Did You Ever "Rat" Anyone Out To The Elders?

after you told on someone, did you feel like a snitch?

MominAustin

yup- I was a freshman in HS and an on again/off again friend of mine said the "F" word when we were "off". The elders said that since no one else heard it (except wordly people) he couldn't even TALK to her.

Ever fake ring a bell? Take a long time writing down not at homes?

by yourmomma in

my whole life, even when i pioneered, i dreaded field service.

i was always uncomfertable rolling up to peoples houses uninvited.

so i used to have this technique where i would pretend to ring the bell.

MominAustin

playing along with the disfellowshipped game

by milligal in

my son has come to stay with me for the summer, and this morning i got a phone call which showed on the caller id as my son's grandparents (my jw ex's parents who are also jw).

i assumed it was my ex calling from their house and answered handing the phone to my son.

that's when i heard his grandma's voice on the phone.

nothing to share or add, but good for you!!!

i am happy to say that i wasn't great with rvs and i never had a study.

hopefully me fluffing my way through presentations didn't plant any seeds that got watered and grew.

Condescending Style of the book Keep Yourselves in God's Love

by VM44 in

atlantis has posted a download link for the 2008 book release, "keep yourselves in god's love".

i read a page or so from the book, and the first thing i notices is the simple language used that sounds like it is written to be read by a little child who is in elemenatary school.. the styel if very condescending and actually is insulting as if the reader is expected to have a very low level of intelligence or reading ability.. what is going on?

why is bethel printing such material?.
