  Are Faders Making It Too Easy For The WT?

  by ThomasCovenant in

  i've always tried to teach my kids to follow aesop's fable of the 'sun and the wind', i.e.

  try the gentle persuasion method for achieving your goals rather than head on aggression.

  however as with most things in life there is a time and place for both.

  No Trespassing!! Breaking news for local JW's.

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this week at the book study, at all congregations in the u.s., a letter was read saying if you go to a house or property with a "no trespassing" sign, you must not enter, or knock on the door.

  you have to leave immediately.

  a sign saying "no solicitors" is too ambiguous, and they are to use their own judgment, and don't have to knock.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

  What have you been up to?

  by ShaunaC in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  life as a jw is very...well...sheltered.

  many experiences are outright condemned.

  still, when others don't have specific rules against them, we more often than not, at least i did, choose not to engage in them so as not to stumble someone who would not approve.. very soon after my exodus from the wt i decided that life is an adventure.
