  Is it always wise to forgive and forget?

  this is a news story about a molester who is a witness.

  what shocks me is the attitude of the rest of the congregation.

  I don't know about the forgive part. Probably healthier to forgive. But when dealing with a sociopath it's much safer to never forget.

  Besides, just how is a person supposed to learn from the past if you're also supposed to forget it.

  Watchtower / Awake mags at home...

  did you ever display yours in the kitchen.....living room...bathroom?

  seems like every j-dubs house i've ever been in had some kind of jw literature laying around (most of them had dust on them or were not current!

  ) was this to impress other dubs?

  No, we never deliberately put any of it on display. But there was so much literature needed to be a JW that it seemed to be omnipresent. I'm still finding stuff and it's been close to 15 years since I've acquired any.

  P.S. I hated driving with anyone who put mags in the back window, it was so embarrassing. But, they got to count time that way. Same thing for putting the mags on the table when stopping for coffee.

  buller & yalumba.

  no, it's not another olympic pairs figure skating team.

  these are two australian producers that have been working on a pretty high level for years.

  Were you ever ashamed of another JW?

  .

  in the field service, i was going door to door with an elder, and he couldn't stop spitting on the ground every now and then..... .

  once at a ball park, i saw a 75 year old ms watching a ball game, and he took napkins to wipe his bench because it rained and it was wet, so he wipped his bench and threw all the napkins on the grass instead of walking to the garbage can about 30 feet away...

  Nearly everytime a group went for coffee break. Especially when more than one group went to the same place.

  There were a few "brothers" and "sisters" who were embarrassing at the doors too. I hated when I got stuck working with them. One older sister I had to correct in front of the householder. She was just too far off the wall.

  need some suggestions on what i can do mentally, or physically if applicable, to pass the time.

  i actually thought of having another kid just so i'd have an excuse to walk around and not listen to the crap but of course they dont announce the assemblies 9 mos in advance normally.

  any ideas?

  I don't munch anything. Like Brooke, I don't want my ass to get bigger. Sometimes I have a glass of wine.

  What a blast!

  this morning was the morning after the night before at the get-together at the apostates' restaurant.. such an animated crowd with instant friendship.. yep, many came with at least one thing in common, a realisation about the trith about "the troof".. and how appropriate we should be just down the road from bethel.

  let's hope they heard - the inmates would have been sooooo jealous!.

  there was dark knight with friends, jwfacts and his friends - didn't they have a tale to tell!

  Sounds like fun! I'm jealous too. I can just imagine a group of exJWs together. So much to say and so little time to say it in.

  P.S. hope this isn't a really stupid question, why do you call it the Apostates Restaurant?

  Somewhere past numb~

  by alamb in

  as a loyal jw, i was ready for my whole world to come to an earth-shattering halt and for life as i knew it to be gone...at the hand of my loving god.

  i would sit in school in my mental bubble and numb myself to the world around me.

  i grew older and entered the adult world and was aloof in my thoughts that i could not attach myself to any workmates or neighbors and put out my hand in friendship as they could be dead tomorrow and i would have to be ok with that.
