once upon a time, my father had some sort of first-aid badge from his workplace.

he was assigned the task of managing the first ais station at the circuit assembly.

the love you had at first?

i have been so sadend by finding this site and wanted you all to know that the organization is indeed a loving one with only your best interests at heart...but i'm sure, if you look deep within your hearts you already know this to be true...dont you?.

if you search your inamost thoughts and feelings and put away your debeauched/immoral life style ( because if you are truly honest with yourselves, guilt is the reason you needed to distance yourselves from righteousness) and come back to the truth you will see that only kind, loving and overwhelming compassion has always been at the forefront of the wtbts and that although you may feel contentment in a (deluded sort of way) you would have a real happiness within the true christian organization...as your former bible trained concience must know... all others that profess to be 'christian' are satanicly influenced even though they may appear to do good/kind things....how else would the last days of satans system be?.

so i urge all the 'lost sheep' to 'find the love you had at first' and return to the loving compasionate embrace of the organization....you know this makes sense!!!!

Was the JW Family only looking out for their own interest................

2. friends
senerio: jw family was in the mist of being evicted from there home, they have a student that they study w/ regularly whos family is also in the mist of loosing there home (they are opposed to the jw's).

jw family convinces the studies family that the jw is all good and to prove it they can come stay with them untill they (the non-jw family) get back on there feet and no pressure on having the whole family study unless they want to, rent then will be shared among all of them for a small period of time.. now is it acceptable for a jw family to take in worldy people into there home if they are not the least bit interested in jw?

was the jw family only looking out for there best interest and used outsider to share the rent?.

JWs and Clothing
by the_classicist in
1. jw
2. experiences
where i live, its not usual for people to "dress up," especially business people and executives, you are more likely to see them with a button up shirt, khakis, and one of those fleece vests on.

so, on the whole, jws look very out of place wearing their cheap suits (though a few elders didn't wear cheap suits and they made that known, "look at this, i got a spot on my new $200 designer shirt" -- really, something like this happened).

but what i did notice is that, in my area, dressing guidelines usually weren't followed, or enforced for that matter, for good looking women.

Why Are Some Superstitions Okay?
by Swan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this is one of the things i never understood as a jw.

i was told that jws were not superstitious people.

as followers of the true god jehovah, we weren't to give in to false beliefs, even if others were practicing them.
