  What charitable works have you done?

  by anewme in

  2. friends

  the watchtower society is notorious for discouraging the brethren from performing acts of kindness and charity towards people of the world, claiming in their literature it is a waste of time or worse the funds may be absconded.

  (see awake of this year "what is happening to charity?

  today was 109 degrees in our town.

  We were told during the conventions, not to buy The Big Issue magazine from homeless people. I've always bought one before becoming a jw, and no stupid rule was going to stop me giving to the homeless. There were 4 sellers I used to give money to on a regular basis and I remember the dirty looks brothers gave because I gave these people my money. It made my blood boil. I also gave money to cancer research, British Heart Foundation, and Red Cross via direct debit. So the WTS and the elders didn't know about it.

  Why did you choose your USER NAME?

  by In Between in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think some people actually use part of their real name.

  i chose mine because i really feel 'in between', in that space where your not a jw anymore but really haven't figured out where you are in life and what path you want to take.

  just thought it would be an interesting topic.

  Ironhead was my old nickname in the navy. I used this because it reminds me of the fun loving active man that I was before becoming a dud.

  Did you ever do this to pass the time during the talks?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you get a new bible, and as you opened it, you notice that the pages all stuck together in these onion skin thin pages.

  so you start separating them, with that crack snip and then separated sound.

  that was fun, let me do another, i wonder if i could get through all of genesis before this guy finishes his talk.

  Before most meeting nights, my wife knowing that I got a high sex drive had a habit of squeezing my buttocks or my crouch in the cloakroom. All I could think of during the meeting was having sex with her. Naughty girl. Well it did pass the time away.

  I have a BSc (Hons) in media technology. Turned down a career with the BBC World Service when I became a jw. The biggest mistake of my life. I've never told my mother about this, she'll be very upset if she found out.

  2. friends

  i can't sleep, i'm usually up until 2 (or later) every night.......then the alarm goes off at 6:30 and i'm up to start my day.

  i find that i'm more alert and productive in the night time, however i am sooo tired of not being able to sleep.

  so how about you, night owl or early bird?

  I'm an early bird. I leave for work at 5am, breathing in nice freah air. No cars on the road. Beautiful bird song. I'm loving it now, but dreading it in winter.

  Foreign Language congregations

  by Ironhead in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to think it was good to use foreign language in the ministry as people like to here the lie truth in their mother tongue.

  i attended a foreign language congregation a few years ago, but i quickly started to hate it.

  on the tms you were counselled on your laguage skills not on how good your talk was.

  Good point Carla. We may have sat together at meetings but we couldn't talk. My wife and I hardly ever stop talking. There's better things to do on a Sunday.
