  Did your Kingdom hall ever cancel meetings?

  by moshe in

  2. friends

  we were building a new kh- not quick build- and we had to vacate the old building and the new kh was not finished.

  the elders decided to cancel all the meeting with the exception of the tuesday night bookstudy in homes.

  we had no other meetings for about 4-5 weeks.

  my microwave is not heating up food.

  it activates and everything seems to work, but it does not heat anything up.

  i have taken out the panel underneath to see if anything is leaking or wires hanging out or exposed and nothing.

  JWs on Friends Reunited

  by solo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who have not heard of it friends reunited is a web site where you can look up you old schools and and see what all your old school mates are doing, you can post your own profile and let everyone else know what you are doing.

  well i have checked out several schools where i know jws went and have found several of them have posted there, some of them have also included their profile to let everyone know what they have done since leaving school, jobs, where they have moved to and if you got married and had kids.. however, not one single one of them has stated that they are jws???

  isn't this supposed to be the most important thing in their life, would it not merit a mention, surely they are not ashamed, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to witness?

  you ontarians know how to do it up right!

  what a revelation!

  by solo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post and what a revelation this site has been to me (excuse the pun) if only this had been available when i walked away from the "truth" in 1987, it would have made life a lot more bearable for me.. i was brought up a jw and was baptized at 14 because i thought it was the right thing to do, endured a very strict upbringing combined with the dreadful routines of worship, study and door knocking.

  we were deprived of any enjoyment (tv, friends, outings, fun, etc).

  education was a bit of a disruption, having moved to where the need was greater our schooling was interrupted so many times we never made any friends.
