Witnesses And Their Obsession With Bible Names

by ColdRedRain in

jw
friends

i was just thinking about all my old witness friends and how many of them have weird bible names.

i mean, who the hell outside of a witness would name their child "ephriam" or "hezekiah" or "elijah"?.

i guess they don't have to worry about being picked on by the kids at school for their names because most witless kids don't go to school anymore, lol.

My Story

by Lemon_Lime in

first off, i want to give prop's to "dantheman"......that post inspired me to share my experience, and thanks to everyone that responded to my first post under "desperately seeking"....that was a nice welcome.

this might ramble ..... i was born and bred into the borg....my dad was/is an elder, i had a big family, two older sisters, three younger bro's....i was baptized at 15 (i'm 25 now) and tried to pioneer...give talks...have repsonsibilities...but the wrong feeling that had been welling up in my stomach and kept getting stronger as time went on.. when i moved away from my hometown at 17, my life really started to change.....i met an awesome girl (another jw)....and we fell in love pretty quickly...and i also left home and got my own apt.

(much to my fathers sadness).

Terrible Anxiety Attack Last Night....

by Sentinel in

i've been dealing with so much stuff lately, and thinking that i was "doing alright".

i'm not on any medication.

i have had emotional issues due to times of severe stress years ago, and took medication, but the main thing is, i worked through all of that.

Wives' appearance

by Ray6 in

jw
friends

many wives of ministerial servants or elders wear no makeup( not that you have to), wear dowdy clothhes, are overweight; why?

jealousy of the more well kept women.

are there any wives of servants or ex-servants, elders' wives of ex-elders's wives lurking here?

Newbie alert!

by pharisee in

jw

i'm new here, and would just like to thank simon and people like him (franz for one) who have helped others, through various forms of media, to make thier own educated descisions on how to deal with all the jw issues in their lives.

when i was growing up in a jw family, we never had the opportunity to get "second opinions" on any doubts we had from any source.. luckly, with resources such as this website, and others like it, i have been able to make one of the most important discisions in my life, and that is how to bring up my kids spiritually and mentally?

i had to be 100% sure, in my mind, that i was doing the right thing.. i hope others who we all know that are searching for thier "answers" will be as fortunate as many of us here.

UN & Df'ing

by Tashawaa in

i'm curious... does anyone know of situations where jw inquiring into the un have been df'd?

i did all the research and got info from the original sources (so when i show my family there's no doubt).

i wrote the society once, then got the "usual" reply (2 weeks later) - wrote again, this time pointing out specifics and wanting answers, but instead i got df'd (hmmm, 3 weeks later) for living with my sister (who was disassociated for some time, and was no big secret here in my congregation).

johnny cip,,,,,i do not question what you said the out come might be,,,I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT????????

i have been in the borg about 25+ years....if all the evidence was
gathered,,,and sent to brooklyn,,,,from somebody who has done
nothing wrong,,and in "good" standing in the congregation,,,what could
they do????

important to me...
