Do you still shudder at the sight of a Elder?

i remember so long ago i thought elders were like a god and would always make sure i smiled at them and put on my innocent act in front of them .

even being out of the cult it took me years to finally get it through my head that they are human and not a god as they themselves think.

then one day a jw elder came to my door and at that time i had a newborn baby that i had been up with all night .

you get annoyed when one of your threads peters out...or you make a comment on someone elses thread and it goes unacknowledged....but isnt it great when an old thread you'd forgotten about gets ressurected

So p*****d off - need to offload
by neverin in

i am so angry - i've been a long term lurker here and an occasional poster but i have just got to offload tonight.

mom and i have never been 'in the truth' but my dad and 2 brothers are.

tonight my dad told me that last night he resigned as an elder (which for me personally is great) but the reason is that because both my parents have health issues, especially mom, my dad has been given 6 months to get his act together and put some more hours in field service as he is 'not leading by example'.

No Trespassing!! Breaking news for local JW's.
by Mulan in
1. jw

this week at the book study, at all congregations in the u.s., a letter was read saying if you go to a house or property with a "no trespassing" sign, you must not enter, or knock on the door.

you have to leave immediately.

a sign saying "no solicitors" is too ambiguous, and they are to use their own judgment, and don't have to knock.

Goodbye to the Board

2. friends
im leaving the board, and am compelled to announce it.

but there are a few things i want to say first -- some recollections that (perhaps incongruously) seem germane to my leave-taking of jw.com.

1) my first post was also my first thread, written in the summer of 2000 (on h2o, actually).

UK & IRELAND MAP
by ballistic in
1. jw
2. friends
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
