  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

  did any of you guys disregard the wt recommendations and pursue a career.

  if you answer "yes": was your journey easy?

  are you happy with the end result?

  The Pain of Coming to a Decision

  it's been at least a couple years since i've posted anything on here, and much longer than that since when i was active.

  ten years ago i first came here all in turmoil over my disillusionment of my beliefs.

  i've been through lots of ups and downs since then.

  Your family is worth fighting for, may I suggest counseling? If this isn't something you haven't explored. Don't give up

  Merry Christmas!

  wow, 4 years!

  it has been a real journey.

  going from a devout jw, to having a close call with a loved one possibly needing a transfusion, to researching the heck out of everything, to letting it rest and go back to sleep for a while, to moving states and almost going crazy knowing all the bs they were speaking from the platform.

  You can't believe everything you read. This guy was a 1 termed for a reason and a known cry wolf. While we all can agree there are things about the society we don't agree on it has been more then tenant in this community. Cleaning, plowing the streets, repeating the roads. Most ppl that live in my community think they are a good neighbor by their actions. I m not a apologetic for the WT but it's articles like this about the JWs that are half ass that don't allow those in the truth to read articles with credibility and open there minds. Moral of the story , just because someone said it doesn't make it true.

  Disfellowshipped at a funeral

  by Yogapants in

  recently at a funeral for an active jw, death was sudden and tragic.

  was surprised that that one of the disfellowshipped children of the deceased was comforted by the jw's at the funeral.

  i would say the majority hugged and said a few short words to the disfellowshipped child on the recieving line to comfort the family.

Didnt know what the proper protocol was, wanted to know what you have seen/experienced.

  do you think the yearbooks will stop showing negative information as the numbers stagnate or even drop?

  In the past they have posted declines. In the late 90's they were transparent on this topic. I dont see why they would change that. Besides, the org is growing, so they will be happy to highlight that.
