  What Things Irritated You While A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to hate it when i'd listen to brother blow give his long winded comment about how we're all supposed to do this or that----and he was barely considered a witness......we had a few elders, and especially the po who would go overtime just because they could.

  the po's bookstudy always went overtime.

  45 minutes into the meeting he was still on paragraph 3. and he would read every scripture including the ones quoted!!!

  JW couples don't love each other

  has anyone else ever noticed this in the kh?

  married couples don't seem to show any affection to each other.

  however, when a couple is dating, they will hold hands.

  .

  for those of you that have been dfed - how long did it take you to be reinstated, and how long did you continue to be active?.

  i was reinstated after 5 months out and i continued to be active for about 5 years.. although i have to admit, i never felt the same about the dubs after i was reinstated, and should have quit the religion much earlier.

  i know i'm not jwd's most popular participant but even i look at this place as a means of support sometimes.

  i just wanted to say that this morning my father died of a heart attack while in field service.. i am on my way to new mexico with my daughter.

  as some of you know i am df'd so you know how that goes when attending a jw funeral.

  i posted this in another thread but it is more relevant here.

  i worked for jw doing back breaking work for a while only to be told by another jw that he was ripping me of - he was paying me half the going rate.

  i was only 17 and naive didn't know anything about the world of work.

  Leaving without the internet.

  by unique1 in

  2. experiences

  my husband mentioned to me this morning that he was glad i had this resource and some support to help me through this.

  he also made the comment: can you imagine trying to leave without the internet?

  that got me thinking, it is hard now, how much harder was it back then, before the internet.

  Did your parents find you dates?

  by Virgogirl in

  2. experiences

  when i hit 19, and showed no signs of interest in finding a nice,suitable brother for a marriage mate, suddenly there started appearing a few "eligible" brothers from out of town at our sunday meetings.

  even stranger, they seemed to be meeting up with my parernts and sitting with us.

  stranger still, they had been invited back to our house for lunch!
