  Recommend a film

  by Satans little helper in

  1. jw

  no big hollywood blockbusters, no explosion fests, just good films with a decent cast and a decent script.

  definitely nothing with keanu reeves and preferably something that will touch the audience rather than just wash over them.

  timeframe immaterial but quality is important.

  who remembers their first day at school

  by tijkmo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember mine...it was in the days when all pupils gathered daily for a service to start the day even though it was not a religious school...anyway my sister had started the same school the previous year and my parents had informed the school that she would not be attending the daily service..not a problem..except for some reason they assumed that because i was the same surname the school would make the connection that i wasnt to go into service...but they didnt and so i found myself right at the front of the hall on my first day not even 5 years old in my new blazer and short trousers with all the other pupils behind me knowing i shouldnt be there..so i started crying..and first my teacher came to see what was wrong but quickly got frustrated because i couldnt explain myself..so she smacked me for crying and kept smacking me to get me to stop crying and then got the headmistress to smack me to get me to stop crying until eventually time was up and they had to cancel the service.....result...still loved school though...tijkmo

  The Best Response To Memorial Invites?

  by dawn27 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they will not give up!!

  i live a ways away from my old congregation and i work with a couple of active witnesses who know i'm inactive.

  so, i've been bombarded with phone calls and asked by my co-workers to go to the memorial.

  Who will partake this year/tonight of the wine and bread?

  by PinTail in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember being told if you partake of the emblems and not be of the anointed the bad things will happen you or at the very least christ will be real made at you.

  i have always believed the witness's to be presumptuous on their part of this issue to make such a statement, who are they to say who should and who should not.

  does not the bible/christ, say to do this always in remembrance of me, concerning his followers are we not his followers?

  hey, today's my forum birthday

  wow, 3 years since i first found this place and joined the fray.

  i think i've spent more time here over the past three years than i did during the last three years i attended the kh.

  i've been up and down quite a bit since leaving the cult, cults attract people who are emotional cripples and i am no exception, and the cult only makes you worse.

  i was born into the "truth", so it is pretty much to only life i have known.

  i have been studying the bible seriously since my teens, about 15+ years.

  then it hit me about 6 months ago, i?m not really studying the bible, but rather the wt publications.

  2. relationships

  had other things to deal with.. .

  i was just wonder ing whose going to the memorial this year.. i got this email from my uncle today and i've decided i'm going only so my kids can see their family.

  if you love jehovah miss your extended family want your children to have everlasting life its not hypocritical.

  i went there last year... only because my best friend had problems in her congregation (she was with a non-baptised guy and they were always criticizing her for that). she told me she couldn't go there alone, and she asked for my help...

  that's why i've been there...
