  woo hoo....JW Mom is coming to my wedding!

  by AuSet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....my whacked out jw hardliner mom just informed me this morning that she and my entire jw family will be coming to my wedding on oct. 1st.

  this has come totally out of the blue as previous to today she did not give any indication of caring one way or the other whether i got married or not, and had said to me a couple of times "oh, i'll just stay and watch over the food.

  i think my more liberal jw sister has managed to talk some sense into her at last.

  wierd JW sister experience

  by AuSet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was walking in uptown mpls on hennipen ave....last weekend, with my jw sister, her jw boyfriend, and my fiance..... there was this lady sitting on a park bench reading what looked like a new awake rather conspicuously , i was about to yell out to her "are you counting your time or what?

  " when i noticed a small table she had set up on the sidewalk with some very old jw wts on it, and some other old literature..... my sister sees it and quickly sidesteps it as though she had been shocked...and she said to her jw bf while sucking in her breath loudly "ooooo....that's apostate literature.

  wait a second...i said loudly....am i to understand that you just called the jws own literature apostate?

  Old JW books & Apostate literature

  by AuSet in

  i had a funny experience at work the other day.

  i'm working at a christian college for the summer as an electrical apprentice....we've been in the library for the last couple of weeks, and i happened to discover several old, old jw books (the old paradise lost book, and many others) right alongside of crisis of conscience, and several other "apostate books" .....whoo hoo, was i excited!

  all the jw literature had taped written warnings on the outside of the book covers, saying "do not read for any purpose other than to study the jw religion!!

  Setting a good example for your JW fam...

  by AuSet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this came up in a conversation the other day, and i'm wondering if any of you have ever thought about this.

  now that i'm an apostate, i've come to realize that that term is not synonymous with being a total screw-up.

  in other words, i haven't really succumbed to all of those "bad" things that i was told would happen to me if i ever left the truth.

  eating the emblems AFTER memorial...

  by AuSet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sorry this is a little late for a memorial post, but did any of ya'll eat the emblems like it was just ordinary food immediately after the memorial?

  they always did this at my kh, even the elders would be handing it out and we always would fight over who got a piece of the "bread.

  " this usually occured out in the parking lot after most of the new/interested people had already high tailed it outta there.

  beauty, brains, money....no luck!

  by AuSet in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my sister, who is still in, has just recently graduated from college (four year university) with a good degree and has landed a great job.

  its likely that she will never meet a jw man who is completely compatible with her, as she is educated, smart, and makes more money than about half her cong.

  combined.

  new exJWs

  by AuSet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just a message for anyone who is newly df'd, da'd, or otherwise inactive...also to anyone who is in contact with those exjws who may not be in the best mental state right now.

  the events which occured yesterday were very frightening, especially to those whose minds are still infiltrated with wtbts type thinking.

  there are many jws out there who currently think this could be the start of the great tribulation.

  Pow Wow

  by AuSet in

  2. friends

  today i attended a native american pow wow for the first time in my life.

  i live in an area that is highly populated by native people, and in fact my most of my congregation's territory was within the boundaries of a reservation.

  i often wondered why we would spend so much time and effort trying to convert people who were obviously satisfied with their beliefs.
