  Exactly the same. My wife is fully in and my two sons.

  I am totally shunned by one of my sons and his family.

  My other son can't do enough for me!

  They don't even knock or ring when passing my place!

  They just look at a bit of paper in their hand and pass on by.

  THEY made me a 'do not call'; aren't they kind.

  I didn't want to go to their memorial anyway.

  The "most honest people" on earth....?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  have we noticed how often the society uses comments like this?.

  "jehovah's witnesses are the most honest people...etc".

  while it may be true that witnesses as a whole are decent, law abiding people, are they truely "honest" when the very foundation of beliefs are based on mistruths?.

  The Elders in my wife's congo are the biggest liars I have ever met!

  They are certainly NOT the most honest people anywhere.

  What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?

  by Funchback in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the u.s., three's company was not allowed.

  it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.

  the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

  millie210 asked:-

  Does anyone remember ET being mentioned in an Awake?

  
  

  Yes it was 1983

  
  

  *** g83 7/8 p. 27 Christ or E.T.? ***

  ..."E.T. may be a skillfully constructed and highly entertaining movie. But it provides no substitute for our True Friend, Jesus Christ, who saves us from this dying, wicked world. After all, E.T. is make-believe. Christ is reality."
