  wearing faded jeans only as a bethelite is a cause for concern for the governing body.

  i had jeans that were not totally faded as the "world" would consider them.

  so one freaken' weekend as i passed by a wt building, a tightwod bethel elder (now just an elder) asked me how i was doing (bla bla bla).

  Ex-Jehovah Witness' Near Death Experience

  by little star in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was baptized by the jehovah witnesses in 1970. in arecibo, puerto rico.

  i believed in god and i believed that jesuschrist was a god ( according john 1:1 on the jw's bible) created by the true god.

  i didn't believe in life after death much less that i was a conscious spirit that would leave the body when i died.

  Did you get counselled for going backpacking months at a time?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not many people will have faced this situation, but i know at least one brother who was counselled on backpacking.

  it was said that he would be damaged spiritually.. how would he get to the meetings in countries he travelled in?.

  what if he was 100's miles away from the nearest hall?.

  CO Visit Nightmares

  by Tish in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i grew up as a jw and my family had no elders etc so we were not the type to have the honour of co visiting for lunch etc.. so when the opportunity arrived 5 yrs ago i tried to do it all properly.

  my husband had to go into work at the last minute leaving me with a baby with chicken pox and a son off from school with a twisted ankle, my daughter was high on astma meds which mean't she was throwing roast potatos across the table at the co's wife whilst i did my best be the hostess with the mostest.. sadly my hubbie at the time did not get made a mini as the elders had hoped until i could control the children!!.

  has anyone else had any funny things happen to them whilst entertaining cos?

  Red eyes

  by beautifulisfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just the other day i had a horrible witness flashback.

  i remembered that when my dad was an elder...he would come home from his elder meetings with red eyes.

  he also would get red eyes whenever he was mad at the family about something 'spiritual' like how we didn't have the pioneer spirit or how we were wearing to short of dresses (even if they came down to the floor).
