so at long last i've converted my childhood friend from being an apologist to being a near apostate.

lemme tell you how that happened.

this guy and i debate almost daily the virtues of being one of "jehovah's people.

A bit reluctant
by saki2fifty in

2. friends
i'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.

even a bit nervous... .

i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.

BE AFRAID OF THE ELDERS!!!
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
the elders now have the right to be involved in every facet of a witnesses' life!

they want your phone numbers, cell numbers, they are to be inquired of if you want to take a sh*t. these "good" men will turn into power hungry masters, if they are not already.

the society is taking control over every jw!

Should I admit to JWs that I am disfellowshipped?
by jwfacts in
1. jw
2. experiences
i know about 2000 jws in sydney, and have 50 that are tax clients, so barely a week goes by without bumping into someone i know.

it seems that few of them realise that i am disfellowshipped because they talk freely to me.

last week i accidently sat next to an elder on the train and we engaged in small talk for over 30 minutes.. should i admit to these people that i am not a jw?.
