  I have always heard it could happen, but never saw it enforced. In my old hall, 50% would easily classify as obese. Almost all of the elders and wives had weight problems.

  has anyone ever experienced this?

  i have, as well as with emails and especially text messages.. do you think there's any chance this could be real-that there is a valid, unspoken connection between people who reach out to each other?

  While being an active JW, did you throw away Watchtower literature?

  by JH in

  i remember that magazines and books came in faster than i could read, it was accumulating fast.

  in my first years, i didn't dare throw away anything.

  even later when i was starting to cool down, i still had mountains of books, magazines and brochures.

  Why don't JWs pursue hobbies?

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the congregation that we used to go to, and my parents and most of my relatives still do, very few had hobbies and interests other than being bound to the wtbts.. many made wine and brewed their own beer.

  infact, all of my relatives are wine and beer makers.

  there are a few gardeners, but i'm hearing how they are trying to grow their own grapes and fruit so that they can make their own wine!.

  I know the elders, in our old hall, kind of picked and choosed who who could have a hobby freely and not be "counsled". They never did criticize the wine makers.....I wonder why .......

  .....YOU MIGHT JUST BE AN ELDER IF......

  by LuciousJ in

  2. friends

  if you get off sitting in a room with the door closed so you can ask a young woman what position she had sex in........you might just be an elder.

  if your highest degree is janitorial but at night you are the "massa".........you might just be an elder!

  if you walk around during the meetings and whisper in several mens' ears.....you might be an elder.

  Did anyone just get tired?

  by woodmonkey in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  during my days as a witness, which was only about 10 years ending circa 1981, most of my memories revolve around how totally exhausted i always felt.

  toward the last, i was dragging my family out to the five meetings a week and working fulltime and getting my quota of publisher hours on the little sheet every month, even doing the temporary pioneering bit now and again.

  when i had the ministry school, i even worked a four day week to be able to give every talk on the program in case someone did not show up, which frequently happened in our little congregation west of fort worth, tx.

  I remember elders wives always saying how tired their husbands were and how they were so busy with all the KH crap. But they were more boasting then complaining I think.

  If you sing Happy Birthday, out of the blue, just because you can, you might be an apostate.

  If you wait on Saturday mornings, excited for JW to start knockin, just to mess with them, you might be an Apostate
