(Ex)-JW Terminology, is there a faq?

by kifoy in

my first post in this very interesting (indeed) forum is a request.

i was born and raised a jw (and wrote the goodbye letter to the elders some 4-5 years ago), but i live in scandinavia.

that means i'm not at all familiar with all the english/us terminology and abbreviations that you use over there.

PaulJ

I'm sure there's loads of abbreviations. I dont know of any faq's but feel free to ask anyone on here!

Welcome to the site!!!

what's your sign baby? ;)

by freedomloverr in

where we live is a very *new agey*, *earthy* area.

when i was a witness i never thought twice about my astrological sign or how it relates to anyone else.

here, people are always asking what my sign is and i've really been entertained by how i see patterns with people in my life and how i've noticed i'm actually attracted to certain *signs* .

PaulJ

I'm a capricorn. What does that mean really? What DOES interest me is that I always seem to be attracted to Leo's. My ex and my current missus are both Leo's.

I'd love to know if that has any relevance, if anyone knows...

The Sunday Thread!

by Crumpet in

i just spent a helluva a long morning in bed even though i was awake early, then did some yoga before breakfast and a piping hot shower.

now i feel like i still have a whole fabulous day to enjoy doing exactly what i want.. in my other life i used to dread sundays.

i would read my book to take my mind off the imminent boredom right up until we got to the hall doors and then 2 hours of monotony would follow - the sickening nerves of making myself answer up, often choking mid sentence because i was so nervous, but worse was to come.

PaulJ

What 2 words makes a Sunday like Crumpet described even worse?

Street Witnessing.

Just put on the Kingdom Smile and pretend it sounds like a great idea!

Complete Amnesty

by zarco in

jw
friends

would you come back the organization if all disfellowshipping/other punitive actions were completely reversed?

if you came back would it be for association with friends and family only?

what policy and behavioral changes would the society need to make to "entice" you back?.

PaulJ

I agree with most, I dont think I would go back. Just the whole concept or 'organised' religion has left a sour taste in my mouth. How arrogant is it for one religion to stand up and say "We've got it right, everyone else has got it wrong!"

Can't be doing with that at all.
