"Deliverance at Hand" District Convention Invitation
by Elsewhere intruthsetsonefree has provided spiritual food at the proper time by emailing me these scans.... this is the little hand-bill invitation for the next district convention that we've been hearing about.
considering the fact that most jws never actually read such things before handing them out, i suspect that many people will be given these things but never actually told when and where the convention will be held!
on the back it says: "the local congregation of jehovahs witnesses invites you to attend the convention that will be held at the time and location shown here.

HOW MANY THOUGHT THEY WOULD SURVIVE
by beezknees ini'm sure this will have been discussed before..but i am new here, so i was wondering how many of you when you where active jw's actually beleived you were going to survive armageddon.
i personally being brought up in the 'truth' used to lie in bed frightened of it coming or world events always thinking i was too bad a person to survive, and even as an adult i always felt i was never doing enough or good enough to be 'chosen' for survival when the end came u were always made to feel like you should be doing more as though you could earn your salvation.
i have talked to someone else who i know has left and they felt the same, i was wondering how many of you guys actually beleived you would make it through armageddon

UK & IRELAND MAP
by ballistic ini 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!.

ELDERS BREAK UP GROUP OF SISTERS - WHY?
by juni ina friend told me tonight that the elders broke up a group of sisters who were all experiencing various degrees of depression and enjoyed the upbuilding association with each other.. why would they do this?
according to them for two reasons:.
because this looks bad to the cong.

why do the elders break up a group of sisters?.. because they can, jw's have given the power of their own mind over to others, no men can actually make you do anything,only if we choose to let them do it. When you are in the organization you are so used to being told what to do and think that you will go along with anything

JW's ruin my dinner.
by moshe ini took my family to red lobster tonight and shortly after we were seated ( it was about 5 pm- early) a large party came in and took up two tables next to us.
one young woman had a very loud laugh and because of that i kept looking at their table.
then i noticed a young black couple with a toddler- then i noticed all the men had suits and ties- then i noticed three single men were sitting together and three single women next to them- and finally one young couple that i decided were married.

i think its understandable people are angry about the organization, but i don't think this should be directed to jw's who have been just as decieved as any of us, at least we know the 'truth' now, to go up to them and start to tell them how wrong they are will just vindicate their beliefs in their eyes and entrench them furthur into the fact they are in the true religion. I think you have to get to the stage of questioning yourself, my sister went 'apostate' 11 years ago and i have only recently come to my own realization about the religion, any attempt for someone to tell me i was wrong would have just put my guard up, i think you have to arrive there yourself, i feel sad for my ex friends that are still there and would not want to pull them down as they are doing what they believe is right and will just see it as an attack on thier faith ..most of us gave our minds up at one time to the organization, anger should be directed to the organisation not individuals
