Have you ever been dobbed in, and for what??????????

by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

today was a good day.

saturday, no witnessing, no meeting prep, no skirt and no dubs, no rush to do anything in particular, went to the mall to get some things, bumped into my brother (non dub) and his partner and my 3yo neice, had coffee with them and hubby, chatted, came home, kelpie dropped by to visit, went grocery shopping with my neighbour, ......................just to mention a few things.

doing what i wanted to do!.

i was dobbed in for gossipping by my uncle.

i told my cousin, who does not attend meetings about my younger brother being sexually assaulted by a brother.

he told his dad and his dad told the elders.

and i was the bad guy

Did you Ever Dream About Armageddon?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

just the once.. i was 19 years old.

i was stll fairly pure except for the odd escapade that involved just a touch of finger-pie.

so there was some semblance of guilt hanging over my head.

zaphod

all of the children that i grew up with had terrible nightmares.

mainly because it was my gran who was a jw and me and my cousins parents were not jw's.

we were all sure that we were going to fry thanks to our godless parents.

thanks for reading us the bible book of stories gran.

how can you stay?

by zaphod in

.

speaking as someone who believed it all right up until about a year after i was df'd i just cannot understand the reasoning of people who don't go out on field service, don't go to meetings, don't participate or believe and still stay in the organisation.. i know that it is hard to leave, it's made to be hard, but some of the postings on this site make me think that it must be harder still living a lie and keeping up the pretense.. if you don't believe, why would you want to conform to all the petty rules and subject yourself to men that you don't believe have any authority.. i really do hope that as soon as possible you can all take a deep breath and finally be true to yourself.. zaphod

I've said this before that it can be like straddling a picket fence that gets higher and higher gradually.

when you put it like that it actually sounds quite nice

While guys may be desperate for sex, gals are more concerned about finding a JW marriage partner before all the good prospects get snatched up and they are too old.

oh my gosh, i thought about very little other than sex and i am (well was) a girl. it's not just for boys.

maybe it's my gypsy blood but i had a fire aburning that needed aquenching.

Learning to develop common interests
I thought this was done before the marriage started?

young witnesses have not time for this sort of thing before they get married.

most of them they are so desperate for sex that they will marry anyone with a heartbeat.

you can see it in their eyes at assemblies when they are on the hunt.

some will work on the marriage later, once the novelty of sex has worn off. that's if they are good boys and girls and heed the counsel/contingency plan in wt.

i have pots in the sink and unmade beds upstairs.

i fear i am an addict!

good job i'm "out". what would bros and sis's think when they came round to cadge a cuppa on the ministry ( not counting it as time of course, unless one of my kids was in the room and jehovah/jesus was mentioned in passing) and found me with no clean cups.

WITNESS MENTALITY TOWARDS THE TSUNAMI DISASTER

by Mary in

jw
friends

i feel like screaming right about now...........the dickhead who takes our bookstudy group just came over and said "...i wonder how many brothers and sisters died in the tsunami disater.

" while that's a natural concern, his next comment blew me away "....it figures that the media hasn't bothered mentioning jehovah's witnesses helping out in this disaster!

" i looked at him stunned for a minute and said "and why on earth would they mention jehovah's witnesses?
