Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels
by purrpurr ina friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.
yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.
she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

Hot Topic threads Pinned by a Moderator-Suggestion
by TakeOffTheCrown inthreads that are a "hot topic" should have the option of being pinned by a moderator.
those who are interested, can suggest to a moderator that the subject be pinned.
if a "hot topic" is not pinned, it is lost within a few hours.. most will go to page 1 or 2 (not many more pages) to see the latest topics.. is having a subject pinned an option for this database?.

Please DON'T. Currently the "Hot Topic(s) is/are the RC Hearings, so because of increased interest, these rise to the top of the Latest column sort, kind of a "pinned by default" option.
IMO, we don't need another layer of Mod involvement, they have enough to do around the forum.
Just skip to page 3 or 4 or use the home page to look by topic area. JUST a thought.

One thing I always looked forward to was meeting and socializing with a wider variety of fellow witnesses at the DCs. IF this becomes a trend, then it will mean an ever shrinking pool for single people to choose JW marriage mates from. And since we were always encouraged to attend ones ASSIGNED convention, what do we think will happen to the last stragglers of younger witnesses left? Yep, they will find SOMEONE, just not a fellow dub.
Good, let the young ones leave in droves. Fu#k WT.

Just wrote my DA letter....
by dubstepped inmy wife and i planned on fading but the elders now want a shepherding call and we are just done.
i know that many play the game to try to stay in, but i'm not a game player and neither is my wife.
our families already shun us because we reached out to a disfellowshipped family member.

LURKING JW: Thinking of leaving? Learn from my experience.
by SnakesInTheTower in"mental wondering in the wilderness"... uh oh.... it's a long post from snakes.... lol.
yep... i think that is the best way to describe where i am at in life right now.
if you have read my past posts (mostly in the private section) you know some of my history as a life-long (now former) witness.. i have been away from the jw religion, for all intents and purposes, since dec. 06, though it was not until sept 07 that i stopped attending meetings.

this is a bump. I had not seen the original bump from 2 years ago. I was doing a search for some of my old posts to possibly link to a more recent one. I think this is one of them.
Man how my life has changed from 7 years ago.

Are the trolley dollies* getting any results? Or, is it just another waste of life?
by fulltimestudent insteve2 initiated a discussion on how our former loving brothers and sisters are behaving, while engaging in the 'trolley work.
' (link: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/93590001/within-one-minute-jw-trolley-directs-me-jw-org ).
my own observations are the same as the posters report on steve2's thread.

So I live in a town of <29,000. There are 2 congos here. Until 91 I was in one then the ither until 02. We did street witnessing, but as you can imagine, not much foott traffic. I finally seen two people with a cart in an unusual location. I think was the COBOE and his wife, both pioneers. Check out the location on Google Street View
Near a dental college, near a statue, little foot traffic. Stupid

Wtwizard: I agree with you about supporting local. TH is not near where we live, we were shopping nearby, had heard on the news about them, and thought we'd try it. We have several locally owned small bakeries in our town we prefer. We make our own coffee (usually Trader Joe....ironically owned by Aldi), sometimes from a local roaster.
Heaven: my wife will probably call today, 800# no answer on Saturday. The TH we went to had the faux fireplace, we sat in the chairs, but we moved to a table.
WC: panera (here called St. Louis Bread Co.) has better pastries. The best thing I got at Bread Co. is my wife. She worked there when I first asked her out on a date. Oh yeah, TODAY JULY 27 is our 4th wedding anniversary. LOL

So my wife and I went to TH yesterday. The chain started opening stores in the St. Louis, MO area about a month ago. By now the bugs should be worked out. Not so much.
My wife ordered a cherry pastry and an iced coffee. Do you know what it looked like? A convention pastry had been run over flat, removed from the package, and put in the case. Then the cherries removed. The "cherry" part looked as if had been scraped from the bottom of the can. My wife ate one bite and was done.
Her coffee... the girl at the counter filled the cup to the top, THEN poured off 2 ounces. WHY? My wife asked for cinnamon, and they were going to put cinnamon SUGAR in it. Ugh. My wife wanted to put her own stuff in the coffee, but they did not have it out.
My black coffee was ok, the chocolate cake donut was small but tolerable. Sadly, for a place supposed to be known for baked goods, the missed the mark.
Is this place hetter in Canada? I just do not get the Tim Horton mystique.

Do not Disassociate, Anull your baptism
by jwfacts ini am now a jedi, so trust me on this.. .
why dis-associate, you are just playing by the wts rules?
how can you dis-associate anyway, you never thought you were baptised as a watchtower society member, you thought your dedication was to god, so why formally disassociate from something you did not formally join?

It's funny seeing this thread resurrected 6 years later. I commented on it more extensively then than now. Then I had only been out 2 years, now it is 8 years.
This subject of recognizing my JW/WT baptism. I married a Catholic gal 4 years ago (we were just dating 6 years ago). She has gone through the process of getting Annulments of her 2 previous marriages. Her final step in being a good little Catholic is getting OUR marriage recognized in the Catholic church.
How does this tie into this thread? Because I had to go in and be interviewed by the parish priest. Nice fella. Then and there I told him I am no religion, not going to be Catholic, but that I no longer recognize my JW baptism, but there is no mechanism for annulment. I signed some paperwork, vowed loyalty to my wife, and off we went.
My wife just got the letter back from the Dioscese today recognizing our marriage. They have a very legalistic system, could school WTBTS. Lol
So the dubs can kiss my pale, white ass.
