  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first met my wife, she was not a jw.

  i was baptized at the age of 12. to make a long story short, some of the other youths in the congregation followed my lead and took non jw boyfriends and girlfriends.

  well the brothers decided to point me out specifically as i was the only one who cared.

  the light faded for me when i was twelve.

  i asked my uncle what happened to all the people who couldn't be reached by the "truth" in far off lands, or little kids whose parents didn't believe...ect... "would they still die in armagedon?

  " he answered yes, and from there on, whether it was bs or not, i couldn't believe.

  THE WORST THING ABOUT THE BORG ??????????

  by vitty in

  2. friends

  what was the worse thing while you where in the "truth".

  for me, it felt that everynight was a meeting night, the relentlous pressure getting to the meetings.. for my husband, apart from the meetings, it was the never ending assiments.

  for my teenage son, it must have been field service.

  i believe that the watchtower society will use the tsunami disaster to "pump up" the fear factor for armaghedon coming soon.

  what better way to keep the flock moving in a positive direction?

  they know book sales are down, and so is recruitment.

  Any advice on tattoos?

  by carefully faded in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been faded for almost four years now.

  i've decided in the last month or so that i would really like to treat myself to a small tattoo.

  i'm going the conservative route and plan on getting it on my lower back - so it can be seen when i want it to be, but also easily hidden when necessary .

  how long disfellowshipped?

  by sugarbritches in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi- when someone is disfellowshipped- how do the elders determine the amount of time for the disfellowshipping to last?

  my friend- perhaps i should say my ex friend has been disfellowshipped for 3 years- for singing in a small local country band with me- a non-witness.isn't that a bit extreme?

  i haven't seen or heard from him in over a year.
