  Whats the strangest thing you've seen someone get in trouble for?

  by LaniB in

  i remember one windy summer day, after a meeting on sunday morning, i walked out of the hall behind a sister who was part of the church congregation with her two teenage children.

  her husband did not attend.

  the wind caught her dress unexpectedly and blew it up a'la marilyn monroe and revealed that she was wearing (shock, horror) french knickers...... there were a few murmers behind me which i at the time put down to things like "oh poor girl, so embarrassing".

  i don't give a bit about the jw's i am now feeling totally free from them.

  i have read a lot about the bs and the money grubbing ways of the wts.

  thanks to all of you and the links i have learned of.. my kids are now foreign to me as they are totally immersed in the lie.

  Query about how they work their numbers

  by LaniB in

  since i have never officially disassociated myself but became inactive and just drifted away does that mean they still count me as one of their numbers in each year book?.

  hmmm, never thought of it that way.

  if so i am off to write my disassociated letter, but i did think how funny it would be if everyone who was like me suddenly opted out at once and they still counted us until then.

  For you "sisters" who married in the "Truth"...

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  just a poll question.

  at the first convention/ assembly following your wedding ... did you parade around the convention site gloating in other sisters' faces, showing off your new husband?

  i've never done it, but i can't help but suspect that others do.

  firstly some background.. when i was 21 i went to live in sydney and left my congregation in tasmania.

  until then i had never seen the bad side of the borg.

  being new in town and staying with my non jw sibling i immediately checked in with the local congregation and soon found a fellow witness to share an apartment with.

  i saw a related thread around here but can't locate it so i'm posting this personal observation on what i would call a "high-profile" couple.

  rich and bright i met them at the kh.

  it starts about three years ago when a family moved to our area; a couple and their child.
