one of his guests is a woman who doesn't want to celebrate holidays.. .
Dang! I wish I had watched that! I was flipping through the channels and caught the very end when he said "Holidays are about getting together with family" or something like that.
Anyway, I'm glad he wasn't afraid of not being "sensetive to different religious beleifs" or something.
wow, i didn't think jws went out during the day anymore.
it's probably even worse than trying to find people at home on a saturday morning!.
they knocked on our door, and my wife answered.
I got it from my mom. It's blatantly anti-gay. I also think it makes them look more than ever like a doomsday cult, especially with the scary lightening picture on the front...
hi everyone, i hope that you can help me out!
i'm a graduate student studying medical ethics, and i'm seeking information regarding these cards.
what i need to find out is this:
"Facet", I think I know you in real life!
Anyway, if it is who I think it is, I will be attending your seminar next Wednesday to find out what you have to say on this exact topic, for which I saw the flyer today. "Graduate student"? :)
The truth is, Facet, it is extremely unlikely for a JW to not have filled out the blood card completely. These cards are filled out under extreme pressure (in my opinion) once a year after a sermon on the topic. Then there are specific church leaders ("elders") assigned to different members of the congregations to make sure each one has their card filled out completely. I just don't think this scenario would come up very often given the circumstances.
i came home to find the latest jw tract on my door.
it was titled "the end of false religion is near" what a catchy title, never heard that one before.
i started breezing through it and came across a subtitle called "false religion... tolerates immoral sex" they actually have the nerve to say, and this is an exact quote " even churches that condemn immoralality have tolerated religious leaders who have sexually abused children"
Guys, I got that same tract from a certain well-meaning first degree relative. (mom)
She said, as she read the title, "ISN'T THAT INTERESTING???". I said well, I've kind of heard that before...
Is it just me, or does that lightening picture look exactly like the one on one of the old tracts from the early 80's?
I just read this post. So glad you were able to expose the sickness of some JW policies. Bryan, what an amazing and sad story. My heart goes out to you.
i've looked for him for 16 yrs.
and he found me this morning.
:) there are 8 and my oldest son has the only two g/sons that i have.. we were lost to each other before i left the wts, because when i lived in california and he lived in colorado springs, we both moved at the same time and we each had unlisted numbers.. i'm very, very pleased and excited.
wow! Tell us more! Congrats, Grannie.
this has probably been posted before, but i'm new here.
for those who daed or dfed, how long did your exit take and why?.
i'm trying to figure out how long it'll take me to get out.. thanks.
Since my first doubts to stopping meeting attendance: 8 years. But I was a minor 5 of those years.

witnesses, i am thankful that there were only.
two or three incidents which proved to be some.
Scariest thing was when this older (like in his 80's) man was able to very logically argue against creation and for evolution. Everything the elder I was with brought up, the old man was able to refute. I was stunned. That was one of the sparks that got me doubting. I should go back and thank the guy!
the knocking dvd comes with a 48-page study/discussion guide.
it includes information about the making of the film, all the main characters, their early history, expansion, civil rights, their community structure, their preaching methods, and distribution of literature ( that adds up to their annual operation expense of over a billion dollars).. some dvd scenes include:.
people from stratton, ohio being interviewed along with the mayor.
Thanks for speaking up at that conference, Alan F.
hey all you pink floyd fans!
i have to share this with my old pals on jwd: me and my husband went to three roger waters concerts this fall: (detroit, chicago, los angeles.
) we went to the la concert sunday night.
Wasanelder:
That is hilarious! I never thought of the song that way. Now I'll always be picturing the KH with that one. Thanks.
