On this Forum my Light is getting Dimmer

by Spectrum in

jw
friends

i don't know if it is a good or bad thing but my view of jws has got dimmer since i joined jwd.

the reason i'm not sure is because i don't dislike the jws per se as i've met some good people but at the same time i feel more suspicious of these people's drive and motive - i'm talking about the ones i know personally.

i find that disconserting and uncomfortable.

Welcome Elise. your comments are right on the money. We all have the freedom to choose

what we want.

An activists conference???

by Junction-Guy in

wouldnt it be cool if we could get all of the activists together at a conference and discuss ways to counter the wt society.

we could make it a 2 day event, or even a 1 day event.

people such as barbara anderson, blondie, danny haszard, and the many more people who actively work to expose the jw cult.

Count my wife and me in. We're always looking for a reason to have a vacation.

One less thing I could get df'd for!

by Deleted in

well, if exit polls are grounds to call the presidency just hours into the vote count then i can conclude that in only 3 days of quitting the tobacco habit that this it!.

7 years ago when i left the borg i started smoking cigars, as it went well with scotch, and was deliciously a naughty thing to do after 18 years in the cult(ure).

i started to inhale, as i am prone to do, and then concluded i would be better off with cigarettes.

When I left the dubs I also started smoking cigars and my favorite drink was scotch.

I Quit both 20 years ago.

How stressed were you as a JW?

by JH in

jw
friends

i don't know about you guys, but it stressed me alot to be a jw.. i never did like talking in public, in front of a group, or going door to door.. gee, i hated the tms meeting.

the moment i knew that i had a talk, i became nervous and often i had a hard time sleeping.

just knowing that i had to talk for 5 minutes in front of the whole congrgation got me nervous weeks ahead of time.

ferret

My most stressful time was knocking on doors. I always hoped no one would be home.

I would push the door bell but not hard enough to make it ring. I always had more not at homes

than anybody else. I would hate working with anyone who would knock if the bell did'nt work.

Were you persecuted while in the WTS?

by greendawn in

jw
friends

during your stint in the wts were there any jws that would regularly harass and persecute you because of jealousy or sheer malice rather than due to any "apopstate ideas?

I remember one time I was going to punch the P.O.'s son out and he threatened to have his

dad df me, But I did it any way. He thought he had a lot of pull.
