  congregational cliques

  by chuckyy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it was my experience during my 13 yrs as a jw that congregations usually had a social clique.

  in other words, there would be a group of people in a congregation that would only associate (and sometimes only go out on field service too) with people within that social clique.

  if you were in the clique, fine.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses Depend on Mental Illness?

  by metatron in

  2. friends

  if you still go to meetings, take a good look around the kingdom hall next time you attend and think about what you are.

  likely seeing.. many witnesses will sit in a half-awake mode - despite confronting a risk to life or limb in attending, because of bad weather or the sort.

  of neighborhood the hall is located in.

  problems with JW girlfriend and her family

  by starcrossedpimp in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'll make this short, but i've been looking for answers and need actual human communication- not just a book or website.. up until 12/26/04, my "girlfriend" and i had been sneaking around to see each other.

  we became professionals.

  she would always say "i shouldn't be doing this" and such, but eventually that mindset wore away and our love took over.

  2. friends

  upon arriving i ran into lots of old friends and really enjoyed seeing everyone and visiting.

  they dont know that im currently struggling with doubts about the organization and they think that im the same old zealous brother.

  i couldnt help but feel a sence of guilt visiting with them about our current number of publishers and how many we had pioneering ect.

  Were You On The Same Wave Length As The Others In The Hall???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can you get in trouble for playing chess, having a very large gathering, going to a pg13 movie, etc.??????

  so many answers amounted to this----as the answer-----"you just know better, that's all".

  "mature ones" just "knew" without asking whether something was right or wrong, doable or not.

  favourite games to play as a child during boring meetings

  by Surfacing in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my parents were both very strict, and i wasn't allowed any toys at the hall.

  my rations included a copy of my book of bible stories, and a pen and note pad.

  my parents were strict to the point of not allowing me to draw pictures, i had to "take notes".
