  You can use the witnesses as a great example of what you guys are discussing.

  The only real growth the witness religion is making is in 3rd world (uneducated) countries. Plus, look what they teach about higher education! Gymbob

  p.s. I'm just glad I got me a edumacation now!

  Does this weeks' Service Meeting touch on how to treat df'd relatives?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  a friend of clyde's, who is an ubm but attends meetings anyway, called today to say that their was a part on last night's meeting that was very hard hitting on how to treat disfellowshipped relatives.

  he thinks his wife was being singled out because she recently spent several days at her daughter's home to help out with her new baby.

  the daughter was disfellowshipped over 10 years ago for living with her boyfriend, but now they have been legally married for quite some time.

  Just looking at that Service meeting schedule makes me want to vomit.

  I know why some of you guys still go to meetings even though you know it's not the truth, I just don't know how you do it!

  I Find that Being an Apostate Can Be Quite Funny, Do You?

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out for 20 years but only discovered jwd in the last few years (lurked for quite a while).

  anyway, i find it quite humorous that we apostates are privy to actions, decisions, literature, news etc of the wb&ts before our jw friends and relatives.

  when i told my "worldly" aunt with much glee that i downloaded the "shepherding the flock" book, she didn't get it.

  I just enjoy life alot more away from the witnesses.

  In my fairly small town I still see witnesses all the time, and it is amazing how much older they look since I left about 5-6 years ago,whereas I really don't think I've changed much at all (except for my hair being longer, and I have some facial hair).

  I still get undates from my daughter about what her JW mother is up to, and sometimes it just cracks me up what those whacky people believe. Also, it's amazing the lengths they will go to in order to try and, "make a good witness" to others.

  Recently my ex-wife's non-witness parents came to visit, and my ex had to make up some crazy story to tell her parents about why my daughter can't go out to dinner with them. Of course there's no way in hell she can tell them, "Oh, she's DF'd and I'm not aloud to talk to her anymore, I still do, just don't tell my elders. But there is no way I could go out to dinner with her...someone in my congregation might spot me eating with my own daughter and report me!" If they knew the truth, they would kick her a**!

  When my son (who isn't DF'd, just quit going years ago) told his non-witness grandparents that he was thinking about joining the Navy, my ex-wife started the whole JW preach and talking about how wrong it would be (you know we only serve Jehoover's government), then my ex-father-in-law ripped her a new one! He was in the Navy for many years, and let her know that freedom isn't free right in the middle of the restaurant. My son told me he was quite loud and mad at her JW views.

  Those people are crazy.....but sometimes very entertaining! GYMBB

  Also, you didn't need to wear a tie to the table, just a nice shirt & slacks (no jeans). Some wore ties because that's what they wear in the offices.

  Like Daniel said, how long you had for work really depended on where you worked. Sometimes in the Ink dept. we would get really dirty and have to leave very early if we planned to make it to lunch. But, if you worked in the home, in a office, you didn't have to change clothes, just go down stairs.

  Back and forth from the factory was about a 10 minute walk, not a bad neighborhood (for Brooklyn) just not recomended for a night time stroll. Gymbob
