  Conversation with an elder today!

  by Maddie in

  i was at work today and low and behold an elder from the kh i used to go to came in.

  i never got to know him very well but he always struck me as pleasant and mild mannered.

  the thing is i stopped going to meetings over a year ago and am now, as i have already shared, being shunned by my jw son and his wife and can't see my beautiful little grand daughter any more.. i haven't officially dissassociated and not met with any elders but don't care what action they take as they can't do any more damage to me now.

  I've been there, we all have. But what are you going to do when you find out it isn't real? I couldn't go to another meeting once I saw the WTS for what it really was. Some people just refuse to see it, and I don't feel sorry for those who choose to be blind.... Gymbob

  I tried to fade but they just wouldn't let me go that way....

  So I DA'd with a brief note handed to the elder body, "I no longer wish to be considered one of Jehovah's Witnesses". Gymbob

  I remember years ago after my son was born, we took our newborn to the hall and one of the sisters there asked me, "did you sharpen his pencil?" I didn't know what she was talking about so I just ignored her. It wasn't until I got home that it hit me!

  JW-Based Names for JW-Based Businesses

  by Nosferatu in

  while doing some job hunting, i came across an ad for a cleaning business called "paradise cleaning" or something like that.

  i'd think it's a 99% chance that the company is a bunch of jws.

  what are some of the goofy names you've seen for jw's home businesses?

  Pioneer has got to be the most over-used witness business name ever!

  I've known Pioneer Maintenance, Pioneer window cleaning, Pioneer Janitorial, Pioneer Eclipse (janitorial supplies), all businesses owned by witnesses. Gymbob

  atheists clamor for proof of godas existence.

  give us hard, physical proof they say, and then weall believe.

  if evolution truly happened, how did that one apersona that evolved from monkeys learn to speak and write?

  You say you want to understand the "other perspective", and I'm trying to help you do that....

  Instead of dodging the question, why don't you answer it? Instead of trying to insult me by saying I don't add anything to the discussion, why don't you just answer the question?

  Instead of telling me to "calm down" (pretty funny, considering you started this thread with 3 exclamation points in the subject), why don't you just answer the question?

  Can you answer the question, Why is faith required in your belief system? Gymbob

  just wondering, is there any information as to how big it was?

  how did desert wanders carry around so much gold?

  wouldn't it have encumbered them?

  I say.....if it ever was made, it could probably be held in one hand.....if it was ever made at all and it's not some jewish fable.

  Also, if it was made, they certainly didn't grind it up and drink it!

  Oh, and if you think that someone asking you a question means you're being attacked, then you really need to control yourself.
