  this was told during a c.o.

  visit talk..........john howard (prime minister of australia for those that don't know) was witnessed to by jw's a while back.............i'd expect he'd be pretty sympathetic to jw's as he is a known protector and defender of paedophiles.........remember the govenor general and archbishop george pell accusations............ from ak

  DRESS TO IMPRESS?

  by bay64me in

  most years, my old congregation would get asked for volunteers to clean and garden our assembly hall.. as you all well may have observed, at such occasions at your hall, all the youngsters would use this oppertunity to show the opposite sex, just what they looked like in their 'civvys' (leisure-wear) !.

  i knew one sister that used to make her own clothes and would make this, sort of andy-pandy suit.

  she would use some sort of candy-striped bed linen-sort-of-material, usually pastel coloured and make a kind of all-in-one romper-cum-knicker-bocker-pedal-pusher-number?

  Home From Vacation/Visited German Bethel

  by Dutchie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my children and i just returned from a trip to germany where we visited my deceased husbands parents, his brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, and assorted cousins, all of who are jehovahs witnesses.. before we left, the children and i agreed that since their grandparents were old people and not in good health, it would be an act of loving consideration not to cause them any further distress by announcing that we were no longer active in the congregation.

  so we went prepared to attend meetings, to go out in field service and to pretend that we were still die hard jehovahs witnesses.

  we packed the proper kingdom hall attire, suits, ties, ankle length dresses, as well as our bibles and songbooks.. i suppose to some this may seem the cowards way out, that i should have just announced our new status and let the chips fall where they may.

  I remember once while handling the phone and desk of the factory one weekend a sister wanted an elder DF for steping on her cat's tail at the book study. I told her I would.

  A Week Later; I'm Still Confused.......

  by Sentinel in

  2. experiences

  well, it's been one week since mom called to tell me that she is reverting back to a previous behavior from 1981, called "hard line shunning".

  this is after some ten years now, of having communication with me in a restrictive manner.

  (well, as "normal" as it could be for us anyway.

  Just think! There are thousands of situations just like yours. Mine is no different. You must get on with your life. But not a life of leaving your family!!! You should try to fly under the WTBS radar by pretending to be interested in the "truth" for no other reason than to rescue your mother from the spritual hostage condition that the WTBS has setup. Go to a meeting, ask questions (leading question) to your mother, maybe one will get her thinking. Leave notes in her literature ref. contridictions from past articles. News articles about pedofilies, UN etc. Your life should focus on rescue of your mother!!!!!!!!

  by bittersweet in

  2. experiences

  i was just curious if any of you growing up in the truth were overly scared of armageddon?.

  when my mom came into the org.

  in the 70's,the only so called kids book was the paradise lost book.the pictures in that book scared the pants off me!at night when i was lying in bed,if i would hear a loud plane go over head,or there was a thunder storm,i was sure it was the start of armageddon and i would be sooooo scared.i was wondering if i was the only one overly scared,or if their were others.. also,was anyone out there extremely frightened of the demons?i would hear all these crazy experiences of people having problems with demons,and i was sooo frightened they would come bother me.maybe i was just a big old scaredycat,but if any one else has any experiences,please post them!

  last night, i returned from the chess club with my son to find my wife on the phone.

  apparently the congregation secretary had phoned to get our time.

  not wanting to disappoint him, she put us both down for two hours.. now, none of us have stepped foot in a kingdom hall since april 10, and we haven't been out in service since march/01.
