  About me

  by Bryce in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been doing the home study with the jw's for almost a year now.

  i've never attended the kingdom hall meetings because i didn't want to -- i used my parents' objection as an excuse.

  but now i'm at a problem - i believe more as the christadelphians believe, and i no longer want to do the study with the jw's i know.

  Not the point Noni.

  In his current situation, to just simply dismiss his friends as 'not real' is not necessarily accurate.

  And, BTW, yes, a lot of my old truth friends are still friends despite my not being at a meeting since last Memorial.

  when i think back, i remember being excited in the 80's.

  i remember the 5p food token strips at twickenham, london.

  you could get hot fresh doughnuts and burgers.

  Noni,

  They are not your friends.

  Unless you know Bryce and those people that is quite an assertion.

  I've had hundreds of incredible, well meaning friends over my JW years.

  however, a fews years ago before i was baptized i got a few tattoos.

  I guess not Tired,

  I was in a hall where a kid got an eagle tat across his whole back.

  I was surprised that there was very little backlash and I believe he was appointed M.S. a few years later.

  Guess it depends on if you have a cool P.O. or not.

  But it's not a big no-no anymore. Just a little no-no!

  Cheers.

  It's not a "BIG" NO-NO but it's frowned upon.

  You won't get DFd because it is not a DFing offense.

  They'll probably give you a bit of a hard time and a talking though.

  OK, Brown Eyed Girl.
