  my parents are allowing me to throw a party so all my worldly friends can come and hang out.

  there will be drinks, swimming poool, lounging and food, poker and black jack too!

  is calling a week in advance enough time?

  I have a history of terrible parties.
  
  One thing that seems like it should be considered is how to control the number of people that show up. What if 20 people decide to go and each brings a friend?
  Is there a way you could have them RSVP you??
  
  (Sorry I can't stay online longer tonight. I need to be at work in 5hours.
  Good Night.)

  Boy its hard for teenaged JW's

  i had to come home early from work today because a 17 year old girl came over to me and was all upset she asked if she could come up and visit with my wife and i. she said the brothers are always picking on her and she can not do anything right.

  i asked,what have you done she said nothing every time it is some one making things up and she is tired of even trying any longer.

  teenagers come from over all the area they they know they can come and talk to us and we will not judge them.

  **. Often times if you were'nt an elders kid, or buddies with one, well, you got the shit end of the stick, even if you were putting in time, and giving talks. Anyone else see this, or am i nuts?**
  
  Very good friend of mine had two teenaged girls and an alcoholic, drug-abusing, womanizing husband. She clung so had to the organization and sincerely wanted to help her girls stay in the truth and serve Jehovah. I have NEVER seen a parent so diligent in following the elders advise.
  
  It backfired on her.
  
  I didn't fully believe her reports of how the elders treated her daughters. Until I started reading posts on this site.
  
  Tonight I am literally sick to my stomach about the appalling, inhumane edicts that have been handed out by those idiots. It's downright criminal.
  
  I feel nauseous.
  Good Night.

  I know that those were some of your issues with the cong but I thought your parents were siding with them. Sounds like maybe they are thinking that maybe all the petty restrictions are not all that important??
  
  Did you parents have it out with the elders?
  Or just realizing the importance of enjoying quality time with you in your last few weeks at home?

  Whoa. Did I miss something??:
  **yea...they are like behind me now, they agree with me a lot now now that they see how evil those JWs can be. good advice.**
  
  What happened to get your parents to believe that JWs are evil?????
  Sounds like a serious turn in the plot.

  Yes. I have seen it and have been following it. I've contributed a few comments there, as well. Even posed this same question on that thread.
  I was hoping to hear some actual experiences and have not seen any reported so I started a fresh thread hoping to get some reports.
  
  Anyone got a story for us??

  Sympahty for Circuit and District Overeer's Poor Wives

  by frankiespeakin in

  .

  i would like this thread to express sympathy for these poor women, that because of being duped by a typical "end of the world cult", have given up a stable enviroment, suffer god know what as they endure listening to the same booring talk for 6 months, away from friends and family, no home to decorate, under constant scrutiny from the other sisters, etc.... i wouldn't like this thread to degenerate into what bad things these poor victims of an "end of the world cult" have done, but more toward sympathy, to help especially the younger ones who may be reading jwd, and need the courage to do something to get out of this predicament, before they waste thier whole life away slaving for the ungratefull wt organization.. they could use some help here and understanding as well.

  **A_S - good ploy to get some time to think - thanx for that! **
  
  It's worked real well - several times.
  After getting a little conversation going, sometimes I tell them that I'm inactive (which, technically, is also true since I'm neither DA'd nor DF'd.)

  how to live with JW

  by freefly in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  hey,.

  my partner in life (26yrs) has been converted to jw by his mother.. i am not one to whine -as very aware many have more troubles in their life.. i suppose one of my fears has been this exactly- as i know he was raised jw and should have saw the "signs.

  " he always regularly visited with his mom, which i respected as felt a good sign he had a mother/son relationship.

  Consolidated Guerilla Apostasy Tactics for 2005 District Conventions

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've had several very interesting threads going on about how those of us who are still on the inside can work to open the eyes of the witnesses at the district conventions this summer.

  since people have been making scattered suggestions on scattered threads, i thought we should start a consolidated thread here that lays all the options out on the table for those that want to be a part of it.

  here are the ideas that have stood out in my mind so far (please add any that i have missed): .
