  2. friends

  ...happy birthday to me....happy birthday to me..... hi everyone!

  we'll most likely do a nice dinner tonight as a family (husband, daughter and i), and i will have to buy my own cake.

  but we can never call it a birthday anything...the very mention of the term freaks him out!

  Double Standards with Liberal Witness Friends

  by Fleshybirdfodder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure this may have been covered, but many ex witnesses i know that have not been formally df'd or dissasociated thenselves still retain some friends among witnesses.

  any friends i have for the most part that are still in the org are really congenial people, until it comes down to any discussion that might teeter on the edge of being remotely deep.

  i've had one friend i hadn't seen in a while who came to visit me tell me right off the bat that we were not to "discuss religion", because i'm "too smart" and he "he won't be able to argue" with me.

  What "Rules" Did You Have In Your Congregation?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in our congregation, we had a theocratic ministry school overseer make the sisters stand while giving their talks because he would counsel them on a point of counsel having to do with speaking to the "householder".

  (i forget that exact point of counsel) so the sisters knew they had to follow this imbecile's quirks or get a "w".

  another rule that was eventually abandoned too, was that only elders and ministerial servants could offer prayer at the kingdom hall......any rules that you had to deal with??

  maybe this has already been posted or you're familiar with it but i just discovered this on itunes.

  it's being sold on itunes.. the subject matter alone is enough to make you want to barf but get a load of the music and singing talent on this little gem.

  a couple of the tracks landed in an imix of the worst music on itunes.
