an elder in our hall used to drink his wine before evening meetings regularly, and on more than a few occasions was "buzzed" and laughing up on the platform while giving a talk.

i really wish i would have transported the library of information i had, when i moved here.

but alas i didnt, even if i did, i'm sure i still would not be able to back as far as i'd like.

i wanted to know where i might be able to find literature ranging from the mid 1900's up to present day?

JW Ladies: starved for love?

ok, in another thread, a poster referred to incidents of "sisters" out in "field service" attempting to "hit" on the males they encountered at the doors.

i have personally had this experience, and also noticed that the last time i visited a kingdom hall, the females in the hall were very, very flirty (including those who were married).

it was as if i had entered a place inhabited soley by women who had been denied male companionship for years!

for those born into the wts, do you ever feel resentment towards your folks for forcing this upon you?

i went through a stage of strong resentment and anger, but no longer feel this way.

i think they sincerely believed they were acting in my best interests.

An Elder Told Me.... Many To Be Disfellowshipped Soon...
by Doubtfully Yours in

an elder told me the book is jehovah's latest provision to cleanse his organization.. he said soon all people that have drifted, inactives, and others baptized and not complying with the biblical mandates for a jw, will be visited and given an option to shape up or ship out.. he said that if the person refuses the help offered by the congregation they'll be notified of the date of disfellowshipping and given time to appeal the decision.. he was so happy stating that this way jehovah's organization was preparing for the final clean-up before armageddon.

he sounded so convincing that it almost made perfect sense what he was saying.

i got goose bumps listening to his reasoning.. dy

A letter to the Parents
by SixofNine in
1. jw

a friend gave me permission to post this.

i think it's a good letter, it might help others formulate their thoughts; she understands it may not be read or considered deeply, but things can't get much worse with her family at this point anyway.

no contact is not that much different than contact once per year or less, and sometimes it's just really important to have the people who should know you, at least know you a little.
