  i have noticed many of my parents friends are slowly passing away.

  the daughter of a po told me he became inactive a year before his death because he never thought he would die in this system.

  Will the JW's become mainstream?

  by Save My Soul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems over the years, the organization has done 360's on several topics.

  do you think they will ever go mainstream with their beliefs.

  for example, college is good, blood is a conscience decision (without punishment), ect....... .

  Stereotypes among fellow Witnesses

  by Save My Soul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read a great thread relating to race and it spurred some thoughts.

  it was mentioned that while a black speaker was on the platform, another brother made implied to that blacks could not have power/respect anywhere else.

  this made me think of many stereotypes in society and in the organization.

  Beautiful Women and Dorks

  by Save My Soul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking back at a few bethel threads and getting calls from many former friends last week about the assembly season, i reflected back on some of the assemblies of the past, particularly in the 80's and 90's.. do you remember beautiful sisters that just had the criteria of having a spiritual man.

  they would get a dorky pioneer / elder / ms and walk together at the assembly.

  everyone would wonder, "how the hel did that happen".

  i had a former co-worker go to the assembly yesterday, and he made an interesting comment.

  he drives a luxury car and was with his family.

  he was dressed in a dress shirt, no slacks, no tie.

  Are you disfunctional after being a witness?

  by Save My Soul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after not embracing many of the key practices of the witnesses (since 1995), i find it hard to fit into society in some ways.

  pre-generation change, i was reading the bible to justify celebrating my sons 3rd b-day.

  i knew of the common examples cited by the society, but wanted more.
