  When things started to "fall off"

  by comment in

  i was thinking about this in several areas today.. 1) district conventions and house-to-house work.

  if you were a witness for a long time, you probably remember a time when going to the conventions seemed perfectly "normal" to you: it was absolutely "the thing" to sit in a sports arena all day listening to bible talks and counsel from men in suits.. but at some point, did you ever start to feel like you were participating in a cultural relic, so to speak?.

  as in, "here it is, the 1990's, and the society is still using fundamentally the same old format they've been using all century long.

  the year is circa 1994; i go to my driveway to pick up the sunday paper to read.

  on the front page is the story of a serious car accident.

  one person was killed he was a passenger in one of two cars that were racing; he got decapitated as a cable cut through the windshield of one of the cars.

  ex-JW life -- Reality vs. Fantasy

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what are the lives of ex-jws really like?

  the wts tells jws one thing, but is what they say reality, or fantasy?.

  a common technique used by the wts to express their viewpoint while avoiding the truth of the matter is to focus on the specific and imply that it is the general.. let me explain: do you know of any ex-jws who were disfellowshipped for immorality?

  Convention Apostatizing Brings Gestapo Response

  by outnfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my flyers merely said: if as a jehovahs witness, a member of your family has been molested information is available for further information see: www.silentlambs.org or call 1-877-wtabuse.. nothing overtly inflammatory, actually more like a public service announcement.. i guess thats what most of the local organizers and friends thought in my neck of the, woods for the first two days of the district convention!

  but once the 'friends' realized that the website i was promoting with my flyers and moving car billboard was not an approved wt site, the powers that be got ... well ... pissed is the word!.

  nobody bothered me on friday as i went smiling about my posting flyers on the light and utility poles on the routes to/from the convention site.

  Old Habits Die Hard

  keep in mind, now, i haven't been out in field service since sometime in early 1987.. this morning i headed off out the door and down the stairs, cheerful and ready to tackle the day.

  got to my ride, and realized i had forgotten to pick up the case that contains my laptop and paperwork.

  so, back up the stairs, in the door.
