  Should I Do It ??? I Think I Will.

  by Big Jim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been working on my letter to our local congregation to dis-associate myself.. since my wife is still very active in the non-truth and she also insist that i write this letter, i believe i will take her congregation address and telephone list and send my letter with all the facts about the wbts history of lies and send everyone in the congregation my letter via certified mail.

  .

  it would probally set me back a few hundred bucks but i think it would be well worth it, what do you think??

  Headcoverings, Goals & Women's Roles

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always felt that requiring sisters to wear headcoverings was assinine.

  jehovah won't strike you down for not wearing a headcovering".

  word gets back to the co on his next visit that i don't let sisters wear headcoverings at the bookstudy when they read and he reams me out for it.

  Hmmm,

  These angels aren't too clever by the sound of it, all that destructive power and you need to wear a tea towel so that they know that you mean no offence?

  Complement a Poster

  by Black Man in

  2. friends

  here's your chance to complement a poster whose posts make you think, make you mad, make you laugh, make you cry.

  i usually find something that i dig in everybody's post around these parts.

  but i'll single out some peeps in particular.

  Let me say first of all that I like all the lady posters much better than the fellas, so any guy on this site is at least 1000 or so down the list.

  Course, that doesn't mean that because I like your posts that I necessarilly like you! Or that I can spell necesarily - bugger!

  I mean, we have got some really evil Norwegians on board, that ugly bugger Kent for one, JanH looks like the "Laughing Cavalier" and as for gentleman Norm (Hello sailor), well......

  As for the Yanks, Ha! They got their own private language! Randy thinks we live in BritIAn!

  I wont have a go at the Aussies, they're still smarting from the whuppin they got from the British lions!

  The only poster who is "Practically perfect in every way" is:

  Nope, modesty overcomes me, I cannot say, my lips are sealed.

  Tina,

  Interesting question!

  I think that I have simply more time to do what I always wanted to do.

  I enjoy: Pubs , reading, steam locomotives, soccer, bird watching, walking and travelling abroad.

  Wish I had a coupla million £££££££££££s to do it all the time!

  Supposing that you sent a letter to every JW you knew, and it went something like this:

  Dear Bert & Ethel,

  I haven't atteneded the meetings for a while, so I thought that I would put you in the picture as to the reason.

  I can't seem to come to terms with the idea of there being an Earthly organisation that is run by Jehovah through a faithful and discreet slave class, as there is no link in the Bible that makes this connection. This lack of spirit direction is probably why so many of the societies prophesies have not materialised.

  I wish you and your family all the best for the future.

  A. Postate.

  Its short and makes its point, and its just simple points that stick in one's mind. A long letter would be, IMHO, self defeating.

  it seems like to me the majority of people who are in the truth, are were in the truth was a result of either a family member are a friend witnessing to them and not many seem to have been found in the door to door work.. from my years of associating with the borg i cannot recall many coming in the truth from the door to door work.. how were you sucked in?

  for me it was my aunt who has now even though i am not disfellowshipped decided to write me out of her will to the tune of about $150,000.00 (maybe i should hang around a couple more years)dont think i will.. please respond .

  thanks.

  My parents were converted when I was 8. I was DF'd at age 26 for associating with other DF'd persons.

  FredHall:

  Well good for you Englishman.

  That's right, young Fred-me-lad, I was DF'd for doing just the same as what you do here. Maybe it's your youth that saves you from the elders?

  amnong the jws that post here, i do find you more rational and honest to exchange thoughts ... but, your last comment to billy made me a little curious:.

  you said, billygoat: you are right that "bad associations spoil useful habits.
