyhoo, i like my new church, very hillsong-esqe.

  so just wondering if anyone else has stayed the course of christianity after leaving the jws, and if so - where did you go?

  "DO NOT look here! Seriously...just dont!"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  ok, so you all looked here??.

  this thread is prompted by losch's stupid 'decrees' in the march 2018 broadcast, where he denounced online information that may be 'negative' about the organization.. it strikes me that the gb are so dumb!

  the moment someone says "dont look at something", human curiousity will make most people look.

  this morning my doorbell rang.

  i opened the door thinking it was a package delivery person or local politicians thanking my community for voting in yesterday's election.

  there was a middle aged man standing by himself.

  Mary Magdalene - Movie Review

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so mrs cofty and i went to see the new movie last weekend on the gospel story told from the perspective of mary magdalene.. the first ten minutes are excellent and then jesus turns up and it's all downhill from there.

  it was pope gregory who decided in 1591 that mary m was a penitent prostitute, even though the gospels contain no such reference.

  was she the mary from whom seven demons were cast or was she just unlucky to share a name with a different mary?
