Fashion in men's bathing suits...
by JH ini remember many years ago, men here in quebec all wore tiny speedo bathing suits.
our summers are so short, and it seemed normal to want a small bathing suit so as to tan the most possible.
when i went to beaches in the us, i noticed that most americans didn't wear such tiny bathing suits.

Speaking from my own experience, I suggest that you carefully weigh your options:
My dad initially started studying, but eventually opposed. This had a very strong and opposite effect on us as young kids.
The more he tried to stop us, the more it emboldened us to be even more faithful little witness buggers.
And don't you know, the folks at the hall used my father's opposition as proof that we were REALLY pleasing jeh.
So, be careful that your plan does not backfire with unwanted results.
Best wishes!
Just my two cents!

Listening to Bible story or drama cassettes
by TheListener indid anyone grow up listening to the bible dramas or bible story book on cassette?.

Tapes! Why in my day we had to let our imaginations scare the crap outta us.
Thank goodness we had those Paradise Lost pictures of the earth swallowing up cars, women & babies to keep us in line, with lightning bolts from heaven crushing buildings & churches.
Not to mention, the wonderful illustrations of dragons and mythical beasts in the Revelation & Daniel books.
No wonder I was a faithful lil' witness!

JW terminology really gets my goat
by Ellie in.
i don't know if its just me or if anyone else feels the same but it really annoys me when jehovahs witnesses use their terminology when speaking to a non jw.. for example, a jw woman is talking to a collegue who has never had a bible study and knows nothing about jws.. instead of saying "i have a friend coming for tea tonight" the woman says " one of the sisters is coming for tea tonight".. or, instead of "i was talking to a friend on the phone last night" she says "i was talking to an elder on the phone last night".. it just really winds me up, i think they do it to seem important and mysterious but it only leaves the other person confused.

I would tend to agree with you except for the fact that I am having the damndest time getting rid of the terminology myself.
It's so ingrained in me that I still refer to people as 'brother', or 'worldly' or speak of my old 'congregation'. if it drives me bonkers, I can only imagine what it does to others.
I worry that my language reflects the amount of remaining doctrines.

It is finished, or is it just beginning?
by IP_SEC inwell i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.
i had fully intentioned to disassociate myself from the platform today, but i decided that if i wanted a chance to save my marriage that i'd better tell my wife.
she immediately went to to one of the elders.

Matt:
I'm in similar circumstances and actually envy your new position. You are so much further along with your life. I'm still in this stuck mode, living a double life.
You tried to do the honourable and diginified thing, by including your wife, but she had choices to make also. I fear/know that mine will react the same way.
Best wishes!

JWs and socio economic status
by greendawn indo you think that someone's socio economic status determines how they get treated (behaved to) by the jws?
.
can someone high up the ladder get away with more things especially if he made big donations to the society and do they look down upon those lower down?

I sent this PM because I am still anonymous & the details might give me away.
True Story:
A very wealthy Jewish (non-jw) visited jw-hq one day, with his family.
I was called to the office of someone high up on the bethel food chain.
My assignment was to tour & 'take care of' this group, since he appreciated the work of the jws & had contributed a considerable amount to toward the work.
I had assumed that at least one was a witness, but no such luck. It was MHO that he just wanted to show the fam where
their inheritancehis contribution went.
