  In 1965 LSD gave me one hell of a trip and these days as I'm becoming an old man, I wouldn't mind trying it again. My life was ruined by the WT.

  Do You Often See JWs Out In The Ministry?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to always see them preaching.

  now, it seems as though they rarely are around.

  the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..

  I rarely see them around but I know they've been to my door. They leave there "scat" (tracts) behind. And about 2 months ago there was an unexpected knock and I answered it without thinking and lo and behold, two elders from my former KH came to call on me. I haven't seen these guys for over 10 years. I moved 5 years ago and no one from my former life knew where I was. With the internet today, you can find out where anyone lives today and I guess that is what they did. One thing I can say about these two is that they were great guys when I served and socialized with them I was caught so off guard that all I did was ask how they were doing but they were strictly business. All I said was that I'm not interested in talking at all and closed the door.

  My adorable 5 year son explaining the meaning of life

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.

  like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.

  he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.

  My wife is truly a non-jw...

  by Jim_TX in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a little bit of background (for those of you who came in late).... i used to be a jw (no joke!).

  i married a jw wife.

  we were married for about 20 years, and i couldn't take it anymore - since i was no longer a jw, and didn't believe in their doctrines anymore.. i got divorced in 2002. since that time, i was solo, and then met a nice non-jw woman.

  Traveling snitches and the tentacles of Rutherford's takeover

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the 50's, 60's, 70's, when i was an active jw, the traveling overseers both district and circuit,(before elder arrangement) came around to visit local congregations.. two points to be made about this.

  when pastor russell died, rutherford wanted federal control of the varied congregations for himself.

  under russell, all the groups were independent and unencumbered by an organization.

  I'm on facebook but have no xjws as my friends. I have enough new people in my life. My biggest problem is being addicted to Candy Crush. I need a rehab and 12 step program to keep me away from it. lol

  As A JW, Did You Get Involved In Politics At All?

  by minimus in

  1. social
  2. current

  since jws are to be no part of the world, it would seem implausible that any witness would even talk about political preferences.. after being on this site for over a decade, it seems to me that there are a number of closeted political junkies.. were you vocal at all about politics and about the town/city/state or country that you were in?.

  With my JW brainwashing I felt that politics was and abomination. But I did vote for people running for office in my Union with the approval of one of the elders who said that was an entirely different matter. In about the past 8 years I have voted in all local and national elections though.

  Thanks for posting this Gorbatchov. A lot of names I recognize. Only one that I knew persdnally though. David Beigler (if it is the same person) was our district overseer in the Pittsburgh area in the 1980's.
