  2. friends

  i didnt see an introduction topic, forgive me if this is not the forum.. my name is kyle.

  i was born into a jw family in 1981. i spent my child hood not only going to every meeting but also in a home schooling program ran by some of the congregation folks with children.

  extremely cut off from the world to say the least.

  Jezebel Idea in Motion (photos)

  by Sparkplug in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, it started as an idea to make a jezebel such as was in the book of bible stories.

  but then i did not have all the parts and my hair was tied down.

  i threw in jack the ripper shoes and stockings, and a gypsy skirt.

  The story of Tom

  by iamfreenow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tom was a friend of mine, a very good friend.

  he lived in a village on the outskirts of our territory, and was in his 60's and retired when he became a jw.

  tom studied with my husband ron, often accompanied by me.

  Let's face facts Marion, the vast majority of jw's are lovely people and we all have known characters such as Tom. All the faults are with the organisation not with the members. It's not their fault they're mislead!
  
  We on this forum were once or still are part of that group, and I'd like to think that we're an ok bunch.
  
  Let's raise a glass to all those ones and hope they will be free of the org one day just as we all are.

  Hi Marion, thank you so much for sharing your story. I normally hate long posts but you had me completely gripped.
  
  It's wierd but you are exactly the same age as my mum and I am exactly the same age as your eldest son. My mum and her whole family were brought into the 'truth' by my great aunt and my mum has pioneered for many years too. Lots of similarities, so I hope someday that she sees the light like you did and gets out of the org, along with my dad and sister too.
  
  Can't wait to meet you at the apostacurry, glad I fought to get the weekend off work (it wasn't easy).
  
  Love Marie. XXX

  Maybe Interesting Blood News

  by truth.ceeker in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i had a meeting with my heart surgeon yesterday, and after informing him of our faith, my wife still holding onto to parts of the organization, the dr. said that, "there is a new form that just came out last year from your mother church in new york.

  " what this document does is (1) make it clear that the person is not allowing blood to be used, (2) makes it clear that the dr. will have a court order ready in case blood is deemed medically necessary to sustain life and (3) absolves the person's conscience of any guilt if it came down to it.

  i'm not sure if this document has been discussed before, but i thought that it was a bit intriguing.

  First and foremost, I hope your daughter's surgery goes well. And second, I would love to see this form when you get it. What an eye opener if it's legit!

  I was in London yesterday. I walked through Soho and Chinatown, into Trafalgar Square, where I visited the National gallery. I stood for a considerable time admiring 'sunflowers' by Vincent Van Gogh, amazing.
  
  I sat on a bench in Trafalgar Square drinking in the atmosphere and the sunshine (it was a beautiful day). Then I took a stroll down to St.James' Park which is absolutely gorgeous.
  
  I walked back through the hustle and bustle of Leceister Square, then I explored the Trocadero (bought myself a bag of pic'n'mix - still a kid at heart). Then I met up with hubby (South African Beef) and we had a coffee in Starbucks, strolled down to the Slug and Lettuce for a cold drink, then we met up with friends for an Indian meal at Soho Spice.
  
  A great day, I can highly recommend it. There's no city in the world quite like London, it's fab and I am so lucky that I live so close to it (only 30 minutes by train).
  
  Hope this helps, love Bubble. XXX

  I can't believe it, I was only watching him catch a crocodile on tv yesterday.
  
  I've never seen someone with such a passion for wildlife.
  
  His death is a great loss. My thoughts are with his wife and kids.

  i've been reading your forum for a while and wanted to ask a question.. does anybody know how many take the emblems nowadays?

  they must all be about 120 years old now.

  hey........maybe the're really taking a secret elixia of life.. sound like a storyline for a new book by dan brown.

  Welcome Beautiful South. Great to see another Brit on the board.
  
  As for who is taking the emblems nowadays, I think it's only mentally retarded people and bible studies that don't know any better!!

  All my meeting clothes are stored in my loft, but I'm in the process of bagging them up and donating them to charity.
  
  I have to wear a skirt suit to work but it's my uniform.
  
  The rest of the time I'm always in trousers.
