  Chaperone rule.

  by Zico in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the chaperoning rule has got to be one of the craziest rules the society has come up with.

  has anyone had a problem with it?

  i find most congregations don't seem too strict on it, but my one is very strict.

  Elder says no to congregation picnic: Brooklyn says no large gatherings

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our congregation has really gone down in recent months.

  the friends don't talk to each other, there have been many disfellowshippings and jc's.. an elder i was talking to in the kh after the meeting says that "he and the other elders would like to have a congregation picnic but can't because bethel disapproves of large social gatherings.".

  i looked at this elder and felt sorry for him - it was like hearing a child cry because mother wouldn't let him outside to play baseball.. the cong.

  The name Jehovah and demons.

  by Zico in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society teaches that if unexplainable things are happening in your home, then shouting out the name jehovah will cause them to stop.

  as you probably know, this is meant to be because these strange things are caused by demons, which may have posessed an object from your home, which was previously used in demonic activity.

  but, supposedly, since they fear jehovah, shouting out this name can cause these things to stop, even if only temporarily.

  How did you cope?

  by Zico in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you found out that this religion probably wasn't the one true religion like you had believed probably for a large portion of your life, or maybe even all of it, how did you react?

  my whole life belongs to the society.

  all my friends are witnesses, my family are witnesses, even my job is dedicated to the society.
