  Hi everybody, I´m a new member from Spain

  by benito in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all, i want to apologize for all the mistakes i will probably make, i m not very good at english, it s very hard for me to think in another language different than my native tongue (spanish, of course!!)..

  i ve been lurking through this forum for a long time but i didn t dare write here because of my lack of knowledge of the language but i changed my mind.

  i think i can give a different point of view from other members of usa of uk, it seems that most of the members are from theses countries.

  i disassociated myself just over 2 years ago.

  i grew up in the truth so now i feel a bit lonely and out on a limb with no friends.... feels so strange cos i had so many mates in the truth.

  i still believe what jws believe and im not seeking an alternative religion or anything like that.

  just curious... we had a poll here in the uk as to who was the most famous brit of all time.

  i was so underwhelmed that i can't remember who even won it.

  it wasn't churchill, that's for sure.

  How Do YOU Feel Knowing That YOU Were In A Cult?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years, i refused to think of the witnesses as a "cult".

  too harsh and restrictive of a word for me......but there is no denying that we were all in a mind controlling cult.

  are you embarrassed or uncomfortable knowing that you belonged to a cult just like the moonies and the branch davidians are/werw a cult?

  Worldly People

  by Undecided in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was sitting in my car in a parking lot and an old woman came out with a shopping cart with a few items in it.

  she was putting them in the back of a pickup truck and it was a little high for her to lift things over the side.

  she had a bag of dogfood or something like it and a young woman saw that it would be hard for her to lift it and she ran over and lifted it over for her and pattied her on the back and walked over to her car and left.

  spiritualism

  by Ellie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  can i just ask, has anyone ever had any bad experience after buying anything from a spiritualist type shop?.

  i ask because today i walked past a shop in my town that sells crystals and things and they do tarrot and that kind of thing, i picked up enough courage to go in to have a look and i saw this lovely fairy candle holder, i really liked it but i am a bit afraid to buy it as i guess i've had it drummed in to me that those things are channels for demons.

  What did they all do on "worldly holidays" when you were home alone?

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i always hated being alone on thanksgiving or christmas.

  what bothered me was that if it were known you accepted an invitation by relatives it was frowned upon.

  but what got to me was this: is god more pleased that i am home looking at four walls alone rather than being over somebody's house??
