would you let your child associate with Jehovahs Witnesses?
by Ellie in.
i'm the only one of my family who is not in 'the truth', and my family don't want anything to do with me.. however, today my mum asked me if she can take my 2 year old to visit the rest of the family, i'm not invited and wouldn't be welcome at any of their houses, so she would be taking my daughter alone.. i told her i would think about it.. i really don't think it would be practical because my daughter is not familiar with the family and i don't want her to be upset.. but the main reason |'m thinking of saying no is that i feel offended that i am not good enough for them to speak to.. am i being selfish if i say no?

Congregation Picnics
by Funchback inmy former congregation usually had a congregation picnic once a year.
all of the brothers (a/k/a men) had to pay for all of the food.
the sisters (a/k/a women) had the godly priviledge of serving the food.

I remember the picnics... for some reason we had most of them on Memorial Day weekend at a park called Memorial park! lol Us kids always had a good time, dont know about the adults and thankfully I was too young to pay attention to the gossip.
Funny enuff my church just did a service with a huge potluck cookout (hamburgers and hotdogs) last Sunday. It was great.

P.S. the park was just down the road 2 blocks away from a kingdom hall!

Depression = NO Chat??
by Sassy inso many i realize now are dealing with depression or feeling unnoticed here... i had no idea.. .
does anyone think that fact we have lost the ability to spend part of our day encouraging one another in chat here is partially responsible for our low feelings.. .
i mean.. when we'd go into chat, everyone would greet you...it was like a boost for the day.. .

Boy! Do women love to talk!
by Maverick in"we need to talk"!
men hate to hear those four words coming off of their gf's pouty lips.
we know what they are really saying is, that they need to chew our butts and we need to take it!

Hm this is a funny topic. my dear husband says I dont talk enough to him and I'm not on the phone much. I guess not all women run off at the mouth.

Did you ever experience Holy Spirit?
by Ring Wielder ini was a jw for 40 years.
although as an individual/cong/body of elders holy spirirt was prayed for, i cannot think of one moment when i thought..right now i have gods spirit acting upon me.
it was never described adequately for me to completely understand and i suspect that others felt the same, yet everyone talked as though they knew exactly how it worked.

the holy spirit to me feels like a giggle.
and at times i make myself still and i can feel it...a giggle bubbling up.

HATING JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
by marianne infrom what i have gathered, you all were once jw's and now hate them or the organization?
do you still believe in jehovah and love jehovah?
i have to admit i dont like, actually i rather dislike, some of the sisters in my congregation and i know that's wrong of me, but some of them really think they are better than me and are quite judgemental.

Hi,
Another born and raised here. I dont think that most here hate the rank and file jws. I think most (or some) of the disdain that people here have is directed towards the heads of the watchtower (the governing body, fds, and those types) and what they make the rank and file do.
Do I think the watchtower org i.e. governing body is evil? Yes
Do I think the watchtower is misleading the rank and file jws? Yes
Do I think the watchtower has lied to it's members? Yes
Do I think the watchtower has the truth and is God's representative on earth? No way

I feel so angry!
by Ellie in.
not really much point to this except i want to vent some anger but yesterday my little brother came round to my house for lunch, he is studying and living at the house of my jw sister, i myself have never been baptized so am not disfellowshipped but they all (with the exception of my little brother) treat me as though i where.. anyway, my little brother came round for lunch and the next thing my jw mum phones my house, asks to speak to my brother and gives him a telling off for being at my house because i'm bad association, and tells him that he has to spend more time with the members of the congregation.. he tries to explain to her that the members of the congregation don't want to know him, that he is sick of making an effort to be friendly with them when they just ignore him.. anyway, it finished with her telling him he is to go straight back to my sisters house and not see me again.. he is 24 years of age, surely its up to him if he wants to come to my house!.
sorry, i know there is no point to this, but i just wanted to let off some steam!
