  Does your JW baptism still mean anything to you?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  all i know is that jesus said to get baptized.

  he didn't say in what religion though.. although i don't go to meetings anymore and don't plan on going anymore, i'm still glad that i was baptized.

  Pre Armageddon Preparation.

  by Clam in

  2. beliefs

  are there jws who prepare for the tribulations they assume are around the corner?

  when i visted the us once in 1999 i met a few guys who were expecting a global meltdown due to the millenium bug.. as a consequence they had generators, guns, ammo, tins of food, bottled water, fuel, all kinds of stuff to help them through a civil disorder situation.

  does anyone know or remember any jws who have prepared like this?

  anyone here ever go on a cruise with a large group of JW's?

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ive been on two cruises in the early 90's with large amounts of witnesses.

  one cruise we had around 85 and the other 175. one night on the larger jw cruise there were 50 or so of us watching this comedian.

  he started getting a little crude using words like penis so we all got up at the same time and walked out during his act.

  New light re: talking to DF'd persons

  by caryl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was df'd in 1985 and have not been back since.

  of course disowned by my family.

  at that time they rarely called or came over because i had small children and they called just enough to semi maintain a relationship with them.

  Ok I Have A Question For All Of You!

  by Legolas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  when you were a dud (i call it 'dud' not dub..lol), ok how can i put this.....were you 'always on'?

  meaning did you always have something to give to people or witness to them at 'every' opportunity or did you look at it as a 'job' where you only gave things out in service?

  IDEA regarding my mother.

  by RichieRich in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  its richie again.. i was thinking last night about my inevitable, fast approaching exit from the wtbts.

  i guess that out of common courtesy, i will provide a copy of my disassociation letter to my mother, however, it is nothing more than a baptism nullification / gag order / i'll sue all of you letter.

  its not one of those lengthy numbers that some have chosen to write.

  Breakthrough with JW mother - Stunning Anti Witness !

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would share this with you as i am still a little bit stunned to say the least.

  my mother who is a longstanding jw came to stay over the christmas period as my uncle had past away and she wanted to be more local to the family, that way she could attend the funeral and provide some support to her remaining brothers and sisters.

  she lives a considerable distance away from me at this moment in time.

  My exScientology friend...

  by james_woods in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a friend who backed out of scientology way back when hubbard was still alive.

  we go to lunch together quite often here at work.

  we have often commented about the great similarity & difficulty between breaking away from wt and from the scientologists.
