i cant remember the last time i saw someone who was a dub when i was still in it. I know lots have died. If i did bump in to one i would say hello--why not--if they blank me--they've lost.

The length of a public talk

by Farmer Jim1 in

does anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?

i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.

fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

when i used to do public talks--an hour log jobs--no script just a theme.

The habit then was to ask a member of the audience to read out loud a bible verse. I used to pick anyone nodding off to sleep.

Ive often wondered if i had given a 30 minutes talk--then smoothly repeated it all for the next 30 mins--would anyone have noticed ?

Former Elders Please - Disbeliever recently married to a JW

i recently married my best friend of 32 years.

she is a life-long jw and once an active pioneer, i am a 'worldly' person through-and-through, always will be.

we married because it was the only way we could find a way of staying together while giving her a path back to her religion ultimately, which she does not want to (or cannot) let go of.

well--they cant disfellowship YOU--can they. So YOU do the answers.

But--dont worry--they wont go ahead with it if youre there. You would be the wrong kind of witness!

Are you in Croatia by any chance ?

one thing i WOULD definitely do--if it does ever end up in a committee enquiry---is INSIST you accompany her. You are the head of the household--even if your not a JW.

but--your married ! Of course everyone expects you to live together. I doubt if an elder will ask her if she had sex before marriage--its none of their business.

She might get frowned upon for marrying an outsider--but she hasnt broken any laws.

ive given this more this thought

in your OP you said " She's going to make a confession about or relationship and it's past + details quite soon and she's prepared to be DF'd"

so no one has accused her of anything at this stage--she hasnt had any elders nosing around--she hasnt been invited to a committee of 3 ?

So why doesnt she just keep quiet--and get on with married life. She can attend meetings if she wants to, and if she wants to pioneer again ( barf)--then she will find out then if she is in good standing--or not.

if it were me--i would go to each elder involved in this and tell them--individually--that if they d/f my wife--i will hunt them down and beat the shit out of them.

but then i am worldly.

POLICE

by BoogerMan in

on halloween night, police arrested two people who were dressed up individually as a battery and a firework rocket.

they charged one and let the other off.. police in london are investigating the theft of dogs throughout the city.. they don't have any leads.. i found a large box filled with kodak 35 mm camera film, and handed it in to the police.. they said they'd let me know if there were any developments.. police recovered a valuable stolen microscope.. they say they're looking into it.. yorkshire police can't establish what's wrong with the sat-navs in their new fleet of squad cars.. they're still looking for leeds.. police are investigating the theft of a perpetual motion device.

they say it's an ongoing inquiry.. the old ones are the best!
