gas and the pionere

by kilroy2 in

has anyone that is still going to borg meetings, heard anything about gas prices affecting dubbers who get nothing in return for their car,gas,time knocking on doors?

A friend of mine is a full time pioneer (still in high school too) and she is always complaining about having to put gas in her car. But her mom spoils her to death. Most young ones in the hall are like that. I was like that too. We know that as long we fullfill our spiritual regualtions we get what we want. The only reason I got baptized was because I wanted to go spend the summer with my best friend in New York. My mom made it seem like I could go and I was supposed to leave the weekend after my baptism and the next day she told me no. BItch! I never hated her more than I've hated her that day. Made my life a living hell and still is.

Husbands! Smack your wife across the mouth!

by PopeOfEruke in

great advice received from a close jw relative who we visited last week.

she said that husbands are the head of the family, and if the wife doesn't support him in serving jehovah then he should give her a good smack across the mouth, thats what she deserves.

if only adam had given eve a good smack across the mouth when she proposed eating the fruit, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now!

Scary! I always used to think marrying a brother in 'good standing' was a privilege. Then I found out how motionless they are in the ocean. (a friend of mine did it with a brother awhile back) I don't know which is worse: a wife beater or being bad in bed

Are the chances of getting DF'd a second time greater than the first?

by JH in

jw
friends

.

i don't know if there are any statistics about this, but i wonder if the percentage of those getting disfellowshipped a second time greater than those getting disfellowshipped the first time.. example: if 20% of jw's get disfellowhipped once, out of those who come back and are re instated, will the chances of being once more disfellowshipped be greater than 20%.

Also, I am sure they watch u more since u already be D'F

Did The Circuit Overseer Ever Do Anything For You On His Visit?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they make a huge deal over how the co is coming and we have to show appreciation for his visit.

did the co ever do anything special for you during his visit?

stillAwitness

We had a CO stay at our house for a week. My parents acted like Jesus was staying over! My mom spent over $300 (boy did my dad flip out! ) on new dinner ware, sheets for the guest room, towels the whole nine. It was riduiculous. I felt sorry for them. Especially the wife. She talked about how all the traveling has taken a toll on her body and even skin. More reason never to marry a brother.

Did God ever grant what you asked for in prayer?

by JH in

i was an active witness, and i didn't feel as if god granted anything i asked for in prayers.

i didn't ask anything out of the ordinary.

since the witnesses say that they are god's followers and that he blesses them, i wonder in what way he blesses individuals when they pray?.

stillAwitness

I get upset when during the hurricane katraina they would make annoucements off the platform telling everyone to "pray for our brothers" like those are the only people we should be concerned about! No, i prefer to pray for everyone down there. Cause there all suffereing

LET'S SCHEDULE A MEETUP!

by stillAwitness in

hey.

i have been net surfing (whoo riding the cyber wave!

thats hot!

stillAwitness

Hey. I have been net surfing (whoo riding the cyber wave! THATS HOT! ) And I found out that there are all kinds of Ex-jws meet up groups across the country. Somebody needs to get the site administrator on this. There should be a jehovahs-witness.com meet-up. They'll be food, fun, WT jokes! It would be great! Don't tell me none of you haven't been a little curious about what some of us are like if we were to meet face to face. With some of the kooky usernames and weird topics at times some of us post? Who's a little curious about who and what are your predictions about what some of us are really like. And hey! Be nice!

MY PLAN FOR LEAVING THE WT. IS IT 2 FAR-FETCHED?

by stillAwitness in

i plan on exiting out quietly out of "the truth.

" i mean, i got school and becoming financially secure first before i just jump the gun.

is that smart?

stillAwitness

Everyone is right. I need to think about it more. Not now. I mean I do have time. I just get so afraid of what will happen in the future. I mean the decisions I make will be lige altering. Thank you for the advice.

I get it. I guess you get so used to all the lying and living the "double life" that you grow numb. That would be unfair to my mate. and myself. so much for my half of the wedding getting paid.

stillAwitness

I plan on exiting out quietly out of "the truth." I mean, I got school and becoming financially secure first before I just jump the gun. Is that smart? Because someitmes I get in a huge argument with my mother b/c I only go out in service (or at least she thinks I do) on saturdays and I have not selected one day out of the week to go out. (one of the new rules of the WT) and she had came to my meeting on sunday with me (she is in the french hall, me in english) and saw that my WT was not prepared (I would of made it look like it was but she had tagged along with me last minute ) I try to avoid hearing my parents mouth about my "spiritual duties" But sometimes I wanna just explode!! I wanna just pack up my stuff and leave. But where would I go right? How do I deal with it? I am pretty good at living "the double life" but sometimes I have anxiety attacks over it. I get paranoid someone is gonna catch me doing somethin and I get D'F or somethin. I give myself a year. Either my modleing career will have me financial enough that I can leave and have me mooning the elders when they try to show me that I am damned at armageddon, or I wil meet someone who I don't wanna lose to the WT or I will end up jumping off a bridge. How do I avoid the latter? So this is the plan I am going for:

1. I become financially stable in whatever that may be. Move out on my own.

2.Then I become inactive for awhile NOT D'F that way I will still have my family

3. Get married of course ( they won''t D'F me right for marrying out of the Lord?) That way I will still have my family at the wedding though my dad may not come. I don't have an JW friends so I won't feel sad about that.

4. 6 months later get back into meetings and stuff from time to time. Just enough to get my "privileges back" and still have my mom and dad for whenever I need them and my kids will have their grandparents around when I need a nap. I mean eventually they will get used to the fact that my husband is "wordly" and then they will start cheerfully counseling me on that "let him be won without a word" crap. And they lived happily ever after. Is that a fairy tale ending?
