  Disfellowshiped to make an example out of you

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew someone who was df because of where they worked, the elders df him and said they needed to make an example out of him to the rest of the cong,

  he worked at a company who supplied military & civilian parts, a few of his co-workers were jw's but nothing happend to them.

  i alway felt race had something to do with it and maybe jealousy, he was a dark hispanic in a mostly white hall, and he made a lot of money, had a big house and drove a caddy.

  JW's going door to door in poor neighborhoods

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not sure if its just me, but i've noticed that every time i drive through the "ghetto part of my city" ok maybe ghetto is a poor choice of words but poor neighborhood, i always see jw's out in the streets.

  i live in the same city only in the better part and i hardly ever see jw's on my street?

  not that i am complaining about it but, i was thinking do they target lower income families, or in their eyes uneducated people for their ministry?

  JW Dad kills family and commits suicide

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was talking to a friend about this website and he asked me if i remember a story about a jw family, murder/ suicide, i remember hearing a story about a jw dad killing his wife and his kids, i believe the news said that he stabbed and shot them, and that he may have killed them because his wife was about to divorce him.

  it happend in ca and i think it was sometime around 1992-1993, i heard a little about it on the news back then but nothing more after that.

  if you know about this story or something like it please post.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not sure if this has been talked about already, forgive me i am a newbie, but has anyone seen that movie saved, aside from the gay stuff the movie i swear is about jw's, i like the part where that one chick throws the bible at the other, and she picks up the bible and say "this is not a weapon" that was so funny.

  anyone ever been hit by a jw book?

  if you haven't seen that movie i reccommend it, some can relate, i related to the jew girl in the movie, i would have totally been her friend.

  Books

  i dont know if anyone here has a similar story like this but when i was a kid my parents did not allow any worldly books in our house the only ones were jw books.

  one time back in the 5th grade i had to do a book report and my teacher gave us all a list of books that we could pick one to do the report.

  the idea was to go to the local library or simply buy the book.

  My story: Getting away from the Muggles

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was born into a jw home, my parents converted from catholicism a few years before my birth, so like many of you i never grew up in a home we the future was discussed in a joyful or hopeful manner, instead the doom of the end of this system of things was constant reminder that god was going to destroy the earth.

  in my preteen years i remember my parents trying to rush me into being baptized before the next convention, and even would try to entice me with talking about a party and presents, i resisted, to which i had brothers trying to study with me after school, even waiting for me outside my elementary school, follow me home and talk about the end of the world and that i better be baptized, i think eventually they gave up on me and thought that i was too young.

  later when i was in high school same games, although this time more intense.

  A joke my priest told me.

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. social
  2. humour

  there were these two young boys, they were up past their bedtime watching tv, but the only program that was on was a televangelist, and he put the fear into these boys that you had to be baptized in order to make it to heaven, and that you could die in your sleep and not be in the favor of the lord.

  well this really scared the poor kids, so they jumped up and ran out of the house and down the street to the nearest church, they were banging on the door, they just kept banging and banging, until finally the janitor opened the door, and said what do you want they yelled we want to get baptized, we want to get baptized, the janitor said well come back in the morning and talk to the priest, they cried no!, no!, we have to get baptized tonight, we have to get baptized right now,

  well they wouldnt leave the poor janitor alone, until finally he said ok, ok come with me.
