  What non-issues did you get "counseled" about?

  by rebel8 in

  i was "counseled"* for being mad that my jw boyfriend began dating my sister.

  it was wrong of me to have feelings.

  any embarrassment i felt was due to being puffed up with pride.

  Is there a breaking point for JW?

  by BonaFide in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in 1989, when the wt said, "the preaching work will be completed before the end of this century", i believed it.

  then when they changed it in the bound volume, i was a little nervous, but i didnt say anything.. but then when i was a missionary, and i personally went to the branch office about a pedophile, and they told me to leave it in jehovah's hands, and that jehovah will erase the girl's mind and to stay out of it, that really bothered me.

  i couldnt sleep.

  2. friends

  until now, i have been skeptical about the so called change in the book study meeting.

  however, maybe this anecdote proves me wrong.

  we (the elders) recently had a meeting.

  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

  Did anyone experienced racism in their old congo?

  by confusa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to a spanish congregation and there were different hispanic nationalities and one in particular used to snub, criticize and make fun of the other one.

  very unchristian and so the opposite of what they preached.
