  How many 'real" friends did you ever really have in ther "truth'

  by The Lone Ranger in

  2. friends

  sure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?

  a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.

  i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

  PO said automation and declining contributions reason for Bethel layoffs

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last week at the meeting, the po, who has very close connections to bethel, said that he never thought he would see the day that bethelites were being sent home.

  he said that the biggest two reasons he thought bethel were cutting back, was automation and a massive decline in contributions.

  looks like you're right metatron about the contribution aspect being their achilles heel.

  While a JW, Did You Ever Let On That You Were "Going Apostate"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never did, although i did tell my former bible student/tennis partner that the bible does not condemn celebrating birthdays or recommend celebrating anniverseries.

  he told his jw brother who told his elders who told my po.

  when the po asked me about the conversation, i told him he asked me some questions and i truthfully answered., i said, "nothing i said was wrong or incorrect".

  You Will Know By The Love They Have Among Themselves

  by Corvin in

  2. beliefs

  the organization of jehovah's witnesses boasts of having true brotherly love for one another.

  i always believed they did, although i never felt it growing up in it.

  i reckoned that there was something wrong with me since i never felt that "joy" and "spirit of love" that supposedly permeated the congregations.
