The FIRST Memorial Ive missed in 41 years
by Londo111 in

2. friends
last year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.

the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.

afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

How closely does your online personality match the REAL you?
by nicolaou in
1. jw
2. friends
i think i come across as a bit agressive online but in reality i know i'm extremely chilled - lazy some might say.

i'm greek you see and we do so love to argue the toss - loudly and insistently - and then have a game of tavli (backgammon) afterwards.

thing is most of my family are still jw's and as i can't do it with them you guys end up getting both barrels!!.

by The in

.

i've been speaking to a few older ones that were baptized twice as jws .. if my memory is correct ,it was around the time that baptism figures took a steep rise.. could this be a major contributing factor for this rise?

were these ( baptisms ) added to the figures?.

by PoppyR in
1. jw
2. friends
so my mother 'invited' me to the special talk today.. made me smile that at least she knows i would not be going otherwise (i'm not going anyway!).

she handed me the watchtower with the invitation printed on it and said i could keep it.

i just said thank you, put the wt down on her table and left it there.

Why are you a JW? Rational vs. Emotional
by Confession in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
rational vs. emotional

for those of us whove discovered the truth about the watchtower society, it is never surprising when a person who devotes him or herself to an examination of all the pertinent information soon sees theyve been misled.

of course this can only be true for those who, as was the case with me, believe that the watchtower society represents the sole channel of communication from god for rational reasons.

Letter to Mom (for your review)
by ringo5 in
1. jw
2. friends
no this isn't really an "outing " letter, but it might make her think.

she already knows i'm not going to meetings, and we've had discussions about the possible extent of the flood , so she knows i'm on the edge .

which is probably why she picks out articles in the watchtower and sends them to me.
