Why so many handshakes?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
the first thing that struck me when i entered a kh for the first time, was the staggering numbers of handshakes being given here and there.

it was as if they didn't see each other since months or years.

in fact they were together just a few hours earlier in the service.

Do you struggle to find truth in anything religious these days?
by Samdownunder in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i was just interested to see how you feel out there.

ive been thinking a lot about all the lies and wasted time and frustration ive went through for so long now, and i cant help but wonder if anything i ever believed in is real.

obviously the watchtower has lied and conned us all for years now, but who else along the way has changed the bible and who were the men who compiled it, and their motives?

Where are you on the map? New Maps
by Lady Lee in
1. jw
2. friends
ok there are so many americans on the map now i had to split you all in half.. valis was kind enough to let me place the maps on his website until i found a new home for them.. photobucket seems to be a good option - at least for now.

so i have uploaded the new maps which have been updated to include everyone who has asked.. so if you were wondering where we are from.

or how close you are to other jwd posters in your area just take a look.

Its about the enablers, not the abuse It's about the coverups not the crime
by avishai in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
this was a phrase spoken by a woman on abc news tonight, re: the catholic sex abuse scandal.

i love this phrase, especially when applied to the jw's and their spokesmen's regular denials that they had anything to do with the abuse.

no, they did'nt order their members to molest children.

40 Years Ago Today

2. family
on september 8, 1963 my sister, carmen elizabeth was born.. she was, and would remain the only girl in our family.

she was so adorable, brown haired, brown eyed and had a great smile.

she was less than a year younger than i, and we were like the 'best of pals' as kids.. she'd allow me to put beans in her ears, or get her to put peas in her nose or carrots on top of her teeth, and make me laugh.. she was born in cape breton, nova scotia.

hello there i would like to tell a story that will shock you.

this is how it all started... my sister at 19 was planning to marry a brother into the kingdom hall, she was not yet baptized so she was trying to keep her marriage plans a secret.

a couple of weeks from her marriage the elders of the congretation found out and contacted my mother whom we were still living with.
