  Meeting Survival Guide – Games to play

  meeting survival guide games we play

  one doesn't grow up religiously attending '5 meetings a week' without developing a strategy for survival.

  mine started at about ten years of age and gradually grew more sophisticated as the years assemblies rolled by.

  okay i'm still a newbie but i was quite surprised when reading some info of a statement about the 'end being fluid' and that .

  'present truth replaces past truth ,however present truth may be replaced by future truth'.

  cambridge dictionary definition on truth -the real facts about a situation, event or person.

  POST YOUR EXPERIENCE OF GROWING UP AS A JW....

  by SWALKER in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess that one of my first memories, about 3 years old, had to be sitting in a hard chair being made to listen to a boring talk that i didn't understand.

  we weren't allowed any toys or books to look at besides the wt publications...i remember getting taken outside and beat for something i did...but i didn't even understand what i did wrong.

  i remember that our car didn't have air-conditioning and during the summer how hot and sticky i was by the time i got to the kh.

  by whyizit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed that a lot of jws and former jws have said there was a big change after they became baptised.

  how were you treated before, as compared to after?

  is there really that noticeable of a difference?

  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!.
