  JW urban legends

  by Highlander in

  2. friends

  i remember very few of the details, of when, where and exactly what took place, however a few years ago i was told the story about three elders that were walking together and the middle.

  elder was struck and killed by lightning.

  the other two elders went to his house to help out his wife and discovered 'apostate' material in their home.

  rock climbing

  any rock climbers in here?

  when i was a jw it was frowned upon very much in the surrounding cong.

  so one wanted to do it with me because the elders (who didn't know what the heck rock climbing was) didn't think that it was safe and that it was more of a thrill sport like bungy jumping.

  gods name?

  by aoxo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i never understood what the big deal was with saying gods name jehovah.

  the jw's say that that's his name and not titles like the lord or the creater because those titles describe what he is or does not his name.

  but don't they also say that the name jehovah means "he who causes to become"?

  How to get DFed

  by Threestars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read something hilarious a few years ago at one of these forums.

  go to an assembly...stand up and horse around during the session until the ushers take notice.

  when they hold up those little signs they have saying something like "please take your seat" hold up your own sign that says, "please kiss my ass".

  Blood question

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i went back a few threads on this and have'nt seen it brought up.

  since many of you good people are former jw's, and since blood seems to be such a huge issue at this forum, do you now donate blood?.

  witness vs. cathlics

  by aoxo in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i attended an ex witness group for the first time a couple of weeks ago and a comment made was that jw's are just like any other religion (cathlics, lutherans) in that when someone breaks away from it the same reactions are made from the persons family and ex members such as not talking to them, claiming that the new religion is wrong, dismissal from the congregation because of wrongdoing (fornication) and other cultish stuff that the jw's inflict on us ex's.

  is anyone else from another religion that can verify this?

  i dont think this is true.

  hello, i am newly dissociated and was wondering how some of you who grew up in "the truth" have started relationships.

  i have never dated for obvious reasons and am now 26 with no experiance and extremely shy about this whole dating process.

  i have tried places of interest like gyms, workout classes and even eharmony with no prevail.
