  Was this like Armageddon over Sydney yesterday?

  been off-air mopping up since last night.

  the mother of all storms hit us and quite suddenly - one minute it was hot (as usual lately), the next all went dark and the most violent of thunderstorms hit us.

  in a time of drought this was some reversal!

  Getting my groove back

  by Stezza in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  fate (or something) has meant that my last day of work is friday and that i will be able to go home for about 3 weeks.

  home is melbourne, australia, i live in ireland at the moment.. when i left the organisation in around 1998, i pretty much disappeared, i was fortunate enough to have to travel for work and move back home (no point renting if you are never there and you are not home so much your mother annoys you), so i never got the difficult questions, hauled out the back etc, anyway in their minds i was a single girl desperate to get married they probably thought i found a boyfriend, i actually would of liked to have been a missionary) .

  after i travelled for work i resigned and did what many antipodeans do - travel and and live overseas.

  i talked to my mom yesterday.

  she just had to vent about some "brother" in her car group this week.

  he had been in the hospital and racked up a $25,000.00 bill but had no insurance to pay for it.

  long story short: my nan, mum's mum (mum's a jw), has two living sisters, aunty a and aunty j; none of them are witnesses and don't like jws very much.

  they're all in their eighties.

  my nan lives in the state i grew up in but my (great) aunts live in the state i live in now and are visiting my nan.

  time to introduce myself

  by Sam87 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, ive been posting here for quite a few days and i realised that i havnt actually introduced myself properly.

  at the moment i am slowly gathering as much information about what the org has done wrong and i will be putting it into an easy to read (easy enough for jws to read i should say.

  later on i would like to go to an assembly and put my new 'tracts' on the seats and under peoples window washers, anywhere where they can be seen, because i view this as my new form of witnessing, and let me tell you its going to be alot more fullfilling than anything ive ever done in the jehovahs witnesses!.

  Do you get stressed talking to JWs?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a salesman, so will talk to anyone, anytime without fear.

  but for some reason, everytime i need to speak to a jw i get a huge rush of nerves.. i also am an accountant and do tax returns, and this year lost most of my jw clients.

  some went to another accountant in the congregation.

  Hi Everyone

  by Stezza in

  2. experiences

  i have been reading here for a while but as you may of noticed the assembly games post has flushed me out!

  it has been fascinating to read all your experiences and to know that the stuff that i thought was odd, was thought odd by others as well.. two things made me leave:.

  1. i found i could not do return visits as i did not want to break up families.

  District Assembly Games

  by *jeremiah* in

  2. experiences

  i left the jw's when i was 17, so most of these games were played during teenage years.. here are some things i remember doing with my friends during the assembly:.

  1. the last clap.

  after a brothers talk or when "new light" emerged and the entire stadium would erupt with clapping we would see if one of us could be the very last person in the entire stadium to clap.. 2. the laugh game.
