How did you accept counsel
by KAYTEE inwas it easy to accept council from elders, i found it extremely hard, the reason being it was always laced with stupidity.. just one of the many many times i had run ins with the elders.. when discussing an important issue that had come up (usually personally), the elder said to me "getting your little green book out again", a reference to my use of the wts code of conduct book (the organisation book) trying to counsel me on the use of wts material.
how can you start from common ground when you have foolish statements said like that from so called spiritual leaders .
my dear old mum, when bringing up 4 children after the war, gave us every week a dose of cod liver oil ,her reason was we needed it.. cod liver oil is like counsel.

As lurkers, what kept you from posting? Fear? Was there a basis for it?
by What-A-Coincidence infor me it was the fear of getting 'caught'?
if that's the case, just don't give out names, places or dates.. i have been on jwd for over 2 years.
the only way 'they' can catch me is if i give out details on the forum.. so lurkers...come out and get empowered!.

by danfromma inor in service, or just by jws period... me, i was notorious for doodling in my literature.
when i was about 12, i got caught drawing the led zeppelin logo in my bible by the meanest elder in the hall.
my mother wouldn't let me out of the house for about 2 months!

Circuit Overseer Complains Of Recieving HATE MAIL!
by minimus inthe co visited my mom this week with 2 elders and told her that she must continue forgiving persons that might hurt her.
he then went on to explain that he gets "hate mail" from various witnesses when he leaves their congregations.
he chalks it up to their being discouraged but admitted it does bother him......have you ever heard of such a thing?

Worst Thing Youve Done In A Meeting?
by chuckie77 inwhats the worst thing youve done during a meeting?
years ago, when i was a bit more wicked/naughty/younger than i am now, i thought i would take some drugs just prior to the meeting to see if it would make things any more interesting.
it didnt, but at least i enjoyed the kingdom melodies tapping my foot to the beat and bopping my head!!

A Million Questions
by ConcernedMom inhi, i have been lurking at this site and a few other jw or xjw sites in search of some clarity but i am just getting more confused...
my 15 year old daughter has been dating a 17 year old jw for about 2 1/2 months.
he seems like a very nice kid--very shy (he is just starting to talk around me now...still not too much to my husband).

HOW PERCEPTIVE ARE YOU?
by minimus inpeople make the world go round.
there are a number of very sharp people on this board.
when we interact with one another, we learn what makes us tick.most that are here are either out or on their way out of "the truth".through experience, we understand the pros and cons of life.
