  How long did it take you to prepare for talks or parts in the KM school?

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  several years ago, whenever i got a talk slip i would get really nervous but accept it and work on it almost immediately.

  of course that was way back when i still believed it all.. now they gave me a #3 talk out of the blue about a month ago and i had forgotten all about it till the meeting night.

  i really thought about not showing up at all but at the last minute, i decided to go.. so when i got there the meeting had already started and so i just stayed in the back looked at the info, found 2 scriptures and then without any notes i went up and gave the stupid talk!.

  I was like blondie took no time for me to get/develope a talk. I 've gotten 45 minute outlines together in 5 minutes.

  One of my roomates at bethel used to get mad at me because he would bust his ass in the library studying and doing research for a service meeting part and I would get out a public talk the morning I was spose to give it simply by listening to george krantz din da da.

  Former Bethelites, please settle this argument

  by Resistance is Futile in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently talking to a friend that's a former jw, and she argued that there are just as many women that live at bethel as there are men.

  admittedly, we're both slightly ignorant on the subject, since neither of us have actually lived at or even visited bethel.

  i've made the assumption that there are significantly more men than women at bethel, am i correct?.

  There are more men at bethel than women! (at least as of 96 when I left)

  Back then the big way for women to get into bethel was to work as commuters (hold a job and pioneer while commuting to bethel as a voulunteer.)

  On # 1 I have heard of 'brother' who gave up their military retirements to get baptized. Ironically I thought it dumb even as a lad to give up a pension when you are just a couple of years from retiring/collecting it.

  This was mainly back in the late 70's early 80's.

  DESIGN THE 2014 "100TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHRIST'S INVISIBLE REIGN".

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  2. beliefs

  i want a shirt that reflects the spirit of the upcoming celebration of 2014. i know two annointed members saying "everything alway's happens in the fall, we need to look at the fall of 2013".

  why do ancient dubs think the fall is a special time of bible prophecy.

  the fall of 1913 was the example used by one annointed.

  Back in the fold

  a few months ago, one of my best friends from uni times told me that his girlfriend of something like 20 years was leaving him.

  she can't live with a non-believer...she wants to be a baptised jw.. i couldn't believe this crap is happening again.

  turns out she grew up in a jw family, but parents separated when she was about 8 years or so.

  That programing is strong.

  I was going to make a similar post I just found out a guy I grew up with and who for most of his adult life was either DF'd or just plain not going has returned to the hall and is giving talks.

  This guy was not even able to attend his own fathers funneral but now he is all in on jahs earthly chariot.

  Was talking with Blackman the other day and reflecting on our past and we were discussing some trials we went thru together, namely bethel. Our friendship has endured thru days of pioneering together, bethel and now full fledged post jw apostasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  What we were talking about was other friends of ours who went thru and endured some severe BULLSHIT at bethel. I'm talking damn near andy dufraine shawshank redemption BS where the only difference was the rape was mental and not physical. We recounted one pal of ours who was being screwed over so tough one day he went into a tear streaming rage while working.

  Let me paint the picture for you a gigantic 6 foot 5 dude with tears streaming down his face, tossing 50 lbs bundles around like empty tissue rolls.

  They actually sought us out to come and calm our friend down. This dude was screwed over more times than I can recount. Last time I talked with him he was an elder and I was explaining how I no longer attend.

  looking back I foolishly thought considering the nature of what we went thru, that we had formed a bound that transcended the JW's. I thought this cat and others in our crew would always be there for each other no matter what!

  Damn was I wrong.

  I am not venting or ranting, not even mad just observing and putting into words one of the flaws of JW's...Brotherhood.

  Or more specifically the lack of true brotherhood! One definition of brotherhood is: the belief that all people should act with warmth and equality toward one another, regardless of differences in race, creed, nationality, etc.

  I see a lot of post where people are in a 'fade' trying to keep their friends, family and other reasons. I wish you all success but please be forewarned that the very nature of the JW beast is to cast friends and loved ones aside as soon as they no longer live up to expectations.
